Best frost build in SWORN

Build frost around Beira’s Chill and Freeze, then add Gogmagog for the Shatter duo. Armillary Sphere is one guide’s suggested carrier; Monk can use a separate Crystal Turret route.

Beira’s kit, in the words the wiki uses

Beira is the Frozen Witch. Fandom describes Chill as a slow: each stack cuts move speed and attack speed, and the cap cited on that page is 10 stacks at about 4% each. Frost Bite is the full-stack freeze. Frost Nova is the delayed burst that also applies Chill. The blessings guides repeat are Chilling Touch, Chilling Strike, Chilling Flourish, Chilling Dash, Arctic Vole and Icy Vortex.

Freeze duration and the internal cooldown are not printed as numbers on those pages. I am not filling them in.

Duos that make frost a build

The pairing people mean by a frost build is usually Shatter: Beira plus Gogmagog, listed as +400 damage against a frozen target. Flash Freeze is Beira plus Lugh, described as a chance to freeze outright. Nova Surge is Beira plus Oberon and is said to turn Frost Nova into three pulses. Icy Hot is Beira plus Titania. Eternal Sting is Beira plus Mab. Those five names come from the Fandom duo tables, and Shatter’s damage figure is the one ProGameGuides repeats in the weapon tier notes.

Weapon notes from that same tier list: Armillary Sphere is called out as able to keep a freeze up, Chimes and Claws are named as comfortable carriers, and Monk’s Crystal Turret shows up in freeze clips. Sovereign difficulty, in the ProGameGuides build piece, is described as wanting control before raw damage, which is why Shatter is the row they point at.

How to read this page

This is an archetype, not a character guide. Vigilante, Monk, Rook and Spectre can all take Beira. The Monk turret section is the only character-specific freeze path with its own search volume. Open the planner, pick Beira and Gogmagog, and the Shatter row should light up from the duo table.

FAQ

What Fae is the frost build?

Beira. Shatter, the duo most often cited with a freeze plan, also needs Gogmagog.

Which weapon freezes best?

ProGameGuides names Armillary Sphere for holding Freeze, and also mentions Chimes, Claws and Monk turrets. That is one guide’s note for v1.2.
