Amarok



The Amarok is a Hardmode yoyo which has a chance to inflict the Frostburn debuff whenever it hits an enemy. It has a reach of 18 tiles, and its duration (time until it needs to be thrown out again) is 15 seconds. The Amarok has a 1 in 80 (1.25%) chance to drop from any enemy defeated in a Snow Biome.

Its best Modifier is Godly.

Tips

 * This is a weapon worth farming for. It can be acquired immediately upon entering Hardmode, and is the strongest yoyo available prior to defeating a Mechanical Boss.  If playing on Expert Mode, you should have some extra cash for reforging to Godly (each reforge costs between 5-10 gold), and you'll need it to compete with the tough new enemies.
 * A good synergy can be made with the Magma Stone, to inflict Frostburn and On Fire! debuff at the same time.

Trivia

 * In Inuit mythology, Amarok are demonic wolves. They supposedly hunt alone and attack travelers wandering alone after dark.
