[Build] Survive or Die Frost

Frost just got reworked in U17 and is now even more viable as an area control frame especially against the infested.

The build focuses on the use of Snow Globe and the augment, Chilling Globe to control areas near the defense objective or the pod.

The Basic Concept of the Build

The focus of the build is to stack as much Range as you can to give you and your team wiggle room in the Snow Globe. Since this is an infested build, it's important to make sure that you are never FORCED to up close if you do not want to.

Another focus is to stack Duration to make the effect of your Chilling Globe last. The base duration is 8 seconds (100%) the more Duration you have the longer it will last. Since it activates 50% of the time, it will definitely help control the amounts of infested streaming into the Snow Globe.

Avoid sacrificing Range for Duration as in using Narrow Minded since it limits the area you can maneuver in.

The Build

The Strategy

Cast a Snow Globe around the Pod and at the entrance to the pod area. Place them as close as possible with as little overlap as possible.

If your team is getting overwhelmed, recast globe to push the enemies back.

Refresh Snow Globe at the start of every round to be safe.

Why It Works

Slow is already an effective means to control the infested, add a 50% chance to freeze for 8 seconds or more and you'll definitely be in charge of the battle.

The Snow Globe also works to prevent your team mates from being harpooned by Ancients from the outside. Another is it prevents the sludge that the infested MOAs sling from hitting the Pod.

Warframe powers also pass through the Snow Globe, which makes it east for AOE frames, even Excalibur to deal damage from a safe Distance.

Who to Team With

Fast Nova
Miasma Saryn
WoF Ember
Eternal War Valkyr
Exalted Excal
BS Ash

The frames above will help deal with the infested as they get in, keeping the Pod safe.

Gear

Bring a weapon with a Syndicate radial effect. I used Hek in my run. I would also recommend Furis. Just avoid getting into Melee Range especially because these guys are hard hitters.

Notes

Gorgon Wraith is a Nightmare alert and I assume the rest will also be Nightmare alerts. Be mindful of this fact and which penalty you will get. We got "No Shields" in the team I joined and we did okay. Don't be afraid to abort the mission if you get something nasty.

Good luck and Enjoy the Challenges!
