@@DollarStoreMiniFridge i know, it's my main class, but in comparison with other classes, Summoner is Very underlooked by relogic, sorry for the bad grammar, i just started learning english, but i think that is understantable...
@@luizantoniocarlosnogueira yeah, i love Summoner, but in fact, this class has the worse and more limitaded progression of the for classes in the game.
A good point for the abigail summon is since she tries to stay behind the character you can actually put ur back up to a wall and she will attack enemies on the other side of the wall (for ppl who may not wanna re-cast their summons outside of a wall over and over)
I like how you tier them based on their performance at the point of progression you obtain them. Im tired of videos dumping the pre hardmode minions in the lower tiers
Fr, I only see lists where things like imp staff are in D tier and flinch staff in F tier because "they do low dps" they aren't supposed to deal 2k dps at that point of the progression
Yeah it's like saying Golem is harder than the Twins because if you went back to fight the twins with Golem level gear you'd find it easier... Makes no sense
It’s so nice to see that almost every summon weapon has a good use case in the game, with only 4 being “useless” or just “not as useful”. Hopefully in 1.4.5 this will just continue to improve!
I just realised.... Ive been playing this game on and off again since 1.0.3. Its... just wild how there's still so much content being made for and about the game. Also thank you for this list, its useful :) !
Very solid video and agreeable tier list. If there was one thing about the video I could criticize, it's the spelling and grammar. Not a huge deal, but it's noticeable when reading every line that you wrote. It would be worth it on your end to go back and re-read every line and make sure that things are spelled right and the grammar is acceptable. Deserves a like either way!
Finch is better than you think. Prehardmode summons share frames with the same type of summon, unlike hardmode where it is all individual (except for 3+ spiders) This means 2 finches and 2 flinx has better dps than 4 flinx because the 4 flinx interrupt each other's attacks So if you can get a frog, slime, finch, and flinx then summon 1 of each you are very powerful prehardmode. Edit: C isn't bad for pirate staff but it should be mentioned it is probably summoner's best option for destroyer pre-plantera (unless you get terraprisma) and even does well against golem compared to other available summons if you happen to get it. (Again, except for difficult to obtain summons like tiger and terraprisma)
W ranking and editing. The music choice and editing provide a calm and easy to read editing style. I also appreciate how you rank weapons on how good they are when you get them, like putting finch in F because Terraprisma is better. Defo dropping a sub 🔥
Another thing that makes the sanguine good is that it has good base damage allowing it to pair with the forbidden armor better as you use a mage weapon instead of a whip with that set, meaning you lose tag damage. For the sanguine that’s a much lower percent of your overall damage than it is with the blade staff. Combine that with the perfect tracking and it’s a great way to have a super consistent amount of DPS in addition to a magic weapon.
There probably is higher damaging and defense builds using mele/magic/ranger then summoner builds for boss fights. But summoner has got to be the easiest to trivialize the other 90% of the game when it's just normal mobs while you adventure. Great tier list n video!
This is the terraria tutorial channel with the my favourite graphics, animation and music that I've seen yet! Could you please also do some classes and stuff for the calamity mod one day?
Pygmy staff is my personal fav. With the right equitables you can get them up to like 70 dmg. I defeated moonlord on master mode with the Pygmy staff. S tier fs
Four roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel all And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other 3, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because they were grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And all that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first three for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Four roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
very cool how you rank them on their performance based on the level of progress youd obtain them at, instead of dumping the earlygame ones in low tiers
The vampire frog staff can be your first summon weapon if you’re lucky enough to find lava early. What I like to do is set up a pool at spawn with two chambers, top left and top right. Put platforms down above the water and have the wooden platform HOIK wall into a small room with lava. Enemies fished up will eventually find their way into the lava rooms and boom! Vampire frogs!
I see we just casually overlooking the fact that abigails flower is S tier for farming early game because she passes through walls. When you build a 2 wide hole and stand on one side facing away from the hole she will attack every thing that falls in. You can afk.
Holy shit I got the slime staff the first night night first play through, I never thought that it was that rare, I thought I got when I picked up a my first fallen star, and I thought it was something everyone got. 😭 first time in my life I’ve been this lucky
7:59 personally, i think raven staff is far too difficult to use on anything mobile due to how short of a range they're willing to attack in. if they had a constantly active hitbox, maybe they'd be useful for kiting faster bosses, but until then it's actually considerably easier to fight eol with deadly spheres.
