[JaycemeSwain]

Health: 100  (300 at rank 30)
Armour: 200
Energy: 100 (250 at rank 30)
Shield: 125 (300 at rank 30)
Sprint Speed: 1.05

Design: Regal Queen, think Killer Frost from DC comics with a dash of the Ice Queen from the original story by Hans Christian Anderson & Jadis from C.S. Lewis' Narnia

Passive - Frozen enemies near Ice Queen(radius of 15m{affected by ability range mods}) get affected by status normally(would make Frozen work similar to enemies affected by Limbo's Stasis). Ice Queen gets a 5% speed boost from getting a cold proc

Ability 1:"Ice Lance" - Ice Queen creates an Ice lance and swipes it in a reverse cone 5/ 6 /8 / 10 meters infront of her, dealing 200 / 225 / 250 / 300 base damage.(Affected by range, Strength & Melee mods[including rivens]) Energy Cost: 25

Ability 2:"Cold Rally" - Ice Queen gives a small bounty of healing to her allies and herself(5/10/15/25% of their max health) as well as giving them a 20% / 25% / 45% / 65% Damage reduction for 12 / 14 / 16 / 20s. Energy Cost: 50

Ability 3:"Frozen Carpet" - Ice Queen unfurls forth a claw of ice that moves 5/10/15/20 metres forward in a line, dealing 300 / 450 / 550 / 650 damage to all enemies it passes through. Reactivating the ability consumes the claw and blinks Ice Queen to its current location. (ability can't be cast while airborne) [Potentional Augment "Wave of the Queen" - Ice Queen can recast the ability to change the direction shortly after she moves location. Caps at 3 recasts] Energy Cost: 70

Ability 4:"Queen's Gaze"- Ice Queen Bellows all the enemies infront of her and freezes enemies over a duration of 6/8/9/10 seconds within a cone in front of her within 9 / 11 / 13 / 15 metres. Energy Cost : 100

Thematically too similar to frost, plus her 1 and 3 sound like frost's 1 and 2. Gonna need to be more original than this.

Her 3 is actually meant to be like Lissandra's E ability in League(being a movement ability and damage ability) and her 1 is more like Gara or Khora's one(as the damage is sorta going through a bunch of enemies). Ice Queen's 1 affects multiple targets near her and doesn't freeze them, so not like frost. And Thematically is meant to be similar to frost. We have Harrow & Khora(BDSM) and Oberon & Titania(Nature) fitting a theme that is way too similar to each other. Ice Queen is meant to be synergistic but also be able to work without frost. Ice Queen's 4 is meant to be a bigger Atlas 3 but freezing instead of turning to stone. Please tell me how an ability that would work like Gara's 1 but instead damage more enemies closer to Ice Queen than further away is like Frost's 1, which targets a small circle and freezes them.

I think somethings that would make this cooler is if the abilities had a little more uniqueness too them. Like an ability that causes enemies to slide across a layer of ice, dealing damage if they hit a wall. Or an ability that summons ice spikes in the air and causes them to rain down causing cold and slash procs. Enemies killed in by the ice spikes break into a lot of pieces helpful for nekro's descrate ability

You know? Just things that people can only enjoy from this frame

Basically summon ice weapons that you can use instead of a typical exalted weapon? That can change type to sword, hammer, daggers, or staff similar to ivara and vauban switching abilities. 

Maybe create a field of heavy snowy wind that slows down the enemies movement and reduce their accuracy due to being cold? 

Maybe give her an ice dash and that can be held for long, fast traveling while freezing enemies in her path? And you can move up or down, left or right, similar to flying in an arch wing?

Maybe she can just freeze their guns and make them useless for a while? Energy guns or machines could blow up?

Maybe her passive could leave an ice trail where ever she runs and enemies could slip and slide when they step in it? And cold temperatures don’t affect her? Like ice floors and barrels don’t slow her down, and cold climates don’t affect her shields?

Maybe the same ability to freeze enemy weapons cold also apply increased cold status to teammates? Maybe as an augment mod?

Summon snow minions or wendigos that hunt down nearby enemies and when destroyed they explode and freeze nearby enemies?

She could come with some kind of ice shooter guns?

I could keep going but I think I said enough. Frost is all about simply freezing his enemies, while Frostette here could actually manipulate snow in creative, artistic sort of ways. It would be nice. While Forst is the sort of defense iceframe, this one could be a more offensive iceframe. Definitely could be a great duo.

Yes, im not saying this frame is EXACTLY like frost, im just saying her you can already get a good feel for all of this warframe's abilities using warframes already in game. This warframe needs at least 1 ability no other frame offers to be really "cool".

If all warframes came out with abilities that basically did the same things as other warframes its less fun to use, they need to all have something that is incomparable to another. Like nekros has a massive resource drop boost range, frost has a globe, trinity can bless all allies, mirage can create copies of herself, chroma has a deployable sentry

 

They all have something unique

That’s usually what I try to aim for but it get harder the more warframes that come out. Whether it’s the element or the way of using it. The resonating quake for example is a lot like how volt does discharge now. Both create a wave that expands and damages enemies. Or like how volt, Frost, and ember have the same first ability and augment mod. 

I usually aim for something unique but it always gets shot down by somebody because of one similarity. Gara, Frost, and vauban all create a barrier. Even though they are different and are used differently, it won’t stop narrow minded players from comparing the 3. 

DE hasn’t created a pyrokinesis. But that won’t stop someone from comparing it to ember who just shoots or creates fire. Think of marvel for example. There’s the human torch and then there’s pyro. Both invlolve fire but one creates while the other manipulates. 

Other than ice dashing across the map and freezing those in her path, I don’t know what other unique ability this Ice Queen could possibly have. Would be a fun way to travel and since DE is talking about making some kind of hover board thing in the Venus open world, this ability would come in handy. Similar to zephyr in the PoE.
