Frost is and forever will be my favorite frame. My step brother who was 11 years older than me introduced me to the game at the lowest point of my life. He mainly plays frost to keep me safe during missions. And i decided to have him as my first prime frame in honor of my step brother. We had a lot of fun playing double frost and modding for either the smallest/largest globe we can make. I still remember those days fondly. My step brother sadly lost his life 4 years ago due to drunk driving. Still to this day i cant believe that he's gone.
@@michaelgrindy6913 I second this. The good times are the best times, glad you can think of those the most when you see things that remind you. Frosty together strong✊
Post-Jade Shadows Viewer! Frost got a slight rework! Cold Procs as a whole got a buff! Now you can apply a tenth proc for a solid freeze! Frost’s Passive was changed! Now, similar to Ember, the more enemies suffering from Cold Procs in close proximity to Frost, the higher his armor goes! Snow Globe finally allows allied fire in both directions! And all Frost’s Abilities are better at spreading Cold Procs, but Ice Wave is still a Helminth Slot.
Same he was the reason I even got into Warframe when I saw their trailer when I saw him i immediately fell in love with them and he's been my main ever since I almost literally can't play a different Warframe
As a Gara/Rev enjoyer, I've come around to Frost. He's a chill guy who makes Warframe a breeze. Whispers and Dagath's update just made him even more of a beast.
Frost is an enigma when it comes to the original Warframes, considering that a good number of them have had a good chunk of their original kits gutted, abilities reworked so heavily that they literally only share the name, or just completely reworked.
@@kennethsatria6607 most changes that have really happened to Rhino was his iron skin going from duration based to having hp just like snow globe and some stomp changes and that's about it. I think Rhino holds the title of least touched frame ever. Only other frame I can think of would be Nova since she only ever really had 2 changes. Her mprime going from an instant debuff to a moving wave, and her damage on her antimatter drop being capped instead of having infinite scaling. Besides that she also has never really been changed in any way
As a starter frost enjoyer to a revenant main I literally remember running frost through most content before plains real fun glad he has some love still
Frost needs a signature aura mod /passive change called cold aura that does radial cold procs does no damage and range can't be changed but it would be a nice change
make his passive like embers, but instead of power strenght, give him energy siphon like effect for each enemy in affinity range that has cold proc on them, thus fixing his energy economy while staying true to his vibe make his 1 cone instead of single target, and if you want give it the same thing as harrow but instead of shield buff let it give him some armor buff, making him even tankier, or give him some other form of buff for each enemy hit, but make it both a cheap way to proc his passive and also something useful to use to mantain certain buff make his 3 hold to cast that you can move with it, and make it proc 1 cold for each enemy that it touches aaand change his 2 into something more useful, if you want to be lazy make it the same as hydroids 3 where it gives him some buffs for each enemy affected with cold, while also making the cold procs permanent, or just make it radial coverage and give him like status immunit while standing on it or something like that he is such an easy fix but would be sooo good
@@nbassasin8092 I'd agree if not for 2 things his whole thing is more cold for more overall damage and if you need energy siphon or something like it in 2024 you may need to look at your build again
@@CG-_- brother, it would be stack of energy siphon per enemie affected, do you not know what embers passive does? in steel path it would result in something like 20-50 eneryg per second regen, i just used energy siphon for comparison not for the actual aura you would use, take styanaxs rally point instead if that part confuses you
@@nbassasin8092 there are sooo soo sooo many ways to go from 0 energy to full in one action I don't want frosts already bad passive to be energy recharge when it could be something that benefits his entire kit like passive cold stacks which btw fits his lore
Argument for Biting Frost. Arca Titron + Gas procs. When new gas came out. I experimented deeply with it, learning it was the only status effect in Warframe that benefited from overkill damage, and melee's have the highest status duration Mods, and highest overkill potential with combo, heavy attack, and stealth bonuses available. I haven't played since. Veilbreaker and usually used Baruuk, but the redundant overkill of frost's passive mod made me remember my beloved Overkill hammer that made instakill AOE fields for 12 seconds.
Frost is the main reason I play Warframe. I remember around 7 years ago that I really love his design and ice power. He looks so cool! He reminds me of Vergil's DMC 3 devil trigger somehow with that waist coat of his. Here I am now still maining Frost. Gotta love how he has overguard and armor strip. It makes me so happy to play him
Frost main since I started the game years ago. I gravitate to other frames, run around with Nidus, Titania, Sevagoth, and many more. But I will always come back around to my Frost Prime. I try to do all story content with it so it shows up in the cutscenes. Just, he's fun and always has been. Glad my boy is on the upswing.
Gauss uses two casts of a 50 energy ability to freeze enemies in an AoE, applying 2 cold procs Frost uses 1 cast of either a 50 energy ability or 100 energy ability to freeze enemies in AoE + defend/slow an area or strip armor and apply 6 cold procs (or his 1 for a much smaller AoE) Giving Frost the Hydroid treatment and having a special version of the status (well, until green shards undid that) might be an idea, but Frost is definitely not getting pushed out of the freezing game by Gauss.
Frost has been my main frame since shortly after I started the game back in early 2018. The main thng that drew me to him was the frame reveal video, stating that he was an adaptable tank, capable of both offense and defense, depending on your needs. The funny thing is that…it wasn’t wrong then, and it still isn’t today. Most people only see him for his snow globe and avalanche, and thus completely ignore his other abilities. Sure, freeze and ice wave look bad on paper, but used in the right situations, they _can_ be pretty strong. Early on, I used freeze to make tankier enemies like Nox a slab of ice for me to dump bullets into with impunity, and I’ve used ice wave to lock enemies in place for my allies to melt with their dps, even in present day. Heck, Frost’s status abilities are really good when combined with a teammate playing Citrine, seeing as her turret ability targets enemies effected by status effects, and said turret’s damage stacks with the number of status effects, which _appears_ to include slow. With the right team, and the right use of his abilities, Frost can dominate even in higher levels. The main thing holding him back, in my opinion, is the majority of the community refusing to accept that Frost is more than just a defense frame. Sure, it’s something he does well, but thats not the only thing he can do well. He can strip armor from enemies, freeze them solid so they cant fight back, he can lock down choke points, and he can defend. Sure, there are other frames that can do all these, and can do them far better, but there arent many frames that can do them all at once like Frost can. He’s a jack of all trades, master of none. Other options may be more specialized, but what happens if the situation changes? Hyper-specialized frames can’t really adapt well outside their intended role, whereas a jack of all trades, like Frost, can. A jack of all trades has no intended role, because they can do everything equally well. In situations requiring a certain role, of course something that specializes in that role would have a jack of all trades beat, but that specialization means they can _only_ do that one thing well. If a situation arises where said specialized frame needs to do something outside its specialization, it…kinda cant. That’s why I’ve mained Frost as long as I have, and why I will continue to main him until the day Warframe dies - because few others accept that Frost’s strong point is his adaptability.
