{{Ub|=The best defensive spell available to a Sorceress is manifest in this formidable armor. The spell actually defends against ranged attacks, turning aside arrow and bolt. Those seeking to engage the Sorceress shall soon feel the icy bite of their folly.}}

*[[Cast rate]]
*Chilling Armor can only apply to caster.
*Skill level only applied when cast, +% [[Cold Skill Damage]] applied whenever cold damage is applied to a hostile [[unit]]. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/113560-porcu-sorc/&do=findComment&comment=1421841]


[[File:Chilling Armor.png|center|frame|Bolt applying cold damage and cold length is fired at any hostile unit that fires a [[missile]] which collides with the caster, regardless of whether or not any [[attack]] is successful. [https://www.theamazonbasin.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/114320-sorc-with-a-spear/&do=findComment&comment=1424978] Bolt is destroyed upon collision with any target or obstacle between the caster and the attacker.]]


*Bolts are only triggered by collisions with missiles with ReturnFire flagged. [https://d2mods.info/forum/kb/viewarticle?a=364] Most applicable missiles are obvious ([[arrows]], [[bolts]], [[javelin]]s, [[throwing axe]]s and [[throwing knife|knives]], and other projectiles), but some are less so: [[Charged Strike]] and [[Lightning Strike]] are [[melee]] attacks releasing missiles which trigger bolts; arctic blast used by [[Frozen Horror]]s and [[Nihlathak (boss)|{{Ub|=Nihlathak}}]] triggers bolts despite similar skills not doing so; [[Poison Enchanted]] missiles may be invisible, but this does not prevent them from triggering bolts.
*Bolts are '''not''' triggered by the following:
**[[Arctic Blast]]
**[[Armageddon]] skills, including that used by {{Ub|=Diablo}} in both the [[Diablo (World Event)|World]] and [[Diablo (Pandemonium Event)|Pandemonium Events]]
**[[Blade Sentinel]] and [[Blade Shield]]
**Chilling Armor bolts
**[[Corpse Explosion]] skills, including those of [[Death Sentry]] and {{Ub|=Nihlathak}}, and [[Bone Fetish]], [[Fire Enchanted]] and [[Suicide Minion]] explosions
**[[Fire Blast]]
**[[Fire Damage|Fire damage]] per second, including that of skills like [[Blaze]]
**Fire nova cast by [[Diablo|{{Ub|=Diablo}}]]
**[[Firestorm]] skills, including that used by {{Ub|=Diablo}}
**[[Fire Wall]] skills, including those cast by [[Vampire]]s and [[The Countess|{{Ub|=the Countess}}]]
**[[Fist of the Heavens]] lightning bolt
**[[Inferno]] skills, including those used by [[Fetish Shaman]]s, [[Megademon]]s, [[Demon Imp]]s mounted on [[Siege Beast]]s or [[Barricaded Tower]]s, [[Diablo|{{Ub|=Diablo}}]] and [[Baal|{{Ub|=Baal}}]]
**Lightning cast by [[Zakarum Priest]]s and [[Mephisto|{{Ub|=Mephisto}}]]
**[[Meteor]] skills, including those cast by [[Phoenix Strike]] and Vampires
**[[Poison Explosion]] and other poison clouds
**[[Rabies]]
**[[Shock Web]]
**[[Volcano]] eruption
**[[Wake of Fire]] and [[Wake of Inferno]]
*Bolts are not triggered by [[radius|radial]] effects, or radial components of missile attacks. For example, bolts may be triggered by a direct collision with a [[Fire Ball]], [[Glacial Spike]], [[Molten Boulder]] or [[Tornado]], but not by damage applied within radius of that collision.
*If missile is not an attack requiring a hit check, Chilling Armor does nothing to prevent any damage.
*Can be active at the same time as both [[Cyclone Armor]] and [[Blade Shield]] but not [[Bone Armor]], Frozen Armor or Shiver Armor (last one cast is active).
<br>

==Source==
*Also used by cold [[Iron Wolf]] (D2R only).
*In the [[Pandemonium Event]], [[Izual (Pandemonium Event)|{{Ub|=Izual}}]] casts level 27 Chilling Armor, while [[Baal (Pandemonium Event)|{{Ub|=Baal}}]] casts level 37 Chilling Armor. [[Amazon]]s using [[Charged Strike]] or [[Sorceress]] using [[Charged Bolt]] should be aware that every collision with their bolts will trigger a corresponding Chilling Armor bolt.
