The Snow Globe Frost Build will be extremely helpful in defense or excavation mission and survival missions. But the fact is, you can use this Frost build in almost every type of mission. It is possible to remove and detonate your snow globes by using your first ability on it from the outside which is extremely useful to remove the unwanted spheres. It is possible to have upto four snow globes at a time. If you recast your third ability inside your snowball and these extra globes doesn’t come under the count of those four snow spheres. If you use this frost build you need to cast it five times to get the maximum health pool.
It is quite a straight forward build, as it stacks it with the strength and extra armor to get a lot of Snow globe health. The Stretch can be used to cover up the range in excavator missions. But sometimes you may need some extra range, so it is better to switch in with Overextended instead of Stretch. Switching Augur Secrets or Redirection instead of Primed Flow or Fleeting Expertise will help you to deal with energy pool.
