Frost Relic (Risk of Rain 2)

Not to be confused with Frost Relic from Risk of Rain.

The Frost Relic is a returning item in Risk of Rain 2. It surround the player with a circle of damaging icicles when they kill an enemy.

Since the area moves with the player and is relatively small, this item is most effective with the melee-focused Mercenary and a ramming MUL-T. Other classes tend to try and stay away from enemies, but a flame-spewing Artificer make good use of this as well.

As with most items, the Engineers Auto-Turret will inherit this item and surround themselves with icicles.

The Huntress may want to pass this pickup to a more suitable friend, as her ranged abilities and fragile nature encourage her to keep her distance from enemies.
