Spam Avalanche for freeze, strip, and Icy Avalanche Overguard. Snow Globe on objectives. Ice Wave is the usual Helminth slot.

Melee hits and freeze procs chill the room. Avalanche freezes and strips armor (aim ~167%+ Strength for full strip). Icy Avalanche converts hits into squad Overguard.

• 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: Icy Avalanche on Avalanche. Optional Biting Frost for crits into frozen targets.

• Strength — strip + Overguard
• Casting Speed
• Violet Equilibrium

Replace Ice Wave. Parasitic Armor feeds more Avalanche Overguard; Roar / Airburst are alts.

• Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption

  Excellent

  Avalanche freeze + strip + Icy Avalanche Overguard trivializes dense SP rooms.

• Mobile Defense / Excavation

  Excellent

  Avalanche the point wave; Overguard coats the squad.

• Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs

  Strong

  Fast once Avalanche is online; empty tiles waste casts.

• Spy / Rescue / Nightmare

  Weak

  Loud ice kit — not stealth.

• Open World / Bounties

  Strong

  Camp clumps Avalanche well.

• Long-Range Gunplay / Eidolon-Style Content

  Weak

  Avalanche wants packed mid-range enemies.
