Ice Shot skill screenshot

Ice Shot is a ranged attack skill that fires an arrow that deals cold damage to the target and in a cone behind the target and creates chilled ground.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Explosion: On hitting a target, Ice Shot creates a cone-shaped explosion that damages enemies and creates ground ice. This triggers on every hit, so with increased pierce, fork, or chain count, multiple explosions can occur with one cast of Ice Shot. The explosions can overlap, but the chilling ground do not cumulatively stack.
