Ice shot perks slow down enemies and deal damage per hit (like Zap shots, but unlike Fire and Poison which do damage over time)
| Ice Shots | Improved Ice Shots | |
|---|---|---|
| Damage per Hit | 5% of Loadout ATK | 40% of Loadout ATK |
| Slow-down time for Bosses | 1 second | 1.5 seconds |
| Slow-down for others | 2 seconds | 2.5 seconds |
| Immunity period (same for all) | 5 seconds | 3.5 seconds |
Few observations:
- Immunity does not prevent enemies from taking ice damage from subsequent hits, but the little snowflake animations will not appear
- The damage can go Critical (so even more helpful for Heroes with the Sniper skill or when using Critical Chance perk)
- Death Ice deals 1x Ice Shot damage to enemies in the blast zone (is not boosted if you also have Ice or Improved Ice perks)
- Ice shots are only useful for slowing down melee enemies (they don’t prevent ranged enemies from shooting, unlike Arctor’s Freeze shots) as they don’t do any significant damage; but Improved Ice is useful for all because it’s a sizeable damage bonus
