Synergies[]

  • Due to its ability to keep enemies constantly slowed it works well with Heart of Ice.

Notes[]

  • Though the refire time for Ice Shards is 0.38 seconds, the player regains control after 0.06 seconds, resulting in a minimum wait time of 0.32 seconds between the end of one attack and the start of the next.
  • Due to the extremely quick attack speed and the somewhat long duration of the slow effect, this weapon can be used to keep nearby enemies constantly slowed at all times.
