Path of Exile 2 Herald of Ice Mechanic FAQs

What qualifies as a Shatter for Herald of Ice?

Shatter occurs when a Cold-based critical hit kills a frozen enemy. Only non-Herald attacks that meet this condition will trigger the explosion.

Can Herald of Ice explosions overlap or chain?

Yes. Multiple enemies that Shatter simultaneously can each trigger their own explosion, creating overlapping AoE bursts.

Does the explosion scale with Cold or AoE modifiers?

Absolutely. Cold Damage, Elemental Damage, and Area of Effect modifiers all enhance the explosion's damage and radius.

Can Herald of Ice be triggered by Herald skills or spells?

No. Only non-Herald attacks can trigger the Shatter explosion. Spells and Herald-based damage do not qualify.

Does the explosion benefit from critical strike or freeze duration modifiers?

Indirectly. Longer freeze duration increases the chance of Shatter, and critical strike modifiers help ensure enemies are frozen before death.
