North Pole

The North Pole is a Hardmode, post-Plantera spear dropped by the Ice Queen during the Frost Moon event. It fires an icy spear projectile with no mana or ammo cost, similar to the Daybreak. The projectile travels straight and is then affected by gravity. It leaves a trail of snowflakes that deal damage, effectively "carpet bombing" the area between the player and the landing point of the projectile. The projectile fired will break upon contact with any enemy or block, and the weapon does not have autoswing.



Tips

 * Fighting enemies out in the open gives a huge advantage.
 * Aim it straight up and launch the missile upwards to allow all the snowflakes to descend and rain damage against large targets. This can destroy weaker bosses with ease.
 * This spear can take easily care of The Destroyer, allowing a quick defeat. Fire it up in the air to create snowflakes which can damage the body all at once.
 * The snowflakes that spawn are affected by some form of wind, that changes intermittently. This is the only proof of wind in Terraria as of before 1.4.

Trivia

 * The is the northernmost point of the Earth, traditionally stated as the location of Santa Claus's home and workshop. Being a spear, like a pole, it uses North Pole as a pun. It follows from the weapon being dropped during the Christmas-themed Frost Moon event.
