Not to be confused with Staff of the Frost Hydra, Wand of Frosting, or Ice Rod.
The Frost Staff in use against Target Dummies. Notice how it inflicts the Frostbite debuff.

The Frost Staff is a Hardmode wand that has a 1/50 (2%) chance of being dropped by Icy Mermen and Ice Elementals. When used, it fires a frost bolt that pierces one enemy and does not pass through blocks. The Frost Staff also inflicts the Frostbite debuff for 7 seconds on hit.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Trivia

  • The Frost Staff functions similarly to a gem staff.
  • It is shaped very similarly to the Imp Staff.
  • In the official changelog of 1.4.0.1, this weapon is incorrectly referred to as the "Staff of Frost".

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Use time decreased from 16 to 12.
    • Now inflicts Frostbite.
  • Desktop 1.4.0.1:
    • Sprite updated. Old sprite was: Frost Staff (old).png
    • Use time decreased from 20 to 16.
    • Mana cost decreased from 14 to 12.
  • Desktop Unknown: The projectile shot by the Frost Staff is no longer stacked; if an enemy had more health than a single projectile could hit, the other projectile would also hit the enemy, meaning that piercing would only apply if the enemy could be killed with a single projectile.Verify
  • Desktop 1.2.3:
    • Damage decreased from 53 to 43.
    • Mana usage increased from 10 to 14.
    • Now has its own projectile (ID 359) instead of using the same projectile as the Frostbrand (ID 119).
