[@anzyroadside2374]

I can't imagine that being the case. The Lord archetype can be weirdly divided into 2 categories. Those with Arts damage and those without. The four stars of the latter can't do DPS to heavy armored enemies while the remaining operator is SilverAsh. That means that the branches can hardly meet for the 6*.

I swear if they buff her with a Chill/Cold Effect, than I feel like she would get much better

[@zackyfaisalb9007]

@@Zack_Zander Honestly, even if she can, her value still depend on the manner she can inflict cold and how far she interact with said cold. (Aurora can deal insane damage to frozen enemies but unreliable to inflict it herself, Kjera's freeze is random but she is in a good subclass, and gnosis is gnosis) Also, module lvl 1 will always tie to the class's trait, so skipping straight to mod 2, she can only get ONE fancy upgrade specially tailored to herself. Mod 3 usually only add some numbers. The best i can think of is "Every attack inflict cold" so at least S2 have a pretty good niche to (almost) permafreeze a single target by herself.

[@Zack_Zander]

I have E2 Frostleaf and I really hope her module will let her inflict Cold and Freeze status ~ Inhale Hopium ~

[@chae7684]

E2 frostleaf enjoyer here. Though I rarely use her in high end content I have occasionally found her unique range and slowing skills useful from time to time usually in places where ranged tiles are at a premium and I need a budget slow supporter. Nothing major and pretty niche but it is rarely helpful. A good module upgrade could be adding the freezing status to her attacks when skill is active could make for some good synergies with other cold ops. Also anything to get better uptime on S2 would be good

[@zackyfaisalb9007]

She doesnt need other cold ops, her S2 would be an (almost) permafreeze to a single target for 25 seconds, lol. That is kinda busted for a 4star. But her S1 will gain nothing and all other cold ops can actually kill or at least deal a lot of damage the frozen enemies themselves so yeah, it should count as a good balance for her.

[@chae7684]

@@zackyfaisalb9007 dunno don't really use the cold ops just seemed like a cool upgrade since her skills are meant to be cold related in how they work anyway. S2 spamming out freezes might be a bit op but there are other op 4 stars like jay who can out dps some 6 stars not to mention it would be a hell of an investment to get her to that stage. Anyone with a high levelled e2 frostleaf has worked for that and definitely has other options. Dunno what point I'm trying to make with that just my thoughts on it tl:dr it would be cool though

[@zackyfaisalb9007]

@@chae7684 From what i can see (and read some discussion), gnosis is practically the only source of freeze cc. Its okay, i understand your sentiment. To keep it short, i also really wanted frostleaf to be good. Its clear HG tried to make her unique, range extension on E2, unique utility (melee slow and bind), and even a free and good skin !! To bad she was too early, a 4 star, and her experimental kit turns out to be broken(in a bad sense), and all of the fix they can give her are put into thorns instead. Honestly, i hope they give her "Every attack inflict 4 second cold" ala lappland on her mod2 so at least she can do some CC. Although her S2 will remain rather bad. 50sp skill with no initial sp for 25s duration of 0 atk boost and unreliable cc...

Please, please do abjurer class next, especially Tsukinogi. If you're wondering, yes I have her m6 maxed out.

In the earlier days of game - and I play from nearly release - I've got NOTHING in the Lords department. No SA, no Lappy. Only Frostleaf. Yeah, there was Midnight too, but he was not always helpful. So I cleared chapters from 2, I guess, to 5 with Frostleaf as my main "ranged guard". By the sheer virtue of that I am forever grateful to her and unironically gave her E2. She's been with me through the Spiderhell. She desevrvs THAT much.

[@pathalenvivaldi7811]

as someone who maxed her early on - mostly anyway - I must say good Sir, when you have too few range slots and only ground ones, her extended range helps pile her on when bullying enemies into submission by drowning them in operators. She helps support the quantity over quality of throwing enough of your minions at the problem until it dies! Silliness aside though, rooting down slow bosses and big elites is always nice. Hoping her module improves her CC, like she hits an additional enemy while skill is active. :D

I believe she had some niche back in the day. It was basically only 4 star lord (and the 5 star lord was Lappland and her kit also sucks) and had rare ability to bind enemies with long-lasting skill. She was never meant for DPS but stall packed with some block. Nowadays you can just use Arene, his arts dmg is very helpful and also hits two things at once! ...or you know. Thorns.

[@eha_nl]

Idk really because I haven't looked at all of them, but its definitely criminal that they gave that to her considering shes already terrible

[@Area_GnC]

her module can have this: i) Without any rng: Shift the enemies. If weight is 1, shift by 3 tiles. If weight is 2 or 3, shift by 2 tiles. Any higher weight will be shifted by 0.5 tiles. ii) With rng: Each attack will have a 30-40% chance of healing allies in the 8 surrounding tiles, (including summon, juggernaut, musha etc.) by either 3% of their max hp, or half the DEF of the target. Each attack will have a chance of decreasing the RES of the target. Each attack will bind the target instead of slowing. Personally, I don't use her. But, these changes may make her much more of a desirable operator.
