The Flower of Frost has a 19/60 (31.67%) chance to be dropped by Ice Mimics in the Ice biome.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
Notes
- On all versions, the Flower of Frost has a 50% chance to inflict the (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Frostbite / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Frostburn 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.
