Ankh shield defender here: first of all thanks to shimmer it's really not that hard to craft anymore and doesn't take that long I've been able to make it just because I had everything in most of my playthroughs. Second of all if you want a great hard mode use for the shield, I present Duke Fishron, he inflicts feral bite which can randomly give you different debuffs which the ankh shield will negate. Third of all it is one of 9 Accessories that give 4 or more defense(that's not that many) and is great for any defense build.
Ankh shield takes like 15 minutes of grind now that shimmer is here, some bosses like Duke fishron give debuffs that are repelled by the ankh so just put it in vanity and switch between frozen shield
Daedalus storm bow legit carried me on my first terraria run. legit make mechanic boss easy like hell. It can also be use against planters as well. Its just a good weapon and is well rated
As a Terraria Player Since the 1.2 Era, I would Say that all Items mentioned In this Video are accurate Rated. Expect the true night's edge. As of the re-work i would say that it's been over thrown by its brother and was barely used in 1.2 Lol. But yea the only item that stood the test of time Was 100% The M.N.G, Anhk Shield and Boots ✅️
Imo Saying that the 3 fathers of lifetime accessories aren't "worth it " is wrong. Respectfully this is like saying have a totem of undying or a shield isn't worth it based on progression speed and Objectives of the new meta of the game.
Shimmer made Ankh shield super easy to get, so I don't get the whining. And all you need is kill a few enemies. And these protections are relevant all the way even against Martians. Terraspark Boots are so much more painful to get, with many ingredients only appearing in random chests, so you might not even get them in your world. Master Ninja Gear is trash. Dashing is overrated (all bosses have very predictable moves), and who even cares about climbing walls that late.
you can get ankh shield from start of hardmode so is not late game also is super easy to get with shimmer, you can legit get 4/10 of ankh shield components pre hardmode..
Ankh shield can be crafted as soon as you get into hard mode. It's not for bossing, but for mobbing. By contrast, the Cell Phone I think is far more overrated.
Yeah the ankh shield and the cobalt shield are super overrated, knockback means nothing when you get good enough to not get hit every 5 seconds, and even then dashing often serves the same purpose of getting you back into full speed
Ankh shield is actually not hard to craft at all, I almost always find myself just gathering the materials passively during my playthroughs. However, it’s not nearly as good as people say it is
Ahnk shield has intrinsic value to me, I love finishing the thing for a tiny defense increase, the other effects are just cool bonuses but it really does bring all the farming together, so many enemies/biomes would go unused if not for the anhk shield recipe tbh
this is a crazy hot take but the moment you get wings they should replace your boots, so long as you are airborne (which is realistically 99% of the time) you gain a greater horizontal top speed. If you really need horizontal speed on the ground, you can dash or grapple. The extended flight time seems nice but the increased vertical speed from a balloon/frog leg is generally more useful for dodging than 0.7 seconds longer of a flight time, to me something like 17% damage reduction or 15% increased damage feels like a better spent slot
The Ankh Charm isn’t nearly as hard to get as it used to be. By the time you can even think about crafting it you’ve likely got at least half of the components already, and any duplicates can be shimmered.
While the ankh shield has its place and the shimmer makes it way easier to craft the paladin shield upgrades like the frozen shield and hero shield gives the knockback immunity plus meaningful defensive effects beyond some quality of life debuff immunity. Of course because it’s post plantera the knockback immunity of the obsidian shield still has its place but going for the ankh shield in comparison won’t carry much weight
I kind of wish our character had a starting running speed, and the boots item just added improvements to it. I want to use other equips, but its really annoying to move around without the boots equipped. I also wish that the slime staff was a drop or craftable item from King Slime, and the Slime Gun was an actual super early game, ranged weapon that used slime as ammo. Would make fighting Slime King have a bit more purpose/ give more fun options for new players
I got the zenith in 4 hours and 36 minutes in a really lucky world and even so it took me 5 fricking hours just for the balloons and I stand another 2 hour for the lucky horse shue so I totally agree
Can i be real? I need to say it, True Excalibur is better than True Night's Edge in the tems of Plantera, because while True Night's Edge gives more area control, True Excalibur actually gives more damage and easier to use, so its better for plantera, which honestly idc since i play Summoner most of the time

If the items are overrated, that means THEY ARE good, but people just praise them too much.

Do a video on Terraria’s rarest items and if there worth obtaining
bro who said master ninja gear is overrated 😢
Do a video trying to figure out what is the most useless/pointless item in Terraria like what Odyssey Central did with Minecraft
If you get the ankh shield pre mech it’s pretty good.
397 is so awesosme

i like apples

True Knight's Edge used to be awesome when you could use it way earlier than the true excalibur
Did he just say the TNE is LESS worth it than master ninja gear?

I cant live wichout terras0ark boota

I agree with you on the ankh shield, i usually just beat bosses and don't even consider it until i've beaten ml and trying to collect valuable items

hudson j been feeding the fans crazy lately

if components for terraspark boots (like lava charm) were easier and faster to obtain, these boots would be worth it
Oh boy can't wait to see the comments on this one
