- Shatter: 16.00
- Charge: 12.00
- Attack: 19
- Crit: 13
- HP: 1165
Element Type Force Impact (Ice & Volt): When the weapon is fully charged, the next attack applies Force Impact on the enemy for 45 seconds, increasing their frost and volt damage taken by 10% (and an additional 15% in team play).
Force Impact replaces the target's grievous status, and targets with Force Impact cannot become grievous.
Frost attacks will freeze targets with Forces Impact for 2 seconds, and volt attacks will remove the target's buffs. This effect can only trigger 1 time every 15 seconds on the same target.
Elemental Resonance Fusion of Volt and Frost: When the weapon deals damage, the damage is calculated using the highest equipped volt/frost base ATK, the highest equipped volt/frost ATK percentage, and the highest equipped volt/frost damage boost, and the weapon is considered both a volt and frost weapon.
Elemental Volt Resonance: Increase volt ATK by 15% and volt resistance by 25%. Activate by equipping 2 or more Volt weapons. This set effect works in the off-hand slot. Cannot stack with other Volt Resonance or Volt Reaction effects, with Volt Resonance taking precedence.
Elemental Frost Resonance: Increase frost ATK by 15% and frost resistance by 25%. Activate by equipping 2 or more Frost weapons. This set effect works in the off-hand slot. Cannot stack with other Frost Resonance or Frost Reaction effects, with Frost Resonance taking precedence.

Can be triggered up to 1 time every 1.5 seconds. Chilling Strike damage counts as normal attack damage. If there is 1 physical or flame weapon of any kind equipped, Chilling Strike damage is multiplied by 1.3.
In addition, Chilling Strike damage is not affected by any damage boost effects except from titan equipment's rare stats, and won't trigger additional attack effects.

Use normal attack to immediately exit Permeation.
- 4★: Increase the current weapon's base ATK growth by 32%.
- 5★: Increase Ice Core Detonation damage by 150%. After Fixate tosses the weapon and hits a target, places Snow Trace on the target for 5 seconds (triggered by the charged attack damage from Fixate).
