Frostbite is one of the few status effects that players can inflict in Elden Ring on enemies through various mediums. Unlike the bleed status effect, frostbite is not very potent.

However, it comes in handy as a support buff that can be used alongside other major buffs to stack multiple status effects on your enemies. Frostbite, just like every other buff, can be applied by using spells, skills, or weapon passives.

It ultimately depends on the user on what they want to play with as the build variety, though frostbite is quite good within Elden Ring. Frostbite, when combined with something like bleed, gives out enormous damage output, and bosses get deleted from the same.

Therefore, players should try to look for some of the best frostbite spells and skills that are available in Elden Ring.


Every frostbite spell and skills that Elden Ring players should consider chasing

1.Hoarfrost Stomp

This is a frostbite-inflicting weapon skill that can be obtained by players within Elden Ring. When used, Hoarfrost Stomp releases a carpet of ice shards in front of the player that deals decent damage to enemies.

This skill is extremely good for dealing with enemy mobs and can do some good damage to bosses as well. Before patch 1.03, it was a boss slayer as this skill was a must-have for all speedrun strategies.

However, FromSoftware nerfed it quite badly, which led to the overall power of the skill getting diminished.

2. Chilling Mist

This is another weapon skill that can inflict frostbite in Elden Ring. When used, players will coat their weapon with frost and then slash it forward to release a cold mist in front of themselves.

This coating, as expected, will not affect any other buffs that players might be having on their weapons (bleed, poison, rot). Hence, players will have no issues with stacking the same.

While this skill is decent in PVE content, it works like a charm in PVP, as players can use it to zone out their enemies.

3. Ice Spear

Ice Spear is arguably one of the most powerful skills for inflicting frostbite in the game. In fact, this is a skill that can be used to deal damage, and it works better than a lot of sorceries in the game.

When used, players will spin their weapons and create cold magic. Then the same cold magic will get channeled into a powerful spear that can absolutely destroy enemies with one hit.

Apart from that, the stat investment for this skill is also quite low, which means a lot of players can use it with ease.

4. Adula's Moonblade

Adula's Moonblade is arguably one of the best sorceries available to players in the game. This sorcery basically creates a magical sword that can be used to land slashing hits on enemies.

It is meant for mages as the spell has a 32 intelligence requirement. However, the reason why it is so good is because of the damage. When used with Lusat's Glintstone Staff and Snow Witch Hat, combined with sorcery-enhancing talismans, this spell can deal somewhere around four thousand damage.

Apart from that, only three hits are enough to inflict frostbite, which is quite fast compared to several other spells or skills in the game.

5. Glintstone Icecrag

This is another powerful sorcery in the game that can inflict frostbite quite effectively. Glintstone Icecrag has good damage, requires only 15 intelligence to use and costs only 12 FP. In fact, this spell can destroy someone like Radagon quite effectively in the game.

The only issue with this spell is that its range is pretty bad in Elden Ring. In fact, players will have to figure out a way to distract the boss before using it, though the damage output makes it worth the effort.
