Game Description
This Console's active ability fires a cluster munition containing a colony of Parasitic Ice toward target vessel. When it bursts, it encases the Foe, disabling Engines and Taunting the Foe to attack the Ice until it sets itself free (does not Taunt Players).If the Ice survives 20 sec, it deals additional Cold damage; if the Foe dies during the duration, the Ice spreads to up to three nearby Foes, though total Ice Duration may not exceed 40 sec. Passively, the Console improves Projectile Damage, Cannon Damage, Cold Damage, and Cold Damage Resistance Rating.
