Chill Attack

Chill Attack is a gem effect in Xenoblade Chronicles. It grants a percentage chance that the user's auto-attack will inflict chill for 10 seconds, dealing extra damage every 2 seconds (for a total of 5 extra hits). Unlike the debuff's normal effect, the damage done is equal to the gem's value, rather than based on the initial damage dealt.

Overview
Chill Attack is just an extra source of damage; it can be placed on anyone who wants to deal more damage without having to worry about extra aggro (as it's a debuff). Unfortunately, it is entirely outclassed by, which does more damage at all ranks; as a result, there's very few situations where Chill Attack is the better choice.

In the original version, Chill Attack works against Mechon armour, dealing its full damage. In the Definitive Edition, it does not trigger at all.
