If you enjoy transforming enemies into frozen statues, the Frost Vortex build in Once Human offers the perfect chilling playstyle. Designed for superior area control and sustained elemental damage, this setup specializes in immobilizing enemies with relentless frost effects - whether facing swarms of mobs or challenging bosses. You'll create deadly frozen zones where opponents remain trapped, slowed, and systematically shattered by accumulating frost damage.
While spectacular ice explosions form a key visual element in this action game, an effective Frost Vortex build requires careful coordination of equipment, weapons, and perks for consistent vortex activation. Our comprehensive guide covers every essential component—from optimal weapon selection to ideal armor modifications and cradle overrides—ensuring each attack brings your enemies closer to their frozen demise.

Strategic Overrides for Maximum Efficiency
The Polar Jelly and Deviation Master override combination creates a powerful damage cycle. This synergistic pairing lets you concentrate on triggering vortex effects while the automatic feedback loop continuously damages enemies.
