Cold Damage
Tooltip
Cold damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Cold Resistance. Cold hits apply Chill and build up Freeze.

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.
