Freezing Effect Negates Double Damage?!

[ok_hand 95]

Am I reading this correctly??? In the Wiki it says, "«Boosted Damage» on a frozen player stays active, but has no effect on damage." Does this mean a frozen tank with double damage 20/20 Crisis DOES NOT deal 100% supply damage and an additional 60% bonus damage, meaning they deal NO bonus damage???

Yes, since December 3, 2021 in the patch update, 671  this change was applied to the "freezing status effect", disabling all boosted damage effects

Yep, it means your Double damage icon  will show till it exhausts. But you deal only default damage, as in the the damage without <<Double damage>> supply. 

To specify even more, if you are hit with freezing status effect, your double damage supply is suppressed till the frost wears off. The supply remains active but not its effect.

how does this not make freeze op or at the very least the best melee turret...? it's basically a budget emp. freezing augments on other turrets are ok 'cause it takes crits, but freeze is guaranteed (if you don't use corrosive mix).

It is one of the factors that makes it a top melee turret, yes. And the Devs have said in early 2023 that Freeze was the top turret for gaining exp/crystals. Things could have changed since then though. 

Freeze is the easiest melee to do well with.

This feature should be removed, freeze is OP enough and many new players won't know this feature and the worst thing is how are they going to know it since it's not a status effect, should be removed immediately!

hiding features from in-game behind a wiki is stupid
