Frozen Blast - Cylinder Upgrades

Kaeporo wrote on 2014-07-08 22:36

I just nailed a series of scary enchants back to back and now have a Frozen Windy Hurricane Cylinder.

1. Do "effective width/freezing range" upgrades/special upgrades influence the radius of Frozen Wave?
2. Which upgrade paths/special upgrades would you recommend?
3. I've been lead to believe "effective width" refers to freezing angle. Does "freezing range" increase distance or angle?

r1 w/Frozen
r1 w/Frozen and Width Upgrades
r1 w/Frozen, Width Upgrades, and R6? (radius vs range)

From what I remember before I blew up my R-type Hurricane: Effective Width normal upgrades influence the radius of the effect (freezing angle), while R-type "Freezing Range" influences the unit length of the AoE.

As for personal recommendation, I just went with S-type and max time upgrades. Going for angle just didn't seem worth it to me this time around with the advent of Elemental Wave FB. If you would rather use Elemental Wave charges on something else and/or already freeze things plenty long enough to murder them, by all means go for the increased AoE size.
