| Category | AOE Freeze / CC |
| Tier | S |
Rating
Blizzard is an S-tier evolved ball that fires a large radius freeze burst on landing. Unlike standard Freeze balls that lock down a single target, Blizzard catches every enemy within its radius at once — multiple enemies, boss + minions, entire rushing waves — and immobilizes them simultaneously.
This is one of the strongest crowd-control tools in the game. A well-timed Blizzard can stop an entire wave cold, after which every other ball you fire lands on completely stationary targets. The combo ceiling is enormous when paired with burst-damage setups.
The key skill is timing the shot to land when the most enemies are within the radius. Against scattered enemies the payoff is limited, but against groups and boss encounters Blizzard's area advantage is decisive.
Best Characters
| Character | Synergy | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Burst-combo builds | S | AOE freeze creates free damage windows on all enemies at once |
| Defensive / survival builds | S | Full-group freezes stop rushes dead — excellent safety tool |
| High-fire-rate builds | A | Repeated Blizzard placements cycle enemy freeze, maintaining control |
Recommended Passives
| Passive | Synergy |
|---|---|
| Freeze duration up | More time to punish all frozen enemies |
| Freeze damage boost | Increased damage to frozen targets amplifies total combo DPS |
| AOE radius increase | Wider freeze zone catches more enemies per throw |
| Landing damage up | Boosts the initial damage burst on impact |
| Follow-up CC | Slow or stun on freeze expiry keeps enemies controlled after thaw |
Tips
- Wait for enemy clustering — the more enemies in radius when Blizzard lands, the better the investment per throw
- Immediately follow up — fire all other balls during the freeze window; frozen enemies cannot react or dodge
- Counter wave rushes — a Blizzard timed into an incoming group stops the whole formation in one throw
- Boss + adds positioning — aim at the boss footprint to freeze boss and surrounding minions simultaneously
TL;DR
Blizzard extends Freeze's single-target CC into a simultaneous radius freeze that catches every enemy in range. S-tier AOE crowd control. Essential for burst-combo and survival builds.
