Jungle Armor VS Meteor Armor in Terraria #terraria
jungle armor or meteor armor which set is actually better for early game mage in Terraria on the surface jungle armor has a lot more to offer it has one extra defense increases critical strike chance gives you 80 bonus mana and it makes mana drained slower meteor armor on the other hand offers significantly higher base damage and no mana cost on the space gun or a zapinator but that’s it that’s where the benefits end jungle armor is obviously superior right well not really a lot of Terraria players think that meteor armor is only worth using if you plan to use the space gun or zaponator and it doesn’t increase damage enough for other weapons this is not true across most magic weapons even after drinking mana potions meteor armor yields far better results using the diamond staff for example jungle armor averages 129 DPS while meteor armor averages 145 DPS it may not sound that big but that difference does add up especially as you get better weapons terraria’s jungle armor is appealing because it’s obtainable earlier in the game and has a spec of extra defense but meteor armor offers way better damage ultimately they’re both great but in a regular Terraria Mage playthrough I would go for the meteor armor over jungle armor any

Just get both…
Jungle armor is better for the mana management to me the dps of meteorite may be higher but in pre skeleton I can't be bothered to fuck around with mana potions
Only zapinator with meotor can get your though pre hard mode get the orange zapinator your up to pre plantera
Im using this for a Calamity mobile playthrough
ON A ZAPINATOR!? SERIOUSLY? I HAVE PLAYED MORE THAN 2000 HOURS AND DIDN'T KNEW IT!
Just use Tim's Wizard hat and a ruby/diamond robe
I personally always use jungle armor because of how I play. Id im playing Mage or Ranger, i go all in on crit chance because you get a free 24% just from lucky. I see it as more reliable that raw damage increases
the hell you were smoking? Jungle armor is early pre hardmode and meteorite is late pre hardmode. Why youtubers make up debates about things they dont understand?
im just lazy so go gemrobe if you have the chance
kill brain or worm
get meteorite and do the rest of the game
Well, you can only get Meteor armor after the second boss in progression, while you can get jungle armor at any time as long as you’re skilled enough to not get eaten alive by the underground Jungle.
I did meteor for mine, used it till wall of flesh
does the meteor armor also include the grey zapinator?
More important. Meteor armor gives you infinite mana when fighting bosses. That plus having enough health and skill it can get you far enough to kill the EoC or BoC. Or kill enough to start making the respective armor out of demonite or crimtane.
Downloaded.
I preffer a bigger margin of error over damage
The trustworthy Zain ate r landing the still shot resulting in a install on EOW
You assume i get one meteor after i break 6 orbs😂
Peak short form content
If you can’t keep that dps due to low mana though then I still feel like jungle beats it. It honestly depends on play style like if you sometimes stop shooting for any reason or to dodge
They’re both pre-boss armor.
"the only benefit of meteor armor is damage"
>Uses damage as the only deciding factor
I wonder why meteor armor is better.
Plus, the meteor armor not having the reduction to mana loss means spending more time regenerating mana, which means it still has less avwrage DPS than jungle armor.
Please don't use Dummy DPS to determine what weapon/armor to use, Dummies have 0 def, 0 dr and stand still, so it can vary a lot from actual results during a boss fight for example, where the boss has some def/dr and moves
Jungle armor is better because you can get it without killing any bosses.
We like the pew pew pew pew pew pew pew
Space gun
Yeah you get slightly more damage, but for a lot less time than with the jungle armor
Me as a melee main: mmh yes interesting.
Terraria needs more moments like this. Would really add up to the build variety and make playthroughs less linear.
Meteor armor looks better👍
Nah its ancient cobalt
Meteor armor can also be obtained pre boss like for jungle armor, all be it more harder to get
The meteor armor also allows me to not step foot in the jungle after queen bee untill plantera
I think jungle is just a pre boss armour and meteor is what you should use after reaching it
Meteor Armor also just looks drippy as hell.
This ignores the fact that target dummies have zero defence and ignores that jungle armour’s bigger mana bar allows you to more efficiently regenerate mana if using a mana regen build due to less frequent switches between attacking and restoring rather than a mana flower build
Remember, defense is a flat damage reduction so a lesser base damage is mitigated more
back in the day meteor armor was definitely on par with if not better than jungle armor but with it being moved in progression to after the world evil bosses while jungle armor is still pre-boss, i feel like it's not really worth going for anymore even with the damage bonus
The first terraria boss I ever beat alone was brain of cuthulu with space gun and meteor armour on mobile. I don't know how bu that's just how it happened. (I had beat eye of cuthulu on console with my brother by abusing respawns with my brother on a realy old version.)
