Icicle Arrows are Hardmode arrows that are sold by the Archmage for 80 each after defeating all three minibosses in the Frost Moon event. They ignore gravity and pierce infinitely, but rapidly decelerate during flight before falling straight down as an icicle that deals 110% damage, passes through tiles, and pierces once. The second target hit by the icicle takes half as much damage. On enemy or tile collision, the arrow immediately flies upwards before freezing and falling.
The Eternal Blizzard also fires these arrows in addition to Wooden Arrows.
Notes
- Astrum Deus takes only 65% damage from Icicle Arrows.
