Slow Death Freeze
MediumAoETankProcFreeze, stun and bleed. Snapfreeze locks a pack in place, Nano-Spear freezes and executes what's left below 30% health, and Tri-Tip Dagger and Stun Grenade stack on top. Flamethrower then burns the frozen crowd safely.

Equipment
Primordial CubePrimordial Cube pulls enemies into the pile before Snapfreeze.
Blast ShowerBlast Shower clears stuns and freezes if something catches you.
Why the core items
Tri-Tip DaggerTri-Tip Dagger gets many rolls from Plasma Bolt and the Flamethrower's constant ticks.
Stun GrenadeStun Grenade adds a 5% chance to stun per stack, so you keep control of enemies that slip out of a freeze.
Backup MagazineBackup Magazine adds Nano-Spear charges. More freezes mean more executes.
Hardlight AfterburnerHardlight Afterburner adds two Snapfreeze charges and cuts its 12-second cooldown by a third.
How to play it
- Snapfreeze and Nano-Spear don't freeze most bosses. The exceptions are the Void Devastator and False Son, so against others treat Snapfreeze as damage.
- Burning enemies can be frozen without being extinguished, and frozen enemies still burn. Freeze first, then use Flamethrower.
