Freeze

Frozen solid

A Frozen skeleton archer

Freeze (known in status as Frozen) is an elemental ailment associated with cold that slows action speed by 100%, completely preventing the target from moving, attacking, or using any skills. It is possible to counteract this effect with flasks containing the 'of Heat' suffix, and the Unstoppable passive node. Acceleration Shrines and Tailwind cannot be used to overcome this slow.^[1]

Mechanics

A hit of damage that has a chance to freeze is capable of inflicting freeze. Critical strikes inherently have a 100% chance to freeze. By default, only cold damage is able to inflict freeze, but certain equipment can alter the default behavior such as Module Error: Item link: No results found for search parameter "The Three Dragons". can change which damage types are able to inflict freeze.

Base freeze duration is 60 milliseconds (0.06 seconds) for every 1% of the target's maximum life (before party scaling) dealt by cold damage, up to a maximum of 50% (3 seconds). Freezes with a duration smaller than 0.3 seconds are discarded, effectively requiring a hit of 5% enemy life.^[2] As an example, a mob that has approximately 20 000 000 life. Minimally freezing the mob would thus require a single hit of at least 1 000 000 cold damage.

Freeze duration can be increased (and therefore, minimum hit damage decreased) by freeze and ailment duration modifiers.

When a target is frozen, it is also considered chilled. As the target becomes unfrozen, chill will remain on the target for an additional duration of 0.3 seconds.^[3]
