Little late this week but we are back with another cool Warframe
This is Frost, colder and deadlier than space itself. Frost can protect or punish, the decision is yours.
1st ability-Freeze A blast of cold energy that can freeze the target
2nd ability-Ice Wave Send out a wave of frozen ice dealing heavy damage and inflicting cold upon enemies
3rd ability-Snow Globe Create an icy barrier to stop incoming projectiles, great for defending objectives
4th ability-Avalanche Summon a landslide of ice to freeze and shatter all enemies in its radius
Passive Enemies hitting Frost with a melee attack have a 10% chance to get frozen for 20 seconds
Progenitor-Cold
Subsumed Ability-Ice Wave
Tactical Ability-Snow Globe
Frost can be found by defeating Captain Vor and Lech Kril on Exta, Ceres with the main blueprint on the Market
Frost was introduced 1/29/2013 in update 6.0. His design was based on an unused boss from DE’s previous game, Dark Sector
Frost Prime was introduced in update 7.10 in 5/3/2013. Frost prime is tied with Hydroid Prime for the fourth highest possible shields at 3,195
Frost is the second Warframe that received a prime version, and the first one that is craftable.
I really like Frost (Honestly I’m a big fan of all the elemental based frames)
He excels at defending objectives with his abilities, and with the introduction of his new mod for Ice Wave, Icy Avalanche, he can protect his allies with plenty of overguard
I do think if I could change the scaling, I’d give Avalanche a full strip at 200% strength.
My biggest wish other than more scaling on his 2,3, and 4 is a rework/replace on his 1 and passive. I’m with you in the fact they just don’t really do anything.
Forgot about his orbs only working with ally fire in one direction, I’ve been defeated by friendly Globes more than I’d like to admit.
Overall I think all your points would be worth it. Like all frames of course you can make him work/he is good enough but I would like to see him more comfortable to play
His Avalanche only actually needs 167% power strength to reach 100% armor strip, the thing that limits it is it’s mediocre 15m base range which kinda forces you to run Overextended and thus have to add another 60% strength to compensate.
And I agree, he is perfectly playable, his play style just really only works against Grineer/Corrputed or lower level other factions and it boils down to casting 4 over and over, his only good ability. He is still in a much better spot than the likes of Hydroid, Limbo or Inaros.
