Frost

Frost Prime · The kit

Globe the pod, Avalanche the door

Frost is an ice warden. Snow Globe is the objective bubble — not the DPS. Avalanche is the 2026 kit: freeze, strip at 167% Strength, Overguard from Icy Avalanche. Ice Wave is a hallway slow. Freeze is a poke you Helminth off.

Icy Resolve

Cold Status from Frost's abilities lasts longer. He also gains Armor for each enemy afflicted with Cold inside Affinity Range. Freeze a pack, get tankier. That is the loop feeding Icy Avalanche later.

Freeze
1

Freeze

25

A single-target ice blast. Fine for a heavy that walked around the globe. Freeze Force (augment) turns a hold-cast into a Shock Trooper-style Cold weapon buff — that is the gun config, not the starter. Most 2026 strip builds Helminth this for Breach Surge.

Ice Wave

50

A forward wave of crystallized ice. Damage is not why you press it. Ice Wave Impedance paints a slowing ice trail — Defense hallways become rinks. Range is width, Duration is how long the floor stays hostile.

Snow Globe

Snow Globe

50

A sphere of ice that blocks incoming fire from the outside. You and allies shoot out. Health scales with Frost's Armor and Ability Strength. Range grows the radius — too big and Nullifiers pop it from a mile away. Recasting replaces it, it does not stack. Chilling Globe freezes anyone who steps in. This is an objective tool, not a DPS cooldown.

Avalanche

100

A landslide of ice. Applies a pile of Cold stacks, freezes, then permanently cuts armor — full strip at 167% Strength (about 137% with Corrosive Projection). Frozen kills can shatter into more Cold. Icy Avalanche grants Overguard per enemy hit. This is the 2026 button. Range is the room. Strength is a breakpoint, then you stop stacking it blindly.
