Diablo 4 Chilled Explained
In Diablo 4, Chilled serves as a debuff predominantly used by Rogues and Sorcerers, as well as certain enemies encountered throughout the game. Its primary purpose is to significantly reduce the movement speed of the target. But apply enough stacks of Chill to the same target, and they will become Frozen, rendering them unable to move or attack. It’s worth noting that enemies can also inflict Chill and Frozen effects on your character, but you can break free from them by becoming Unstoppable.
The Chilled effect can be inflicted on targets by casting various class-specific Skills or by fulfilling specific conditions with certain Legendary Aspects equipped. In the following section, let’s delve into the particular Skills and Aspects that can trigger the Chilling effect.
