Snowball FAQ

How do you get Snowball in Valheim?

Snowball is crafted at - from Ice x5.

What are the stats of Snowball in Valheim?

They are listed above, at every quality level Snowball reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.

How much stamina does Snowball use per swing?

A swing of Snowball costs 8 stamina, with a reach of . Stamina is what actually decides a fight in Valheim rather than raw damage: your food sets the pool, and a weapon that costs less per swing keeps you attacking where a heavier one leaves you standing still waiting to recover.

How much damage does Snowball block?

Snowball blocks 2, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 1.5. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.

What is Snowball used for in Valheim?

The things that consume it number 1, across Built with. That list is the honest answer to whether a stack is worth keeping: something with a single use is worth exactly one project, while something that feeds recipes, a station and a build piece at once is worth a dedicated chest.

How much does Snowball weigh in Valheim?

0.3 each, and it stacks to 50 — so a full stack is 15 of your carry limit. It is portal-safe, which means the weight only matters between here and the nearest portal rather than for the whole journey home.