As a frost main thats been playing since 2015 i thank you for this video. It was really cool to not only see what someone else thoughts on a rework for frost but to see history of the frame that i didnr even know. I love how in depth you went with tha patch history and everything. Hopefully my boi finally gets some at the very lesst ice wave chances and qol stuff for snow globe. That or we get a ice based frame that is like frost but kit is more build for the current state of the game / more then just defense. Imo while frost needs some changes over all he is a good frame that is just more focused on one type of gameplay and nothing else but he so good at it would hate to see a massive rework
Frost is my old love. He carried me through the starchart when I was just a beginner. I moved to Inaros later when I got him, but Frost was, is and forever will be, my one true love as a nordic person.
One change I wish frost got is an ice rink mechanic. Make it so that the ground impacted by Ice Wave/avalanche and the area inside Snow Globe is 50% lower friction. It would just be fun.
Passive: Like Embers, but instead of power strenght give him energy siphon like effect for each enemy affected by cold proc in affinity range (or ceratin range if thats too big, you can also give him the cap if it turns out its too much in the testing but with how many other broken energy economy crap we have I doubt it would). This alone greatly fixes eneryg economy on him, even to the degree of not needing flow or efficiency (with better base energy poool ofc, that one is a given fix that he needs) 1st: just ake it cone shape and make it proc cold to work with his new passive, while also having harrow like effect of giving him armor buff for each enemy hit, or some other buff, but make it cheap quick form of buffing him and utilising his passive 2nd: either make it a plunder like ability or make it AOE coverage and give him status immunity while standing on it or something of the sort 3rd: just give it hold to cast to walk with it, and make it proc cold whenever enemies touch it 4th: stays the same this is the hydroid treatment of making him almost the same while giving him some chunky lifts to abilities, making it very easy for devs while making frost a fun ability caster that still can do the exact same thing he has been doing, while also having other things Edit: I really like the augment for his 3rd that allies could pick up the globe and get armour buff, that sounds very unique and fun and Im even up for making that part of his 3rd and not the augment
Even before Frost got overguard upgrade, I loved running my max efficiency build using Avalanche and Gloom. It was fun bringing enemy movement to a standstill while stripping their armor and gaining extra layer of protection that I can keep replenishing due to my Avalanche spam. Overguard just gave my Frost another extra damage gate. That and Gloom active with my color combination looks cool. Its like having a snowstorm swirling around Frost.
I still remember when i was starting and fell in love with his concept of being a big strong wall of ice that could freeze anything. I used him a lot and after some time i found out there was a prime version and for months farmed and buyed his different pieces except his Systems if i'm not wrong, one day a good guy just found out the reason i was trying to sell anything was trying to get that one last piece so he said something like "hey, if you want we can try to get it, for free" he was just being nice for no reason, just being a good person and a big reason to love the game, the people is usually nice to you, so we went for it and in the first try we failed and the second was the last try since he didn't have more relics but right there the miracle happened, his systems were there to pick them, i had finally obtained my favourite frame till this day. I think i have spent more plat than any other frame just to Fashion frame on him and i don't regret doing it.
You can definitely tell there was a definite shift in the design philosophy of Warframe, how a lot of the early warframes are fairly simple with few if any synergistic effects and abilities or forego that entirely with plain utility skills like Valkyr's ripline, and how the modern warframes all synergize with/around a core mechanic of the frame. Gauss' Redline, Wisp's motes and wisps, Sevagoth's gloom and exalted shadow. It really does make these older warframes feel incredibly dated and in dire need of some TLC.
I'd like to see an augment or rework to change snowglobe into an ironskin-style overguard for everything in range. No more blocking your own team's shots.
Frost it’s my favorite warframe, I remember that I wanted to get the prime in the times it was pretty Expensive (2014-2015?), I remember to farm platinum to buy every part, but the systems if i remember correctly were like 150+ platinum. One day in the trade chat I saw someone selling it for 30p, I messaged him to ask if the price was right because I’ve never saw it so cheap, I thanked that guy so much, he was confused xD. That Frost became my most used warframe and still my favorite :D
Frost Prime was my first frame, I started playing when he was free for some reason. While he might not be "meta" he is still one of my favourites, he also has some great fashion! Took a few years before he fell from my most played frame❤
For Nev's concept, I'd make the Snowglobe only get 4x instead of 5x Armor Multiplier as Health, BUT make it gain a flat 3x Overguard to Health conversion each time YOUR abilities generate Overguard while inside of it. This way it avoids having to be recast as often but also isn't completely passive, requiring you to use your other abilities to keep building it up.
I love a new Ubral Video to start the new year. Also I actually enjoyed frost chill playstyle even it's niche. Been building my parkour frost for the event and actually speedrun with him for 9 mins if I skip the angel in Effervo. I wish he needed some adjustments, number tweaks and change onto his 1,2 and passive because he has been getting small buffs on his cold, overguard augment and ease of use
So happy that one person isn’t working on warframe and has moved onto a different game. Imo the game has been thriving and doing so much better in every way.
Im a frost main when i started warframe was a rhino main then i tried frost. Last week i bought Frost Prime which i dont regret. I just hope my ice box gets more love soon lol. I was born christmas eve and always loved sub zero as a kid in mortal kombat. To me frost just screams my style.
For someone who played Warframe in 2014-2015, it was nice to hear about the history of the frame up to 2023. I remember using Rhino, Trinity and Nekros for farming survival and Frost mainly for excavation/defense, but remember not using it when snowglobe had Health.
