What is Frost Avalanche
A CM arcana. A full blue suit with a snowy Freezing Field animation, a custom voice and a main-menu effect.
Immortal items drop only from events, caches and battle passes. After the sale ends, unlimited immortals reach the Steam Community Market, where the price forms freely. Limited ones (like this one) can be absent from the market for years.
This immortal is one of the "older" ones (2017). The market supply is limited, the price is on average stable or rising.

Skin Changer safety
The Skin Changer is a client-side modification, nothing is sent to the Valve server. From the anticheat's point of view it's a "harmless" category on par with a custom HUD: the ban rate for a pure skin changer trends to zero.
Combined with the Umbrella spoofer the risk is reduced further. A detailed honest breakdown — "Do you get banned for cheats in Dota 2".
FAQ
Do allies see Frost Avalanche?
No. The Skin Changer applies the skin only on the client — allies and enemies see the standard model. If you want to show the immortal in a replay or stream — that works only locally.
Will the immortal go with my arcana?
Yes. Most immortal items are compatible with arcanas (e.g. Frost Avalanche + the Crystal Maiden arcana). The Skin Changer lets you combine any combinations regardless of what's in your Steam inventory.
What happens if the subscription expires?
The skin layouts deactivate — the standard model returns on the next game. Progress is saved: when the subscription resumes, the whole settings set is restored.
Can I sell Frost Avalanche via a bot after Umbrella?
No. The Skin Changer does not give a real item in the Steam inventory — it's a visual substitution. If you need a real item for trading, you'll have to buy it on the Steam Market.
What other immortals are there on Crystal Maiden?
In the Umbrella Skin Changer all known Dota 2 immortal items are available (several hundred). On Crystal Maiden the catalog usually has 4–8 immortals and 1 arcana. The full list — inside the module.
