Glacial Waltz
Last updated 2026-09-10
A winsome smile, genial words, and the merciless hoarfrost that lies beneath... These are all Kaeya's weapons.
Glacial Waltz is Kaeya's Elemental Burst.
Gameplay Notes
- This Elemental Burst drains energy later than most others.[1]
- Once an icicle deals DMG, it has a 0.5s cooldown before being able to deal DMG to the same target again.
- It can deal DMG more than once per rotation if its hitbox remains in contact with an enemy for more than 0.5s.
- Glacial Waltz can hit ~15 times across the initial burst, icicle rotations and final icicle explosions.
- Icicle damage will snapshot Kaeya's stats on cast and will not be affected by changes in his stats that occur afterwards.
- Constellation Effects
- Constellation Level 2,
Never-Ending Performance: Glacial Waltz's duration is extended by 2.5 seconds for each enemy defeated during its duration, up to a maximum duration of 15 seconds at three enemies defeated. - Constellation Level 5,
Frostbiting Embrace: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15. - Constellation Level 6,
Glacial Whirlwind: "Glacial Waltz will generate 1 additional icicle, and will regenerate 15 Energy when cast."
