Hey! So this video is definitely much lighter in terms of editing and if you know me at all, you know that I don't like doing that but I am really REALLY gonna push myself to do a mix of the nicer stuff and easier stuff going forward. I can put out wayyyyy more content if I balance it out while still maintaining a high bar and giving yall more builds, etc. etc. Hope you enjoyed this regardless, thank you for watching. - kyaii ♥

[@coolwhoami]

Speaking as someone who has only seen this video by you and no others, your editing here was excellent and accomplished what was needed without being overly jazzy which is all I would want out of this, so at least for me, I liked it!

[@xDiji]

glad frost is finally getting more love, i was hoping his 2 would be reworked entirely and the scaling on his globe would become a bit stronger but this is totally acceptable for now. nice video!

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

The way ice wave impedance deals status procs now does make it worthwhile combined with biting frost. Most useful against factions without armor, it's economical, scales extremely well with range so definitely try it with a low strength build, and if you don't want 3 augment mods you can learn to use snow globe more dynamically or get the new arcane secondary fortifier.

[@doootheytho9821]

Main thing I’ve wanted for his 2 that would still be a great addition is to give it the ability to pop his snow globe from the outside like his 1 does. Other than that AND buffing his prime variant base energy pool to that of at least inaros primes, everything is looking good

[@daninaga9796]

Frost been getting nothing but love

[@walkelftexasranger]

@@cdgonepotatoes4219 One thing that really pisses me off is that some abilities don't proc Status even tho they should - Volt as example. Volt's 1st and 4th ability don't proc Electric status for whatever reason and it's really annoying. So the fact Frost now procs Cold makes that Frame 10x more fun.

[@kyaii]

yessir! hopefully we do by the end of this month

[@prisml2166]

This is the perfect build for frost I was looking for. Keep cooking

[@drscorpio1094]

Shard Recommendations as a frost main: 3 tau forged blue gives you 3 full casts, a freeze and a roar, and 2 tau forged yellow cause the 4 takes too long to cast. I personally prefer Zenoric for the free ability cast though, but that’s about all I use it for so I can definitely see the preference going to Madurai or Zenoric.

[@khaozcat]

[This is a bit of an ember rant on a frost video, i know] Frost was already insanely good, its kinda funny how they made this augment scale with his armor but ember's now only gains overguard when overhealing (which is already technically worse than frost had, since if enemies got past your shieldgate, and youre actively taking health damage one cast could just not grant you enough health to go into overguard, not likely but still possible), less overguard overall (25-50 vs frost's 60), AND does not scale with armor. And overall ember just feels bad to play because her 4 does literally nothing to higher level enemies unless you use heat inherit (which is now harder because she spreads weak heat procs around a lot with her abilities). So frost gets stuff that he didnt even honestly need and ember is just left out there despite getting "reworked". The current changes to ember only really helped with energy economy but did not address bigger issues with her abilities, which if you're a veteran you would just have had nourish on her anyway so you barely notice. All i can think of for her 4 to be good is to give it similar properties to saryn's spores, where with each tick of damage it adds more heat procs onto the burning enemy. Also not a fan of her strength passive, because the enemies should not be on fire around ember, they should be dead. So if you take ember into a mission where she actually kills enemies, you dont even really benefit. I think they need to rework this and other passives that work like it into the same system as duviri decrees where you get armor for each corrosive proc for x seconds, which would work nicely even if you kill enemies, you just have to apply heat. So, basically, ember needs her 4th buffed in some substantial way, since casting it actually slows your time to kill vs using literally any decent weapon. Her 2 and 3 are fine at best, armor strip does have some value but it is way too easy to get it in other ways, and damage reduction on yourself is always good. Her 1st ability is a literal joke and needs either a huge number tweak or to be replaced entirely... even the augment sucks since you can just use thermal transfer instead (on any frame mind you since it's helminth). They could really do something more than even tweaking the numbers with her because she gets a lot of heat procs that she doesnt get to do much with. Maybe she could detonate them, heal the entire team from enemies on fire, something more interesting than just spreading weak heat procs around enemies and calling it a day.

