While exploring Cloudspire or any snow-covered mountain zones in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, you will occasionally notice your stamina bar reducing out of nowhere. It’s the result of Frostbite, and it’s more than simply annoying in already occurring enemy chaos. This guide explains what Frostbite does, where it appears most, and how to cure and prevent it in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
What is Frostbite?
Frostbite is a cold-based status effect that builds up either from exposure to a freezing environment or from certain water/ice attacks. When the light blue meter fills, two things happen:
- Your stamina is instantly cut in half
- You take a burst of direct damage
It’s not as deadly as Despair in terms of instant death, but Frostbite completely disrupts your movement and ability to dodge or chain combos, especially during fast boss phases, and that burst damage stacks on top of whatever else is attacking you.
Where You’ll Run Into Frostbite Most
Frostbite is an ailment Wuchang has to usually deal with in cold regions and ice-based enemies. You’ll see it more frequently once you enter the Cloudspire region including:
- Snowy Passage
- Cloudspire Outskirts
- Snowpeak Pass
- Cloudford
- Rebel Camp
It’s also triggered by enemies like Huang Yan, Mistress of the Night, and other water-element mobs. Simply walking around in snowy zones causes slow Frostbite buildup unless you’re protected.
Best Items to Cure Frostbite in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
There are two main items you’ll want to keep on hand once you visit Cloudspire.
Sapphire Lotus Seed
This is the most common Frostbite cure item. It removes Frostbite buildup and cures Frostbite immediately. You can find Sapphire Lotus Seeds all around Cloudspire regions, mostly near glowing loot drops or corpses; otherwise, buy them from Wu Gang for 160 Red Mercury.
You can carry up to five at a time in your active inventory, and extras are stored and automatically restocked when you visit a Shrine. These should be in your quick-access hotbar before entering cold zones.
Spicy Soup
This rare consumable not only cures Frostbite, it prevents any new buildup for a short duration, acting like an immunity buff against environmental Frostbite. Spicy Soup is found near corpses in Cloudford or on snowy paths and bought from Wu Gang for 100 Red Mercury
It’s harder to come by than Lotus Seeds, but it’s great for long boss attempts or traversal through heavy snowfields. You only need one to stay protected for a while.
Items to Resist Frostbite
Moreover, Kong Wine doesn’t cure Frostbite, but increases resistance temporarily. The Fixed Origin Pill gives resistance to all status effects, including Frostbite, but doesn’t stop buildup already in progress.
Armor That Removes Frostbite
If you want to delay how fast Frostbite builds up, there are a few armor pieces with solid cold resistance. The downside is, you won’t have access to these until mid-to-late game:
- Senior Maid’s Scarf (Head)
- Junior Maid’s Garment (Chest)
- Consort’s Bracers (Arms)
- Consort’s Skirt (Legs)
Equipped together, they give 255 Frostbite resistance, which makes a big difference during long treks across Cloudspire or fights where frost attacks are constant. Still, don’t rely on armor alone and keep your consumables ready.
Frostbite won’t kill you immediately, but it will cripple your stamina at the worst possible time if you ignore it. The moment you see the blue ring start filling, act fast. With the right items to remove Frostbite in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and a bit of prep, Frostbite becomes a non-issue. Without them? You’ll feel like you’re fighting with one arm tied behind your back.
