Cool Whip



The Cool Whip is a Hardmode whip that, upon striking an enemy, creates a temporary snowflake projectile that chases nearby enemies, dealing 15 damage to them on contact. The summoned snowflake ignores 30 enemy defense and is not affected by damage bonuses outside of banners. If a snowflake is already summoned, attacking with the whip will reset its timer instead of creating a new one.

Like other whips, it causes minions to focus on the last-struck enemy. It also inflicts the Frostburn debuff for 4 seconds.

Trivia

 * It is the only whip in the game with a tag that does not interact with minions in any way.
 * The item and its tooltip are a reference to the brand of imitation whipped cream.
 * The tooltip is also a reference to the "Barely Legal" episode of the American animated sitcom Family Guy, in which Stewie asks Brian for some Cool Whip with strange pronunciation.
 * With perfect timing, it is possible to summon a snowflake at the same time the previous one is about to despawn. This way the players can have multiple snowflake summons.
