Frozen Locus is a Cold-based melee attack in Path of Exile 2 that summons an Ice Crystal by leaping backward and striking the ground. The crystal creates Chilled Ground and explodes when destroyed, dealing Cold damage in an area.
"Leap backward and crack the ground with your staff to call forth an Ice Crystal, which creates Chilled Ground around it and can be damaged by you and enemies. If the Crystal is destroyed it causes an icy explosion that deals Attack damage but does not use your weapon's damage."
Note: Purchasing this item, you will receive a level 21 Frozen Locus gem with 5 Support Sockets.
