Usage Strategies

• Can be used as a high damage Champion killer with 2 Ice Bullets mods. Ice damage can also cause Freeze, a slowing debuff to enemies.
• Use as a low damage normal mob killer with 2 extra Ricochet mods. Each ricochet is a chance to hit an additional opponent, so by taking both mods, three enemies may be hit by a single shot.
• Work to get the regen time very low (it's helpful to take the Speed Shot gold mod) and it can be spammed.
• For the most versatility, suggested modifications are Ice Bullets - Ricochet - Speed Shot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Can become quite powerful with the correct modifications
• Versatile

Cons

• The bullet does not move very fast, and can sometimes miss if an enemy moves out of the way. This applies to the ricochets as well.
• The bounce can be somewhat unpredictable, sometimes bouncing to distant enemies and drawing their attention.