Alot of these clips are such throwbacks. The regular frost skin with the original amphis. My two very first crafting goals in warframe. I remember saving the frost release wallpaper to my Pc
My rework idea: Passive - Freezing enemies is possible with all sources of cold procs. - Enemies killed with Cold DMG will drop a pillar of Ice that counts as a fragment of a wall that makes up a Cube, lasts until shattered. Once shattered it releases Cold aoe that builds up Cold procs. Those close to a pillar of ice are passively slowed down with cold procs until frozen. - Also the Ice drops HP and AMMO when shattered by any source. Puncture Procs also Procs Cold status. 1 STASIS Blast - throw a Hammer of Ice that bounces once and then detonates. Like a bouncy grenade. Deals IPS, Blast and Cold. - Hold down to shoot like a projectile (like it does rn). This version deals pure Cold. - On a surface except for walls and ceilings, it will create a wall of 3 pillars of ice. Enemies near the Ice Slow down but take no dmg only Cold Procs. - Any of the two will freeze instantly if aimed well. Using the Hold Fire increases the Ice Pillars reach as it adds more Pillars to the point of creating a Cube of Ice. 2 Stasis Wave - Swing your Ice Hammer from side to side hitting targets like Gara's 1st, freezing them instantly and as a bonus a wave of ice Pillars will grow from the hammers trajectory traveling through the floor. - The amount of ice created will negate movement and enemy flow on the map. But players can walkthrough it. Bosses (except minibosses) are immune to the ice and breaks it instantly by simply walking over it. - Holddown to control how far the ice wall/wave should travel, release it to spawn. Very similar to Zelda TOTK Yiga clan secret ability. - The Hammer will work like a pseudo Exalted weapon like Khoras 1st, scales off of Cold, IPS and Blast. 3 Stasis Globe - Same but can be carried if held when casting. AND ALLIES CAN SHOOT from any direction no matter. Shooting from inside imbues weapona with Cold, Blast and Puncture to all weapons, amps and abilities. - If you break the Ice Globe it will drop ammo and Health. 4 Stasis Storm - Slam a heavy Ice Hammer into the grown to spawn a Cube of Ice from which a Vortex of cold energy will violently trash enemies if close. - Allies gain Overguard if close as the buff starts to decay once you leave the area. - It strips armor. Enemies killed by the storm Drop extra Health and ammo. If active while near a pillar of ice it will become a large cube - Ice cube deals tripple the effect of a base Ice Pillar when stading near it and when shattering it. - The AOE does Deal heavy IPS, Blast and Cold DMG unlike a Pillar of ice. - Basically you can create a field of Ice cubes that negates enemy advances but mind you, the cubes arent immortal. - Use your Hammer abilities to Push the Cube but mind you if it doesnt hit a wall (only walls ) it will crash and break on contact.
I really like the idea of Frost getting raised maximum for cold procs, both gameplay-wise and and presentation-wise really makes him look as a master of his element
If i change anything about frost i would let others people shoot trough the snow globe. One of the most frustrating things i had to deal with my time was a bad frost that did not let me use weapons. It was up there with syndoid mirages and pre turbo fucking world on fire ember.
As the Guy who wrote a 9 page essay on frost, you have no idea how much willpower it took to not add 3 extra pages complaining and falling apart over the fact that the frost bubble blocks friendly damage. Even worse, its bugged to not block railgun moas. 🥴 I have no enemies
I don’t really play frost that much, but if I were to suggest a change to his kit it would be: On cast of snowglobe - all allies and defense targets gain a flat rate of overgaurd, its stackable per cast and its amount can be increased via power strength. While snowglobe is active, shooting the snowglobe sends out a wave of ice procs - slowing enemies. Freeze - depending on the total amount of overgaurd of teammates and allies frost freeze removes a percentage of overgaurd of a hit eximus and gives a portion of said overgaurd to frost, going over the cap to a extent. With an augmented allowing the given overgaurd to be split between allies. With enough overgaurd this can fully strip a eximus. Avalanche - on hold of the cast all procs of cold are removed from enemies and pulled back to frost, pulling enemies in and making them more susceptible to cold procs for a time. Frost, his globe, and allies are given overgaurd for the amount of cold procs returned. Then given a period of time of damage invulnerability depending on the total teams overgaurd due to being fully incased in a sheild of ice.
Can we somehow wave this rework concept at Pablo? Although Frost is in an ok place with the balance, changes and arcanes like primary frostbite he's very one note and repetitive, especially with his 3 becoming essentially useless in the high mobility meta that's coming in with the whispers tile sets, 1 and 2 are a waste of energy so we use him to abuse his all in one ability and occasionally check DMs, the change in playstyle to more of a tank, cc, weapon platform would make him very unique with how he would achieve that, like rhino but with a very different way to play is a great thing for variety.
Firstly, I am a Frost main myself, so the idea that a lack of stand-out tuning to his kit is depressing I will certainly agree (Honestly anyone will). But, I think the reason why they haven't given any special care to ~the boy~, is that they see how specialized his kit is and don't want to repeat that. Metas change through updates, and they don't want to leave him in a similar situation as he started but even more topsy turny. But what do I know, and to be frank it has been nearly 11 years, he needs *something.* Thanks for the content sir. (I think it'd be funny if there was a snowglobe augment that you just pick it up like Volt, literally just like Volt and ram into enemies and make them fall flat on the ground frozen. Affected by range, albeit to a lesser degree than normal globe, lord know that'd change his whole meta to just run around with a 35 meter glode around you lmfao. (Edit; nevermind that's almost exactly what Mr. Pro did. lol. (Also it's not like the devs have so much free time they can just change Frost's kit whenever now, the issue was mothballed and now it's like cleaning a house that nobody has been to in years... kind of literally.
I really struggled my first two days on so, this is my 4th. I died constantly to base so eximus leech etc. frost has helped me so so much just modding for efficiency strength and stretch has made me able to strip armor very easily. Thank you frost I was about to give up.
1. i learned stuff i didn't know about frost before so thanks 2. i agree with the idea of reworked 1 and 2 but not the 3 and 4, mainly the hold ability for his 3 and discount world of fire for his 4.
Frost was op in closed beta. He was able to wipe out the hardest missions waves with ease and collect level 30 mods in the hundreds. Xini was the hardest on closed beta.
I remember Frost back in 2014. When I came back to the game years later and he wasn't as awesome, I wondered if I was playing him wrong. Guess this answers that.
Cool Frost ideas, I replace his 1 with Vial Rush to boost his mobility or replace it with Thermal Sunder so I can "shatter" stripped enemies from Avalanched. I would like it if Frost was able to "shatter" frozen enemies or benefit against enemies affected by cold.
Nevs rework idea is very similar to what i thought of when i was brainstorming a frost rework. so i hope DE will go in that direction as well when they eventually rework him
Idea: Make Frost Freezing with cold stacks a passive. Frost: Shivering Cold: damaging an enemy at 10 stacks of cold freezes them solid. Also, Cold gets 10 stacks of effect, amounting to a total of 95% slow.
