Damage tapers off linearly to 0 damage at 400 distance

Damage Formula Per Impact = (1-Distance/400)*40
Deals approximately 320/400/533 damage to a stationary target directly centered on projectile path
Adds approximately 15/19/26 "Frosted" charges to a stationary target directly centered on projectile path

Hypothetical max damage of 960/1200/1600 if enemy stays on center for entire projectile lifetime
Hypothetical max "Frosted" charges of 24/30/40 if enemy stays within the effect AOE for the entire projectile lifetime

Projectile has 1000 clearvision (2000 unit diameter!) sight range while flying

"Frosted" gives 2% movement slow per charge
"Frosted" charges from Glacial Spike, Frigid Field, and Absolute Zero are equivalent and stack
127 charges max

Touch type, effect type, and damage type are Magic

Ellonia's Absolute Zero sounds very complicated. One impact every 0.06 seconds, damage for each impact varies based on distance to projectile center at time of impact. The formulas above are fine and all, but how does this actually translate in game?

I put in all the formulas and ran a simulation based on two factors:

• How fast is the enemy moving towards or away from Ellonia?
• How off center is the enemy to Absolute Zero's projectile path?

Assumptions:

• The target is moving either directly towards (written as negative movespeed) or directly away from (positive movespeed) Ellonia
• The target is currently exactly 400 units away from Ellonia when the spell is cast
  
  • This is why the damage is actually less for very high movement speeds; the enemy is almost outrunning the projectile for its 2.4 second lifetime

Here are the results:

The yellow line represents a stationary target.
The green square is the highest value on this table (direct hit on a target moving 250 ms away from Ellonia)

Example:

• The enemy is running at 250 ms (about 30% slow on a 360 ms base, 15 frosted charges) away from Ellonia
• The Absolute Zero projectile misses the enemy by 50 units
• 540 / 673 / 894 magic damage and 24 / 30 / 40 frosted charges applied

Better double-check your scripts with the actual retail ones...

Maybe there won't be anything ninja-changed at the last minute this time

Already did. These match up with retail as of 2.5.21.0. =)

Is the decrease in damage from the center of her ult linear or logarithmic?

Long story short; Just use 'q' for KS and you'll be good.
