Self-damage immunity and Frost Moon rockets
Acquired by defeating the Ice Queen in the Frost Moon event, the Snowman Cannon launches guided snowman missiles at a use time of 15. Each rocket inflicts 67 base ranged damage with 4 knockback. Unlike conventional rocket launchers whose blast radius injures the user, the Snowman Cannon causes zero self-damage, enabling aggressive point-blank firing without hazard.
Guided missile tracking and explosive ordnance
Miniature snowmen rockets actively pivot in midair to home directly into nearest hostiles. Loading Rocket III or Mini Nuke I yields large explosive detonations without damaging background arena tiles. Combining this launcher with Shroomite Helmet maximizes explosive impact and projectile velocity, making it an exceptional heavy weapon against agile bosses like Duke Fishron. The optimal modifier is Unreal.
Trivia
- Rockets fired from this launcher morph into miniature animated snowmen wearing top hats that steer toward hostiles.
- It is one of the few explosive missile launchers in the game whose detonations cannot damage the player who fired them.
