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 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.
