- Made by shimmering Snowball Cannon.
Frozen cavern excavation and charged icicle lances
Introduced in 1.4.5, the Glacier Fang is a pre-Hardmode magic weapon retrieved from Frozen Chests in the underground Ice biome or transmuted from a Snowball Cannon in Shimmer. Costing 10 mana per burst, channeling the weapon charges an icy lance that penetrates multiple enemies in a straight trajectory. The piercing ice lance travels smoothly across water and liquids without losing velocity or damage potential. The weapon delivers 11 base magic damage alongside an elevated 15% critical strike chance, granting early mages a chilling piercing option.
Channeling penetration tactics and Ice chest cycling
The Glacier Fang provides early mages with a unique channeling piercing weapon that excels at shredding multi-segmented foes like the Eater of Worlds or locking down narrow cavern passages against advancing undead. Its elevated critical chance rewards players who equip magic damage accessories like the Celestial Cuffs or Magic Carpet. Submerging the weapon back into Shimmer converts it into an Ice Blade, enabling players to cycle between frozen chest treasures easily. Reforging to the Mythical modifier secures peak bonuses to damage, critical strike chance, velocity, and knockback.
Trivia
- Glacier Fang can be cycled into other Frozen Chest items by submerging it in Shimmer.
