*The shards pierce everything on their way until they hit the ground.
*The skill does an initial hit around Aisha that also inflicts freeze, but for a slightly shorter amount of time. This deals 120% Magical Damage.
*Each individual shard will also freeze enemies, resetting the duration. Consequentially, the average freeze time is closer to 6 seconds.
*The ice shards will always spawn in the same pattern, 4 wide apart, and then 4 more in the 3 gaps between the first 4. The gap furthest in front of you will thus have 2 shards spawn near each other, making that the sweetspot of the skill you should try and aim on smaller enemies.
*Extremely useful in parties, as it hits the whole screen and freezing stops the mobs from attacking or being knocked-down.
**Only wide enough enemies that stretch behind you, such as [[11-4|Debrian Nasod Carrier]] during its '''Energy Buster''' attack can be hit by all the shards and their explosion. On average, you can hit around 3 shards and their explosions on any given target, especially with the '''Gigantic''' trait.
*The shards themselves don't freeze and instead inflict hitstun.
**The shards will explode upon reaching a platform near your casting elevation or the ground if there is none.
*Extremely useful in parties, as it can hit much of the screen and freezing stops the mobs from attacking or being knocked-down.
**The freeze can also be used to delay or even bypass any problematic or time-consuming patterns (ex. Kelaino's special attack, or Nasod Inspector's shields), creating a window for you and your party to quickly defeat a boss with very little trouble.  
**The freeze can also be used to delay or even bypass any problematic or time-consuming patterns (ex. Kelaino's special attack, or Nasod Inspector's shields), creating a window for you and your party to quickly defeat a boss with very little trouble.  
**Prolong the effect by following up with a [[Memorize|memorized]] Blizzard Shower.
**Due to the freezing duration with '''Killing Blow (1)''' and the cooldown reduction when using [[Memorize]] after unlocking [[Awakened Will: Elemental Master]], it is entirely possible to freeze a boss forever by just using Memorized Blizzard Shower over and over again, assuming they don't have high Water Resistance and you have a way of managing the MP cost.
*The ice shards will spawn and fall randomly in a great distance, so getting the full damage from this skill is difficult.
*If used against a target with around 300 Water resistance or more, the skill will likely not freeze them in place long enough with the initial hit to ensure they also get hit by the shards.
**On large enemies, however, connecting most or all of the hits for heavy damage is fairly easy (ex. against Avalanche, Bone Dragon, Eltrion, Drabaki, and others).
<br>
*Be cautious when using this skill during certain enemies' attacks such as [[6-1|Uno Hound's]] Double Lariat because it has been known to freeze attacks mid-animation, causing the damage to be drawn out for the length of the freeze.
 
*If used against a target with around 300 Water resistance or more, it is very difficult to get anymore than the first hit from the aura that is released. The target will fall faster than the icicles falling down.

*In the past, '''Blizzard Shower''' had less explicit range and looked like [[Avalanche]]'s ice attack.
