The Hoarfrost Bow is a Hardmode bow that is dropped by Cryogen. When used, it fires 2 arrows in a random spread. If Wooden Arrows are used as ammo, the arrows are converted into mist arrows that split into 2 frost mists that deal 35% of the arrow's damage. The mist arrows inflict the Frostbite and Glacial State debuffs and the frost mists inflict the Frostbite debuff.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
