How to play it

- 2Cast the Ultimate before heavy enemy damage or before Yanqing's shield expires.
- 3Use the Skill only when a timely Freeze is worth its point and effect-chance risk.

Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Prydwen's build baseline is 3.6 and Icy Veins confirms the same DEF/SPD/Energy core. Self-Enshrouded Recluse was already available in 3.6 and was re-evaluated, not introduced, during this 4.4 review. The published compare begins at 4.0, so earlier history was not inferred; the exact 4.4 snapshot verified every current effect and ID.
