Frozen Gale

Mage skill · Ice line · tier 4

Beta 0.7.2

A cutting wind that takes the warmth with it.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 9 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Frozen Gale scales with Ice Damage. Its value at each rank is 22 + 6.3 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	28.3	34.6	40.9	47.2	53.5	59.8	66.1	72.4	78.7	85

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Ice skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
