How to Use Ice-Tipped Arrows Effectively

Practical tips you won't find on the tooltip

🌊

AoE Clearing

Invest in Area of Effect to cover more ground. Excellent for map clearing and handling packs efficiently.

🏹

Projectile Scaling

Extra projectiles (GMP) and Pierce/Chain/Fork dramatically multiply your clear. Choose based on mob density.

❄️

Freeze Defense

Cold damage can Freeze enemies, providing excellent defensive utility. Higher hits = longer freeze duration.

Duration Matters

Duration scaling extends effect uptime. Less recasting = more time dealing damage. Invest in skill duration passives.
