Key Mechanics

It functions as a utility/DoT trap that throws a device applying debilitating cold damage over time (DoT) beams to nearby enemies.

  • Targeting: It attaches to a high number of nearby enemies (up to 15, per early reports).
  • Effect: The beams chill enemies and deal cold damage over time.
  • Utility: It provides significant life and mana regeneration for each beam connected to an enemy.
  • Performance: It is considered a strong defensive utility tool for recovery, especially in league starters or challenging content, rather than a primary clear skill.
  • Damage/Usage: It is often paired with other DoT or cold builds (like Righteous Fire or Cold Snap traps) to increase damage and survivability.

Build Guides 3.28

  • Scaling: Works best with increases to Trap/Mine damage, Damage over Time, Cold Damage over Time Multiplier, and Skill Effect Duration.
  • Synergy: Excellent for Saboteur or Occultist for survivability.
  • Usage: It provides, at low investment, over 1k extra HP and 60+ mana regeneration for 3+ seconds, making it ideal for bossing or tough map scenarios.