Nah compared to everything else in the game it's definitely C or +D. It's a frame you use for fun cuz you only use one ability and any helminth you use, you might as well just use the frame it comes from. It's fun but he needs some changes to his first three abilities and his passive.
@@smokeyjoseph1790 I've been playing Warframe for at very least 6 years frost def is a or b he has massive cc and when damage comes from full armor strips plus providing two shield gate instances you go minimum b or a atlas is c or d and i main him
@@smokeyjoseph1790 The difference is Frost is functional and has some offense to deal with the enemies we have today, if he was purely CC based with ZERO offensive capabilities then yeah, C or D but I think B is fair given all the factors.
Frost become meta in my eyes when the helminth option for adding dispensary on him, giving him infinite energy to allow him to spam his 4th ability. You would have to build for a lot of strength to fully strip but this didn't really matter with dispensary. The augment now is identical to how it functioned before the health type just changed, so while it was (and is) extremely minor even on steel path it now also gives him a free gate in addition to his shield gate. Overall his only issue is single enemies like acolytes if they are not surrounded by enemies for frost to overguard steal from.
Also if you asked me for info on frost, i could have told you that the augment mod for frost's freeze, freeze force, would "stick" to enemies and for the entire duration of the cold damage boost they would emit cold damage and procs in an aoe around them due to a bug. DE fixed this bug at least 3 times, but it kept coming back. I used this to make a meme build where i used a roller to defeat 5 waves of infested defense by just it having those cold procs on it. This was finally fixed by DE changing the augment to give cold damage as an aoe on hold, rather than using the freeze projectile to do it.
I enjoy the history of each frame you focus on in each video and look forward to every video from NovaUmbral. I started playing during Echos of Zaramin/Khora Prime Access so I find the history lesson and recap enjoyable info. I learned more on how to actually play and utilize Harrow from your video than any other WF streamer/content creator shared. Because of NovaUmbral and The Kengineer I now use Lavos as my secondary main because Lavos just fits and just works for me and how I play WF. Not saying this to be toxic or to troll, you sound bitterly cold in the first 35mins of the video while going over the history of the Game Updates and how the updates apply to one of the oldest frames. It sounds personal, as in NovaUmbral is fed up and wants Frost to be the SubZero of WF again and is tired of the short stick. I agree, Frost should be Bihan of WF. Frost should outclass glass and chains, Frost and cold can be better and should be. Sorry I lost interest during the player Nev rework section after like 3mins and fast forwarded to the closing thoughts.The technical talk made me glassy eyed and was just over my head. I'm not into theory crafting or game development, I just play to be a bad ass space wizard powered cyber ninja taking. Otherwise I loved the video like all the content I've seen from NovaUmbral.
frost is an evergreen warframe, honestly such a well designed warframe, i dont know if a rework would do him justice if they do one i really hope they make him seriously powerful anything less would be insulting for a frame of his stature
I had no intentions of actually getting it until the holidays where a family member who watches my videos gifted it to me, it is nice despite the hefty price tag
Do not take getting this frame into high levels lightly! It took me days of leveling, researching, build testing, and arcane switching to get this frame in a respectable state where he’s actually kinda disgusting in high levels. Where I’m running high range, armor strip/overguard build with Ensnare and max arcane’s. Your mileage may vary from mine. But just know, if you want Frost to be good, you gotta commit!
Ever since hydroid's update i couldn't understand why frost can't have a unique extra stack for Perma freeze. Thank god DE is adding freeze procs on cold status on Jade's Update in June.
Honestly, Frost has always been "good" in my opinion, having played for roughly 6 years and not even seeing his earliest power spikes. He's always been "good," and that's why he was forgotten/underused. He was never great in the latter half of the game's lifespan, just "good." But even if he's not something absolutely crazy and insane like newer frames that have been released since then, I'll still recommend him to people without a second thought. He's an extremely solid choice, especially with armor strip changes and the overguard augment, and to this day he shows that just because damage is king right now, he can still pull his weight.
The only warframe have a prime look like a normal version, The first frame have exclusive shoulder armor, And the only frame look old just by the design
Frost is and forever will be my favorite frame. My step brother who was 11 years older than me introduced me to the game at the lowest point of my life. He mainly plays frost to keep me safe during missions. And i decided to have him as my first prime frame in honor of my step brother.
We had a lot of fun playing double frost and modding for either the smallest/largest globe we can make. I still remember those days fondly.
My step brother sadly lost his life 4 years ago due to drunk driving. Still to this day i cant believe that he's gone.
I'm very sorry for your loss, hopefully he is in a better place, and hopefully this video brings you back some good memories about him

Rest in peace. 🙏

Post-Jade Shadows Viewer! Frost got a slight rework!
Cold Procs as a whole got a buff! Now you can apply a tenth proc for a solid freeze!
Frost’s Passive was changed! Now, similar to Ember, the more enemies suffering from Cold Procs in close proximity to Frost, the higher his armor goes!
Snow Globe finally allows allied fire in both directions!
And all Frost’s Abilities are better at spreading Cold Procs, but Ice Wave is still a Helminth Slot.
Oh man nothing beat loading into a defense mission and seeing a frost on your team. Felt unstoppable.
hats off to every Frost I met while farming for Citrine, they took the pressure off the missions so much
Frost was the first warframe i built starting out, he hold a VERY special place in my heart.
I wanted the Prime varriant for so long, and I still play him today
Same he was the reason I even got into Warframe when I saw their trailer when I saw him i immediately fell in love with them and he's been my main ever since I almost literally can't play a different Warframe
First Prime I built, during the void key era
i remember frost being the first warframe I built, with the help of a more experienced tenno at that time which was 3 years ago

Frost is an enigma when it comes to the original Warframes, considering that a good number of them have had a good chunk of their original kits gutted, abilities reworked so heavily that they literally only share the name, or just completely reworked.

