	Frost Nova bursts a ring of frost around the caster that can freeze every nearby enemy in place, opening room to escape or reposition.
			'''Frost Nova''' bursts a ring of frost around the caster that damages and can freeze every nearby enemy in place, opening room to escape or reposition.

	== Overview ==		== Overview ==
	Frost Nova is a crowd-control and escape tool at the heart of the Frost (Water) branch. It is a custom version of the classic skill with an enlarged 7×7 ~~radius~~. Its value ~~is not~~ damage ~~but lockdown~~: freezing the enemies around the caster so a fragile Wizard ~~can~~ buy space and time, peel a crowd off an ally, or break free of a bad position. ~~Maxing~~ it unlocks the High Wizard skill [[Ice Block]].
			Frost Nova is the crowd-control and escape tool at the heart of the Frost (Water) branch. This is a custom version of the classic skill, with an enlarged 7×7 area, a flat SP cost, and a much shorter cast time. Its value lies in lockdown rather than raw damage: freezing the enemies around the caster lets a fragile Wizard buy space and time, peel a crowd off an ally, or break free of a bad position. Learning it to Level 3 unlocks the High Wizard skill [[Ice Block]].

	== Mechanics ==		== Mechanics ==
	~~The skill is centered on the caster and affects all enemies within the 7×7 area.~~

	The ~~point of the skill~~ is the ~~mass freeze: each enemy hit can be locked in the Frozen state. For a player~~ caster ~~the chance is 33 + 5 × SkillLv % (38% at Level 1 to 58% at Level 5),~~ and ~~the Frozen state lasts 1~~.~~5 / 3 / 4.5 / 6 / 7.5 seconds by level. Unlike the chilling Freezing from [[Frostbite]], this is the hard Frozen state, which immobilizes the target completely~~.		The spell is centered on the caster and covers a 7×7 cell area. Every enemy inside takes Water-property magic damage and rolls independently for Freeze.

	~~It also deals a modest amount of Water magic damage as a side effect.~~		* Damage: (100 + 25 × SkillLv)% MATK
			* Freeze chance: (30 + 10 × SkillLv)%
			* Freeze duration: 10 seconds at every level

	~~Damage formula: Damage = (100 + 10 × SkillLv) × 2 ÷ 3 (% of MATK)~~, ~~roughly 73%~~ at ~~Level 1 rising to 100%~~ at ~~Level 5~~.		Skill level raises both the damage and the freeze chance, while SP cost stays at 36 and freeze duration stays at 10 seconds. Higher levels also cast faster. Frozen enemies cannot move or act until the freeze ends or is broken.

	~~The long cast time means Frost Nova is best used from relative safety or after setup such as [[Ice Wall]] or [[Safety Wall]].~~		== Leveling ==

Frost Nova erupts a ring of frost around the caster, striking and freezing every enemy in a 7×7 area at once.

== Overview ==
Frost Nova is the offensive payoff of the Frost (Water) branch at Wizard tier. It is a custom version of the classic skill with an enlarged 7×7 burst, trading a long cast time for heavy area control: a single button that both damages and locks down a crowd of enemies. Maxing it unlocks the High Wizard skill [[Ice Block]].

== Mechanics ==
The burst is centered on the caster and hits all enemies within the 7×7 area.

Damage formula: Damage = (100 + 10 × SkillLv) × 2 ÷ 3 (% of MATK), roughly 73% at Level 1 rising to 100% at Level 5.

Each enemy hit can also be Frozen. For a player caster the chance is 33 + 5 × SkillLv % (38% at Level 1 to 58% at Level 5), and the Frozen state lasts 1.5 / 3 / 4.5 / 6 / 7.5 seconds by level. Unlike the chilling Freezing from [[Frostbite]], this is the hard Frozen state, which immobilizes the target completely.

The long cast time means Frost Nova is best opened from safety or after setup such as [[Ice Wall]] or [[Safety Wall]].

== Notes ==
* Frozen enemies are held in place, setting up follow-up nukes from the caster or party.
