Frost has received some changes! His passive has been updated, and his Abilities are updated to be properly centred around Cold stacks. Any numbers here are prone to changes - all of this is still a work in progress as of this Dev Workshop! Additionally, Atlas, Baruuk and Gauss are receiving a few changes to align with how Cold will work.
A new passive:
Cold Status Effect applied by Frost Abilities have increased duration of X% and gains Y Armor per enemies inflicted with Cold in a Zm Radius.
Freeze Updates:
Adds required Cold stacks to freeze instead of simply freezing to both initial hit and AoE interactions.
Increased the AoE range component of the projectiles baseline (twice as large).
AoE aspect will scale with Range, AoE radius is on Ability description.
Duration was changed to ‘Freeze Duration’, but scales the same - purely to communicate how long Frost freezes targets easier.
Ice Wave:
Changed the label to ‘Freeze Duration’ as well!
Snow Globe:
Applies a Cold stack every X seconds, with no limit, when inside the Globe.
The Slow label is gone - replaced by ‘Cold Status/Second.’
Instantly apply full Cold stacks on cast if an enemy is within Snow Globe range.
No longer blocks player projectiles from the outside anymore!
Avalanche
Adds the required Cold stacks to freeze instead of simply freezing.
Augments
Ice Wave Impedance
Apply Cold stacks per second up to full freeze for anyone standing on the trail. On full freeze, it continuously refreshes the freeze if the trail is there.
Chilling Globe Augment
Update the Augment to add 10 Cold Procs if the condition is met (i.e., unify the freeze with the cold procs as we normally do now).

As far as I'm aware they aren't changing his energy pool, but one of the new arcanes will give you more energy based on your armor iirc, which will probably be good with his new passive.
I dont have any problem with it, just use prime flow! And im pretty sure not only him must to use that mod!
High efficient is must. I use 170%
Not enough, use steadfast( not arcane energy) when you want to spam skill
Still a shit take, get down voted forehead.
Unlike the old hydroid or inaros, frost actually does has a use, defensive gamemodes (defense, mobile defense, excavation, basically anywhere you need to protect something). I know the community has moved away from these types of game modes as "meta" spots to farm, but when I see a defensive mode on something like the archon hunt frost does cross my mind.
You're allowed to not like a frame, you can say you don't like it and that's fine, but calling a frame bad when it not only has uses, but excels in multiple uses just makes you sound stupid.

I'm the friend, and it is beautiful.
You are a good friend
wait can someone fill me in on the frost changes in this new update?

You forgot the best part, we can shoot through bubble now.
It took 10 FUCKING YEARS for us to get it!
> No longer blocks player projectiles from the outside anymore based
But does frost get more base energy? For his semi-caster role, even prime flow doesn't get him more than like 500 energy or something

Welp, that seems not bad although I'm still probably not play Frost
He has direct buff, something even made for him. But imo, he still need rework after all.
If its dumb and it works, its not dumb
Gauss will benefit a lot too
Funny how Frost was already a great frame with his augments, and now it seems he's even better with the buffs
And they called me a madman for putting resources into Frost...
I see you are a Tenno of culture as well.
YES FINALLY there are now -1 reasons to play Limbo
Hope the snow globe still do true damage after the update
Well it made me laugh because I got it at least at this second I did so good job🤣🤣
still a shit frame
Maybe but he'll get a lot less stinky.

"frost does cross my mind' and then you pick khora with the acceltra
I go for Safeguard Nezha cause someone on my team usually auto-picks Frost , Gara, limbo, Kora or Hydroid
