'''Herald of Ice''' is a [[buff]] [[skill]] that while active causes enemies killed by the player to [[shatter]] and explode, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
'''Herald of Ice''' is a [[persistent]] [[herald]] [[buff]] [[skill]]. While under the effects of the [[buff]], [[shatter|shattering]] an enemy with an [[attack]] will create an icy explosion that deals [[cold damage]] in an [[area]]. This area damage cannot itself inflict [[freeze]] buildup.
