How to use it

Guns with frost built in trigger it on a quarter of their hits as they drop, and the Elemental Core upgrade raises the chance. Any other gun can be given frost once it has an Elemental Core.

The Arcanist’s Empower makes every shot trigger its element for 6 seconds, which makes the Arcanist the best frost user in the game.