Im a summoner main and to be honest I’ve always preferred the stardust cells over the stardust dragon because I feel like the dragon AI is prone to attacking very far off targets leaving me alone to die to other enemies, however the cells stay close and attack approaching enemies making them better bodyguards lol. The dragon is really good against slow moving tanks like moon lord. When I was fighting empress of light in daytime, the dragon had a hard time dealing reliable damage to her and would get distracted easily but the stardust cells we able to kill it a lot faster. They’re two separate weapons though with totally different uses. Still a great list
My problem with the stardust cells is that terraprisma exists, and does a better job So there is no point in putting it on the same level that terraprisma
I remember in my first play through, I was fishing in a Mushroom biome. I kept getting ambushed by enemies, and Stardust Dragon did so little I opted for Xeno Staff. Note to self: make both summon weapons.
Whips aren’t meant to be a weapon, they’re support weapons for your minions. That’s why you find very little armour sets buffing whips specifically. Also the stardust whip/fishron whip are gonna be sick
I found the imp staff to be quite frustrating to use because sometimes they wouldn't shoot the boss at all. I remember being frustrated during the last ~10% of WoF HP, because they just refused to shoot her and i had to kill her with a whip.
Just recently started a new character and server with my kids after a few years hiatus and got 3 summon staffs so far. We're still pre Skeletron. Finch, slime, and vampire frog. 🎉
Did a summoner expert run recently, gotta say, the majority of hardmode felt like a true struggle, then once I was able to get stardust dragon finally, it felt immensely easier
Im so glad to see the flinx staff get some recognition. Although it doesn’t do super high damage, it attacks really quickly and sticks to the enemies very well, allowing it to do good consistent damage to all kinds of enemies. Some of the early game projectile minions may miss a lot of their damage, and I think the flinx are better than them against enemies that move a lot.
That's some quality work! Btw what do you think about tempest staff if it's been acquired pre-mech? Do you think it outclasses blade/sanguine at that part of the game?
As a summoner i dont have skill but with this teir list i could prob get a few of the s classes that are easy to get, othe then that i appriciate your work
I always set up a simple black recluse farm in preH so I can immediately get full spider armor, staff, and the sentry. Also the poison staff isn’t too bad for mages
Hopefully not just a me thing, but I feel like the texts are too fast and I find myself pausing a lot to read them. Other than that, really awesome video! A very high quality tier list with an actual understanding of the summon mechanics.
my reccomended progression for summons pre boss: flinx staff pre hm: imp staff with vampire frog or hornet staff pre mech: sanguin or blade staff pre plantera: raven combinated with desert tiger if got the key pre golem: xeno staff or terraprisma if ur good enough to get it pre moonloord: stardust dragon or terraprisma
Xeno is post Golem. I'd also suggest Optic instead of Sanguine for Plantera. It no longer suffers from constant issue, and so the damage output is higher than Sanguine. Sanguine by the way got nerfed through a bug fix that cripples it's damage in medium-close range, plus there're now actual competitions post Plantera like Raven, Deadly Sphere, etc
I played with friends and we took it really really slow and really grinded out pre hardmode and did like a ton of stuff before entering hardmode. anyway I went summoner and the hornet staff sucks. I think it needs a slight buff or rework. My thought maybe a little less damage and make the wasps shoot homing projectiles or just make it so where it can hit stuff....
Idk I love the charm of how borderline useless the early game weapons are in terraria that I installed the mod that lets you level them up and do challenge runs where I use almost exclusively that weapon(s) to see how broken I can make them. Almost like the Terraria version of Sung Jinwoo with his Shadows.
Abigales flower is actually s tier because it upgraded its a beast erly hardmode. Especially with the firecracker this summen can easily deal 100+ damage.

Abigail’s Flower can be very easily gotten before any other summons, imo it’s the best early game summon.
Four roads diverged in a yellow wood,

the editing is crazyyy
I think devs completely killed the Sanguine Staff. It is extremly slow compared to what it used to be. It was one of my favourite summoner weapons.
nice edit, good work 👍
my reccomended progression for summons
pre boss: flinx staff
pre hm: imp staff with vampire frog or hornet staff
pre mech: sanguin or blade staff
pre plantera: raven combinated with desert tiger if got the key
pre golem: xeno staff or terraprisma if ur good enough to get it
pre moonloord: stardust dragon or terraprisma
The sanguine staff can also carry you from pre mech all the way till the pillars with ease. It's really good.
Xeno is post Golem.
I'd also suggest Optic instead of Sanguine for Plantera. It no longer suffers from constant issue, and so the damage output is higher than Sanguine.
Sanguine by the way got nerfed through a bug fix that cripples it's damage in medium-close range, plus there're now actual competitions post Plantera like Raven, Deadly Sphere, etc

Slime staff is used in money farms though. Thats a +

I really just paired it with other minions like the flinx and imp. I saw the poison more useful than the minion itself
I think optic staff should be higher, for me it was a very strong weapon for mechs and plantera
