Freeze
Freeze is an elemental Status Ailment associated with Cold that completely prevents the affected target from moving, attacking, or using any skills. It is still possible for players to use Flasks while Frozen.
Enemies that are killed while Frozen shatter into pieces, leaving no corpse that can be resurrected. A shattered corpse does not transfer status ailments with Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Elemental Proliferation" to nearby enemies. Enemies that take on a secondary form, such as the Shield Crab, do not morph if the first form shatters. Unique enemies can never shatter.
Freeze is typically inflicted by Critical Strikes of Cold Damage. There are other ways for Freeze to be applied as well. Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Freeze Mine". Please choose only one of the following ids:

Skills such as Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cold Snap". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterColdSnap - Deals (10-2495) to (14-3736) Cold Damage, 10% chance to Freeze enemies (page)
WetaColdSnapOnDeath - Deals (11-5871) to (16-8806) Cold Damage, Base duration is 5.00 seconds, Deals (7.4-4077) Base Cold Damage per second, (0-10)% chance to Freeze enemies, (1-100)% more Effect of Chill, Base radius is 3 metres, Base secondary radius is 1.5 metres, Base tertiary radius is 3 metres (page) have a built-in chance to Freeze targets.
The base duration of Freeze is proportional to the damage relative to the target's maximum life dealt by the Cold Damage. Or equivalent damage in the case of Freeze Mine.
Let N be the Cold Damage dealt and L be the target's maximum Life. The Freeze duration D in milliseconds is then given by:
If N > L ÷ 3, then N = L ÷ 3 D = N ÷ ( L ÷ 100 ) × 100ms
If the duration would be less than 300 milliseconds, the Freeze effect is not applied. The maximum, unmodified Freeze duration from Cold Damage is 3.333 seconds.
When playing in a party, a monster's max life is treated as being the same as it would be in a single player game for the purposes of calculating these durations.
