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 has a 0.56% (1/178) chance of being dropped by Armored Viking, Ice Elemental, Icy Mermen, and Ice Tortoises in the Underground Snow Biome.

Its best Modifier is Legendary.

Tips

 * The weapon is 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 Worms enemies like the The Destroyer or World Feeder that take multiple hits from each projectile.
 * The Ice Sickle is extremely useful in early Hardmode, because it can be obtained just after defeating the Wall of Flesh and can kill groups of enemies in just a few hits.

Trivia

 * The name "Ice Sickle" is a play on the word "icicle".
 * Compared to the Death Sickle, it's an inferior weapon, lacking auto-swing and block penetration.
 * Despite the name, the Ice Sickle and Death Sickle are actually scythes.
