Frost Daggerfish

Ice biome angling and rapid throwing blades

Obtained by fishing in the freezing lakes of the Snow biome, the Frost Daggerfish is a consumable thrown ranged weapon. With a brisk 13 use time, players can rapidly fling these icy fish in tight arcs toward hostile targets. Each fish deals 17 base ranged damage with 3.5 knockback upon impact, giving patient anglers a potent ranged projectile early in their playthrough.

Early ranged DPS and consumable replenishment

Compared to craftable throwing knives or shurikens, the Frost Daggerfish hits noticeably harder, surpassing standard wooden arrows fired from basic bows. It is particularly helpful for taking down tanky surface foes like ice golems or zombie variants during snowstorms. Because each throw consumes a fish from the stack, sustaining prolonged boss battles requires catching a surplus during fishing trips. As a consumable weapon, it cannot be reforged with prefixes.

Trivia

• The Frost Daggerfish is one of several aquatic tools and weapons caught through fishing in specific biomes.
• Despite its icy nature, it deals pure physical ranged damage rather than inflicting the Frostburn debuff.
