AlfredAntonio Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Guys, I just got the new augment mod for Frost's second ability which is Ice Wave Impedance. It leaves a trail of ice that slows enemies down. However, I'm wondering if the slow would be combined if the enemy is inside Snow Globe (Frost's third ability) + is in contact with Ice Wave Impedance's trail. Any ideas?

RobWasHere Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yes, it stacks, but remember that trail is affected by duration. This aug opens for builds with complete CC - max the range, add some duration and efficiency then spam wave and avalanche to complete freeze enemies in place.

motorfirebox Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It stacks, but there's a ceiling on how much you can slow an enemy. I think it caps at 75% or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaZeku Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ice Wave Impedance is fun, but personally, I prefer to focus on (Icy) Avalanche. Because, hey, why slow down when you can freeze them entirely? :P Max Range & Efficiency (plus Zenurik) means you can keep entire rooms frozen (and also just wreck the whole tile in Fissures with the Warframe corruption buff), while the Augment grants your whole Squad a not-insignificant layer of Iron Skin, woot.

(PSN)NoVa_Erk Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 i prefer the ice wave impedance. it stacks the slowing speed of the standard ice wave. you can see it in the simulacrum. if you go without and with ice wave impedance. it automatically stacks the slow effect without in bubble. and if you do within snow globe it stacks again little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stack multiple sources of slow you can basically lock down an enemy as hard as Rhino's Stomp does. IE the combo of Snow Globe, Ice Wave and augment gets to slow enemies by 96.3% On 23/6/2017 at 4:28 PM, NinjaZeku said: Ice Wave Impedance is fun, but personally, I prefer to focus on (Icy) Avalanche.

Though you can use it smartly by knocking down people, bleeding them with a melee weapon, and freeze them when the knockdown makes them unalerted. It's a very effective trick with Frost.

(PSN)NoVa_Erk Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 sometimes i prefer to bubble a whole room to go melee from bubble to bubble. sometimes teammates are conform with it and go melee too. but the most time they dont like it xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
