Template:Armor infobox

The Frost Armor is a Hardmode armor set that grants the ability to inflict Frostburn on enemies with melee or ranged attacks when the whole set is worn, as well as causing all ranged and melee attacks to give off light - This makes it very useful for exploring caves.

In all versions, Ice Golems will drop the Frost Core required to craft one piece of this armor; therefore, it takes three Ice Golem kills to get the full armor set. Ice Golems spawn in the Snow biome during a Blizzard in Hardmode.

The Frostburn debuff is particularly devastating when used against worm enemies because it affects each segment, thereby multiplying the damage dealt by the number of segments. Unfortunately, the Destroyer is immune to this effect.

Visually, wearing the set causes a "snow trail" to be left behind the player as they walk, similar to running with Hermes Boots. Also, taking damage causes the shattering sound heard when breaking through thin ice.

Notes

  • Only a handful of the bosses (The Destroyer, Duke Fishron and Mourning Wood) are immune to the Frostburn debuff, making this set useful against most bosses.
  • The Frost armor set can easily be farmed by creating a large one sided trench with a roof over the top of it with a one block hole in it. The Ice Golem will not be able to shoot you because of its 'laser' spawning off-center when you are above it. This is useful because Frost armor has a better armor value than most hardmode alternatives.
  • The Frostburn effect adds light to all melee and ranged attacks, including tools such as Pickaxes and Drills, and to ordinary ammunition, such as that used by the Endless Quiver and Endless Musket Pouch.
  • The Frostburn debuff is also given to all NPCs. This may or may not be a bug.
  • It is worth noting that selling the components of Frost armor results in more profit than selling the crafted set.
  • The Magical Harp's projectiles inflict Frostburn, even though it is magic damage.

Trivia

Red's old armor
  • Template:Pc icon If the Breastplate and Leggings are paired with a gold helmet, and you dye all pieces with Blue Flame and Black dye, you will get an afterimage and pulsing aura, akin to Hallowed armor. This was the armor Red used to wear, before his specific set was added. This has since been removed.

History

  • 1.3.0.1: Now requires Titanium Bars/Adamantite Bars instead of Hallowed Bars to craft.
  • 1.2.4.1: Frost Armor now correctly plays a special sound when hit.
  • 1.2.1: Graphics variant for female characters added.
  • 1.2.0.3: The Frost Breastplate now correctly gives bonus based off the tooltip.
  • 1.2: Introduced.
