Editing Freeze (status) (section)

==Mechanics==
{{Freeze}}, {{Confuse}}, {{Shock}}, and {{Slow}} cannot affect the same player or monster at the same time; if a player or monster is inflicted with any of these statuses, they will lose any others they have. Freeze will suppress flinching animations and invulnerability frames, making it a very dangerous status effect when surrounded.

===Players===
Freeze lasts for 5 seconds, but they can end the effect earlier by having level 7 {{Anti}} cast on them or by repeatedly moving left and right. Freeze prevents players from moving, attacking, casting techniques, or using items. Players with a {{Unit|rare|Cure/Freeze}} equipped are immune to freeze.

===Monsters===
Freeze lasts for 5 seconds, and the effect cannot have its timer reset by reapplying it midway through the duration. Freeze prevents monsters from moving or attacking. [[Epsilon]], [[Zu]], [[Pazuzu]], [[Dorphon]], [[Dorphon Eclair]], [[Girtablulu]], and all bosses are immune to freeze.  Enemies are likewise immune to freeze while in a flying state ([[Nano Dragon]], [[Canane]]/[[Canadine]], [[Gee]], [[Recon]], [[Mothmant]], [[Gi Gue]]).  Frozen monsters' EVP is reduced by 30%.

===Special attacks===
Players and monsters can be frozen using the special attack from a Blizzard-series weapon. Provided the attack connects, each special has a different chance of success.

Androids receive a 30% boost to the activation rate of all freezing specials on Ultimate difficulty. This value can be added directly to the values in the Power column (for example, Frost would have a power of 78%). {{Unit|rare|V501}} and {{Unit|rare|V502}} give an additional 50% boost to the activation rate of freezing specials; these stack with the android boost, but not with each other. 

<pre>
Base Freeze Chance = ((Power) - (ESP)) * (Special Reduction)
Freeze Chance = min((Base Freeze Chance), (Difficulty Cap)) * (Unit Boost)
</pre>

The <code>Difficulty Cap</code> is 40%.

{{Gun|rare|Frozen Shooter}} and {{Gun|rare|Snow Queen}} have special mechanics with freezing targets; if the projectile from their special attack connects, it has a 100% chance to freeze any non-immune enemy.
