The Flower of Frost inflicting the Frostbite debuff.

The Flower of Frost is a Hardmode magic weapon that launches a non-piercing Ball of Frost that ricochets up to seven times (but not off of platforms), dissipating on the eighth. Enemies hit by a Ball of Frost are inflicted with the Frostbite debuff for 5–14 seconds. The Flower of Frost has a 19/60 (31.67%) chance of being dropped by Ice Mimics.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

  • The Flower of Frost only has a 1/2 (50%) chance to inflict the Frostbite debuff in player-versus-player scenarios.

Tips

  • The Flower of Frost can be a powerful weapon in early Hardmode because of its relatively high DPS, ease of obtaining, and bouncing properties.

Trivia

  • The Flower of Frost can be considered the Hardmode upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Flower of Fire.
    • Similar to the Flower of Fire, the Flower of Frost is a reference to the Super Mario platform game series, in which the Ice Flower is a power-up that gives the player the ability to throw bouncing ice balls that freeze enemies on contact.
    • In contrast to the Ball of Fire, the Ball of Frost can move through all liquids, falls slower, and gains height with each bounce.
