Internal Buff ID: 44

Frostburn is a debuff that prevents health regeneration and causes the afflicted to lose 6 health points per second for player and 8 health per second for enemy. No enemies inflict this debuff. It is very useful early to mid-game, as only 23 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.
