Status: Freeze

All Status Effects Stun Poison Fire Freeze Shock Curse Sleep

A player inflicted by freeze.

Freeze is a status condition that will cause the victim to become frozen in place. The victim will not be able to move or turn, but can still attack. Attacks that can freeze deal a portion of elemental damage; damage taken from freeze status can only be reduced by freeze-resistant armor.

Players can attack frozen allies to free them instantly, otherwise a frozen player will thaw out painlessly when the duration ends, or not so painlessly if attacked by a monster. Likewise, if the player attacks frozen enemies they will free them from their frozen state, but this will not result in any bonus damage, whereas the enemy WILL take a substantial amount if allowed to thaw out on their own. Players are therefore advised to ignore frozen monsters in favor of other targets. Note that monsters can also be freed from freeze early (and without damage) if another monster uses an attack near them.
