Ascension Passives

Passive

Hidden Strength

Decreases sprinting Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%.
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Ascension 1

Cold-Blooded Strike

Every hit with Frostgnaw regenerates HP for Kaeya equal to 15% of his ATK.

Ascension 4

Glacial Heart

Opponents Frozen by Frostgnaw will drop additional Elemental Particles.
Frostgnaw may only produce a maximum of 2 additional Elemental Particles per use.

Notes

• This applies even if the target is already Frozen
• The amount of additional Particles generated by Kaeya's A4 depends on the number of enemies hit. Hitting 1 enemy generates 1 additional Particle and hitting 2 (or more) enemies generates 2 additional Particles.
• This Ascension Passive will not work on Boss and Trounce Domain enemies, but will work on Cryo abyss mages.