As a starter frost enjoyer to a revenant main
I literally remember running frost through most content before plains real fun glad he has some love still
Frost needs a signature aura mod /passive change called cold aura that does radial cold procs does no damage and range can't be changed but it would be a nice change
Or they can also give him hydroid treatment but for cold procs where on 10 procs he freezes , maybe even add % shatter dmg too
make his passive like embers, but instead of power strenght, give him energy siphon like effect for each enemy in affinity range that has cold proc on them, thus fixing his energy economy while staying true to his vibe
make his 1 cone instead of single target, and if you want give it the same thing as harrow but instead of shield buff let it give him some armor buff, making him even tankier, or give him some other form of buff for each enemy hit, but make it both a cheap way to proc his passive and also something useful to use to mantain certain buff
make his 3 hold to cast that you can move with it, and make it proc 1 cold for each enemy that it touches
aaand change his 2 into something more useful, if you want to be lazy make it the same as hydroids 3 where it gives him some buffs for each enemy affected with cold, while also making the cold procs permanent, or just make it radial coverage and give him like status immunit while standing on it or something like that
he is such an easy fix but would be sooo good
@@nbassasin8092 I'd agree if not for 2 things his whole thing is more cold for more overall damage and if you need energy siphon or something like it in 2024 you may need to look at your build again
@@CG-_- brother, it would be stack of energy siphon per enemie affected, do you not know what embers passive does? in steel path it would result in something like 20-50 eneryg per second regen, i just used energy siphon for comparison not for the actual aura you would use, take styanaxs rally point instead if that part confuses you
@@nbassasin8092 there are sooo soo sooo many ways to go from 0 energy to full in one action I don't want frosts already bad passive to be energy recharge when it could be something that benefits his entire kit like passive cold stacks which btw fits his lore
Argument for Biting Frost. Arca Titron + Gas procs. When new gas came out. I experimented deeply with it, learning it was the only status effect in Warframe that benefited from overkill damage, and melee's have the highest status duration Mods, and highest overkill potential with combo, heavy attack, and stealth bonuses available. I haven't played since. Veilbreaker and usually used Baruuk, but the redundant overkill of frost's passive mod made me remember my beloved Overkill hammer that made instakill AOE fields for 12 seconds.

Wow, there was a lot of history in this one. Mad props for all the work that went into it. Stay frosty! ❄️
I’ve been a frost main for the 6 years I’ve been playing and I still spend time perfecting my frost build
Frost is the main reason I play Warframe. I remember around 7 years ago that I really love his design and ice power. He looks so cool! He reminds me of Vergil's DMC 3 devil trigger somehow with that waist coat of his. Here I am now still maining Frost. Gotta love how he has overguard and armor strip. It makes me so happy to play him
Frost main since I started the game years ago. I gravitate to other frames, run around with Nidus, Titania, Sevagoth, and many more. But I will always come back around to my Frost Prime. I try to do all story content with it so it shows up in the cutscenes. Just, he's fun and always has been. Glad my boy is on the upswing.
Frost was my first main, then wukong, then it was sevagoth and now it's frost again. He is overall insanely good.
Gauss uses two casts of a 50 energy ability to freeze enemies in an AoE, applying 2 cold procs
Frost uses 1 cast of either a 50 energy ability or 100 energy ability to freeze enemies in AoE + defend/slow an area or strip armor and apply 6 cold procs
(or his 1 for a much smaller AoE)
Giving Frost the Hydroid treatment and having a special version of the status (well, until green shards undid that) might be an idea, but Frost is definitely not getting pushed out of the freezing game by Gauss.
If his one spread it's status like Banshee does with her Sonar Augment Frost would be amazing. If maybe that were his passive it would be amazing.
Frost has been my main frame since shortly after I started the game back in early 2018. The main thng that drew me to him was the frame reveal video, stating that he was an adaptable tank, capable of both offense and defense, depending on your needs.
The funny thing is that…it wasn’t wrong then, and it still isn’t today. Most people only see him for his snow globe and avalanche, and thus completely ignore his other abilities. Sure, freeze and ice wave look bad on paper, but used in the right situations, they _can_ be pretty strong. Early on, I used freeze to make tankier enemies like Nox a slab of ice for me to dump bullets into with impunity, and I’ve used ice wave to lock enemies in place for my allies to melt with their dps, even in present day.
Heck, Frost’s status abilities are really good when combined with a teammate playing Citrine, seeing as her turret ability targets enemies effected by status effects, and said turret’s damage stacks with the number of status effects, which _appears_ to include slow. With the right team, and the right use of his abilities, Frost can dominate even in higher levels.
The main thing holding him back, in my opinion, is the majority of the community refusing to accept that Frost is more than just a defense frame. Sure, it’s something he does well, but thats not the only thing he can do well. He can strip armor from enemies, freeze them solid so they cant fight back, he can lock down choke points, and he can defend. Sure, there are other frames that can do all these, and can do them far better, but there arent many frames that can do them all at once like Frost can. He’s a jack of all trades, master of none. Other options may be more specialized, but what happens if the situation changes? Hyper-specialized frames can’t really adapt well outside their intended role, whereas a jack of all trades, like Frost, can. A jack of all trades has no intended role, because they can do everything equally well. In situations requiring a certain role, of course something that specializes in that role would have a jack of all trades beat, but that specialization means they can _only_ do that one thing well. If a situation arises where said specialized frame needs to do something outside its specialization, it…kinda cant.
That’s why I’ve mained Frost as long as I have, and why I will continue to main him until the day Warframe dies - because few others accept that Frost’s strong point is his adaptability.
As a frost main thats been playing since 2015 i thank you for this video. It was really cool to not only see what someone else thoughts on a rework for frost but to see history of the frame that i didnr even know. I love how in depth you went with tha patch history and everything. Hopefully my boi finally gets some at the very lesst ice wave chances and qol stuff for snow globe. That or we get a ice based frame that is like frost but kit is more build for the current state of the game / more then just defense. Imo while frost needs some changes over all he is a good frame that is just more focused on one type of gameplay and nothing else but he so good at it would hate to see a massive rework
Finally someone making a Frost video!
It is my main and I can take him to every mission, but I prefer to use better frames for specific missions.
Nev is truly an insane gamer and mentally ill as well, i love him so much
As a FROST main; you have MADE MY DAY! Thank you good sir 🫡
Ive never really watched a video like this, you've definitely earned a sub.
Sounds like DE should hire this Nev guy… Frost needs a rework so bad. One of my top frames that I wanna see reworked.
Frost is my old love. He carried me through the starchart when I was just a beginner. I moved to Inaros later when I got him, but Frost was, is and forever will be, my one true love as a nordic person.
One change I wish frost got is an ice rink mechanic. Make it so that the ground impacted by Ice Wave/avalanche and the area inside Snow Globe is 50% lower friction. It would just be fun.
I still give any frost players the respect.
