    How do you avoid freeze stacks when he does Snow Drift? I've tried several things, from moving anywhere to moving towards the wind direction (to my left side) like someone pointed on Reddit but so far I've had less than 40% success avoiding it, the odd thing is I've seen people hardly move at all and not get frozen.

    Be moving while he's casting Snow Drift and for a second or two after he casts it.

    The Bombs will also apply the Freezing stacks if not burned down by the DDs.

    I didn't know either. I THOUGHT movement was involved but felt like the stacks were RNG.

    Doesn't work, it just seems a random chance to not get a stack. I have tried pretty much every possible method you can think of to avoid a stack and none of them work.

    I just run in circles when he starts casting it and stop running when I take the damage for it.

    It really does feel like RNG-hell. Sometimes you won't get it while moving, sometimes you will. But I have no idea what causes you to get it vs. not get it. It definitely has something to do with either moving, or attacking the boss, or maybe both.

    Sometimes it almost seems like a good idea to intentionally get hit by something to be frozen earlier in the fight, in order to avoid randomly getting frozen when both bombs are up.
