Flower of Frost

Ice Mimic hunting and ricocheting iceballs

The Flower of Frost drops from the Ice Mimic lurking in the Underground Snow biome during Hardmode, sharing a 31.67% drop chance with other biome chest treasures. Casting this botanical relic expends 11 mana to cast dense frost spheres that bounce across solid terrain and ricochet into enemy formations. The projectiles pierce multiple targets and inflict Frostbite, draining enemy health rapidly without extinguishing under water or honey.

Hardmode spell comparisons and optimal reforge

Delivering 60 base magic damage with heavy 6.5 knockback, this flower serves as a direct Hardmode upgrade to the pre-Hardmode Flower of Fire. While the Crystal Serpent offers wider area-of-effect fragmentation, the Flower of Frost deals higher concentrated single-target punishment in narrow subterranean corridors. Mythical is the premier modifier, optimizing cast rate, critical strike probability, and mana consumption.

Trivia

• Unlike normal fireballs, frost spheres can travel through water and honey without being extinguished.
• The Frostbite debuff inflicted by the flower prevents natural enemy health regeneration while ticking damage.
