Master the Gameplay Loop
There isn’t a specific gameplay loop for “The Frostmaker” build. Simply use Ager’s Scepter and your abilities to freeze and eliminate as many enemies as possible. Both Whisper of Bonds and Mantle of Battle Harmony will provide you with super energy from kills, and using Special Finisher will be useful when additional Special ammo is needed.
Once your super energy is full, you have three strong options. Firstly, you can use your super to clear a large group of ads or deal damage to a boss. Secondly, if you have excess Ager’s ammo, activate the firing mode from Ager’s Scepter’s catalyst to freeze enemies and deal additional damage. Finally, take advantage of Mantle of Battle Harmony’s perk, which grants extra Stasis weapon damage after a Stasis weapon kill, as long as you maintain full super energy.
Unlike other builds, “The Frostmaker” is highly effective in various scenarios and doesn’t rely on a specific gameplay loop.
Now, go forth and unleash the power of Stasis with “The Frostmaker” build!
