If turning your enemies into walking ice sculptures sounds like your kind of fun, the Frost Vortex build in *Once Human* might just become your new favorite setup. This build is designed for maximum area control and consistent elemental damage, leveraging cold status effects to lock down both mobs and bosses. It's all about creating a chilling zone where enemies get trapped, slowed, and gradually destroyed by stacking frost damage.
But it's not just about the flashy ice explosions—although there's plenty of that in this action game. A successful Frost Vortex build requires the right combination of gear, weapons, and perks to trigger those vortices consistently. In this guide, we’ll break it all down—from the core weapon choices to the ideal armor mods and cradle overrides—so you can ensure every shot you fire pushes your enemies closer to an icy demise.
Maintain the Polar Jelly and Deviation Master override pairing to create a damage feedback loop. This setup allows you to focus on hitting your vortex triggers while the feedback loop inflicts damage.
Tips for Playing the Build
Though this build is intuitive to play, here are some tips to maximize your performance:
- Start fights with the DE.50 Wildfire to mark enemies with Bull’s Eye.
- Deploy Polar Jelly early to increase damage and distract enemies.
- Fire with Abyss Glance until the Frost Vortex activates, then reposition to keep foes in the zone.
- Use Frozen Pike for healing and consistent vortex procs in close combat.
- Maintain high HP and avoid taking damage to get full value from Bastille and Covered Advance perks.
The Frost Vortex build in *Once Human* is all about controlling space and punishing enemies who get too close. With the right setup, you’ll turn every battlefield into a frozen wasteland where enemies have no chance to escape. And for the smoothest gameplay and sharpest visuals, remember to enjoy *Once Human* on PC with BlueStacks—it’s the best way to bring this icy build to life.
