you should definitely try the new horseman's blade as it technically got a buff if you aren't abusing the projectiles
Mind explaining how you "abuse" the projectiles
@@duncandoubledog1447 statues iirc
@@1unar_eclipse They changed it so that pumpkins don’t spawn from statue enemies though
@@duncandoubledog1447 Basically laying down a couple statues on timers and just swinging into the enemies that spawn. You could just AFK everything by doing that, but they made it so you can't spawn pumpkins from statue enemies anymore so it can't be abused like that. Sad for farms that used it, but there are other wars to farm so not horrible
@@sirtopnotch1738 bro they patched that they literally just said that
Edit: sorry I’m an idiot guys
Quick tip: Luck, as a mechanic, actually improves both your DPS and your damage reduction. One of the things luck provides a chance to recalculate is damage variation, recalculating negative variation into positive variation for damage dealt and vice-versa for damage taken.
Yeah luck is a pretty interesting and obscure mechanic, but can be a passive buff that most people don't think of. It's not entirely necessary in most circumstances, but for hard challenges and getfixedboi seed, getting max luck is just another thing to help you out. It's why I've actually started doing torch god
there is a soft cap to luck though if you get over 1 luck it doesn't improve any more, I think I watched a video that showed like 1.6 is the most possible but 1 is a 100% chance of rerolling so beyond that does nothing
@@ComfyCherry yep, didn't go indepth about it cause the wiki page does better at doing that.
@@riptidetube123 I just added it because most comment readers wouldn't go to the wiki. with the luck up perma upgrade being like .3 and then .3 from the greater potion and then I think a lantern night would be at near max.
EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE YOUR FACE
- Hey Gungnir remember that you can throw the chlorophyte set in the shimmer, get the chlorophyte back and craft the turtle and beetle armor set.
- I love how you can get bananarang pre-Plantera, it's insane how good this weapon is.
- GET THE HORSEMAN'S BLADE, it's pretty fun to use, also fun fact: Betsy's Sword has more melee damage and it goes through blocks but Terrablade it's more consistent DPS.
- And get the Berserk Glove and the Frost Shield, they're really good.
bananarang used to be better cuz there was no max stack size.
@@eliteshadowboii It was actually capped at 10, and while it was nice, it required multiple drops. Needing just one drop from the clown makes it far more viable for melee runs.
Edit: there’s still 10 bananas that can be thrown with the current version, so it’s actually only been a quality of life improvement and hasn’t lost any effectiveness.
@@eliteshadowboii blatantly wrong. it was an uncommon drop from a rare enemy and could stack to 10, so it was annoying to farm. and because of the stack, you couldn't reforge it
now, you can reforge it while it still throws 10 bananas
Why would he? Chlorophyte armor > turtle armor, and beetle armor < Valhalla knight/shinobi infiltrator.
@@purplehaze2358 how is chlorophyte better than turtle besides looks
The terra blade is now the best looking weapon in terraria. Coolest melee weapon.
as it should be, it is the blade of terraria after all
Personally think the flying dragon betsy sword is a cooler looking weapon
@@Urban_Goose w
@@Urban_Goose *_F A T F U C K I N W_*
I still think zenith is cooler
At certain speed boosts, the terra blade's projectile is less of a slash and more of a fucking wave.
A wave of supreme pain!
The new Terra Blade looks fantastic, but I’m really gonna miss stacking whip buffs with the Durendal and Dark Harvest to get ridiculously fast melee speed. There’s nothing quite like shredding Golem to the tune of 7k+ DPS with the blade/titanium/terra whip trifecta.
Edit: capitalization/spelling
"blade/titanium/terra whip trifecta"
What?!
I think they meant whip/titanium/terra blade trifecta
@@ninjawrech5342 + blade staff
@@ninjawrech5342 even that makes close to zero sense
The new terra blade is also significantly easier to use. The old one was just a little awkward due to its relatively slow projectile speed on projectiles that were, themselves, pretty small. Things like empress of light were kind of a chore using it.
Also, a hidden stat I rarely see discussed is that the old terra blade didn't actually fire its projectiles at set intervals. The projectile firing got _slower_ as its melee speed increased, gimping its long-range DPS despite the projectile dealing more damage than the blade itself clearly indicating it was intended for a long-ranged role. So the new one's guaranteed projectile with every swing is quite a nice addition to actually make melee speed a worthwhile stat.
You might've not seen anyone talk about it, but you can guess my shock when I found that faster swings≠more dps with the old terra blade, I saw it on a video once also, I just think that after the sword that drops from the saucer came out people stopped going for Terra Blade, and only made it to eventually make Zenith later on, so that's probably why it wasn't talked about much.
He knows how the game works.
@@bbittercoffee The 'sword that drops from the saucer' is called the Influx Weaver, or something close to that name.
@@shirohimayumikira234 Yeah, I haven't gotten it in a while, my knowledge after 1.3 kinda fell off
To the right of your armor slots are three buttons that let you switch between loadouts, which means you can store 3x the number of accessories or actually make different loadouts. I use it a lot for holding those accessories which are niche but helpful, the ones that you keep in your social slots.
