Frostburn is a debuff that prevents health regeneration. It also causes damage over time effect when inflicted on entities. When inflicted on a player, they will lose (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 8 / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 6 health per second; when inflicted on non-player entities (enemies , town NPCs , etc.), they will lose 8 health per second. If the non-player entity is Oiled (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) , they will take an additional 25 damage per second, totaling to 33 damage per second.
On the Desktop version , Console version , and Mobile version , there is a stronger version of Frostburn debuff, called Frostbite .
The debuff is very useful early to mid-game, as only 32 enemies in the game are immune to it. On Old-gen console and 3DS , no enemies inflict Frostburn.
