Does Multiple Frost Snow Globes Stack the Slow Effect?

[EpicdudeX]

I remember this one time when I was playing with another Frost and I had a bigger Snow Globe than him. (range wise)

Then I was curious if the slow effect would stack.

no. the Slow Effect of Snowglobe is a binary situation, Enemy is either affected by Snowglobe, or it is not. nice and simple. :)

Nope

Ok thanks for the quick reply

Stacks strength of bubble but not the slow effect.

Best to do 3 x bubbles.

Have fun and may RNG be forever in your favor.

Stacking was removed a long time ago for the globes.

well you can stack snowglobes, but all it does is increase it's health up to 1million iirc

if both users had the chilling globe augment on then would kinda work like that as they would get slowed by the first bubble an then once they enter the 2nd after the affect from the first stops on them 😄 they get affected again

Where does this come from? Why do so many players spread this misinformation?

You must be new to the internet. Have you meet my diamond flying unicorn?

i know, its like a much needed wiki does not exist?

Quote

Snow Globe can be recast multiple times, but there are restrictions on the number of globes that can be created in the environment.

• A maximum of 4 separate Snow Globes can be cast at any given time. Casting Snow Globe after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest globe.
• Casting Snow Globe while inside an existing globe will remove the older globe and combine the total remaining health values of both globes for the newer one. The invulnerability period is reactivated for each cast.
  • Snow Globes created inside existing globes do not count toward the maximum number of instances, and Snow Globe's health can stack with repeated casts until reaching a maximum combined health of 1,000,000.

What he meant by stacking was actual stacking where you can create an endless amount of globes which was a loooong time ago, now its just the globe will replace the previous globe and combine the hp if its in the same area.

So is your issue the word "stack" versus the word "recast"?

You will also note that one of the other replies uses the word "health" rather than "strength".

Hopefully you have read the other replies to the OP and have learnt something.

Have fun and may RNG be forever in your favor.

Ok, I will clear some things up since I've seen the other comments.

I know the wikia (I use it all the time) and I know that Snow Globes will increase the health of other globes if you recast within them.

Now my question was about the slow effect of the Snow Globes.

If, for example, I was a Frost and I was playing with another friend who was also playing as a Frost, and we both used Snow Globe, if we had overlapping Globes, would the slow effect stack? (Within the overlapping part)

EDIT: I'm just going to make this more clear (since I just looked at my reply and it's not too clear)

So I know Snow Globes will increase the health of another Globe if you recast within it.

Now the question I'm asking is about the slow effect.

If  there were Snow Globes that just overlapped, (whether because of distance or because they belong to different players) would the slow effect stack?

Never seen Frosts double stack since efficiency says to split globe locations to conserve energy.

I'd take this to the simulacrum (energy pads are endless and don't get spent) and test this out.

 

Update us with the results please.

[EpicdudeX]

The reason why I thought of this was because I remember a while back when I was playing with another Frost on a Mobile Defense Fissure and I had a larger Globe than him.

I Globed over his (as a health buffer) and then wondered if the slow effect would stack.

This would probably only work with two players and different ranges for each Frost, and I also don't have time today for it.

So if anyone sees this, please test this out for me.

Just remember that your 1st ability will break them, and don't go crazy with them globes. Octavia will thank you.

[EpicdudeX]

I'll say this (so this thread doesn't get too cluttered)

Thanks for all of the tips, but I know how to Frost XD

[EpicdudeX]

Alright, that was the answer I was looking for.

Thank you!
