- Not to be confused with Frosty Flare, a rogue weapon sold by the Archmage.
The Frost Flare is a Hardmode accessory dropped by Cryogen.
When equipped, all of the player's attacks and projectiles inflict the Frostbite debuff to enemies. It also grants immunity to Frostburn, Chilled, and Frozen, as well as reducing damage from "cold attacks". Additionally, it provides a minor boost to offensive stats at high health and significant boosts to defense and mobility at low health.
Like the Warmth Potion, this accessory reduces damage from all enemies and projectiles that can inflict the Chilled debuff by 30%. This is calculated separately from and is applied before defense and damage reduction calculations. This makes the Frost Flare extremely effective for farming Cryogen after the first kill and has significant benefits for the Frost Moon event.
Notes
- There is a 25% chance for Frostbite to be inflicted for 6 seconds, a 37.5% chance to be inflicted for 4 seconds, and a 37.5% chance to be inflicted for 2 seconds.
- The cold resistance granted by this accessory does not stack with the Warmth buff.
