Tooltip	It's either really hot or really cold. Either way it REALLY hurts
Internal Buff ID: 44

Frostburn is a debuff that prevents health regeneration and causes the afflicted target to lose 8 health per second. If the enemy is Oiled, they will take 16 damage per second instead.

No enemies inflict this debuff. It is very useful early to mid-game, as only 28 enemies are immune to it.

On the  Mobile version, most gradual damage debuffs apply health percentage damage instead, making the DPS vary on enemies of different max HPs, capped at 4/5/6 damage per second on players. This can cause debuffs affecting high HP enemies and bosses to cause extreme damage compared to most conventional means of attacking, causing more than 400 damage per second on high HP bosses such as Golem and Duke Fishron.
