Kaltenhalt Ridged Buckler FAQs

How does stun-to-freeze conversion work for Parry?

Any modifiers that increase stun buildup will instead increase freeze buildup when using Parry, allowing cold-based control effects.

What does “100% of Parry Physical Damage Converted to Cold" mean?

All physical damage dealt by Parry is converted into cold damage, enabling synergy with cold scaling and freeze mechanics.

What is Cold Thorns damage?

Cold Thorns reflect a fixed amount of cold damage to attackers, adding passive retaliation to your defenses.

Is this item viable for bossing or mapping?

Yes. Its freeze buildup and cold conversion make it strong for controlling enemies, while evasion and resistance support survivability.

Can this item be used with non-Parry skills?

Yes, but its core benefits are tied to Parry. Other shield skills won't benefit from the stun-to-freeze or damage conversion effects.
