Frost Arrow

Frost Arrow

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

Description

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.

Stats

  • 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

Properties

  • 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

Creation

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.

Mechanics

  • 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

Availability

  • 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

Strategy

  • 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

Notes

Frost Arrows are a key part of the alchemy system, allowing players to control combat tempo by slowing dangerous enemies, making them act less frequently.
