Already have a Storm Leech and a Corona Leech, now i think about to put some Cryo‘s on my next.
Is it worth to level Cryo Weapons?
And put them on a Leech?
Or whats about a Phantom with only the new weapon‘s, is Storm/Halo better?
Ao Jun with 2 Frozen Weapons or Redeemer?

I think the Phantom would be a great platform for the freeze weapons. I haven't played too much with them yet, but my feeling is that you want one of two types of builds:
1. FDB - Freezing Death Button - the idea of this build is to ambush and kill with one full salvo, like the DB Griffen of old. So, you want something that can carry enough firepower to ensure death to most bots. So, things like Raven, Mercury, Spectre. Something that can get in and destroy.
2. ADB - Annoying Death Button - sorry, don't have a good name for this, but basically anything fast that can't necessarily kill with one salvo. I'm not sure if 1 Cryo and 2 Rimes can single salvo kill but at least with the Phantom, you can blink back to safety once your ammo goes pew pew. I've been playing my 2 Rimes on my Loki and it's quite fun. I can't single salvo kill much, but my perma stealth and speed boost helps me get away while the rockets reload.
I feel I really need to level my Rimes up more to get better performance from them though. I wish I had the Cryo and Glacier so that I could compare better, but judging from the TS vids, it seems the heavier weapons fill the snowflake gauge faster and therefore can get the target into extra damage mode faster.

Yep. They are very good. I was doubtful at first but I've gotten to where I would use them on every bot if possible. I use two rimes on a hades with exodus and it's a killing machine. Although i've got clanmates that run them on everything... glacier ao jun, cryo leech and ares, rime and cryo phantoms, glacier cryo strider, etc. all of them are strong set ups.

I replaced a level 10 corona with a lvl 10 cryo on an Ares. Not that impressed. Empties out quick, doesn't aim that well, short range. I have a second one I haven't touched.
The one time I do really like it is against high level Tfalc or fenrir. They are slow enough to unload and fill the snowflake. Makes them a lot easier to kill.

Anything that slows or locksdown things is good in this game. Anything that does burst damage is good in this game.
If you already have lockdown weapons maxed on all your bots i wouldnt worry too much maybe one just for the 20% extra damage.

I like the Freeze weapons though so go for it. I just now put Sparks and a Scourge on my Phantom, havent played it but Im guessing it will kick bott. Before that I had Gusts and a Storm on it. Worked well. |

glacier is awesome; made me change my t-falcon back to normal. I speed-upgraded it to lvl10, and it works well with exodus on my falcon. And I just got the second one. How wonderful! I also got a cryo. The problem is that only medium slot bot in my lineup is mender, and it already has a lvl10 corona. Not sure it is worth replacing corona with cryo: lockdown vs. freezing, very high dps/dpm vs high dps/med dpm. Any ideas? I even consider producing a tyr, and replace my mender, just to make way to cryo. Any suggestions?

Man want to get another if only to have it for now. Don't want 2 different looking rimes.
