Pls make reviews on exo staff or optic staff, I feel like these two are underrated bc ppl never admire how good it can be to catching up to flying enemy
A simple tip for anyone struggling with OOA; _construct a second level._ Go up about 10 or so blocks and lay down a set of platforms that spans the length of your arena. When you begin the event, use either the Flameburst or Ballista weapons, and alternate between putting them on the ground and on the platforms on each side of the crystal. Most of the time I see people failing this event, it's because of the dang flying enemies, who always manage to slip past turrets on the ground and then dive bomb the crystal and the player. Putting those same turrets a little higher makes a world of difference; suddenly, the flyers are barely able to make headway towards the crystal, as the higher turrets can now hit them easily, with the damage and knockback being enough to kill them before they even come onscreen, leaving the player able to easily handle the waves on the ground. The platforms also make it much easier to find and focus the Ogre and Dark Mage enemies when they appear.
you should also place loads of boulder statues on both sides to completely eliminate the swarms of grounded enemies. with 20 or so boulder statues on each side, the only enemies that need weapons to kill are drakins and ogres.
@@Mr.Pixelated yeah it is amazing then idk for tier 2 or 3 but if you have a good sword put sentries at either the portals or the center but use sword to kill wyverns as they dive Bomb
My strat is to lay explosive traps directly under the portal. Four of them deal enough to oneshot every flier, and even if you get a low enough damage roll, one more next to the crystal will finish any flier that sneaks by. Additionally you can trap spam one side for the first two tiers, and focus your significantly higher dps on the side the boss will spawn on.
ever since I discovered armor mixing, I began to think more about the OOA since the armor you buy with defender's medals can do extremely well with armor mixing. I'll definitely consider this weapon if I ever decide to do a ranger playthrough.
Fr, I was able to literally stand still for the entire phase 2 of the Brain of Cthulhu fight using it because it literally stunlocked it in place (Master Mode btw)
The problem with this bow is that it’s just way easier to get the Daedalus storm bow compared to it. The Daedalus stormbow may have less DPS, but it does enough to kill the mech bosses efficiently. That’s all that’s really needed of a bow during this stage.
Phantom Phoenix is basically just a shotbow with a Hellwing bow attached that’s post-1 mech and is honestly your best option up until you can get smth like the stake launcher to farm the later bosses with
Please talk about the OOA armor sets they are BUSTEEED just saying the huntress and the red rider with explosive trap cane/staff as a support is a FANTASTIC combo idk why people ignore this event
Love all the appreciation the Old Ones Army this channel is sending, a lot of the weapons and armor are really under rated (although some could really use a buff)
I remember a bug I had while using the phantom pheonix. For some reason I had a firerate bug that catapulted the firerate of all bows/guns to oblivion, making the pheonixes spawn much more frequently than they should, going to an insane 20kdps. I'd surely say that that interaction will always leave the bow in my memory
*Hey look, the weapon that I based my name off of* Seriously tho I love this bow it's my favorite bow in the game and I'm glad you are spotlighting it!
I like to use the huntress armour with the explosive cane and cursed flame arrows, this allows some for some insane damage stacking that Absolutely melts plantera and golem
Yeah after finishing Terraria using melee, I feel like I got no other things to do afterwards because I'm containing myself to using only strong weapons mostly melee. Theres so much weapon I dont know and havent used yet that even after defeating moonlord I still enjoy playing it
Old ones is pretty easy tbh. Use the sentries that match your class. Except after golem, it gets really hard after that but you can gear up a bit and upgrade your armour to the final tier after a bit. The weapons from old ones synergize pretty well with the armour and sentries. Red riding, phantom Phoenix and exploding trap works wonders
@@pikachufrankie the PP doesn't, it's an oger drop. The huntress armour buffs your trip mines, making enemies that take damage from it take extra fire damage. So the three of them synergize super well.
This Boh can carry you to moonlord in normal mode if anyone still plays normal mode. But in all seriousness, i always thought this boh was op and no one listened to me until i showed them, the ooa in master mode is very not nice to grind though, thankfully i usually get this first try.
I play on master and unless a weapon drop is an upgrade from what i use to get it, it's not worth it. It looks cool, but post mech and post ogre it needs to be stronger
If you want to make the ooa easier place blocks maybe a dozen tiles high, hammer them to face towards where the portals would be, the use the block replace to place platforms on there. Doing so will not allow anything besides Betsy to pass through
I usually make a point of getting this weapon. It's great for crowd control regardless of ammo, something ranger is not great at, it's really cool, and I usually do the OOA anyway because I just like the event
Strange. I got it once, I thought from Betsy, but it seemed underwhelming when I used it. Maybe I was using it wrong. I don't think I had any of those quivers and I didn't know there was one that could boost damage.
so sockrteez, have you thought about doing a play thru of terraria, because if you have I would probably sketch out some parts of it, Oooof course I'm talking about the, FLAIRON
hey sock! i've been watching you for a while and honestly the content has been really phenomenal i just want to request an item for you to review the eventide, it's dropped by eol and it's a pretty cool weapon, you should try it out! i promise you this weapon is soo good,

