The Ice Boomerang's animation.

The Ice Boomerang is a pre-Hardmode boomerang that has a 15.52% chance of being found inside Frozen Chests in the Ice biome, as well as a 1/6 (16.67%) chance of being obtained from Frozen and Boreal Crates. It can also inflict the Frostburn debuff for 3 seconds, and also has a base 6% critical strike chance, as opposed to the usual 4%.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Notes

  • The Ice Boomerang can travel for 0.5 seconds before it starts decelerating, and eventually turning around to return towards the player. This results in having a maximum range of roughly 26.38 tiles.[1]
    • Melee speed bonuses increase the boomerang's velocity, which in turn increases its range.
      • Conversely, liquids will slow down the boomerang and reduce its range.
    • As soon as the boomerang begins decelerating, it gains infinite piercing and becomes capable of going through solid tiles. This allows it to hit enemies multiple times near end of its maximum range and slightly penetrate into tiles.
  • The Ice Boomerang has a top speed of 46 mph when returning to the player, and can only exist for up to 1 minute before despawning. It will also despawn if its distance from the player is more than 187.5 tiles.