Passive: Like Embers, but instead of power strenght give him energy siphon like effect for each enemy affected by cold proc in affinity range (or ceratin range if thats too big, you can also give him the cap if it turns out its too much in the testing but with how many other broken energy economy crap we have I doubt it would). This alone greatly fixes eneryg economy on him, even to the degree of not needing flow or efficiency (with better base energy poool ofc, that one is a given fix that he needs)
1st: just ake it cone shape and make it proc cold to work with his new passive, while also having harrow like effect of giving him armor buff for each enemy hit, or some other buff, but make it cheap quick form of buffing him and utilising his passive
2nd: either make it a plunder like ability or make it AOE coverage and give him status immunity while standing on it or something of the sort
3rd: just give it hold to cast to walk with it, and make it proc cold whenever enemies touch it
4th: stays the same
this is the hydroid treatment of making him almost the same while giving him some chunky lifts to abilities, making it very easy for devs while making frost a fun ability caster that still can do the exact same thing he has been doing, while also having other things
Edit: I really like the augment for his 3rd that allies could pick up the globe and get armour buff, that sounds very unique and fun and Im even up for making that part of his 3rd and not the augment
Even before Frost got overguard upgrade, I loved running my max efficiency build using Avalanche and Gloom. It was fun bringing enemy movement to a standstill while stripping their armor and gaining extra layer of protection that I can keep replenishing due to my Avalanche spam. Overguard just gave my Frost another extra damage gate. That and Gloom active with my color combination looks cool. Its like having a snowstorm swirling around Frost.
I still remember when i was starting and fell in love with his concept of being a big strong wall of ice that could freeze anything. I used him a lot and after some time i found out there was a prime version and for months farmed and buyed his different pieces except his Systems if i'm not wrong, one day a good guy just found out the reason i was trying to sell anything was trying to get that one last piece so he said something like "hey, if you want we can try to get it, for free" he was just being nice for no reason, just being a good person and a big reason to love the game, the people is usually nice to you, so we went for it and in the first try we failed and the second was the last try since he didn't have more relics but right there the miracle happened, his systems were there to pick them, i had finally obtained my favourite frame till this day. I think i have spent more plat than any other frame just to Fashion frame on him and i don't regret doing it.
You can definitely tell there was a definite shift in the design philosophy of Warframe, how a lot of the early warframes are fairly simple with few if any synergistic effects and abilities or forego that entirely with plain utility skills like Valkyr's ripline, and how the modern warframes all synergize with/around a core mechanic of the frame. Gauss' Redline, Wisp's motes and wisps, Sevagoth's gloom and exalted shadow. It really does make these older warframes feel incredibly dated and in dire need of some TLC.
I'd like to see an augment or rework to change snowglobe into an ironskin-style overguard for everything in range.
No more blocking your own team's shots.
Honestly, if snow globe didn't stop team shots, it would make the game so much more fun.
Frost it’s my favorite warframe, I remember that I wanted to get the prime in the times it was pretty Expensive (2014-2015?), I remember to farm platinum to buy every part, but the systems if i remember correctly were like 150+ platinum. One day in the trade chat I saw someone selling it for 30p, I messaged him to ask if the price was right because I’ve never saw it so cheap, I thanked that guy so much, he was confused xD. That Frost became my most used warframe and still my favorite :D
Frost Prime was my first frame, I started playing when he was free for some reason.
While he might not be "meta" he is still one of my favourites, he also has some great fashion!
Took a few years before he fell from my most played frame❤
" How loki vanished "
Xd
"How Loki turned the community on itself"
Wait shit, that would be with the Disarm augment lol
For Nev's concept, I'd make the Snowglobe only get 4x instead of 5x Armor Multiplier as Health, BUT make it gain a flat 3x Overguard to Health conversion each time YOUR abilities generate Overguard while inside of it. This way it avoids having to be recast as often but also isn't completely passive, requiring you to use your other abilities to keep building it up.
I love a new Ubral Video to start the new year. Also I actually enjoyed frost chill playstyle even it's niche. Been building my parkour frost for the event and actually speedrun with him for 9 mins if I skip the angel in Effervo. I wish he needed some adjustments, number tweaks and change onto his 1,2 and passive because he has been getting small buffs on his cold, overguard augment and ease of use
That music intro is a vibe
I've started seeing a sort of revival of Frost. I'm now seeing him frequently in relays and lobbies. Good to see them rocking epic fashion frames lol
So happy that one person isn’t working on warframe and has moved onto a different game. Imo the game has been thriving and doing so much better in every way.
I've been thoroughly enjoying his overguard augment. He's currently one of my favorite sp endurance frames and makes it so easy xD
Im a frost main when i started warframe was a rhino main then i tried frost. Last week i bought Frost Prime which i dont regret. I just hope my ice box gets more love soon lol. I was born christmas eve and always loved sub zero as a kid in mortal kombat. To me frost just screams my style.
For someone who played Warframe in 2014-2015, it was nice to hear about the history of the frame up to 2023. I remember using Rhino, Trinity and Nekros for farming survival and Frost mainly for excavation/defense, but remember not using it when snowglobe had Health.
Another W for gauss
Alot of these clips are such throwbacks. The regular frost skin with the original amphis. My two very first crafting goals in warframe.
I remember saving the frost release wallpaper to my Pc
My rework idea:
Passive - Freezing enemies is possible with all sources of cold procs.
- Enemies killed with Cold DMG will drop a pillar of Ice that counts as a fragment of a wall that makes up a Cube, lasts until shattered. Once shattered it releases Cold aoe that builds up Cold procs. Those close to a pillar of ice are passively slowed down with cold procs until frozen.
- Also the Ice drops HP and AMMO when shattered by any source. Puncture Procs also Procs Cold status.
1 STASIS Blast - throw a Hammer of Ice that bounces once and then detonates. Like a bouncy grenade. Deals IPS, Blast and Cold.
- Hold down to shoot like a projectile (like it does rn). This version deals pure Cold.
- On a surface except for walls and ceilings, it will create a wall of 3 pillars of ice. Enemies near the Ice Slow down but take no dmg only Cold Procs.
- Any of the two will freeze instantly if aimed well. Using the Hold Fire increases the Ice Pillars reach as it adds more Pillars to the point of creating a Cube of Ice.
2 Stasis Wave - Swing your Ice Hammer from side to side hitting targets like Gara's 1st, freezing them instantly and as a bonus a wave of ice Pillars will grow from the hammers trajectory traveling through the floor.
- The amount of ice created will negate movement and enemy flow on the map. But players can walkthrough it. Bosses (except minibosses) are immune to the ice and breaks it instantly by simply walking over it.
