Frostbite! is a melee attack contact effect which provides a temporary major speed debuff to an enemy unit when hit. It is the classic slow melee attack effect.

As a contact effect, it only triggers when the blow is successful and actually lands on enemies. However, as long as the attack is successful, frostbite will always trigger, cannot be negated by resistances of any sort, does not stack and can be constantly refreshed.

References to frostbite usually include frostbite and frostbite! with an exclamation mark (!). The effect is called frostbite! and the attack is imbued with the frostbite effect.
