Freezing Gaze is a projectile spell that conjures 12 quickly vanishing projectiles in a fan formation which freezes specific liquids and non-immune enemies that are hit. Enemies will remain Frozen Frozen for 0.83 seconds (50 frames). These projectiles emit a dim greenish light that can be used to explore dark areas.

Tips

  • This spell combines very well with Homing to deal high damage, as each projectile deals Ice Damage10 for a maximum of Ice Damage120 if all hit one target.
  • Damage-adding modifiers like Heavy Shot, Damage Plus, Freeze Charge, or Electric Charge are applied to each individual projectile of the spell, meaning they are 12x more effective than when applied to single-projectile spells. With a single Heavy Shot modifier, if all of the projectiles hit you can deal 645 damage (Projectile Damage525+Ice Damage120).
  • Similar to Long-Distance Cast, Freezing Gaze creates penetrating projectiles that do not die upon collision with entities (or terrain), but can only hit (and deal damage to) each entity once.
    • This remains true even if you add Piercing Shot - each enemy can be hit only once by each of the 12 projectiles that it creates.
    • Damage Field, Plasma Beam Orbit, and other modifiers that deal damage indirectly can be use to avoid this restriction.

Multiple Projectiles

Some spells, including Freezing Gaze, produce several projectiles per cast. This property produces useful effects and synergies, and has some caveats to be aware of when used with other spells.

  • Modifiers that add damage will apply to all of the individual projectiles, multiplying their value.
  • The Arc modifier spells, particularly Electric Arc, work well since they are more effective when many projectiles are cast together.
  • Pattern angles set by Formation multicast and other spells can apply to each projectile individually.
  • Add Trigger will attempt to add a trigger to each individual projectile, using a separate payload for each one.
    • Some spells produce a different number of projectiles when combined with Add Trigger.

Pattern Angle

Casting this spell adds a pattern angle of ±30°, making the projectiles appear in a fan shape in front of you.