I like to have a loadout dedicated to fishing gear. I put Warding on all the accessories since the defense of the fishing armor is so bad.
The change to Life Fruit spawning is one of the most underrated of 1.4.4 tbh
Just a reminder that bananarangs are obtainable earlier than light discs, yet more reliable due to having more projectiles that move faster and only having a little bit lower DPS.
Did you comment 3 times in one video? Wow
@@RustieAsf thats what i was gonna say
Some other commenter already said it, but you can Shimmer your armor so you don't have to mine more chlorophyte for turtle armor.
I don't comment enough. Loving the series! Best of luck on your adventures.
I think it could be really fun to go for the old one's army armor, specifically for melee speed. So the shinobi chestplate, and monk's bushy brow (Or just the shinobi set if it feels better to have the extra defense and set bonus). You can get some CRAZY terrablade damage
try that with the shinobi armor with two feral claw upgrades and the celestial shell it's absolutely insane how fast it attacks it can honestly take you until the end
Never been too much of a melee player, but this update gave the class a lot of love, it feels great now.
This melee series is so good. You deserve so many more subs! Keep up the great work🎉
im sure you already know this but you can put your pocket watch and dps meter in your void bag and it will still tell you info.
I think you should swap the brain of confusion or the scarf (or both) in favor of the emblem, the shell or another glove,
if you're interested in less defense but more damage but that's up to preferences for this one
I agree, he doesn't seem to get hit much on bosses and having more dps to have even less chances to get his is great
I also agree, melee is already super tanky on it’s own, those 2 accessories really aren’t needed
18:40 about that... 1.4.4 doesn't let you do any wiring shenanigans in the temple until post-golem...
I presume that would include placing actuators.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the bananarangs were dealing more DPS on plantera than they were on a target dummy?
Nevermind over 8 times.
dude how many comments do you have
@@ultan8924 im asking the same
3:14 there was a gold squirrel there...
Defeating Plantera with a plant, how fitting
Glove stacking is a really strong strat for this point in the game, honestly it kinda breaks it since you can kinda just steam roll the rest of the game
Heeyy right when I'm eating my dinner
I believe the chlorophyte change is a slight damage nerf but the beam can’t miss. Far better now.
3:16 gold squirrel
At 3:19 there is a golden squirel
My eyes were at the right place at the right time
Noone gonna talk about how he completely missed that gold squirrel?
I think the correct term is, "A bunch of bananas" :D (Great fun. :) )
I myself am doing a melee only play through and can not wait to see how you take on ML. I’m also in master so Imma get some advice from ya for that.
After finishing my melee playthrough, Terra Blade is pretty busted. You don't need anything else. I had Terra Blade, Beetle Armor, no potions except for Well Fed buff, no reforges, not optimal accessories, and I managed to beat Moon Lord first try with little to no issue. The only real thing that might be hard to get is the UFO mount, but if you have good wings you don't need it.
Seriously, Terra Blade is INSANE. Carries hard post-Plantera all the way to post-Moonlord.
3:20 a casual golden squirrel appears
Ngl I actually wait for u to post this series so ik what to do in my playthrough
Picksaw is so much better as a 1/4 secondary item than it was as a 1/8 primary drop. Makes it not feel like you've been gipped by golem each time it drops instead of whichever item you're massacring him for.
You gotta farm the pirates to get discount card for your future reforges lol
You, talking about how the temple looks weird because it's green...
Me, a colorblind person, not even realizing
get the scale mail beetle armor for the 30% melee speed boost. Also use the horseman's blade and flower pow.
I think you should swap either the worm scarf or the brain for the celestial shell, dmg reduction and dodge chance don't synergize well. Possibly both, if you want the warrior emblem or the flying insignia.
Honestly with melee speed and offensive beetle armor you don't need warrior emblem to outdamage everything with terra blade, so celestial shell for brain is the best, but worm scarf can stay
Worm scarf should go ye, dodge chance is so strong and makes so much things more concvenient in master mode
Ditch the scarf.
It's so overrated, literally gets clowned by its Crimson counterpart, and I'd rather have an accessory that helps me to not get hit.
It's fine as filler if you don't have accessoires competing for your slots, but as soon as hardmode starts there's too many good other options.
@@DannYIIF I'm at post golem running celestial shell, worm scarf, frozen paladin shield, fire gauntlet, bat wings, master ninja gear, and boots (which I'll be dropping when I get a mount for a warrior emblem or something), the only thing ever competing for slots for me is the yoyo bag when I want to use yoyos, the worm scarf is pretty nice in master mode specifically because you get a passive 42% damage reduction when stacked with the shield, and even more when on low health
Every one of the Terrablade tree sword buffs have been amazing. My only gripe is that Muramasa is in a weird spot, since I tend to have Hell-tier gear when taking on Skeletron which means that it's the last piece for Night's Edge.
Personally I feel like the look of the projectile with the old terra blade looks cooler (texture wise), but the way the weapon behaves and performes is better in the newer version.
This. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
You should try going full glass-cannon: 4 gloves and terrablade. It might be interesting
‘Gotta be careful about those tentacles’
Hmmm
Don't forget about stuff dumped in the void bag!
