Does Cold Snap inflict BOTH chill from hit and chilled ground chill, or only chilled ground chill?

Cold Snap creates an area of chilled ground, called Cold Snap ground (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Chilled_ground#Cold_Snap_ground), which chills mobs.

That I know.

But does it inflict normal chill on hit?

Like, for example, the mob gets 30% normal chill for 2 seconds from Cold Snap hit, AND 10% chill for 6 seconds from Cold Snap ground, non-cumulative?

sudden burst of cold initial effect: would create a chill


Although the chill effects between the two should be roughly the same, not 30% and 10% like you mentioned. Only the highest chill effect would matter though. I think you got the 10% from the "non-damaging chilled ground" definition, but Cold Snap is a DAMAGING chilled ground.

Nowhere on wiki it says that Cold Snap DOESN'T inflict normal chill IN ADDITION to chilled ground chill.

No confirmation that it inflicts normal chill either.

That is how "chill" works....you can't inflict 2 chills on a single enemy. Just like how you can't inflict 2 shocks on an enemy, or 2 ignites on an enemy.

Confirmation of "normal" chill: any cold damage with a chance to chill, has a chance to chill. That is all the confirmation you need. The fact that the initial cold snap hit deals cold damage tells you that it can chill.

You CAN inflict 2 chills on a single enemy, they aren't cumulative though. Anyway,

just checked Cold Snap on mobs, it indeed inflicts two chills, one from hit and one from chilled ground. So it's 2 seconds of 30% chill (or 26%, or some other value depending on mob's ailment threshold), and then 3 seconds of 10% chill from chilled ground.

And with Elemental Focus support it doesn't inflict chill from hit, just 5 seconds of 10% chill from chilling ground. Checked it twice.
