Ice Sickle



The Ice Sickle is a Hardmode 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 and Ice Tortoises (1/200 chance) in the Underground Snow Biome.

Its best modifier is Legendary.

Tips

 * 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.
 * Remains effective even in Expert Mode.

Trivia

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