I have been uploading my Terraria Let's Play daily and the Destroyer fight happens in the episode after the next episode. I don't like to spoil my series (even though I'm fairly certain everyone here is a Terraria vet) but those who watched previous episodes can see that I had been saving up Fallen Stars for a while in the series and you can probably guess what I used them for 😅
There is not an answer to this question because all three bosses are unique and a mechanical version of there pre-hardmode variant. All of their loot is amazing and it all need to be collected to beat the game because you need one of each soul to craft the Drax.
i wish souls of might had different text, since fright is from "pure terror" and sight is from "omniscient watchers". might just says the name of the boss and i kinda wish they went with something a bit cooler 😔
the twins feels great to fight the destroyer is cheesy but only if your weapon hits muliple segments prime on the other hand is so random you could accidentally dash into one of his arms while he is spinning killing you instantly which infuriates me so much
I'd like to pose the argument that Destroyer being cheese-able is a good thing, within reason. Rewarding player intuition is important especially in sandbox games. Even an inexperienced player can identify that each segment of the destroyer registers its own hits if they use a piercing weapon and use that knowledge to make the fight easier for themself. In addition, having a mech boss that an experienced player can easily take down even on higher difficulties is welcome, because biome spread's main counter – the clentaminator – requires defeating a mech boss to obtain.
Destroyer still sucks though, just Eater of Worlds but without the mechanic that makes Eater interesting
I don't know, this is an incredebly tricky question for me.
I would argue that the destroyer is the hardest out of the 3 mech bosses if not prepared well or you just simply can't dodge as well like me. But he is still what seems to be a very poorly desined boss fight and just shoots lasers at an incredible amount, the probes can be straight up annoying without an cobalt shield since they can just push the player around which will make them get hit even more.
I would also argue that the twins are the easiest mech boss due to how much space they let you have for you to move around, unlike the destroyer who just takes up half the arena. There also isn't anything special i want to say about them though, since everything i am going to say is mentioned in the video anyways.
Skelletron Prime is one heck of a boss and i haven't noticed anything about him very special. He just kinda moves around and attacks with his laser and canon and maybe will hit you once or twice, and his spinning head attack is very easy to get stuck in, but also very easy to get out of with a slimy saddle or the other slime mount that drops from queen slime. I personaly do think that prime is the worst one because even with his deadliest attacks you can easily avoid him, but i wouldn't say that he is easy since even if you can avoid him he deals a lot of damage when he hits you and you need to be very careful.
I would have originaly ended the comment here, but i really wanted to talk about this.
Mecha Mayhem is my favourite type of bossfight in the entire game, it mixes all of the bosses togheter and requiers a lot of thinking to beat because even with maximum optimization a single mistake is enough to end it all. I can say it's a bit unballanced because it's projectile spam, and you always have to run away from the bosses. I think that the destroyer is incredebly annoying in this though since he takes up so much space and makes it so that you have very tight place to avoid the twins and prime, but it feels very rewarding to complete especially with pre plantera loot.
skelatron prime cus as a melee tank i love destroyer and he drops useful things like light disc but best of all its funny cheesing him with defence or nurse box in the sky or boulders or tome of infinite wisdom or anything else my first time cheesing him with nimbus rod is my best terraria memory .wereas skeli prime is just bad cus half the time it turns day cus i hate using commonly used or meta weapons so i lose the dps race and as you said twins are peak
The destroyer and there no contest he dont fun to fight unless you cheese him because all he does it is shoots thousands of lasers at you and probes that shoot more lasers sure there lot of ways to cheese him but that doesnt make him fun it make it more annoying, the best way to fight him isnt to fight him but to chess him.
Destroyer is extremelly easy with terrain manipulation and extremelly hard without it, there is no in between, also it basically demands piercing weapons.
i find destroyer the hardest honestly. twins and prime are easier for me. you get overwhelmed by probes and lasers if you deal too much damage too quickly and although its interesting in concept in practice i dont like it as a mechanic
I actually like the Destroyer a lot more than Skeleton Prime, and would argue him being so easy to cheese is actually a quality that makes him MORE memorable and fun, as it's not something many other bosses can provide.
I think Skeletron Prime is the worst mech boss. Not because he's any difficult, but because his attacks are pathetic compared to the other two. And if you beat him early which is something that you can do very easily with wrath potions and some decent gear, you get access to the flamethrower which melts through anything in early hardmode.
Skeletron Prime because he can break blocks on for the worthy and that once upset my sister when I was playing multiplayer with her cuz he damaged a build she worked hard on
Skeletron prime for me is the worst because he is able to destroy blocks in for the worthy. Probably the most annoying out of the three. The destroyer is next because the only proper way to kill him is through cheese, twins is the best because it's the only one that isnt annoying or extremely powerful,you just need to avoid to make both of those eyes transform. There was a popular take which stated that the twins is the hardest boss,i do think he's the easiest nowadays.
destroyer. haven't even watched it yet, i'm gonna, but i think it's destroyer. i can't even fight the damn thing because it spams so many projectiles and minions that my fps drops to 2, i'm not exaggerating

Destroyer. Need I say more.
Destroyer is annoying
The Twins will get their own theme next update
Is that a hill or is that land going down, also make sure to put a hill in the thumbnail for the next vid
For the Worthy Skeletron Prime because of it's prime cannon but for normal worlds its the destroyer

the worst is prime, i hate the bombs in ftw

the destroyer is cheesy but only if your weapon hits muliple segments
prime on the other hand is so random
you could accidentally dash into one of his arms while he is spinning
killing you instantly
which infuriates me so much

Counterpoint: very long worm is cool

I think the destroyer is so underwhelming with all of the cheese and op load outs that exist to just annihilate it
The destroyer and there no contest he dont fun to fight unless you cheese him because all he does it is shoots thousands of lasers at you and probes that shoot more lasers sure there lot of ways to cheese him but that doesnt make him fun it make it more annoying, the best way to fight him isnt to fight him but to chess him.
The destroyer is annoying without cheese.
Destroyer is extremelly easy with terrain manipulation and extremelly hard without it, there is no in between, also it basically demands piercing weapons.
Before watching the video, my answer is the twins because they don't even remotely look mechanical
i find destroyer the hardest honestly.
twins and prime are easier for me. you get overwhelmed by probes and lasers if you deal too much damage too quickly and although its interesting in concept in practice i dont like it as a mechanic
Grubby since he has too many health
I hate the Destroyer
It's so annoying without pierce weapons and the amounts of lasers make me go crazy
I always just end up trying to cheese it, or doing it last
Glad we all agree its not the twins. Such a fun fight, I agree that its one of the best fights, up there with empress and fishron
Obviously, Mechdusa is the worst mechanical boss.

skeletron prime is a fucking coward,, like genuinely every time i fight him he just runs away??
Clearly the worst mech boss is Mechdusa. /j

Skeletron Prime.
I really wished skeletron had some kind of a ranged attack after he loses all of his limbs just like normal skeletron has
even when sick i gotta watch the hudson j upload
destroyer. haven't even watched it yet, i'm gonna, but i think it's destroyer. i can't even fight the damn thing because it spams so many projectiles and minions that my fps drops to 2, i'm not exaggerating
Hot take: primes old sprite looks better. The eyes just look like they glow more
im noob and destroyer being easy helps me progress the other two😅
i think destroyer is fun because i like piercing weapons
