Ice Crash · Path of Exile: Gem levels and requirements

Using this reference

Choose the gem level for Ice Crash before checking requirements or mana cost. Values from two different levels do not describe one usable gem. If you are planning an upgrade, compare the next level with the attributes and resources your character will have at that point.

The skill-type list records source tags. It helps you identify the kind of skill, but is not a complete test of support compatibility or a damage calculation. Check the linked skill documentation for interactions before committing to a setup.

What changes between variants

Ice Crash includes 20 recorded variants. Comparing Ice Crash · 1 with Ice Crash · 20 changes these fields: Gem level: 1 → 20 and Required character level: 28 → 70. Select the variant that matches your situation before using its figures in the calculator. The intermediate records remain in the full table if you need a closer comparison.

A worked example

The listed Intelligence requirement for Ice Crash is 29. At 28, you are one point short; at 29, that requirement is met. Check the other requirements separately—meeting this one does not clear the whole list.

One useful comparison

For Required character level, Ice Crash is listed at 28, compared with 24 for Bane: a difference of 4. This compares that field in the recorded variants only. Read the other fields before deciding whether the trade-off matters to your use.
