Synergies [ edit ]
Heart of Ice can be used with Piercing Shot to lower cooldowns of your skills while dealing damage with the crossbow.
Kill Rhythm suits the weapon's playstyle since it alternates weapon slots to deal damage.
Before v1.9 , the Update of Plenty , the Ice Crossbow was a single slot weapon.
It also used to have a secondary fire shooting multiple bolts in a shotgun-type pattern by holding down the attack button, similarly to Flint .
The Piercing Shot can roll the affix "+175% damage on a frozen target".
