When to buy & tricks

The big-money upgrade of Cold Front: tap the active to send out an expanding ice ring that deals Spirit damage, freezes everyone it catches in place, then slows them with their stamina regen locked so they can't dash away. It's a self-centered lockdown — buy it to open a fight on a clumped enemy or to freeze divers off you at point-blank.

Tricks

Unlike Cold Front's plain slow, Arctic Blast is a hard lock: the freeze roots targets where they stand, and the slow that follows keeps their stamina regen frozen, so they can't burn a dash to escape your kill window. Pop it on a grouped enemy right before your team commits — the freeze is the setup, the gunfire and your own combo are the follow-up. Because the ring expands outward from you, it also doubles as panic peel: when someone dives you, blast at point-blank and they're frozen on top of you instead of finishing the kill.

It's centered on you, not aimed — to catch a clump you have to be in the middle of it, so dash in (or bait a dive) before you pop it.
The frozen stamina regen is the real edge over Cold Front: chain your team's burst during the slow, because they can't dash out of it.
