What do I need for the Eternal Frost Lotus build?
Whiteshadow (Blizzard Blademaster), Freezing Chaos (Yucong, No. 34 Twisted Puppet), Hunter’s Chain Sickle, Ink Cut, at least the Acolyte Icicle and Feather Fan Plume accessories, and the Ritual Wine and Lament Draught medicines. The “How to get all the gear” table shows where each piece is.
From when can I use Eternal Frost Lotus?
From the Encampment, Meigu, Imprisonment and Estate stage, which is when you have the weapons, the Phantom Edges and the two key accessories.
Are the damage figures official?
The accessory percentages are the ones published by Vandal (Spanish guide) and SoloJugadores. The game does not show the weapons’ base damage, so the build is based on their effects.
