Absolute Zero Overview

The Absolute Zero Transcendent module is exclusive to Viessa’s Ultimate version. Its main feature is the ability to generate Ice Spears when your skills critically hit enemies. These Ice Spears fly towards nearby enemies, dealing significant damage on impact and causing burst damage to surrounding targets. The sheer numbers you can achieve with this build are astounding, with critical hits easily reaching over 200,000 damage, even without shooting your weapon.
Key Effects:
- Critical Hits: When a skill critically hits, it triggers the Ice Spear effect.
- Ice Spears: These spears seek out enemies, dealing direct and burst damage upon impact.
- Frostbite: Instead of Ice Shackle, critically hitting with a skill now inflicts Frostbite, further enhancing your damage output.

Playstyle and Strategy
Mobbing
When mobbing, the focus is on spamming skills to trigger as many Ice Spears as possible. The build provides a good balance between skill power and survivability, allowing you to take down waves of enemies efficiently. The low cooldowns mean you can keep skills cycling, maintaining high damage output without relying heavily on weapon fire.
Bossing
For boss encounters, Cold Bloodiness is still the preferred choice due to its consistency and focused damage output. However, if you prefer the Ice Spear mechanic, Absolute Zero can still perform well, especially if you tailor your build to enhance single-target damage.
Absolute Zero is a game-changing module for Viessa’s Ultimate version. It allows you to turn what was once a crowd-control-focused skill set into a high-damage, crit-focused powerhouse. While it may require some farming and experimentation with different builds, the payoff is well worth it.
