Performs Overflow Attacks During Froststorm Turn
At the start of battle, a "Froststorm Turn" with a fixed SPD of 60 appears. When the Froststorm Turn takes its turn, it performs an Overflow Blast Attack with 2 Attributes that can destroy enemy PLTs.
Gain Effects by Stacking Chill
| Chill Grant Condition | Number of Chill Granted |
| Own Combat Skill activation | 1 |
| Own [Transcendence] Combat Skill activation | 2 |
| An ally attacks 1 Kaiju with Normal Attack/Combat Skill/Ultimate | 1 |
| An ally in Transcendence state attacks 1 Kaiju | 1 |
| At the start of a Wave | 20 |
Reno gains up to 40 "Chill" stacks through various conditions, including allies attacking with specific skills.
When Chill reaches its maximum stack after he activates a Combat Skill, the Froststorm Turn Action Order increases by 100%, and the DMG Multiplier of his own Overflow Attack also increases. This effect consumes 40 Chill stacks.
Damage Changes Based on 1 or 4+ Kaiju
Reno's Transcendence Combat Skill and Transcendence Ultimate gain an increased DMG Multiplier when only 1 Kaiju is on the field. Additionally, his Additional Passive Skill increases the DMG Multiplier of his Combat Skills and Ultimate when there are 4 or more Kaiju.
Prioritize A1 and A2
A1 reduces Chill consumption and increases damage while Absolute Frost is active, while A2 boosts his Overflow Attack DMG Multiplier and increases his own Action Order. Both improve his damage output, making A1 and A2 the recommended Ascensions to aim for first.
Higher Ascensions provide further improvements. A4 increases Froststorm Turn SPD and enables random PLT destruction, while A6 extends Absolute Frost and conditionally increases the DMG Multiplier of his Transcendence Combat Skill.
