• 1 Freeze — Single-target freeze / Freeze Force hold buff. Often flexed.
• 2 Ice Wave — Cold wave. Common Helminth slot (Parasitic Armor / Roar / Airburst).
• 3 Snow Globe — Absorbing ice bubble. Chilling Globe freezes entrants. Recast to implode.
• 4 Avalanche — AoE freeze + armor strip. Icy Avalanche grants affinity-range Overguard per enemy.
• Augment: Biting Frost. Pair with Icy Avalanche for Overguard while you shoot.
