Frost Relic

The Frost Relic is an item in Risk of Rain that encircles the player in three particles which rotate around the player while moving towards and away from him. They damage nearby enemies. The particles pierce an unknown amount of times.

Character Synergies

 * Any Melee-based character will benefit from Frost Relic, as they will often find themselves in close combat situations. Melee Characters include Acrid, Loader, Mercenary, Miner, and HAN-D.

Item Synergies

 * The icicles can Crit. Therefore, picking up items like Lens-Maker's Glasses, Harvester's Scythe, etc., is a smart idea, and will double its damage.
 * Combining the Tesla Coil with the Frost Relic creates a good combo for getting rid of swarms of small enemies from below (ie: near the top of a rope/ladder). The electricity kills a few enemies, which generates icicles, which then grinds the enemies to a pulp, further fueling the icicle generation.
