Game data
Frost → Transmutation: Freeze
Room control, safer boss windows, and players who want an elemental route with a visible trigger.
Marcus is the practical first test because extra shots create more Freeze attempts. The Shatter category page remains the reference for the current weapon and relic facts.
Frost
Boss job / Crowd job / Pivot rule
Freeze can buy a safer damage window, while Frost Fist and Hanged Man's Rope need the trigger to happen for their value to be real.
Frost has a clear room-control job. If it is slower than the current volley, keep the reliable weapon and add Frost only when it is already appearing often.
If Frost support never arrives, keep Physical or Lightning uptime. Do not call a run Shatter before Freeze is actually being produced.

Hunter Marcus
Start with a Frost weapon, keep the extra-shot engine readable, and add Shatter relics only after Freeze is repeating.
If the core misses If no Frost weapon appears, keep the physical Marcus route and treat the run as Physical until the element changes for real.

Hanged Man's Rope
Converts every [Shatter] you trigger into a permanent 3% Final Damage increase. If your run leans on breaking spare relics for value, this rope quietly compounds into one of the biggest global multipliers you can own.

Eye of Deep Winter
Turns your ultimate into a [Destination] engine: after the glacier's frost nuke lands, every [Destination] effect you own fires again. Stack destination relics and each ultimate cast becomes a full payday — this is a relic worth reshaping the whole build around.
