The above effect also applies to Chain Attacks, Ultimates, Basic Attack: Icy Blade, and Basic Attack: Glacial Blade Wave.

Dupes / advancement

Rank 1 Glacial Omen

Upon hitting an enemy with a Swift Scissors strike during Dash Attack: Arctic Ambush, the obtained Flash Freeze Charges are increased to 3. Upon hitting an enemy with a Charged Scissors strike during Dash Attack: Arctic Ambush, the obtained Flash Freeze Charges are increased to 6. For each Flash Freeze Charge consumed, Ellen's CRIT Rate is increased by 2% for 15s, stacking up to 6 times. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Chilling winds are an omen of winter, and a signal that Ellen is about to apply for extended leave to hibernate. Speaking of which, do sharks actually need to hibernate?

Rank 2 Arctic Ocean Predator

The 3rd hit of Basic Attack: Flash Freeze Trimming can be directly followed up with EX Special Attack: Sharknami. For each point of Flash Freeze Charge when using an EX Special Attack, the current attack's CRIT DMG is increased by 20%, up to a max of 60%. Despite being freshly stained with red, the massive shears held by Ellen lacked any trace of warmth. The icy cold stems from her iron-forged instrument, as well as the fear of facing a predator such as herself.

Rank 3 Overtime-Intolerant

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 The whole point of "efficiency" is being able to go home early and sleep. So strike harder and strike faster.

Rank 4 Endless Hoarfrost

Whenever a squad member Freezes or Stuns an enemy, Ellen gains 6 Flash Freeze Charges and the Quick Charge effect. She also recovers 4 Energy. The Energy recovery effect can trigger once per 10s. A relentless assault of piercing cold. Terrifying monstrosities will learn the beauty and cruelty of winter under Ellen's blade. But, actually, the endless work that maids have during holidays is far more cruel...

Rank 5 Adequate Sleep

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 Except for when in the toughest of battles, Ellen always seems to have that "I can fall asleep at any moment" look. Many an enemy has met their demise after underestimating Ellen because of it.

Rank 6 The Feast Begins

When Ellen uses an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or gains Quick Charge, her PEN Ratio increases by 20% for 6s. She also gains 1 stack of The Feast Begins, up to a maximum of 3 stacks. With 3 stacks of The Feast Begins, using a Charged Scissors strike during Dash Attack: Arctic Ambush consumes all stacks, increasing the DMG of the current attack by 250%. An open wound, a drop of blood. A thrilling hunt, a grand feast. A fragile life, a moment of satisfaction.
