WE NEED MORE CHAMPS WITH FROSTBITE etc.

Was reading over karolinas abilities and noticed she was immune to frostbite and remembered that frostbite was an effect in this game.

It is currently the rarest DOT source in the game with i think only one champion having it which is Iceman. And even still he doesn't have it as a DOT he has it as a burst (feel free to correct me, I don't know much about him).

Alongside novaflame, there's barely anyone who utilizes these abilities. You can also make the same argument for coldsnap. Outside kate, serpent, misty knight and iceman, I can't think of anyone who utilizes this ability.

Stop with the bleed and shock attackers and implement what you've already created.
These are effects sitting on the bench waiting to be put on characters. You're not running out of ideas kabam. YOU HAVE THE ELEMENTS YOU JUST NEED TO USE THEM.

Also who wants to bet the next time frostbite is used it's gonna be from a 5/5 defender like dark phoenix with unavoidable frostbite damage 🙃

There's also a couple nodes involving frostbite. I would expect that we will see more of it in the future as a result of her kit.

Misty also has frostbite, and in terms of coldsnap there's also elsa and Solvarch. The issue with ice based abilities is that is a lot harder to justify them unless the character is explicitly ice themed. Tons of characters have incinerate due to explosives or flame attacks but giving characters ice attacks is a little more complex.

There's also the fact that coldsnap is essentially as much utility as it is dot so its inherently stronger than most forms of dot on their own

You are right damn.

Seeing how they do a lot of lesser known characters… wait until Soft Serve comes in. I bet she'll have frostbite.

Different effects.

Coldsnap is a DOT effect that prevents evade and deals energy damage while active.
Frostbite is a effect that deal energy damage whene xpire

Other coldsnappers:

Aarkus
Enchantress

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Kate for coldsnap yet.

Greed_Exodus

also I’m pretty sure serpents sp1 counts as cold damage

Because op did

If we’re counting Frostbite as a DOT, then technically wouldn’t Whiplash be the rarest?

My mistake. I learned that it was a burst not an actual DOT effect.

My point still stands tho. We need champs with frostbite.

Thunderquack, Neurotoxin and Black ISO-8 are also unique.

NONYABIZZ

Thunderquack i think is unique to howard same way shbleed doboofs are unique to xpool. I don't think any other champ should be having those.

NeNeurotoxins on the other hand can be reintroduced on future champs. I could see someone like Elsa, toar or kraven Inflicting neurotoxins or even Diablo.
