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
Since the buff to his augment a few weeks ago Frost has become my favorite frame. I completely disagree with the people saying he isn’t endgame viable. I’ve run him in Steel Path, Archon hunts, and long SP circuit runs with level 1000+ enemies. The only real weakness frost has right now is damage, which is solved by having any sort of half decent gun or melee.
Frost’s first 3 abilities aren’t super useful. Though the dome can be okay for taking some heat off in defense. I replace his 2nd ability with Lavos’ movement ability to help frost’s movement issues. I choose lavos because it is the only helminth movement ability that doesn’t require duration, since my frost has 15% duration. The first ability is only useful for removing domes.
The key to frost’s strength is his 4th ability. This baby has it all (minus damage) His fourth ability has easily attained 100% armor strip, which works on eximus and certain bosses like jackal. With its augment it generates massive amounts of overguard for you and your teammates. And provides great CC by freezing or slowing enemies, the slow seeming to bypass nearly all kinds of immunities (you can slow nullies through their bubble for example.)
Edit: the slow/freeze is also nice for getting incarnon headshots more easily
Yeah, I don’t get the sentiment that he’s weak when he’s a very good gun buff frame. Avalanche, plus or minus Biting Frost, lets him unleash ungodly amounts of damage. I guess that’s the thing, he does need some investment in having a good arsenal?
