Progression

Frost Legion

Mechanics

Hearts and Stars

• Hearts have a 10% chance, unaffected by luck, to drop if the closest player does not have full health. They restore 20 health when picked up.
• Stars have a 100% chance to drop if the closest player does not have full mana. They restore 50 mana when picked up, and cannot be picked up by players with maximum mana.
• Hearts and stars despawn after 8 seconds in Master Mode.

Mana regeneration

Healing Sickness and Mana Sickness icons

• Mana Sickness has been reworked to be more similar to Potion Sickness.
  • All Mana Potions now give 15 seconds. Additionally, Mana Sickness is also capped at 15 seconds.
  • Mana Sickness does not reduce magic damage anymore, instead preventing usage of mana potions.
  • Potion Sickness has been renamed to Healing Sickness for parity. Additionally, both buffs have a new icon sprite.
• Mana regeneration is no longer reduced whilst moving.
• Mana regeneration delay is shorter overall, and low mana shortens the delay instead of increasing it.
  • The vanilla values are from 0.75 (maximum mana) to 4.75 (minimum mana) seconds.
  • The new values are from 1 (maximum mana) to 0.5 (minimum mana) seconds.
• Items that reduce mana regeneration delay are now 50% less effective.

Movement speed

• The player's acceleration is increased from 0.08 to 0.15, nearly doubling it.

Respawning

• In singleplayer, the respawn timer is always 10 seconds on all difficulties.

  • If a boss dies or respawns, the player's respawn timer is reduced by 20/50 seconds.
  • The Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon now passes twice as fast if all players are dead in Expert.

Tile Placement

• The player's base tile placement speed is increased by 25%, and wall placement speed by 17%. However, using any other item halves tile and wall placement speed for 2 seconds.

Tombstones

• Tombstones' hit points are reduced from 300% to 100%.

Items

Accessories

• The Band of Starpower can no longer be obtained from breaking Shadow Orbs or opening Corrupt/Defiled Crates, being replaced with the Shock Absorber. The Band of Starpower is instead always sold by the Skeleton Merchant.
• The Megaphone can now be used as a tool, letting you talk to Stoffie.
• The Soaring Insignia no longer grants infinite flight. Instead, it halves flight time.
  • This will result in different flight lengths with the flight time reduction and speed increase, depending on the wings the player uses.

Ammunition

• Any ammunition that has negative damage subtracts damage instead of adding, cancelling out the damage reduction.
  • For example, Star Cannon deals 54 damage instead of 55 because items, including Fallen Stars, have a default of -1 damage. This is now fixed, and Star Cannon deals 55 damage now.
• GaMeTerraria re-balances many ammunition items by changing damage, velocity and knockback.

• Well Fed, Plenty Satisfied and Exquisitely Stuffed are no longer mutually exclusive and cannot be cancelled by right-clicking.
