Frost

Frost is a freezing weapon special. It is the 2nd lowest tier of freezing specials (2★). Frost weapons have a chance to Freeze their targets.

Damage

Damage inflicted by Frost depends on the Player level and Enemy ESP.

Rarity	Special Name	Power
2★	Frost	48%

Base Freeze Chance = ((Power) - (ESP)) * (1 - Special Reduction)
Freeze Chance = min((Base Freeze Chance), (Difficulty Cap)) * (Unit Boost)

• 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 (Frost has a power of 78%).
• Unit Boost is as follows:
  • 1.5 if either V501 or V502 are equipped
    • These stack with the android boost, but not with each other.
  • 1 if neither are equipped
• Difficulty Cap is 40%.

Epsilon, Zu, Pazuzu, Dorphon, Dorphon Eclair, Girtablulu, and all bosses cannot be Frozen. Characters equipped with a Cure/Freeze are also immune to being frozen.

List of Frost weapons

There are three weapon types that can have specials. Specials on common weapons dropping from Monsters or Item boxes are randomly assigned, but are predetermined on all rare weapons. Specials on ES Weapons can be added with Photon drops.

Rare weapons

There are no rare weapons with Frost as a special attack.

Common weapons

The chance of obtaining specials on common weapons depends on area and difficulty. When a common weapon drops in an untekked state, there is a chance for it to come with Frost as a special. Frost can also be obtained by tekking up or down a common weapon that drops with the Ice or Freeze special. Once a weapon drops in an untekked state, the table below lists the overall chance of it coming with the Frost special (including the ability to tekk up or down from Ice and Freeze).
