Diablo 4 [Random] Aspect of Piercing Cold

Aspect of Piercing Cold is an Offensive Legendary Aspect for Sorcerer in Diablo 4. It modifies Ice Shards to pierce up to 10 enemies, with each subsequent hit dealing 4–10% more damage, enabling multi-target scaling, freeze synergy, and elite denial in Frost-centric builds.

“Let the shards sharpen with each strike."

Note: This Aspect was reworked in Patch 2.0.5. Previously, Ice Shards dealt reduced damage per pierce; now they scale upward, rewarding multi-hit chains.
