    NoobiexD Hello
    I've heard that Goddess eq doesn't affect ex skill so I'm wondering which of the 3 is best to use.

      First off, all the skills are naturally ex-enhanced so if it doesn't work, than there's a huge issue. So I can say for sure it works and affect all ex skills. What you're thinking/heard is most likely about the future patch content about "Dream Jade". Dream Jade affects FF EX specifically and will not affect FF EXI. With that being said, goddess affects base skills so all variants (aka EX, EXI) are all affected.

      Honestly as of the moment, I would say the top contenders are either Icy Shards/Frozen Spikes > Freezing Field > Chilling Mist. Both for helmet and for shoes. Reason being, Chilling Mist has the lowest DPS among the 4 skills. FF is in a weird spot where it may be higher or lower depending on the frequency of FF EXI and bossing duration. Icy Shards and Frozen Spikes are both the top damaging skills of Elestra. Icy Shards is more suited towards burst type content where you quickly use all 3 charges to deal high amount of burst damage in content where boss dies fast or has small hit box such as FDN S1-S3, most nest bosses, cloister bosses. Frozen Spikes has higher sustained damage only if you can easily hit the boss the full hits and provided the boss doesn't die in 10 seconds such as Dragons, big bosses.

      However with the changes of Dream Jade coming, I feel that with high enhancement of Dream Jade (increase skill atk of FF), FF might be potentially better than Icy Shards due to the high damage from not only normal FF, but FF EXI (Yes FF EXI will not get affected with Dream Jade bonus effect but enhanced Dream Jade affects the base skill itself meaning FF EXI will do more damage). It's honestly a toss up and I would say for now Frozen Spikes would be the best option.

      PS. I seriously hate you cause you have all 3 shoes. Just recently did 1k cloister feat and I didn't get a damm shoe... Yes, I am salty

              Hard to say until I can properly test it. Cyclone consuming more bubbles per cast means less time casting and thus more time to do other things. But the duration decreased might result in lower overall damage.

              wow. this is amazing. getting tired of casting it 5x in a row. hehe.
              We can also fill up the bar quickly so I hope this change is good.

              Well certainly, this is a huge improvement because less time casting cyclone = more time to do more dps with other skills. But this require Freezing Field Jade because without it, bubble generation is extremely slow.

            BDN TA video has finally been released way later than what I personally wanted~

            More details such as the new Eclipse Jade for Chilling Mist and Ice Cyclone buffs will be covered when it comes to DN SEA

                Sorry for the super late reply.

                It is definitely a very welcomed buff for Elestra with potentially skyrocketing DPS. However, I will refrain from commenting much until it is officially released in SEA. Look forward to the updates~!

                    I have yet to obtain it (not going to spend 150kg on it for obvious reasons) so I will refrain from commenting till I have definitive testing.

                    Will update the guide with blood moon jade, goddess heraldry and ice cyclone nerf as soon as possible

                      Hi all, at long last, I have finally obtained blood moon jade and do some preliminary testing on it.

                      Comparison video testing can be found @


                      I have also updated the guide under skill jade section to reflect which is better as well as the Ice Cyclone nerf.

                      For a tl;dr,

                      Ice Cyclone is nerf due to lessen duration resulting in lower overall damage compared to previous max Ice Cyclone damage and having the old and clunky casting animation. However, you have the freedom to cast and do other things compared to having to stand there for 3 seconds to cast 5 cyclones.

                      I feel that both jades are equally strong (Freezing Field being slightly weaker due to Ice Cyclone nerf) and have their strength and use.

                      When to use Frozen Field Jade
                      General usage, Dungeons, Nests, Push! Crystal Stage, Contents with multiple monsters, Longer fights

                      When to use Frozen Field Jade
                      Boss with small DPS window (especially raid), Shorter fights

                      Once again, this are preliminary testing and subjected to change upon enhancing Blood Moon Jade and with the upcoming Elestra buffs.

                        TL;DR of the buff. Will gonna need some time to upload new skill details and testing. This is based off the numbers provided so it may be wrong. For the more accurate numbers, refer to the skill breakdown section

                        333% -> 2363%

                        Frozen Spikes EX
                        Total: 8360% -> 12380%
                        Ice Barrier CD: 8.4 seconds -> 7.7 seconds

                        Chilling Mist
                        Ice Barrier CD: 29 seconds -> 24.5 seconds

                        Ice Sphere
                        Total damage: 2408% -> 6888% (assuming same 56 hits as current and excluding the ball hit itself, pending test)

                        Icy Shard EX
                        Total: 14976% -> 16974%

                        Ice Barrier EX
                        Now reduces Glacial Spike CD
                        Class Mastery 3 CD: 5.8 seconds

                        Ice Cyclone
                        Bubble consumption reduce to 15 per cast. Spammable again.

                        Blizzard Storm
                        9801% -> 32676%

                        [Awakened Passive] Frostbite Mastery
                        25% -> 30%
