Frostbite | Elden Ring Wiki

Hey, the Dragon Halberd`s skill also inflicts Frostbite, but isnt included on this list.

Submit

It doesn't mention if it stacks with defense shred debuffs like Greyoll's roar?

Submit

does resetting via fire remove the debuffs?

Submit

Hmmm I might be blind but why isn’t there any talismans or spells/incantations or even armor that boost frost in anyway

Submit

Poor man's bleed just use rivers of blood

Submit

Morbigot's Cursed Sword isn't listed here

Submit

missing ruinous ghostflame

Submit

and Ranni's Dark Moon ?

Submit

NOOOO YOU CANT POWERSTANCE MOONLIGHT GREATSWORDS FOR FROST ITS MUCH WORSE THEN BLEED AND IS MUCH SLOWER THEN KATANAS!!

hehe glowing greatsword shoot funny beam

Submit

Does anyone know what the formula would like like for hits landed on a boss white frostbite status is active?

It's saying -20%, but not sure how to calculate that for a boss.

For Malenia, she has a Physical damage absorption of 10 across the board, so while Frostbite is active would that become -10?

Submit

Troll Knight Sword isn't listed.

Submit

Explosive Ghostflame and maybe some other ghostflame/death sorcery stuff is missing. Fallen Hawk spirit ashes also do frostbite with their ghostflame attacks.

Submit

There's a weird bug with the frostbite status effect which causes dead ragdolls to emit the frostbite partical and sound effects the next time you walk through them after they have died. After playing with a cold build for a while you'll get used to it, but the first few times it happens it'll jumpscare you into the next room.

Submit

Where is Helphen's Steeple and It's unique Ash of War?

Submit

It also slows an enemy for a duration. Not sure how long, and not sure if it's all enemies.

Submit

I wonder how effective it would be to duel wield this with a cold longsword. That way you can proc frostbite and reset it with this sword.

With cold weapons normally scaling off int it would probably be better to focus more on int then faith. Since this weapon scales off both int/fai it should be better than a regular fire weapon that usually scales off mostly faith.

You could also use cold incantations using the golden order seal to cast dragonice or frozen lightning spear to help with proc frostbite.

Submit

you forgot the steeple weapon art.

Submit

I think the reason that frostbite works better than bleed, from a balance standpoint, is that it can't be repeatedly procced. It's a debuff, and even though it can be one hit procced, it cant be done repeatedly.

Submit

wish the infusion didnt make your weapon split damage

Submit

no frost curved sword :(

Submit

Can int or arc increase the build up of frostbite?

Submit

Why is the royal greatsword not there? The ash of war does frost damage.

Submit

How would one make a frost&fire build triggering frostbite, resetting with fire, and reapplying rinse and repeat?

Because frost is mostly int (except those ice lightning stuff) and fire is mostly fth (unless you go fire infused str scaling instead, which is nowhere as efficient as heavy infusion)

1. Make a full int/frost build, but just add 19 fth for fire's deadly sin which constantly applies fire damage (or a step further 25 fth for golden vow)

2. Likewise mostly int/frost but get 12 fth 10 arc for bloodflame blade, that adds fire dam to weap.

3. Str/int build with 1 weapon having innate frost or cold infused, and the other weapon fire infused.

4. Just make a fth build accepting a totally ruined scaling weap for the greater good of granting it frost buildup and go ham. Erdsteel dagger is the only infusable innate fth scaling weap an lt also attacks fast so maybe that?

5. Dex/Arc with rivers of blood / eleonora's poleblade in right hand, and keen infused chilling mist AoW uchigitana/nagakiba/godskin peeler in left hand.

6. A few of the innate frost weaps don't rely on int to scale so one of those, dual wield with whatev build adding fire dam howev you want?

7. Okay I'm outta ideas, if anyone has a better idea please comment.

Submit

Does the frostbite on cold weapons scale with int?

Submit

So wait, I can get two weapons with bleed, get frost affinity on one, fire on second one and build up frost and bleed constantly, and frost wouldn't have cooldown because fire damage removes debuff? I'm gonna go test this **** now. xD

Submit

You can apply this on someone as they are in dying animation for that extra cold disrespect.

Submit

This makes me wonder why there's no burn status effect in this game.

Submit

im using a dex/int build with dual cold uchigatanas (weeb garbage ik) to have the damage increase for frost and a small bleed buildup as a bonus, thought i'd share if someone wants to try something similar and also to get any tips you guys might have

Submit

Did some testing with bloodloss and frostbite on the omens in the subterranean shunning grounds, each hit with an uchigatana did 346 damage and 1435 with bloodloss. Meaning the bloodloss did 1089 damage (1435-346=1089).

I then applied frostbite and each uchigatana hit now did 415 damage. Bloodloss + hit damage with frostbite applied ended up doing 1505 damage. This means that the frostbite debuff does not affect the damage of bloodloss itself.
As 346*1.2 (uchigatana damage) + 1089 (bloodloss) = 1504.2

Submit

i wish this was like the other status effect infusions instead of giving split damage

Submit

Dual Scavenger Curved Sword, passive bleed infuse it with frost. Amazing.

