What Makes This Build So Powerful?

The Frozen Explosion build revolves around freezing enemies, triggering massive chain reactions, and blowing up entire packs with nearly zero effort.

Core Mechanic: Chain-Reaction Freezes

Hit one enemy with Ice Shards → it freezes.

Frozen enemies die → Iceheart Braehs triggers Frost Nova.

That Frost Nova freezes other enemies → they die → another Frost Nova.

Repeat this loop until the screen is empty.

When supported with Mythic gear and the new Hail of Verglas, this combo scales incredibly hard, melting elite packs and bosses alike.

Required Diablo IV Items

To make this build truly pop, you need two core items:

1. Hail of Verglas (Mythic Unique)

Buffs Ice Shards with a multiplier up to 100x.

Adds extra shards and massively scales all damage dealt while it's active.

Not just for Ice Shards - the multiplier applies to any damage source, including explosions from Iceheart Braehs.

2. Iceheart Braehs (Unique Pants)

Adds a 40% chance of killing frozen enemies to cast Frost Nova.

That Frost Nova freezes more enemies, setting up a chain explosion.

Key to building the Frozen Explosion engine.

Important stat: Frost Nova Size - needs to drop with at least 69% to reach 100% size when masterworked (the cap). No Greater Affix (GA) required.

Important: While having other GAs (such as +Max Life) is beneficial, they're not required for the build to be functional. Focus on trigger rate and Buy Diablo 4 materials Nova size.
