Freezing Blast

Freezing Blast (called Snow Blast in EBF4) is an Ice-elemental skill in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5, used primarily by foes or through special effects of equipment.

Description

Freezing Blast is more or less what it sounds like - a circular burst of frigid air centered around the target is released. The burst also releases 16 snowflakes in a circular pattern, with a ring of eight large snowflakes near the target and eight smaller ones at a further distance.

In EBF4 Snow Blast is a magical Ice-elemental attack that is only notable for having a 33% Freeze chance — over twice the chance of Natalie's Iceshard. Since it's only a random cast from a piece of gear, it cannot be relied on for anything. If the player happens to need Freeze, they can get it from Frost Arrow.

In EBF5 Freezing Blast is now centered, and its Freeze chance and strength got greatly increased, giving it the potential to Freeze multiple players at once for a good while.
