NameShow Full Descriptions
Added Cold Damage SupportIncreases the amount of flat cold damage your Frostbolt does.
Cold Penetration SupportReduces enemy resistance to cold damage, making them take more cold damage from Frostbolt.
Hypothermia SupportProvides an increase to chill and freeze chance with Frostbolt, as well as providing more damage against chilled enemies.
Controlled Destruction SupportGrants more spell damage to Frostbolt but reduces critical strike chance. The more spell damage provided by this support allows a direct and stable increase in damage not contingent on critical strikes.
Spell Echo SupportRepeats Frostbolt an additional time while also greatly increasing the cast speed.
Faster Casting SupportIncreases the cast speed of Frost Bolt, allowing the projectiles to be cast more frequently.

    Frostbolt

    Frostbolt is a cold spell that fires a slow-moving projectile that pierces all targets. Frostbolt interacts with Ice Nova and Vortex, allowing those spells to be cast on Frostbolt projectiles instead of the player.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Ice Nova and Vortex: When Ice Nova or Vortex is cast while the player has active Frostbolt projectiles, the skills will be cast on the projectiles rather than the player but with 20% less area of effect. Ice Nova will cast on up to 2 Frostbolts, and Vortex will cast on up to 4. Vortex will consume the projectiles, but Ice Nova will not.

    • Projectile speed: Frostbolt's total projectile distance traveled is not affected by changes to projectile speed (such as Faster Projectiles Support or Slower Projectiles Support).

    • Fork and Chain: Frostbolt projectiles will always pierce, and therefore can never fork or chain.
