19:20 I take offense to the spider staff slander! They're actually really good, IF you bother to put down walls for them. Most people never bother with walls in their arenas, which leaves the spiders slowly flying after things and not really doing damage, which makes them look worse than they really are. Gotta have the walls for them to run on to see their full potential.

[@juxoq]

That assumes that players that spend dozens or hundreds of hours on a world would spend 15 minutes to wall off an arena

[@CJDEATHBOT]

Even with walls there are usually better options like Abigail or the blade staff, but yeah with walls they're pretty good. Main problem with them is they interfere with each others damage, so say you have 6 spiders and they all hit at the exact same time, only 3 of them will hit (because there is 3 different types of spiders that summon). So it's actually best to minion mix with 3 spiders and use the rest on something else

[@Krell356]

​@CJDEATHBOT yeah, but you may as well do 4 since the 4th is basically free since each one only counts as 0.75 minion slots.

[@Lennyst]

​@Krell356 that was changed in 1.4 so now they use 1 slot like everything else.

[@nssheepster]

@@CJDEATHBOT Blade Staff IS pretty insane, that's just hard to beat overall. For a weirdly long time too, I'd be tempted to call them overtuned if they weren't a summon weapon.

[@sock1]

Some summoner/pre-hardmode boss tips for people who might want to try this: Projectile damage doesn't increase in ftw, only contact damage. Choosing to reforge all your accesories to warding makes this entire challenge significantly more doable. Never use more than 2-3 of each pre-hm minion, due to how their i-frames work, you won't gain any dps in a lot of occasions. This doesn't apply to hornets as their projectiles are non piercing. It's still always better to minion mix in pre-hardmode. The sharpening station is very useful, you can just hold out a melee weapon (like a pickaxe) and the minions will still get the armor penetration, this is especially broken with flinxs/vampire frogs. Whips do not count as melee weapons. I take advantage of this when I'm low on health and have to stop whipping. (On some bosses with a lot of enemies on the screen like the wall it's actually better to not whip at all and let the minions do the damage, this also allows you to focus more on surviving. This is invalidated by hardmode whips as they deal a lot of damage compared to just 12 armor penetration.) A long platform is enough for slime/eye, fight brain on the surface and make a very long platform that extends to the entire crimson for first phase, this makes it almost impossible to get hit by anything unless you look away or something. For second phase you just need a solid block platform (which is still considered crimson) above you for when it switches the gravity and hook up to your main platform every time it moves. The slime mount makes queen bee almost free. Make your arena so every jump with the mount lands you perfectly on another platform and do this for 3-4 rows. Jump only when she dashes and drop when you're at the top. You can dodge stingers enough to not die by just moving left/right without stopping. Imps are good in this fight as she moves very quick. Skeletron isn't really special. If you're struggling to survive, just don't whip at all and hold out a melee weapon for the whole night. You have enough damage. You may need to do a lot of micro movement for the second phase, the shield of cthulhu is absolutely not recommended. The wall, use 3 frogs, 1 flinx and 2-3 imps. Make the minions focus on the top eye, this allows the frogs to constantly jump on both the eye and the mouth and deal crazy damage. Frogs have pretty good range so you don't even need the wall on the screen. As expected, don't whip at all and hold your pickaxe. Whipping would be both dangerous and make your minions focus on something else, which greatly reduces your dps. You only need to whip when the wall starts getting really fast, frogs or flinxs won't be able to catch up here, so it's better to summon hornets and imps for the last tug.

[@ME-fn4zz]

you are the only person besides myself that has ever said to use the frogs against the wall while targetting the top eye, I have seen it now where else and I am very happy someone else noticed

Summoner is by far the most fun class but Re-logic never gave it the love it deserved. I remeber when they updated the game and made it an actually playable class (summoning was always a viable class but the amount of summon weapons was VERY limited, and you needed to use magic weapons since whips weren’t a thing yet) I was so happy. With that being said, I still feel like Terraria is a pretty hard on the summoner class but it’s much more balanced now!

