Frost Arrow

Frost Arrow is a special ranged ammunition item in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that slows enemies on hit.

A wooden arrow with a head soaked in frozen material. When this arrow hits an enemy, it applies a slowing effect that reduces the target's action frequency. This is created by “moistening” a Common Arrow with a Potion of Frost.

• Damage: 0-6 points
• Delay: 0.75x (relative to weapon firing speed)
• Durability: Single use (consumed on impact)
• Price: 5 gold per arrow
• Weight: 1

• Type: Throwing/Ammunition (Special)
• Usage: For use with ranged weapons like bows
• Consumable: Each arrow is consumed after being shot
• Stackable: Can stack up to very high quantities
• Special Effect: Slows the target on hit, reducing action frequency

Frost Arrows can be created by using a Potion of Frost on regular Common Arrows. This process is called “moistening” and transforms the basic arrow into one with special properties.

• When hitting an enemy, applies the Slow status effect for 5 turns
• Slow reduces the target's action frequency, making them act less often
• Slow effect duration: 5 turns (constant, not variable)
• Does not stack with other status effects like Paralysis or Burning

• Creation Only: Cannot be found as random loot; must be created by moistening
• Required Materials: Common Arrow + Potion of Frost
• Alchemy: Part of the game's alchemy system for creating special ammunition

• Excellent for reducing the threat level of dangerous enemies by slowing their actions
• Useful against fast-moving enemies that act frequently
• Good for bosses that rely on frequent actions
• Useful for crowd control when facing multiple enemies
• Particularly effective when combined with other damage over time effects
