The Frost Barrier is a Pre-Hardmode accessory that is sold by the Traveling Merchant during a Full Moon for 12 , or dropped by Ice Claspers. When equipped, it provides 10 defense. Getting hit by attacks inflicts nearby enemies with the Glacial State debuff. Both the range and duration of the Glacial State debuff are based on the damage the player took. It also grants immunity to the Chilled and Frostburn debuffs.

Notes

• The freeze distance (in pixels) is calculated by taking a random number between 200 + (damage taken / 2) and 300 + (damage taken * 2). This distance gets softcapped over 500 to be only 75% as effective, over 700 to be only 50% as effective, and over 900 to be only 25% as effective.
• The duration that Glacial State is inflicted for (in frames) is calculated by taking a random number between 10 + (damage taken / 4) and 20 + (damage taken / 3). This duration is capped at 120 frames, or 2 seconds.

Tips

• If players are having trouble finding one, wait for the Traveling Merchant to arrive and use a Cosmolight to make it a full moon. The merchant will remain at your house and his items will update to the full moon, allowing players to easily obtain the Frost Barrier.
• If used with knockback immunity, it can potentially trap enemies in the player, killing them very quickly.
