Cold Damage

Tooltip

Cold damage is one of the five Damage Types.The damage types are Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning and Chaos. It is reduced by Cold Resistance.Resistances reduce damage taken of the corresponding damage type — Fire, Cold, Lightning or Chaos — up to a Maximum. Fire, Cold and Lightning Resistances are Elemental Resistances. Resistances can be improved with Equipment, Passives & Quest items.

Your Elemental Resistances are lowered as you progress through the game. Elemental Resistances are a vital defensive tool, and should be one of the first things to check if you're having difficulty surviving. Cold hits apply ChillChill is an Ailment that Slows the afflicted target, and lasts 2 seconds on players or 8 seconds on non-players by default. Chill Magnitude depends on the Chilling damage dealt relative to the target's Elemental Ailment Threshold, with a minimum of 30% and a default maximum of 50%.

Cold damage from Hits can Chill by default, and does not require a chance to inflict Chill. However, Chills smaller than 30% will be ignored, so small Hits can fail to Chill. and build up Freeze,Freeze is an Ailment that causes targets to be unable to move or act, and lasts 4 seconds by default.

Cold damage from Hits Contributes to Freeze Buildup on enemies until they become Frozen. but cannot build up Heavy Stun.Heavy Stuns occur when a target's Stun bar is filled, interrupts the target's current action and prevent them from taking actions for a few seconds. Hits cause Heavy Stun buildup based on the damage dealt. Players and their Minions usually cannot be Heavily Stunned, but players can receive Heavy Stun buildup where specifically mentioned while taking specific actions (such as raising their Shield, Parrying with a Buckler, or riding a mount).

While an enemy is Heavy Stunned, they cannot act and count as Immobilised. It will also be harder to Heavy Stun them again for a short time afterwards.

Physical damage, and player (but not monster) Melee Damage, each cause 50% more Heavy Stun buildup. For players, these bonuses are multiplicative with each other.

Cold damage is one of the five damage types, and one of the three types of elemental damage. It can be mitigated by cold resistance. Cold damage can inflict chill and inflict freeze buildup.

Cold damage over time is usually inflicted by ground effects such as vortexes.

Mechanics

Cold damage modifiers usually deals lower average damage compared to fire damage, but typically has a higher critical hit chance, and can inherently inflict chill and freeze buildup, two slow and crowd control effects.
