An expanding ice blast that damages and heavily slows everything it touches — the cheapest area anti-mobility tool.
Numbers: 95 spirit damage (+0.47 scaling), -48% Move Slow for 4s, 10m max radius, 25s cooldown; +6% Spirit Resist
Buy it when
Buy when you need an area slow to catch runners or peel a dive; it upgrades into Arctic Blast.
Skip it when
The blast expands over about a second, so fast enemies can escape it.
Problems it answers
- Gap closers and escapes — “They reach me whenever they want and leave when they want.”
- Dive onto the backline — “They jump straight past the frontline onto me.”
- Air mobility — “They fight from above and I cannot touch them.”
