Frost Relic

The Frost Relic is a returning item in Risk of Rain 2.

It deals 300% character Damage every 0.25 seconds, with a Proc Coefficient of 0.2. The radius increases by 1 unit for every kill before reaching a maximum of 6 units, at which point it will no longer grow. The maximum can be increased by stacking the item.

This item can usually be overlooked by most ranged classes, but it can be very useful to pick up as or. The radius is very low and is essentially a direct upgrade to melee DPS, though one will need to be careful not to run into any clay pots or barrels with it active, as the damage will cause them to explode and likely kill or seriously injure the player.

Trivia

 * The Frost Relic was actually an uncommon item in Risk of Rain 1.