[@micahfurlow2624]

and the fact that summoners are getting more love in the 1.4.5 is incredible A summon counter, 1 new summon, 1 new sentry, 7 new whips, summoner chlorophite helmet Summoner's biggest problem (which is the weapon variety) is getting some big improvements

I can’t believe so many people think summoner is actually the weakest class in the game. The dmg potential is just insane, summons are a big QoL feature while you are just doing smth in the world and play style is actually interesting. From my personal experience it’s the strongest class in pre boss, pre wall, early hardmode, post plantera stages of the game (aka like 60-70% of the game, lmao) Super convenient gameplay, a ton of dmg and very rewarding risk/reward gameplay, where you can actually try getting closer to the boss, stack multiple whips and this risk will actually result in insane dmg boost. This class is my best choice.

[@DrUnfunny]

It's a shame the main content mods don't usually add whips. JUSTICE FOR SUMMONER!!

[@yaboidragonitehere1137]

Yeah, especially like that time I used the Blade Staff against the mechs on legendary mode, it's just that strong, the only boss that I took very short attempts at was Skeletron Prime, since when I put Dungeon Bricks, and used the Black Spot as my mount, it's just that easy

Hi! A tiny amount of advice: it's actually recommended to mix hornets and imps for the WoF, because the imps have great crowd control and inflict the on fire debuff, and hornets are great single target and inflicts poison

[@continental_consumer]

I prefer to use 2 imps and vampire frogs for the remaining slots. I then have the frogs focus on the top eye, meaning they'll jump up and down hitting every segment. Then i either hold a melee weapon with a sharpening station buff which will give 12 armour penetration even to minions, or just use a mage weapon since summoner/mage hybrid is pretty powerful.

[@fable23]

I kind of want to see a Summoner run where you can only have one of each summon on the field. So if you had four summon slots, you couldn't just summon four imps, but you could summon an imp, a vampire frog, a flinx, and Abigail. It would be a great way to showcase some of the weirder, less used summons. Plus the screen would be complete chaos, which is always fun

[@sock1]

Hey, I did that in ftw legendary. Surprisingly fun. Gets a bit annoying where you have to summon each one after death. Early hardmode is really grindy as you could just choose to beat the mechs with an army of pre hardmode summons and a spider (It's possible, summoner has more than enough dps) but I wanted to have the most fun/variety so I annoyingly grinded the blade, sanguine, and the pirate staff. It gets crazier/grindier after plantera/golem as you get access to desert tiger, xeno, raven, deadly sphere, fishrons summon and terraprisma. Would definitely recommend trying in lower difficulties first (or scrap ftw). Boss fights last 2 to 3x longer

[@thesodomeister2938]

Wand of Sparking did a video on this

[@eyrietracer]

Tip: you can fight skeletron prime at the ocean with a water walking potion or terraspark boots without the need of making an arena.

[@TheChainOfGame]

I see the logic, but won’t the Cannon’s bombs destroy the ocean floor? If that happens, then the water flowing into the hole would disrupt the surface, causing you to fall into the water. IIRC, water walking treats the surface as platforms. In this scenario you’d be eviscerated by the skull or other melee arms. I haven’t tested it myself so I can’t verify this, but I’m pretty confident in my reasoning. It would definitely work in other difficulties though!

Pro tip for the legendary golem fight. You can set your home right outside the golem room or use a rod of discord to get out.

[@RayIsEpik]

@@CJDEATHBOT the nights edge is good but I would argue that beenades are better because not only do they do good damage but they also allow you to stay at a distance, the hellwing bow also shreds WoF cuz of its high damage and piercing, and defense can be mitigated by just dodging.

@@RayIsEpik I get what you're saying, but I've killed the master mode wall of flesh with the nights edge in like under 1 minute. If you can hit 2 or 3 segments at a time, it absolutely shreds it.

"Defense can be mitigated by dodging" isn't really a good argument imo, sometimes things still happen, mistakes can be made, and melee has the biggest room for error.

Warding is only good if you always play melee because you don't know how to dodge. If you are any other class, you know how to dodge, so menacing will be better.