[@nickb2428]

Frost has been my go-to for years, very interesting to see how other people mod him. I go full range + efficiency with precision intensify, as long as you're fully armor stripping, thats all the strength I feel like you need. More enemies hit by avalanche, the better, i can just spam cast to build overguard and prime for damage

[@fr_z_n3727]

Frost main too. Kinda sad to see ppl running nourish/blind rage on frost but they do them. I also go precision intensify and reach for 100% cap and no more. Smart move

[@-boomer]

For energy, try running Health Conversion and Arcane Battery instead of Equilibrium and Arcane Energized. It's easier to get and more consistent. As long as youre freezing things, which is always, youll have up to 700 max energy. And Health Conversion gives you more armor which scales up the amount of overshield you'll get from your 4.

[@giggitygooquag]

Full umbra, battery augment plus storm augment and 2 red taus feels the best way to play him right now for me, if I don't upkeep his storm enough it doesn't matter cause I'm still at base 90% something strip before storm procs

[@johngianola8835]

What the build??? I wana try it

[@Venkullix]

i have not used or even thought about frost since i first started playing warframe on my ps4 back in like 2014-2015(god i do not miss trying to play this game with a controller) but uh i just found out about him getting a rework and came to the first video i saw about it and damn guess i've gotta put him on the list of frames i need to get

[@Lyvarious]

I've got my Frost running a Ignis Wraith with blast element and a hybrid crit/status build. It's not meta but I find it hilarious to just stay alive while buffing my dps with more cold from the 1 augment and building a higher ability strength whenever i freeze anything.

[@Infinity_MC]

So that’s why I’ve been getting way more overguard after the update Also breach surge is a good helminth with the biting frost augment, automatic red crits with the sparks

[@kyaii]

Another cool build! I thought about using that instead but considering some other people just covered that, thought I'd go for something else.

[@FrostyIl]

So what would be the proper progenitor to have on flax ion for this particular frost build? Also amazing vid goat!

[@kyaii]

Heat

[@gumm7558]

​@@kyaiiwith the wacky blast build it might be worth using thermal sunder and replacing biting frost with thermals augment (the 200% cc only brings glaxion to 100 exact so you only lose cd) its an extra 75% heat/cold that scales with strength

[@depedro91]

my guess is the change bane of corrupted to bane of orokin, to resolve searching this mod by tag 'corrupted' since you have corrupted mods as a specific group of mods

[@corbtv]

how could you forget diriga with cold gun and shivering contagion? panzer is nothing compared to how good diriga freezes everything around you.

[@kyaii]

That is a good idea!

[@LeMajesticJames]

I would swap Equilibrium with Archon Flow, frost abilities grants a chance for Energy to spawn so it can do a chain reaction with Energize, better combo imo

[@kyaii]

Nah it absolutely isnt. Archon Flow is bad for a few reasons. 1. The ability actually needs to kill and none of Frosts kit are doing that. 2. It only drops a 50 energy orb. Every Equilibrium orb will be 55+ energy. 3. It has a 10 second cool down on activation (which you will never actually do)

[@Killa_Mattic]

I can't remember, does icy avalanche also over guard pets? Your own as well as companions like Styanax aug mod? Im at work so I can't test it.

[@noahedenborg4221]

the purple health overshiled prob from augar set mods the whire health overguard from his 4 augment

[@WDubois]

swap merciless for primary frostbite and vital sense for a serration? just gives the 90% multi shot perk of P frostbite

[@dragariz506]

I kinda don't get they gave him a new and better passive but als didnt buff frost prime's energy pool

[@DawnAfternoon]

frost literally cannot stop winning for one goddamn update

[@rinz5027]

Wouldn't you be able to do the same by using Ice wave instead? and the range is much more vs 1st ability no? Also, it kinda works naturally with him as before you get into the thick of enemies, you ice wave first then jump in and avalanche in the center. Since, the passive just looks for cold procs in the enemies i think its better that way.

[@kyaii]

Ice Wave is more expensive and does more or less the exact same thing for a longer cast time that is more restricted in area (not radial) and energy intensive.

[@rinz5027]

@@kyaii Fair enough, didn't really had an issue myself but I use pretty much the same build as yours on my frost, granted I went all in on fixing Energy economy while having as much str as possible and one mod for duration only.

[@Widur42]

Stacking strength on frost is so pointless. You just need enough strength on his 4 to full armor strip and then as much range as possible (especially since no line of sight is needed). Increasing the damage of his abilities is pointless since you play him as a weapons platform. You need good duration, max range, decent efficiency (definitely not negative) and thats it. Going for max strength makes his built way to inconventient to play.
