• Effect: Apply 1 Frost to target
• Category: Debuff / Control

Frosthand Charm causes the equipped unit to apply 1 Frost (スノー/Snow equivalent) to its target on each attack. Frost reduces the target's Counter by 1 each time it ticks down (effectively slowing the enemy), and at Counter 0 the enemy's turn is skipped entirely until the Frost expires.

Frost is one of the strongest control tools in Wildfrost. Slowing enemies by reducing their Counter means they act less frequently, giving your team more time to attack, apply debuffs, or prepare. 1 Frost per hit is modest but consistent — on a fast unit that attacks every 2-3 turns, the cumulative Frost application adds up to meaningful speed reduction over the course of a battle.

In multi-hit scenarios (Frenzy, Barrage), each hit applies 1 Frost, stacking quickly to freeze an enemy's Counter completely. A x2 Frenzy unit with Frosthand applies 2 Frost per activation, which rapidly silences fast enemies.

The limitation is that 1 Frost per hit is slow to build against bosses with high Counter. For high-Counter boss enemies, multiple Frost sources or Frenzy synergy is needed to make meaningful impact within the battle duration.

Best on fast-Counter units or Barrage units that hit multiple times and stack Frost quickly. Your leader with decent combat frequency can passively slow the enemy without dedicating a unit to debuffing.

Also effective on units that already apply Snow — both use the same mechanic, and stacking both sources accelerates enemy Counter reduction.

• Frenzy Charm: x2 Frenzy doubles Frost application per activation
• Barrage units: Multi-target hits spread Frost across the row simultaneously
• Spice (スパイス) attack builds: Attack still deals damage while Frosthand adds Frost as a bonus debuff
• Snow-applying team: Multiple Frost/Snow sources freeze enemies quickly
