Ice

Ice (and Frost) are two of the ten attributes in Zenless Zone Zero.

Frost

Frost is an attribute unique to Agent Hoshimi Miyabi,^[1] a Void Hunter.

Frost uses different Anomaly multipliers than Ice and its Anomaly Buildup gauge is separate from Ice's, thus allowing Frost to cause Disorder with an Ice Anomaly. Otherwise, Frost is equivalent to Ice: it is affected by Ice modifiers (e.g., Ice DMG Bonus, Ice RES, weakness and resistance to Ice, etc.) and counts as Ice for Additional Abilities.

Dealing Ice DMG to enemies accumulates Ice Anomaly Buildup, triggering the Freeze and Frostbite effects.
Freeze immobilizes enemies, preventing them from taking action for a certain period.
Shatter is activated when Freeze ends, interrupting enemy movement and dealing Ice DMG.
Frostbite increases the CRIT DMG taken by the target for a specified duration.

When designing the special effects for the Frost attribute, we wanted them to feel uncanny, intricate, and mysterious to match its fantastical background.
In terms of color, as Frost is characterized by flowing Ether turbulence, it couldn't simply be an ordinary blue. Thus, we started with an ice-blue base and incorporated various tones of magenta and indigo to create an unusual and eerie blue that is rarely seen in nature.
In terms of form, we didn't want to just mimic the usual flame-like effects. After several rounds of preliminary development on its style, we made the edges of the Frost effect more stylized and comic-like. The addition of black-and-white stars not only reflects the meaning of "star" (Hoshi) in Hoshimi Miyabi's name but also shows the unique, original style of her attacks, avoiding the impression of being merely a recolored flame or appearing flat and paper-like.