[@Goteryup]

@@alien3200 this is false, unless you can consistently no hit a boss you WILL get hit, and especially in master mode, sorbecafe did a really in depth analysis comparing them and the amount of extra damage from menacing is barely anything vs having to lose damage from dodging to survive. And even in master mode for wall of flesh, full warding let's you tank 9 Lazer shots vs normally like 3 so you don't need to be basically perfect when dodging the lasers then. Saying menacing is better just means you haven't compared them, or can CONSISTENTLY no hit all bosses on master mode

[@alien3200]

@@Goteryup you know what in my summoner playthrough, When I was battling moon lord, I was consistently loosing because I was getting hit by his attacks, all my accesories were reforged to warding but at one point I realised, no matter how much defence I have, if I get hit by moon lord once, it's all over. So I reforged my accesories to menacing and I was easily able to win. Warding is good pre hardmode, but late game when weapons deal Damage close to 100 menacing is better, because you get tons of free dps

[@CausticSalsa]

This was fire. I feel like the further you get into the game with summoner the easier it gets.

[@Bobiguy]

Props for using the betsy's wings. I mentioned that in a previous video I think. Hover is super good. I wish more wings had them. I tend to use the starboard with hover even all the way through Calamitas in Calamity.

[@jacklr4925]

Bro, Sumonner it's my favorite class of Terraria n Dang it! I know hoe difficult it's to play it un master. I can't imagine the suffering of play with that class un legendary. U r crazy Man xd New sub.

[@Mightyscandare]

Summoner gang :)

[@S0nk0s]

I’ve always wanted a video on a hardcore or legendary summoner build, thank you man 😭🙏

[@CJDEATHBOT]

I may have a hardcore one coming too... sometime

[@Phoenax]

The biggest thing about Summoner is that the best set you can have, considering Armor VS DPS isn't even full Summon set xD which really says a lot about the class. It would be cool to have like, some Summoner only accessories that would give some defense stats/buffs, like "gain 3 armor for each summoned minion", or something like that (along with some other buffs), so you'd have the choice of going Full damage build or a survivability build that wouldn't use other class set pieces

[@the-first-sin-Yuma_A.e]

You're a special kind of thinker

[@williamayers4043]

summoner really is busted, however you really need to switch out wings and boots for other accessories. and rely on mounted combat late game. otherwise its really not very good.

[@kiwistrawberry1506]

Best part was the fact you made an osogof tunnel, and even called it by its name. Waffle would be proud.

[@manbagan]

I wish they added a toggle option that switches whips after every hit automatically, if you have them adjacent in the hotbar

[@poppyseed799]

I don’t know almost anything about terraria but summoners are my favorite in practically any game, idc how bad they are if I can have summoners I will try to make it work. So I gotta respect this.

[@aaronninolanante7069]

Man, you have my respect and I'm amazed on this play through 😊, you gave me the excitement and the hype on doing the summoner legendary and I might not be able to defeat EOLD, you gave me that good feeling of accomplishment 😊

[@lilianmanzi8408]

I love sumoner so much that one day i am gonna do a chalange like this and its going to be my first video

[@evawkcohS]

anyone know what mod you use to get the glowing text here on the clockwork assault rifle: 18:52

[@CJDEATHBOT]

It's not a mod, it's when you pick up an item but your inventory is full so it goes into your void bag. Void bag acts as an extended inventory and overflowing items go into it.

[@evawkcohS]

@@CJDEATHBOT ohh cool, I don't usually use that, btw I love your content and it's an honour to get replied to by you keeo doing what you're doing you legend

[@goostav8235]

Summoner only is really fun. After they added whips it's really become the glass cannon class and imo it's so much more fun to actually have to doge attacks like it's life or death while dealing insane damage

[@lightning4743]

yes bc i did it but il watch the video cuz I'm interested in what other people think about summoner as I find it really fun and just for the info when i play summon i always get up close and personal with the bosses using whips i don't just use summons and run cuz that's not fun.

[@wick3937]

what’s the background music from at 2:36 i remember it but can’t remember where it’s from :/

[@blinkblade6962]

I remember doing this same challenge, but I made it so that I started in hardmode 😬 I killed some bosses but then the evil spread into my home and I gave up. Maybe that'd be a good next challenge.