- Holddown to control how far the ice wall/wave should travel, release it to spawn. Very similar to Zelda TOTK Yiga clan secret ability.
- The Hammer will work like a pseudo Exalted weapon like Khoras 1st, scales off of Cold, IPS and Blast.
3 Stasis Globe - Same but can be carried if held when casting. AND ALLIES CAN SHOOT from any direction no matter. Shooting from inside imbues weapona with Cold, Blast and Puncture to all weapons, amps and abilities.
- If you break the Ice Globe it will drop ammo and Health.
4 Stasis Storm - Slam a heavy Ice Hammer into the grown to spawn a Cube of Ice from which a Vortex of cold energy will violently trash enemies if close.
- Allies gain Overguard if close as the buff starts to decay once you leave the area.
- It strips armor. Enemies killed by the storm Drop extra Health and ammo. If active while near a pillar of ice it will become a large cube
- Ice cube deals tripple the effect of a base Ice Pillar when stading near it and when shattering it.
- The AOE does Deal heavy IPS, Blast and Cold DMG unlike a Pillar of ice.
- Basically you can create a field of Ice cubes that negates enemy advances but mind you, the cubes arent immortal.
- Use your Hammer abilities to Push the Cube but mind you if it doesnt hit a wall (only walls ) it will crash and break on contact.
Commenting after Jade Shadows update.
Frost is extremely OP with his augments. Red crits everywhere. I dare say meta too.
Just got into your channel, and looked through your videos to be surprised that there wasn't anything about frost. Thanks for this
I really like the idea of Frost getting raised maximum for cold procs, both gameplay-wise and and presentation-wise really makes him look as a master of his element
and now, frost is a complete monster
The suggested rework is amazing ! I sure hope he will get SOMETHIG direct to him
Frost is honestly pretty good nowadays. It's just one ability that carries him, but daaaaaamn that AOE armor strip+cc+overguard is juicy.
If i change anything about frost i would let others people shoot trough the snow globe. One of the most frustrating things i had to deal with my time was a bad frost that did not let me use weapons. It was up there with syndoid mirages and pre turbo fucking world on fire ember.
As the Guy who wrote a 9 page essay on frost, you have no idea how much willpower it took to not add 3 extra pages complaining and falling apart over the fact that the frost bubble blocks friendly damage. Even worse, its bugged to not block railgun moas. 🥴
I have no enemies
I don’t really play frost that much, but if I were to suggest a change to his kit it would be:
On cast of snowglobe - all allies and defense targets gain a flat rate of overgaurd, its stackable per cast and its amount can be increased via power strength. While snowglobe is active, shooting the snowglobe sends out a wave of ice procs - slowing enemies.
Freeze - depending on the total amount of overgaurd of teammates and allies frost freeze removes a percentage of overgaurd of a hit eximus and gives a portion of said overgaurd to frost, going over the cap to a extent. With an augmented allowing the given overgaurd to be split between allies. With enough overgaurd this can fully strip a eximus.
Avalanche - on hold of the cast all procs of cold are removed from enemies and pulled back to frost, pulling enemies in and making them more susceptible to cold procs for a time. Frost, his globe, and allies are given overgaurd for the amount of cold procs returned. Then given a period of time of damage invulnerability depending on the total teams overgaurd due to being fully incased in a sheild of ice.
"How Titania flew through Warframe"
Jade Shadows: guess who's going to get some changes alongside the faction weakness changes
Can we somehow wave this rework concept at Pablo? Although Frost is in an ok place with the balance, changes and arcanes like primary frostbite he's very one note and repetitive, especially with his 3 becoming essentially useless in the high mobility meta that's coming in with the whispers tile sets, 1 and 2 are a waste of energy so we use him to abuse his all in one ability and occasionally check DMs, the change in playstyle to more of a tank, cc, weapon platform would make him very unique with how he would achieve that, like rhino but with a very different way to play is a great thing for variety.
Firstly, I am a Frost main myself, so the idea that a lack of stand-out tuning to his kit is depressing I will certainly agree (Honestly anyone will). But, I think the reason why they haven't given any special care to ~the boy~, is that they see how specialized his kit is and don't want to repeat that. Metas change through updates, and they don't want to leave him in a similar situation as he started but even more topsy turny. But what do I know, and to be frank it has been nearly 11 years, he needs *something.* Thanks for the content sir. (I think it'd be funny if there was a snowglobe augment that you just pick it up like Volt, literally just like Volt and ram into enemies and make them fall flat on the ground frozen. Affected by range, albeit to a lesser degree than normal globe, lord know that'd change his whole meta to just run around with a 35 meter glode around you lmfao. (Edit; nevermind that's almost exactly what Mr. Pro did. lol. (Also it's not like the devs have so much free time they can just change Frost's kit whenever now, the issue was mothballed and now it's like cleaning a house that nobody has been to in years... kind of literally.
Frost has been one of my favorites since day one (if you couldn't tell). So this one was quite nice to watch
Holy shit, i actually forgot snowglobe used to have a duration. And this is a guy who did 160 waves in the old infested mission to farm trinity prime.
Thank you, now I have to remove the dust from my frost and play him
his back, my man his baaaaaack
I really struggled my first two days on so, this is my 4th. I died constantly to base so eximus leech etc. frost has helped me so so much just modding for efficiency strength and stretch has made me able to strip armor very easily. Thank you frost I was about to give up.
Seeing the oldest game play is so nostalgic 😢 i miss those times
1. i learned stuff i didn't know about frost before so thanks 2. i agree with the idea of reworked 1 and 2 but not the 3 and 4, mainly the hold ability for his 3 and discount world of fire for his 4.
Frost was op in closed beta. He was able to wipe out the hardest missions waves with ease and collect level 30 mods in the hundreds. Xini was the hardest on closed beta.
Ice wave is good for slowing enemies with overguard, where avalanche's freeze doesn't work
I remember Frost back in 2014. When I came back to the game years later and he wasn't as awesome, I wondered if I was playing him wrong. Guess this answers that.
Frost prime vaulting is why i still have tens of thousands of platinum to this day
Cool Frost ideas, I replace his 1 with Vial Rush to boost his mobility or replace it with Thermal Sunder so I can "shatter" stripped enemies from Avalanched. I would like it if Frost was able to "shatter" frozen enemies or benefit against enemies affected by cold.
Same except I put vial rush over his 2nd , good AOE cold until he gets rework
Wouldnt it be better to swap his 2 since his 1 can pop the globes if theyre in a bad spot?
