A quick way to beat Terraria's Daytime Empress of Light, as summoner, explained

[@Terraw]

If you wish to do this post-Plantera, switch out Celestial Shell and use Raven, Deadly Sphere, or Desert Tiger/Firecracker. All are much slower than Xeno but will get the job done

[@namvutranngoc6945]

desertCracker has the best time from what I've experienced. despite the shitty whip range required to get good DPS, whenever you can get hits in it deals absolutely monstrous amounts of damage. raven and deadly sphere generally have shittier tracking and doesn't compensate as much in consistency compared to tony the tiger's firecracker-boosted DPS.

[@Gaster60066]

sanguine staff is the best option pre plantera

[@Accracy]

Yes because I like fighting day empress for 12 minutes with underpowered gear, thanks! (Doing the boss solo in a multiplayer world)

[@Gaster60066]

@@Accracy underpowered? that's like wanting to get post ml gear before eoc, do the right boss at the right time, or all i can say is "skill issue"

[@Terraw]

@@Gaster60066 But why would you do emp with pre-Plantera gear

[@Shyguymask]

When Xeno Staff's AI got fixed in 1.4.4 it had to get an attack speed nerf before release because it became overpowered. Then it had to get another attack speed nerf in the hotfixes because it was overperforming regardless. And even today it does THIS in well under 40 seconds. For those curious, with 4 whips and Betsy's Wrath, it can speedkill Daytime EoL in around 22-23 seconds.

[@haseebahmed2544]

Whenever I kill empress I usually get Betsy wings and soaring insignia instead of berserker glove and avenger emblem Since it has faster ascents compared to witch's broom and fishron mount(with rain)

[@witheri2um]

Just wondering. Can you give me an advice for my most optional boss challenge. Long story short i should defeat strongest boss first and then move on. And events that also have boss healthbar is considered as a boss too. So... how could i beat daytime empress?(no nighttime allowed too) Edit: it's master mode btw, summoner Edit 2: also im in mobile Edit 3: did i also mention im a masoshist?

[@ZenoCrasher]

What it comes down to above all else is knowing how her movement patterns work. You have room for choice in what setup you use against her, but what rings true for each and every one of them is that if you want to use it to its maximum efficiency then you need to learn her attacks. It’s not terribly hard, but it’s the most important thing to do.

[@yobrethren]

it's basically softcore touhou, with a flying mount or a good wings control it's not that hard to not get hit

[@jx5b]

@@yobrethren I dont agree with you. It took me way more attempts than i would like to acknowledge till i mastered her moves and attack patterns. Of course it easy now, but not so much before that.

This is one of the most simply explained, easy to follow guides of this fight, that doesn't involve mine carts that i've ever seen. Nice job TS👍

[@thewhitejawa]

note for people: if you find yourself getting clipped by the sun dance in phase 1 a lot, you don't HAVE to get in for the DPS, as phase 1 is a lot more forgiving than phase 2. make sure you stay close to her during the lances though, if you don't, she will definitely have enough health to do another sun dance after prismatic bolts, which will probably get you.

[@devog1842]

Just fun tip if you do get to this section where she unfairly unleashed Sun dance after prismatic bolts. From some experience, exiting your mount and going down seems to help a lot with this combo. However be careful and use wings wisely if you suspect it will still hit you.

[@Lftarded]

Fr, Rainbow > Bolts > Sundance is the most unfair thing in this fight

[@Dying2play12]

Whenever I do daytime EoL, I actually use the cute fishron. The thing is that you don't have to wait for rain, since you can just damage tourself to about 10-20% of your health(depending on difficulty) and have the speed boost and not worry about having no health, since you're dead in one shot anyway.

If you dont have infinite flight and need to fight in an arena with platforms, my biggest tip would be to make a large hole down the center. Getting stuck on platforms is a big issue in this fight and being able to fall without interuption is extremely helpful.

