by BrokenBuilds Editorial
Cold Snap and Defragment stack Focus until every Frost evoke walls off a boss turn. Capacitor buys extra slots; Shatter cashes out the entire orb queue against Act 3 elites.

Notes
Frost orbs scale quadratically with Focus because every passive tick benefits. Mummified Hand makes every Power free on play, so dump Defragment whenever it appears in hand. Keep one Dualcast in the deck for the Act 3 boss turn where you evoke two stacked Dark orbs (if you pivot toward Dark Nuker mid-run). Shatter remains the cashout of choice against Insatiable.
