Frost Arrow

Frost Arrow is an arrow that applies frost damage over time rather than dealing all of its damage instantly. Each hit deals 20 frost damage over 10 seconds, making it useful for adding sustained damage to ranged attacks.

Its main limitation is that the effect does not stack. Hitting the same target with multiple Frost Arrows does not increase the total damage beyond a single active application, so its value comes from applying the effect efficiently rather than firing it repeatedly into the same enemy. In practice, this makes it best used as a supplemental damage type on targets that will remain alive long enough for the full duration to matter.

• The damage is spread across a 10-second duration.
• The effect does not stack, so multiple applications do not build up into stronger damage over time.
• It is most effective when used early in a fight, letting the full damage duration run while you continue attacking with other weapons or ammunition.

Because the damage is time-based, Frost Arrow rewards steady pressure on enemies instead of burst damage. It is especially relevant in fights where keeping a target under continuous damage matters more than immediate impact.
