If empress of light dropped her bathwater like queen slime it'd be the best boss drop in the game 👀
i disagree on the starlight, i used it in my recent run and with a few defencsive accessories like the cross necklace and hero shield you can comfortably stay close to fishron golem and the events especially the ooa
Starlight is S tier because its an actual melee melee weapon.
I fighted like 20 times eol in a world and get anything but the wings, thats why i always prefer get betsy wings
Terraprisma is for the drip, a vital componant in the game. S tier 7:16
terraprisma is hard to get for skill issue players lol
I goon to your voice but nobody will know this because it will stay on the bottom 🤫
5:51 I heard that
👁️👄👁️
The thing about the starlight is, you can increase its range with attack speed no? And its not a small distance if you go for it
amazing video bro!! I love this boss drops explanation content from you, and your voice is soothing too❤️❤️
"Starlight is useless"
NOPE
I used it in a casual playthrough after defeating EoL with the Terra Blade, and it absolutely shreds everything.
Not to mention 3 True Melee runs where it absolutely carried me through the endgame.
Sure, it may have range issues, but just run a tank build and you can get close enough to use it consistently. I used it to shred Moon Lord in several playthroughs, including 3 True Melee runs.
Something with this high damage and good enough range that you can use it with a decent Tank build CANNOT reasonably be called useless, bro.
Sybau daytime empress isnt hard, i literally beat her on a touchpad laptop on a moving bus with the witches broom with warding on half my accesories
I always fight empress pre golem
I like the terra prisma
The night glow is my all-time favourite weapon. If you fight fishron with it and spectre damage armour you DESTROY it
Just use GM to easily kill her, also you can someone her with 0,5 difficulty and then switch to 3.0 for master mode loot
Honestly I have to say the Soaring Insignia is one of the most overrated accessories at least imo.
Now yes, the infinite flight and enhanced mobility sounds awesome and is basically essential for Moon Lord, but at the same time, that essentially requires *two* accessory slots, which in master mode it doesn't matter as much since you get 7 but those two slots could also be used for either extra damage, defense, or in my case as a summoner main, extra summon slots.
Whenever it's available, I will ALWAYS go for the Witch's Broom since that doesn't use up an accessory slot and you get infinite flight. I pretty much replace all my mobility accessories for damage or summon increasing ones once I get the mount. Yes, the mobility isn't as good but it's good enough for me and I could use my remaining accessory slots for imo more important accessories.
Ofc everyone plays differently and that's what I love about Terraria. We have our ways of playing and that's okay 🙏 I just really love maxing out my damage output and summon slots as much as possible lol
starlight's range is actually AMAZING for a true melee weapon, i'm like 99% sure it has the most range out of any true melee weapon (aside from solar eruption if that counts as true melee)
with a normal melee build it'll have enough range to comfortably hit bosses like duke and eol without having to get close enough to be at major risk of getting hit
also works great against moonlord, though at that point you could just use the pillar weapons
its limited range will still give you some trouble with certain things (vortex pillar especially sucks cuz you can't easily kill the hornet larvae which leads to getting swarmed once they grow up) but you can bring a secondary weapon to cover long ranged combat, and switch to starlight when the enemy is in stabbing range to make use of its absurd dps
I killed moon lord using only starlight on master mode and the damage is really good S tier weapon imo
New Starlight with huge atl speed buffs allows you to attack insanely good for half screen and it was a much needed change.
Definitely B tier NOW.
Starling IS amazing, not as a primary weapon. It is always useful with the SOLE exception of bosses, it should be used alongside something such as the terra blade
Kaleidoscope is good even with it's nerfs in 1.4.5 and it's a great whip overall
If you play for the sake of being the most powerful immortal in existance, duke has better drops.
If you play because you wanna see cool weapons, change it up a bit, and explore areas of the game other than killing, empress has better drops.
Terraprisma is mega glazed because the showerless players can do it with a rock and a stick and its really good for its value if daytime eol is easy for you
Putting kaleidoscope in b tier because there are other good whips… after they added whip stacking back into the game… on the best whip in that point of progression…
youre using all 3 of those! And it will be part of the set you use with the endgame whips! cmon mannn
They should add 1 more ranger weapon drop for Duke Fishron so we have 2 weapons for each class but make him drop 2 weapons because farming him is so tedious
I believe they should do the same for empress of light too
"I would use it all the way until the lunar events" is a really funny way of saying "I would use it for the one boss between Empress and the Vortex Pillar"
I’ve gotten used to using flying mounts (especially the broom) and basically never use wings. I find it nice to actually have an extra accessory slot for something offensive (or occasionally defensive/mixed) in Master Mode, when dealing enough damage to end a fight quicker is important!
I wanted the kaleidoscope yet i got the wings.
Now rank MM weapons next
The night glow is incredible, from my testing it is actually the best weapon for moon lord if your using the specter hood
Why do people think the soaring insignia is Expert Mode exclusive? It doesn't even exist in Expert Mode
3:14 Ok the kaleidoscope may have some competition in its phase of the game but the idea of summoner is that you will be using multiple whips to add tag effects and make your dps more effective
