Frozen Snowshoe is a legendary shield manufactured by Anshin. It is dropped by the Valkyrie Squad and Wotan the Invincible.

Special Shield Effects[]

Give'em the cold toelder. – Sliding into enemies drains all shields and deals bonus cryo damage based on current shield strength. When depleted, releases a cryo nova that damages nearby enemies and heals the user for 30% of damage dealt.

Usage & Description[]

The Frozen Snowshoe is effective for close-range health builds due to its perks. Fittingly, it is excellent for Zane due to his abundance of cryo-enhancing skills.

A Frozen Snowshoe with the "On Action Skill Start - Activate any effects that trigger on shield break or fill." anointment is extremely powerful, capable of freezing enemies constantly if the character is using actions skills with short cooldowns such as FL4K's Rakk Attack! or Zane's MNTIS Shoulder Cannon. Frozen Snowshoes with this anointment are often considered among the best shields in the game.

Notes[]

  • As the snowball released by the Snowdrift artifact will drain the user's shield, it can be used in tandem with the Frozen Snowshoe's nova.
  • The healing granted by the Frozen Snoeshoe is currently bugged, either granting less health or dealing less damage then it should be (needs confirmation)
  • The chance of freezing an enemy solid with the Frozen Snowshoe's Nova is near 100%.
  • The Frozen Snowshoe is a combination of the Red Card and Frozen Heart shields. While the Frozen Snowshoe might look almost identical to the Frozen Heart at first glance (besides the added sliding bonus), the Frozen Heart has better stats but has fixed parts and thus cannot spawn with any shield augments like vagabond or absorb.
