The Ice Blade used against Target Dummies.
The Ice Blade is a pre-Hardmode sword which occasionally fires an Ice Bolt projectile when swung. It costs no ammunition or mana, emits a small amount of light, deals the same damage as the sword, is not affected by gravity, and dissipates upon hitting an enemy or solid block. The Ice Blade also has a base 6% critical strike chance, as opposed to the usual 4%. The Ice Blade is found in Frozen Chests in the Ice biome, Frozen Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and Boreal Crates(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).
Its best modifier is Legendary.
Notes
- The Ice Bolt projectile has a cooldown of 0.92 seconds.
- (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) While the cooldown is active, the player can neither switch items, look in another direction, nor utilize Auto Select, but they can continue swinging the sword.
- A small particle effect and the sound for restoring mana will notify the player of a recharged Ice Bolt.
- The Ice Blade is capable of autoswing. It will swing in the direction of the last fired projectile.
- Melee speed will affect the speed of the Ice Bolt. Its cooldown will remain unchanged, however.
- On the
, this weapon deals 18 damage without modifiers instead of 17. Whether this is intended or not is unknown.
Tips
- This can be a good early game melee weapon, because of its autoswing, 17 damage, and projectile.
Trivia
- The Ice Blade makes the same noise as the Ice Elemental when its projectile is fired.
- The Frostbrand can be considered its Hardmode upgrade.
