Not to be confused with Staff of the Frost Hydra.
The Frost Staff is a Hardmode magic weapon that has a 2*1/50 (2%) drop chance from Icy Mermen and Ice Elementals, both of which are found in the Snow biome or Ice biome. The Frost Staff shoots a frost bolt which travels in a straight line, pierces a single enemy, and disappears after striking a second.
Its best modifier is Mythical.
Tips[]
- If obtained early in Hardmode, it can be fairly effective until better weapons are obtained. With its fast speed, average and fair knockback, it can deal with crowds of enemies.
Trivia[]
- The Frost Staff functions somewhat similarly to a gem staff.
- It is shaped very similarly to the Imp Staff.
- In 1.4's official changelog, this weapon is incorrectly referred to as "Staff of Frost"

- Desktop 1.3.0.1: Damage increased from 43 to 46.
- Unknown: The projectile shot by the Frost Staff is no longer stacked; if an enemy had more health than a single projectile could hit, the other projectile would also hit the enemy, meaning that piercing would only apply if the enemy could be killed with a single projectile.