Submit

bleed + frost= DEATH TO EVERY THING.

Submit

If you are a mage, pick this one rather than magic infusion, the debuff alone is worth it.

Submit

Spark aromatic removes frostbite too in case you don't want to swap weapons. Pretty nice on big enemies up close and scales with dex

Submit

frostbite dont boost poison tick damage

Submit

As a psa, its generally better to maintain your 20% dmg increase. If youre gonna pop it prematurely to try to chain it, youre better off using bleed. Or popping it with something huge like giants flame take thee

Submit

Black flame is great for undoing frostbite, thanks to lingering fire, allowing for swift reapplication.

Submit

Someone needs to add dragonice, borealis mist, and frozen lightning spear

Submit

Does rivers of blood remove frostbite sense it does fire damage?

Submit

Does the Dragon Cult Incantation “Frozen Lightning Strike” not inflict Frostbite?

Submit

Looks like frostbite does ~10% max hp damage on proc, with it being unable to build up again until the damage absorption debuff wears off. Seems like dealing fire damage will remove the debuff prematurely and allow frost to begin stacking again

Submit

It's a shame there's no non-unique frostbite-native weapons; I love comboing Frostbite into Hæmorrhage with the Black Whetblade, burst damage and dmg vulnerability into another burst damage, *chef's kiss*

Submit

Testing on greyoll this does exactly 10% +100 extra damage

Submit

Does fire damage reset frost buildup, or only the frostbite status effect once it has been triggered?

Submit

Try this: put raptor claws (hoarfrost ash) into R hand and normal claws (any flame ash) with left hand. DONT dual wield either. Strategy: use hoarfrost (L2) from distance, rush and jump attack with L1 and then ONLY use L1 until victim has perished. Reasoning: For some reason, L1 with two different claw types will actually use both with L1 combos. R1 will end up only using the R hand armament. Also, L1 when airborn uses a downward heavy strike with both (much like R2 normally). Finally, by using both frost and flame, the frost will proc very quickly (especially with hoarfrost) and then will immediately be undone with the flame claws that you are combo-ing with and will thus allow you to re-proc the frost for additional damage, all while dealing double bleed damage. Watch the health bars melt away!

Submit

Utterly insane when combined with hæmorrhage; freeze to deal a chunk of DMG, lower their stamina and thus attack rate/block ability, followed by hæmorrhage buildup that deals 20% extra DMG due to the prior frostbite... nutty on the Spiked Palisade with another Bleed weapon

Submit

What's the duration of the frostbite debuff?

Submit

When playing with two other co-opers is it better damage-wise to remove frost status with fire to proc again or leave the status on so all three have a +20% to damage?

Submit

I should leave this here: The "Frozen Lightning Spear" also deals frostbite, cam confirm since I tested on both Agheel and the Glintstone Dragon in Liurnia, both got afflicted with it.

Submit

Freezing grease should be added to the list.

Submit

Does the build up or the damage scale with anything? I know if it's added with an ash of war it adds int scaling to the weapon, but does this just counts as the magic damage or also the frost proc/build up?

Submit

I swear I move a bit slower when I'm frostbitten too..

Submit

do we know how much damage simply proccing it does & what determines it?

Submit

The Chad Frost User vs the Virigin Bleed User

Submit

So I know Frostbite can be cured by fire damage, and can even reset the frostbite buildup. But I was wondering, do the blackflame incantations also reset the frostbite buildup?

Submit

Frostbite,
Engine

Submit

so it seems like this ain't clear, nor properly discribed in this wiki.
I did some testing; frostbite works as follows.
additively stacks up (like every other status effect) -> procs (deals only damage ONCE; 2.5x the normal damage) -> continues to affact target by lowering its fp regen

there is no bonus +dmg% for any frost based damage after the initial damage proc! I tested it.
so actually it's like a weaker bleed + a stermina debuff for some time, after the initial proc

Submit

FYI the dragon halbert does applies a frostbite status effect when using the ash of war

Submit

There's a detail that seems to be missing (or may just not be significant for people): When applying frostbite, it applies the condition and THEN applies the damage, giving you the full damage bonus right out the gate.

Submit

For anyone curious, from my testing, fire damage does NOT remove the build-up of Frostbite, only the proc itself.

Submit

I'm a dex/int build what would be a good innate frost weapon or weapons that is good for frost

Submit

Got question about pure physical STR builds, melee only. Think of using golden vow + hoarfrost stomp. And hoarfrost stomp i want to use only to apply Frostbite, to boost my autoattacks by 20%. From what i understand, Hoarfrost stomp basically guarantees frostbite effect on bosses?

Submit

Frost scales with intelligence, but besides the frost damage increase, does anyone know if the frostbite buildup is also increased?

Submit

Which type of damage does frostbite do? Magic or physical?

Submit

I think its worth mentioning that frostbite can be reset with fire damage as far as i'm aware. You can then reapply the burst but you lose the damage resistance debuff on them.

Submit

does frost buildup reset if hit with fire or does it only happen when frost has already taken effect?