If I could ask for anything its that DE looks at Nev's proposal and really consider it
Nevs rework idea is very similar to what i thought of when i was brainstorming a frost rework. so i hope DE will go in that direction as well when they eventually rework him

One thing you can't take away from Frost : He has THE BEST SKIN in The Heirloom in game.
Nev's idea on a frost rework sounds amazing i would hope they atleast do something similar
Idea: Make Frost Freezing with cold stacks a passive.
Frost: Shivering Cold: damaging an enemy at 10 stacks of cold freezes them solid.
Also, Cold gets 10 stacks of effect, amounting to a total of 95% slow.
As the video ended, i have finished leveling up my frost in SO, poetic.
on a fun note "marked for death" can allow for some group vaporizing shenanigans with a gas nataruk when mixed with biting frost and avalanche.
I’ve been waiting so long for this video 🎉
The game modes he is good at are close to being removed
Watching this after his rework hehehe frost is even more of a beast now.
Bro has to narrative and write for the Warframe Movie. These breakdowns are legendary
I hated his placement on knightmare tier list and I'm not even a frost main it just he either a or high b
He's definitely got capabilities and offense, middle of the road, solid
Nah compared to everything else in the game it's definitely C or +D. It's a frame you use for fun cuz you only use one ability and any helminth you use, you might as well just use the frame it comes from. It's fun but he needs some changes to his first three abilities and his passive.
@@smokeyjoseph1790 I've been playing Warframe for at very least 6 years frost def is a or b he has massive cc and when damage comes from full armor strips plus providing two shield gate instances you go minimum b or a atlas is c or d and i main him
Don’t listen to knightmareframe that guy is a fool
@@smokeyjoseph1790 The difference is Frost is functional and has some offense to deal with the enemies we have today, if he was purely CC based with ZERO offensive capabilities then yeah, C or D but I think B is fair given all the factors.
Frost become meta in my eyes when the helminth option for adding dispensary on him, giving him infinite energy to allow him to spam his 4th ability. You would have to build for a lot of strength to fully strip but this didn't really matter with dispensary. The augment now is identical to how it functioned before the health type just changed, so while it was (and is) extremely minor even on steel path it now also gives him a free gate in addition to his shield gate.
Overall his only issue is single enemies like acolytes if they are not surrounded by enemies for frost to overguard steal from.
Also if you asked me for info on frost, i could have told you that the augment mod for frost's freeze, freeze force, would "stick" to enemies and for the entire duration of the cold damage boost they would emit cold damage and procs in an aoe around them due to a bug. DE fixed this bug at least 3 times, but it kept coming back. I used this to make a meme build where i used a roller to defeat 5 waves of infested defense by just it having those cold procs on it.
This was finally fixed by DE changing the augment to give cold damage as an aoe on hold, rather than using the freeze projectile to do it.
Oh wow... I had no idea, what the hell.
well will do on other beta frames when I get around to them.
I made 5 videos at least on it at the time pretty sure if you want to check that out in action, just look up freeze force @@NovaUmbral
I made a reply but it likely got put in your spam filter@@NovaUmbral
Gotcha, was a bit silly on me for not checking but thanks for the further info
boy do i remember using frost for thermia fractures and nothing else ever!
I enjoy the history of each frame you focus on in each video and look forward to every video from NovaUmbral. I started playing during Echos of Zaramin/Khora Prime Access so I find the history lesson and recap enjoyable info. I learned more on how to actually play and utilize Harrow from your video than any other WF streamer/content creator shared. Because of NovaUmbral and The Kengineer I now use Lavos as my secondary main because Lavos just fits and just works for me and how I play WF.
Not saying this to be toxic or to troll, you sound bitterly cold in the first 35mins of the video while going over the history of the Game Updates and how the updates apply to one of the oldest frames. It sounds personal, as in NovaUmbral is fed up and wants Frost to be the SubZero of WF again and is tired of the short stick. I agree, Frost should be Bihan of WF. Frost should outclass glass and chains, Frost and cold can be better and should be.
Sorry I lost interest during the player Nev rework section after like 3mins and fast forwarded to the closing thoughts.The technical talk made me glassy eyed and was just over my head. I'm not into theory crafting or game development, I just play to be a bad ass space wizard powered cyber ninja taking. Otherwise I loved the video like all the content I've seen from NovaUmbral.
Let's just say.. there was a chilling wind for the first 15-25 min...
frost is an evergreen warframe, honestly such a well designed warframe, i dont know if a rework would do him justice if they do one i really hope they make him seriously powerful anything less would be insulting for a frame of his stature
The frost skin you have is sick!
I had no intentions of actually getting it until the holidays where a family member who watches my videos gifted it to me, it is nice despite the hefty price tag
@NovaUmbral I couldn't even see it in the store I was looking though 🤣
Yo that nev guy really b yappin tho
Yeah he really do, ngl
Calm down inaros main SantaPepe
Picking up Frost after years of neglect I found him surprisingly fun and powerful, but I quickly got bored with just pressing 4 over & over again.
Do not take getting this frame into high levels lightly! It took me days of leveling, researching, build testing, and arcane switching to get this frame in a respectable state where he’s actually kinda disgusting in high levels. Where I’m running high range, armor strip/overguard build with Ensnare and max arcane’s.
Your mileage may vary from mine. But just know, if you want Frost to be good, you gotta commit!
I’ll always be a frost main
FINALLY SOMEONE SEE THE GOOD THINGS OF FROST!!!!!
My boi needs a massive rework that passive needs a replacement
The proposed rework does make Frost sound a bit too much like Volt but far more defensive, Still i love Volt and i certainly won't mind it too much.
He's got a point about inaros
Ever since hydroid's update i couldn't understand why frost can't have a unique extra stack for Perma freeze.
Thank god DE is adding freeze procs on cold status on Jade's Update in June.
Ahhhh, you are as beautiful as the day they changed your snow globe.
Honestly, Frost has always been "good" in my opinion, having played for roughly 6 years and not even seeing his earliest power spikes. He's always been "good," and that's why he was forgotten/underused. He was never great in the latter half of the game's lifespan, just "good." But even if he's not something absolutely crazy and insane like newer frames that have been released since then, I'll still recommend him to people without a second thought. He's an extremely solid choice, especially with armor strip changes and the overguard augment, and to this day he shows that just because damage is king right now, he can still pull his weight.
the issue with frost is that no matter what you want to do there's always a better pick.
The only warframe have a prime look like a normal version,
The first frame have exclusive shoulder armor,
And the only frame look old just by the design
