Ice Sickle

The Ice Sickle is a melee weapon that fires a projectile with no ammo or mana cost. Its wide projectile halts in midair a short distance from the player, hovering briefly to inflict multiple hits on multiple enemies before dissipating (in a manner similar to the Vilethorn). It is dropped rarely by Armored Vikings in the Underground Snow Biome.

Tips

 * The Ice Sickle has very high damage for a pre-Hardmode weapon. Along with its infinite piercing ability and lack of ammo or mana cost, it can be very useful, and remain useful well into Hardmode, despite its short range.
 * Very effective for close-range area control, as most enemies will be knocked back and take high damage by trying to pass through the hovering projectile. It's also potent against slow bosses like the Wall of Flesh or The Destroyer that take multiple hits from each projectile.

Trivia

 * The name "Ice Sickle" is a play on the word "icicle".
 * Similar to the Death Sickle.
