Acquisition

• Can be granted to any infusable melee weapon or Thrusting Shield (except for Throwing Blades, Backhand Blades, fist-sized weapons, Whips, and Perfume Bottles) with the Ash of War: Chilling Mist.

Effects

The user braces themselves and readies the weapon, coating it in a frosty essence that grants a 40-second Weapon Buff that adds 60 points of base Frostbite build-up to the weapon. Afterwards, the user performs a horizontal slash and unleashes a cold mist that lasts for 5.5 seconds. The slash deals 170% of the weapon's Attack Power and inflicts 100% of the weapon's Status Effect build-up, while the cold mist inflicts 60 points of base Frostbite build-up every 0.7 seconds for the the first 1.5 seconds and then 120 points of base Frostbite build-up every 0.7 seconds for the next 4 seconds (720 Frostbite build-up in total from the mist).

This skill has heavy Hyper Armor.

If performing without the sufficient FP or stat requirements, the user will simply perform a horizontal slash that deals only 100% of the weapon's Attack Power. No Weapon Buff is granted, and no cold mist is unleashed.

Frame data

The slash happens on frame 35/1.17 seconds in followed by the mist on frame 36/1.20 seconds in. The entire skill takes 58 frames/1.93 seconds to perform.

The Hyper Armor lasts from frame 11/0.37 seconds in until frame 61/2.03 seconds in.

Boosting

• The Warrior Jar Shard and the Shard of Alexander boost damage by an additional 10% and 15% respectively.
  • The Warrior Jar Shard and the Shard of Alexander cannot be stacked together.
• This skill benefits from repeated-hits boosters like the Thorny Cracked Tear, the Winged Sword Insignia, the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia, and Millicent's Prosthesis.
  • The Winged Sword Insignia and Rotten Winged Sword Insignia cannot be stacked together.

Strategies

• The immense Frostbite build-up if a target stands in the mist for the entire duration (not counting the Frostbite from the Weapon or Weapon Buff) is enough to inflict the Status Effect on all but the most resistant targets in one cast.
  • Enemies that need at least two casts: Ancestor Spirits, Ancestral Followers, Ancient Heroes of Zamor, Dragonkin Soldiers, and Magma Wyrms.
