CIV buff

Ok so we all know that the Cold Iron Carver has very little use. Aside from dealing high damage to Deadnaughts (which aren't common) and Howlitzers (which are easy to take out with other gear) this sword has very little practical use.
What if the CIV could inflict Freeze on the charge and the last swing of the combo? With it's already low knockback it would be a great buff for this sword, not only could you deal respectable damage but you could also provide support for your team by locking down monsters. As you may or may not know, the Freeze status works well when paired with Spin Charge blades since it hinders knockback and allows the blade to hit more times and being able to reliably hit 3 times on the charge would make this a good weapon.

I'm vohtarak, call me by that name
Yeah I agree with this, it definitely needs a buff and freeze fits the name

Good idea
This buff would make the CIV viable, at least when compared with the Levi. I'm not sure that would be enough to make me want use the sword for the most challenging missions (the normal combo would probably still be... not that great) but it's definitively a great idea that would turn the CIV into a more interesting/strategic weapon.

Hm...
As a former CIV user, I agree that it should have freeze. I actually did my first ever run of the old Vanaduke with a Cold Iron Vanquisher and some other useless 3* sword. Not to mention that I was in full Cobalt with an Aegis... I was a noob, but my CIV has always had a place in my arsenal, even though I never use it. I might take it out for a spin, if you know what I mean. :P
Honestly I'd be okay with the sword not having the undead bonus and instead deal freeze. The fact that it's freeze makes leviathan blade the king of knockback (like all cobalt weapons) while this would have a different niche. I would say shock would work (technically speaking), however freeze works more into the name and still helps.
