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
Frost is a bit of a weird frame, where his original focus was more around being Defensive/Protecting Objectives has become less effective/relevant in more recent updates and has started to become fairly strong offensively.
Freeze is Frost’s first ability and it’s fairly flexible in how it can be used.
Ice Wave is Frost’s second Ability and the Icy Wave Impedance Augment.
Snow Globe
Unfortunately Eximus enemies and enemies with Overguard have really diminished the effectiveness of this ability, and defensive focused frames overall.
Avalanche and Icy Avalanche Augment
Like Frost’s other abilities (besides Ice Wave), this adds +6 Cold procs to nearby enemies and up to 4 cold Procs on anything resistant to status.
Biting Frost This Augment provides +200% Crit Chance and Crit Damage to any enemies Frozen (additive to Point Strike/Vital Sense style mods). It’s unaffected by power strength. I consider this Augment to be fairly strong, especially because you will be hitting Frozen enemies which are essentially free headshots for even more damage. The only real downsides are energy management, and ineffectiveness against enemies that cannot be Frozen. It’s probably best to run an efficiency focused build, and look to running something like Exodia Brave or Energy Generator. If you’re far enough into the game for the Helminth, then Zenurik + Nourish also very strong for regenerating energy.
At the time of writing this, Frost Prime (and Mag Prime) are currently available from Prime Resurgence for another 120 days. You can exchange Aya with Varzia for some relics containing parts for either of these frames. Primes are not mandatory, they just have some minor stat buffs and look aesthetically different. If you don’t care for a Prime Frame then there’s nothing wrong with skipping it for something you’re more interested in.