[@Femme_Fatal0]

random reminder if you turn your platform into stairs you can fall through them without stopping but can still walk on them so it makes boss attacks easier to dodge in arenas (like still in a horisontal line)

[@kvandepladutse]

It’s always master mode but now it’s legendary mode finally

[@javierl9426]

AMAZING, I dropped Legendary Mode at Plantera in my Ranger run, but just seeing the afterwards golem hoooooly. You are really him, dude.

[@frosty5277]

did you modify the drop chance of summoner items? little weird how you just so happen to get the drop you want from your first boss drop

[@CJDEATHBOT]

No. I was playing on vanilla terraria. That's just how RNG works. Sometimes it gifts you, like in this playthrough, and sometimes it completely bones you, like on my shotgun only playthrough.

[@michelvanderlinden8363]

question: would it help if you summon different minions that apply different debuffs (fire, venom etc) or would that not really help much in legendary mode due to the amount of health mobs and bosses have?

[@darkfiredragon3410]

The only minions that can inflict debuffs are the Hornet Staff, the Imp Staff, the Spider Staff and the Pygmy Staff. - Hornets inflict Poison and have a decent attack speed, but kinda need the Hive Pack to be good and their shots are on the slow side so they miss quite a bit. - Imps do good damage, inflict On Fire! and pierce up to 4 enemies, but their rate of fire is much slower than the Hornets and the piercing is a double-edged sword, as they work with static immunity frames so multiple Imps will conflict with each other's shots. - Both of those are basically worthless in hardmode though, and since the only useful flasks you can get in pre-hardmode are the Flask of Fire and the Flask of Poison you'll already deal either of the two debuffs yourself. - Both Spiders and Pygmys inflict Acid Venom. - Spiders are great and basically free since you'll farm Black Recluses anyway, but they too suffer from static immunity frame issues so using more than 3 on a single target does nothing; they're also absolutely useless against flying enemies - aka most hardmode bosses, notably Queen Slime's 2nd phase, The Twins and Skeletron Prime, 3 of the bosses they're balanced to take on - unless you put thousands of background walls in your arena. Also Abigail + Firecracker with Spider Armor is better for both Queen Slime and Destroyer, so you can skip Spider Staff and just rush Blade Staff. - Don't use the Pygmy Staff, ever: minions get stuck, miss shots or both all the time in tight spaces, so they're useless in the post-Plantera Dungeon and Jungle Temple (tbf you should just temporarily take your Blade Staff out of retirement for those two, as every other available minion except the rare Desert Tiger has the same issue); the spears don't pierce, so they have basically no crowd control, making them useless against invasions - which is especially bad for summoners that are preparing to take on the post-Plantera Solar Eclipse and multiple Pumpkin Moons; it's kind of ok against Golem, but Deadly Sphere Staff or even Optic Staff are either the same or better.

[@MinecraftGirl4914_]

What song is playing at 31:46? I swear I've heard it before 🤔

[@lilchromie]

I did this on the zenith seed about a month ago and it wasnt that bad. Summoner is not nearly as weak as people think it is.

[@igu899]

You know, hunter’s potion helps SO MUCH against golem.

[@huyhoang3055]

quick question, why dont ppl make full use of the golden shower compiled with besty wrath? i watched some guides on yt but very few of them mentioned the debuffs of these weapons, even if u arent magic class i think they are still worth using? 55 def decreased on bosses is huge

[@CJDEATHBOT]

I couldn't use magic weapons. Also, the flask of ichor does the same effect as the golden shower, as it inflicts ichor just like the golden shower does with every strike of a sword or whip. The betsy's wrath is really good but unfortunately I couldn't use it because this was summoner only

[@huyhoang3055]

@@CJDEATHBOT o i didnt mean to suggest u to use it i just wonder why not many ppl know about them

​@@huyhoang3055Probably because most of the playerbase hates OOA so they can't be bothered to get Betsy's Wrath in the first place.
