Notes[edit]

  • The effect has a 0.5 seconds cooldown.
  • Phaser Icon.png Phaser is extremely powerful with this mutation, as it essentially allows for infinite use of the item.
  • It is also very effective with items that rely on rooting/stunning/freezing for critical hits, such as the Nutcracker Icon.png Nutcracker or the Repeater Crossbow Icon.png Repeater Crossbow, as it can allow for rapid skill cooldown reduction and open up many powerful combat options.
  • This mutation pairs well with Melee Mutation Icon.png Melee and a fast swing rate melee weapon like Cursed Sword Icon.png Cursed Sword because you are constantly hitting a slowed target.
  • Attacking with the Heavy Crossbow Icon.png Heavy Crossbow does not trigger this mutation, as the enemy is only rooted for a short time before the attack itself hits.

History[edit]

  • 1.6: Introduced.
  • 2.1: No longer works with slowed enemies.
    • Now works with ranged weapons at close range.
    • Note: It is unknown since when Heart of Ice worked on slowed enemies again.
  • 2.4: Base cooldown reduction decreased from 1 second to 0.6.
    • Cooldown reduction cap decreased from 3 seconds to 2.
  • 3.4: Cooldown reduction per Survival stat decreased from 0.105 seconds to 0.06.

Footnotes[edit]

  1. In-game description is incorrect. Although it doesn't say it, this mutation works on slowed targets as well.