Submit

Blaidd's greatsword's weapon art applies frostbite

Submit

Any weapons with innate frostbite that can be infused with ashes of war? I know there are more frost weapons than what is in this list

Submit

Since bleed scales with arcane does frost also scale with arcane or is it a different stat?

Submit

Does blood flame clear frostbite status the same way that fire does?

Submit

Does blood flame clear frostbite status the same way that fire does?

Submit

Will blood flame get rid of frostbite like fire does?

Submit

Don’t forget to add, “death’s poker”

Submit

Does fire attacks get rid of frostbite buildup or just the effect after triggered?

Submit

death poker is another weapon that causes frostbite build up. ( 65)

Submit

bleeds takes more build up after each bleed. If 2 hit bleed an ennemy the second might take 3 hits and the third one 6 hits. Is it the same for frost or is the proc consistent ?

Submit

For those wondering about percentage damage, I tested a frost proc vs bleed proc on greyoll, because of its massive health bar and being stationary target.

When hemmorage triggered, damage was over 14k
When frostbite triggered, damage was over 9k

Tested on NG+, so bonus health than NG.

With these numbers, I believe hemmorage does 15% max health damage and frostbite does 10% max health damage in addition to reducing damage resistance and lowering stamina regeneration.

Submit

small typo: ''Frostbite is effective against most knights and enemies, that still has flesh.''

Submit

Does frostbite just lower damage resistances or does it lower status resists as well

Submit

Did some testing, the defense reduction debuff lasts around 30 seconds, and is automatically consumed by fire damage. Other spells and forms of damage did not consume it.

Submit

How much damage does it do and does it scale with any stat?

Submit

Do you do more Bleed damage if you proc Frost 1st? Use a Frost weapon and then cast 'Swarm of Flies' for Hemorrhage Bleed?

Submit

Does Arcane help prock frostbite faster or just bleed and poison?

Submit

Playing as a sorcerer... enchanting my longsword for melee damage option. Is Frostbite enchant better than Magic enchant?

Submit

so I ran a few test with the frozen needle and I found that I would deal 133 damage before frostbite kicked-in and while frostbitten was up I dealt 160 damge, 160/133 gives us the increase wich is a buff of 20% for physical damage

Submit

The dragonkin soldier of nokstella dropped me a frozen lightning spear, can't use it yet but I'm assuming it builds up frostbite too

Submit

Isn't frostbite cured by fire?
I was farming some boss the other day, and every time frostbite was triggered one of the mates used some fire spell. Doing so, the mob stopped to have ice particles and I was able to proc it back quickly.
Was that a bug, a feature or just a figment of my imagination?

Submit

does anyone know if the frostbite debuff can be cleared with fire like in ds3? i remember having to use a firepot to reset the frostbite but with things like fire's deadly sin, i was hoping to just use a double frost/bleed dagger build and autoreset the frostbite proc with the aoe fire damage

Submit

So the higher armor you have, the less punishing the armor negation is, but not by much as you can see. The formula we came up with (my friend in particular, I can't math good) was: y=1.2x-20 Some more can be looked into this but this is what we got. stats that helps us get this formula: https://imgur.com/a/HmQbZcC

Submit

Running some numbers with some friends, with no armor on the armor negated was -20 on all stats, flat. including magic, fire, lightning, and holy. The only stats that weren't affected were resistance.

When they had armor on that scaled as such:
Before Frostbite | After Frostbite | Reduced By
Physical 30.602 | 16.723 | 13.879
VS Strike 25.266 | 10.319 | 14.947
VS Slash 31.025 | 17.23 | 13.795
VS Pierce 28.802 | 14.562 | 14.24
Magic 23.501 | 8.201 | 15.3
Fire 24.537 | 9.445 | 15.092
Lightning 21.842 | 6.211 | 15.631
Holy 23.236 | 7.883 | 15.353

So the higher armor you have, the less punishing the armor negation is, but not by much as you can see.

The formula we came up with (my friend in particular, I can't math good) was: y=1.2x-20

Some more can be looked into this but this is what we got.

Submit

my 135 dmg rapier hit goes to 162 on a boss. that's 20% dmg increase. maybe 20% dmg increase on bosses for duration of frostbite? seems like it lasts about 30sec or so and can't proc again (with the dmg portion) until its timed out on bosses. could be wrong on that tho

Submit

will levelling inteligence increase frostbite build up per hit, or does that just effect the regular damage of a weapon? would arcane work in that case?

Submit

How much does it lower enemy absorption?

Submit

last updated nov 2021? how are these not populated yet...

Submit

Icerind Axe is great for accumulating frostbite on foes with the Hoarfrost Stomp. I'd say it's better than bleed because it does percentage damage when built up as well as weakens their stamina recovery.

Submit

Does Bleed do more damage on enemies afflicted by frostbite?

Submit

The slower the weapon the more frostbite per hit is added.

Submit

Soooo…does arcane increase the buildup, int, or neither and it’s fixed? Anyone know? I know arcane effects bleed build up, was wondering about other status effects
