Using the '''Frostbite''' can be more than a little irritating,as it's noisy while fighting and constantly stirs up more foes. On the other hand, it provides one level of [[Cold]] resistance, [[fly]]ing ability and occasionally [[freezing cloud]]s without any spell hunger costs, which may come in handy in escaping the enemies the *[[Noise]] inevitably brings. In addition, the [[Freezing]] brand may help out in [[cold-blooded]] creatures such as [[hydra|hydras]], [[List of nagas|nagas]], [[List of dragons|dragons]], and [[List of draconians|draconians]]

Desirability

Frostbite[1] is a +8 executioner's axe of freezing - great for Axes users who don't mind losing a shield. The freezing clouds add even more cold damage. The clouds can also help you escape, as enemies tend to avoid stepping on them. The noise may be an issue, but most characters who want to use Frostbite can handle being noisy.

Like other axes without flaming, use against hydras is not recommended. Works great against other cold-blooded creatures, though.

History

  • Prior to 0.19, Frostbite did not grant immunity to freezing clouds.
  • Frostbite was added in 0.18.