Just use a hoiked platform to keep enemies out

What the heck 30% of your video is an AD LOL
Using sponser block and yeah it is lmao
Actually though
60% actually
@@brunoaraujoespinyep
i always liked how this bow looks, but, you know, old ones army
Just some boulder statues and platform hoiks makes the event easy killing everything but the wyverns and gliders which can become jokes
i would complain about the raid sponsor but really its not hurting anyone and is giving sockreteez his well earned money
Oh wow, I dont think ive ever used this bow even though I have thousands of hours on terraria. Old ones army has such good weapons!! Im surprised!
Hell yeah I noticed the bow in the classes tutorial wiki page, I was waiting for this.
I've used it before and I love the damage, the main issue it's the Ogre's RNG but other than that it's pretty damn good.
I started asking for this a long time ago and I'm so glad you finally covered it.
Even though this is an old ones army drop, I almost always get it when I’m playing ranger.
The OOA weapons are underrated
As of 1.4.4 the OOA isn't actually much of a grind. It's totally worth getting the op weapons that it offers.
Ah yes, my favorite ranged weapon type: The *Buh*
Especially the Daedalus StormBuh. Possibly one of the best Buhs in the game.
AS someone currently on a Bows only run, I can't wait to see how this thing performs firsthand!
THIS BOW IS SO CRACKED OMFG
Aah yes, another one of those weapons where people who knew about it kinda just went:
"Wait, why are people not using th-... Oh right, OOA."
ever since I discovered armor mixing, I began to think more about the OOA since the armor you buy with defender's medals can do extremely well with armor mixing. I'll definitely consider this weapon if I ever decide to do a ranger playthrough.
Im definetly going to try out the bow !! I do have a question, what is that arena that you use so often in the videos? It looks very cool :]
Maybe have a look at the Blade of Grass? I've found its 1.4.4 version to be quite an interesting pre-Hardmode weapon.
Fr, I was able to literally stand still for the entire phase 2 of the Brain of Cthulhu fight using it because it literally stunlocked it in place (Master Mode btw)
I am still wondering how your duke mount is always so fast without touching water
The Phantom Phoenix is alright, but you COULD get the Tsunami in the same time as fighting the old ones army.
The problem with this bow is that it’s just way easier to get the Daedalus storm bow compared to it. The Daedalus stormbow may have less DPS, but it does enough to kill the mech bosses efficiently. That’s all that’s really needed of a bow during this stage.

We can’t live without sockrteez saying the word buh, it’s like a tradition now
you should do a vid on the light disc, carried me past plantera easily
look at the demon scythe please, both as a pre boss drop and its "intended" progression
That thing pretty much made my Legendary getfixedboi game possible.
Love all the appreciation the Old Ones Army this channel is sending, a lot of the weapons and armor are really under rated (although some could really use a buff)

You can tell how much effort sock puts in to his videos. Keep up the good work sock.
i'm doing a master mode ranger play through with an emphasis on bows since i've never actually done one. will definitely be grinding for this weapon
There are many goated terra-tubers, but there is one Sockrteez.
He didn't put up a Shrek image when he said "Ogre", unacceptable.
I feel like the Raven Staff would be a interesting look at
you never fail to find more and more things to cover about this game
The advertisement makes up almost 20% of the video
*Hey look, the weapon that I based my name off of*
Seriously tho I love this bow it's my favorite bow in the game and I'm glad you are spotlighting it!
of course there's a 1 minute and 30 second sponsor on a 5 minute video, completely reasonable and youtube is very usable without sponsorblock
I like to use the huntress armour with the explosive cane and cursed flame arrows, this allows some for some insane damage stacking that Absolutely melts plantera and golem
sockrteez there is an insanely good early game mage item that is overlooked so often :the book of skulls
Yeah after finishing Terraria using melee, I feel like I got no other things to do afterwards because I'm containing myself to using only strong weapons mostly melee. Theres so much weapon I dont know and havent used yet that even after defeating moonlord I still enjoy playing it
This is one of the coolest weapons in my opinion I just haven't ended up using it as I haven't done to much ranger playthroughs
Congrats on the sponsorship!
Do airial bane or whatever it’s called, it MELTS things head on
aerial bane
in my eternoty mode playthrough(i know its modded and stuff) chlorophyte shotbow was OP, like3k dps with holy arrows
This is so good it can take out plantera easy.
Bro can make any forgotten item unforgettable
The old ones army is my favorite event,
because of it's unique mechanics, but also the items you get from them
phantom phoenix and aerial bane are my favorite bows pre-lunar XD
Guys he’s in my floorboards, he’s whispering weapons to me
totally agree it carried my first play through
OOA Tip: The armor sets buff sentries massively. USE THEM.
I don’t usually go for this item because it’s a drop from OWA, and I hate the OWA :/

