Ice Queen

The Ice Queen is a Hardmode mini-boss that spawns during the Frost Moon event. She is the equivalent to the Pumpking from the Pumpkin Moon, being the Frost Moon's most powerful enemy, coming in at the last waves of the event, and being the event's only flying boss.

Ice queen has three attacks patterns at random intervals:
 * She will sweep across the screen from left to right while shooting icy projectiles at the player.
 * She will hover over the player while raining down icicles at the player below her.
 * She will stay stationery before spinning in the air and shooting icicles in all different directions.

Her behavior is characterized by astonishingly fast movement and evasive maneuvers while making constant ranged attacks against the player. There are two ways to counter this - either use wings and possibly movement enhancing accessories to chase her, or a Cross Necklace/Star Veil combined with healing (Spectre armor/Vampire Knives) to mitigate her damage. If not using the Knives, a powerful ranged/magic weapon with high fire velocity is recommended. If a bullet-firing weapon is used, it may be a good idea to equip the Rifle Scope (or, even better, the Sniper Scope) as she will be off-screen for a majority of the battle, and is sometimes difficult to keep track of during the fight.
