Frostburn Arrows are a type of ammunition which have a chance to inflict the Frostburn debuff upon hitting an enemy.

Similar to Flaming Arrows, Frostburn Arrows have a 33.33*1/3 (33.33%) chance to drop as an item upon impact, allowing them to be recovered. However, only 1/3 of those that do drop as an item will remain Frostburn Arrows; the rest will revert to Wooden Arrows. This means that on average one out of nine fired Frostburn arrows may be recovered.

Notes[]

  • Unlike Flaming Arrows, Frostburn Arrows remain lit when shot into, or under water.
  • Of the 32 enemies which are immune to Frostburn, only 6 spawn in pre-Hardmode.

Tips[]

  • Frostburn Arrows have decisive advantages over Wooden or Flaming Arrows, especially during the early game:
    • They are made from very common crafting ingredients: 30 Frostburn Arrows require only 1 Wood of any kind, 1 Gel, 1 Ice Block, and 30 Wooden Arrows.
    • Frostburn does slightly more damage than On Fire! and cannot be put out underwater.
  • Frostburn Arrows can be replaced by using the Endless Quiver with Frost Armor, as the armor's set bonus imbues all ranged and melee attacks with the Frostburn debuff.