Meant to say OWA, fixed that, ty
Make a video on the Shadowflame Hex Doll! It carried me all the way through the mech bosses in Calamity Death Mode!
Old One's Army drops are pretty cracked
1/5 of this video is an ad in an environment where youtube already puts advertisements on nearly every video -.-
Your channel is heavily underappreciated, love the content, subbed!
Bro I use this a lot I got it from the old ones amor and I love using it nice that you went over it
The fact the sponsorship for Raid is literally a quarter of the video ☠️ i would like some content with my advertisement.
This Boh can carry you to moonlord in normal mode if anyone still plays normal mode.
But in all seriousness, i always thought this boh was op and no one listened to me until i showed them, the ooa in master mode is very not nice to grind though, thankfully i usually get this first try.
Im not sure about having an ad segment that's as long as the video itself
I play on master and unless a weapon drop is an upgrade from what i use to get it, it's not worth it. It looks cool, but post mech and post ogre it needs to be stronger
If you want to make the ooa easier place blocks maybe a dozen tiles high, hammer them to face towards where the portals would be, the use the block replace to place platforms on there.
Doing so will not allow anything besides Betsy to pass through
So glad that one of my favorite weapons in the game is finally being noticed
i somehow read that title as the weapon being bad and got a little sad, because that was the latestt thing i got in my playthrough
This event has some of the coolest weapons
Y’know ur only really going underwater in fishy fight if you have his mount so that really isn’t as big a downside as you think
I usually make a point of getting this weapon. It's great for crowd control regardless of ammo, something ranger is not great at, it's really cool, and I usually do the OOA anyway because I just like the event
I used it yesterday with holy arrows and all of my ranger troubles against mobs went poof
i learned sbout this weapon 3 days ago lol, thought it was a modded weapon
My friend makes this a staple of any run we do
Strange. I got it once, I thought from Betsy, but it seemed underwhelming when I used it. Maybe I was using it wrong. I don't think I had any of those quivers and I didn't know there was one that could boost damage.
Great video as usual sock 👍🏻
Didn’t know not many people use this it’s a no brainier if I’m doing a ranged play through 🤔
An ad that takes up over a quarter of the entire video... What has UA-cam come to.
That’s just the ranger unholy trident there basically the same in things you use em on
bro your sponsor takes more time than the normal content
Use oink method so that the old ones army is more easier to deal with
Me who does a new playthrough starting with the weapon reviewed
so sockrteez, have you thought about doing a play thru of terraria, because if you have I would probably sketch out some parts of it, Oooof course I'm talking about the, FLAIRON
Why are all the cool weapons in the Old One's Army?!? I guess I'll buy a crystal...
I'm so glad sockreteez has found a fun and engaging way to distract himself from the bodies he has in his basement😃
the rsl ad is making like half the video man
I love these videos! I can't wait to see even more!
Huh, I have 1000 hours played on Terraria, and I've never heard of this exceptional weapon. 😮😅
Please dont stop saying 'buh' when reviewing at any bow, it cracks me up 😂
But yeah, i'm gonna test this thing when i get the chance
Its very fun to use and powerful i recommend it !
who else wants to watch sock actually do a playthrough?
hey sock im just wondering how you get insanely fast firerate at the end of the video
how do ya do it?
I'm currently doing my first ranged playthrough, and I'm definetly going to try it out
it makes sence for me to get it since i started mixing armour sets with ooa armour
3:40 video starts here
This bow has to be my favorite
babe wake up new sock
Love me some Terraria! Love this bow! Only thing that's disappointing here is 1/4 of this 5 minutes of content is a Raid Shadow Legends ad...
hey sock! i've been watching you for a while and honestly the content has been really phenomenal
i just want to request an item for you to review
the eventide, it's dropped by eol and it's a pretty cool weapon, you should try it out!
i promise you this weapon is soo good,
I didnt even know this weapon existed 😹
old ones army content always bangs🤝🤝
If you're reading comments while the ad is playing here is where it stops just in case also you could just skip it 2:55
