Name	Show Full Descriptions
Cold Penetration Support	Reduces enemy resistance to cold damage, making them take more cold damage from Ice Shot.
Lesser Multiple Projectiles Support	Increases the amount of projectiles Ice Shot fires, allowing it to hit more targets at once. At later levels, obtain the Greater Multiple Projectiles Support gem to hit enemies in a larger area.
Mirage Archer Support	When Ice Shot hits an enemy, an apparition is created above you that fires a copy of Ice Shot at enemies, at a reduced rate and with less damage.
Pierce Support	Allows projectiles from Ice Shot to travel through extra numbers of enemies, ensuring that more enemies in a pack will be hit by the projectiles.
Slower Projectiles Support	Reduces the projectile speed of Ice Shot but grants more projectile damage.
Elemental Damage with Attacks Support	Multiplies the elemental damage done by Ice Shot. Converting all physical damage from Ice Shot to elemental damage maximizes the benefit this support provides.

Ice Shot

Ice Shot is a ranged attack skill that fires an arrow that deals cold damage to the target and in a cone behind the target. The skill has increased chill effect and has a stronger threshold to apply the chill.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Explosion: On hitting a target, Ice Shot creates a cone-shaped explosion that damages enemies behind the primary target. Targets that create a cone-shaped explosion will not be damaged by their own cone, but can be damaged by other cones created by additional projectiles. This triggers on every hit, so with pierce, fork, chain, or return, multiple explosions can occur with one use of Ice Shot. The explosions can overlap.