That blood moon music gives me nier vibes
He deadass gave the terrablade psycho knife speed
Let’s gooooo new video🎊
New terra blade I just love the projectile it swings and how fast you can make it
13:34-13:39 Damn man, heard that before
I’m not sure if the Light Disc and Bananarang nearly matching in dps when one is pre-mech and one is locked behind the Destroyer says more about the disc or the banana
I feel like the aegis fruit and vital crystal's effects should be swapped. A few points of defense is worse than a slight regeneration boost, so it would only make sense for the one that's obtainable later in progression to have the stronger effect.
5 defense is probably better pre hm
i was watching a "that chemist" video and I swear to god you are him literally share the same voice.
IMO I prefer the beam fired from the old terra blade but if it had the mechanics of the new one then I’d happily take that. Either way, the new effect looks pretty cool and does it’s job of a work horse blade
Chlorophyte shotbow + Ichor arrows carried me all the way to cultist
Wow I didn't realize 1.4.4 got melees a huge overhaul
Terra blade with melee speed upgrades can, not even kidding, outperform endgame weapons like meowmere and star wrath. It's actually insane now lol
Sure, by that point the damage is a little lackluster, but it's so easy to land hits that it can effectively deal more damage on a regular basis.
The buff to star wrath makes that a pretty insane contender as well.
the bananarang carried thru the mech bosses, it is very good now
What's the item in his inventory at the bottom right corner? Looks like a skull or a mask.
Master Mode Mount from Wall of Flesh. Forget what it's called, but it's an Undead Bull iirc
Goat skull, mount from master mode wall of flesh
@@nora_kopit goat skull
You should do a vid trying to find the fastest you can make a melee weapon swing
If you have spare broken hero sword, make a terra toilet
You should try the ballista rod
This is sadly pure melee playthrough
19:24 "speaking of damage we're taking a lot"
530/600 hp
Just so you know you don't have to manually put your coins into the money trough, you can now quick stack into it
Melee is now my favorite class
You said "uh, uhm, ah" a total of 82+ times in this video, 90 in another. The more you know!
Damn how did you get those jungle caves to generate like that I can never find any actually good jungle caves
Definitely don't forget the celestial shell too it gives loads of melee speed
i did like 5 blood moons and didnt get the bananarang so i just used death sickle for plantera which was pretty decent
I was doing a melee playthrough as well and switched to summoner after killing over 30 mimics and not getting titan glove. Just have moonlord and empress left. Empress is hard mobile i have decided.
The terra blade is way cooler now for sure but the old one was so iconic i'm really sad to see it go
You should make the destroyer emblem and combine the gauntlet
All of the gloves stack but using gloves really help min max damage on most melee weapons especially things the benefit from attack speed aka terra blade or tne 😊
You should have tried it with whip swapping
lol, coincidentally, they nerfed the speed it gains from melee speed attributes by 25%
the new bananarang is honestly nuts carried me all the way to plantera easily on master mode
I used to play melee speed terrablade a long time ago but then they nerfed it so it only fired a projectile every other attack but the build still worked. Guess it got buffed again.
you forgot the breaskers glove its really good
13:33 What the temple room is humongous right? It's massive, it's not small... right guys, I mean that's at least average... got a good personality... takes u out to dinner... cares about your feelings. it's not small...
u could also get the beserker glove to get more melee speed
i love your videos gungingir❤
Red Bull gives you wings
I would get rid of the brain of confusion
I dont know if you are going to, but make sure to get the sword from Betsy, it is OP
Love that melee is now This op. I eish They buffed def abit lowered projectile dmg and buffed true melee dmg a bit more but i love it
If you don't mind sharing what mods do you use?
You gotta try the zenith seed after this playthrough!!! It is insane!
3.17 missed gold squirrel
The terra blades speed is even faster when using the DPS beetle set
The new terra blade is way better, I think technically is has slightly lower dps but realistically hitting with the new projectile is alot easier plus I think it has infinite piercing on top of the projectile speed making it way better for crowds of enemies. Because of the bigger projectile it's easier to focus on movement so surviving is easier, I actually like it more than the zenith because of the new look.
WHAT!? Try the Fetid Baghnakhs with that speed!!!
sorry but i liked the old terrablade with the projectile shooting faster with more of them and more damage :)
I cannot believe you still didn't use the best and overpowered flask in the game 😔
The party flask
Replace shell for Obsidian shield. That shield is pretty much useless at this stage of the game...u kill anything before that knockback hurts you. But the Cthulu shield, that's the best boss item drop apart from demon heart
Bro... I was not expecting the Terra Blade to go that hard.
Have you tried the new void bag changes yet?
I’ve spent almost 8 platinum trying to get a godly or legendary terra blade at this point I’ll take a superior terra blade but I can’t even get that.
you should get the possessed hatchet
Was the gungnir named after gungnir?
Quick Question. If 4% melee speed gives 4% more projectiles = 4% more ranged dps then isnt it just the same as menacing?
rip old Terrablade :(
I think I prefer the old tetra blade because it's the weapon I used killing moon lord for the first time and used it years ago on 360
Have you tried the new one?
