The 45% CDR freeze-engine. Hard-cap CDR (Clock 10 + LT 10 + Talisman 15 + Mage 5 + Inspire 5, Talisman extends the cap by 5): Hailstone 2.75s, Frosty Breeze 5.5s, Frigid Glacier 27.5s - the kit stops being freeze-when-both-skills-are-up and becomes freeze-every-3-seconds: her 74-mid control identity, not her burst. Enchanted Talisman: the mana economy (15% mana per 10s) that funds the 2.75s meteorite spam. Impure Rage: each hailstone tick adds 4% max HP magic - a full Hailstone cast burns up to 24% max HP across the frontline, plus 2% mana back per proc feeding the spam. Holy Crystal kept, Divine Glaive last: the role is control plus tempo, glacial shatter zones punish grouped drafts where the flat amp out-values single-target pen. Bargain Hunter pulls the 3000g Holy Crystal early. 6th slot Divine Glaive: 20% conversion vs MR-stack walls - the freeze follow-up kills.

Counter Builds
Vs Aurora: her freeze chains across her skill hits - punish the gaps between casts, and force her to split Hailstone across targets in waves. Her Pride of Ice revive is a 150s cooldown: if she pops it in a skirmish, re-engage within 90 seconds - she is killable twice, and Winter Crown is her third life if she built it. Her 55-early is the weakest mage curve - pressure the lane. Yve-type range zones her out (her listed counter); Lancelot and Gatotkaca dives punish her channels. Lolita, Chip and Masha drafts are her food.
