The Avalanche is a Hardmode broadsword that is dropped by Cryogen. When hitting enemies, it spawns 4 ice bombs around the player that travel in either cardinal or ordinal directions. The ice bombs can pass through tiles and explode into 4 gravity affected ice shards on enemy hits or after 3 seconds. The ice bombs deal 50% knockback and the ice shards deal 50% of the weapon's damage.
Its best modifier is Legendary.

Notes
- Despite having the appearance of an axe, the Avalanche cannot be used to cut down trees.
- The Destroyer takes only 50% damage from the Avalanche's ice bombs.
Tips
- Due to the way the projectiles spawn, this weapon is exceptionally effective against Worm AI enemies, as every one of the falling shards will hit their long body.
Trivia
- This weapon was previously known as the "Permafrost" but was renamed due to the introduction of the Archmage, which will always be named "Permafrost".