[@maj429]

While tedious there is a way to make a platform that you can fall through without getting stopped, that still works as a regular platform if you don't press the down button while falling through it. Simply place platforms and then hammer each one a single time to turn it into a stair.

[@dakingofyeet4541]

I never considered using the witches brown mount. I just used the soaring insignia with fishron wings and then used damage accessories for the rest of the slots (master mode). I highly recommend the RoD for the fight (even if it is hard to get), since you can use it with less caution now that health doesn't matter all that much in the fight.

[@TheZubaz]

Still works great, took me about five tries. Thanks!

[@Dremmster]

Huge thanks for the awesome video that helped me tremendously in managing that fight post-Golem in my first full playthrough of the game. Playing as summoner I wanted to get that Terraprisma before taking on the Moon Lord, as I generally don't like getting the best weapon for my class only AFTER I complete the game... Note for Classic mode players: no access to the Witch's Broom means I needed different mobility means without losing too much on damage. So I used the UFO mount (obtained while farming for Xeno staff). It's too slow as is for this fight, or at least for my F-tier skills, so I improved its acceleration a bit by wearing my Terraspark boots (any other +movement speed gear would have worked as I only used them for the movement speed). The rest of the accessories was Necromantic Scroll, Papyrus Scarab, Celestial Shell, and Pygmy Necklace, all Menacing, like in the video. You lose a bit of damage having to wear a movement speed accessory, but since it's Classic, that loss is compensated by the lower HP pool of the boss. I killed that EoL in roughly the same amount of time, and I barely used the Sun Dance moment to land some heavy whip hits. Still took me about 50 attempts because I suck, but made the win even more satisfying! Thanks again for the guidance!

[@arthurtancredi]

Man I love you. Couldn't believe it worked for me, never imagined I could kill it in daytime. It took me two days to get it, mostly trying at night, but once I decided to just go for it during the day and in the third try I got it died but killed it.

[@nightcatssketchbook]

Dude, that’s the most calm maneuvering I’ve ever seen. Nice

[@kebabdevourer8162]

I'm not a summoner yet I can say that no matter the class you play giving at least one minion is a huge help. Something small like mining the arena underground is 10 times easier when you have something keeping enemies at bay.

[@ygorschuma3059]

For Ranged users, if you're going for this Post-Golem, use Betsy's Wings and Aerial Bane. Betsy's Wings allows you to hover like the Moon Lord "wings" and are fast enough to evade most of her attacks, if you killed her at night already, using the Eventide and combine Betsy's Wings with the Soaring Insignia the fight becomes even faster.

this is the first video of yours I have seen and it earned you a subscriber

[@wigpiipgiw1582]

Kind of late here but what I found worked really well is using shrimpy truffle and razerblade typhoon, the real trick however is that if its not raining you can use the rod of discord to keep your health under half, which keeps the speed and damage boost, along with the rod being great for dodging. With this I beat her prep golem pretty easily, although it does take a couple minutes

If you play on PC, you can make whipstacking _way_ easier by rebinding first 3 slots in your quickbar to mouse buttons.

Hey, just a little tip, in place of the Xeno staff you can very easily use Deadly Spheres, while normally pretty stupid, in a large open area such as daytime empress fight they have a really easy time tracking her and will even follow her offscreen for quite a distance giving a really good dps if you want to run for any reason, also personally I think they’re much better than Xeno or Raven staff in general, they help me beat her quite easily especially with Fishron mount

I hope they buff all the equipment you get between defeating plantera and before the pillars. For the sake of progression, all the pillar weapons should be just barely strong enough to take out the moon lord, but generally weaker than everything else you can get post-Plantera. That way players are rewarded for actually going through these bosses/events. Kind of like in calamity how certain bosses drop weapons that are technically an upgrade, but usually weaker than whatever you can craft at that point in the game

[@Cjohan]

This video is absolute gold!

[@Twoxxii]

By the way, the Deadly Sphere Staff dropped from Deadly Spheres in the solar eclipse post plantera can also work if you *really* want to get the terraprisma pre-golem.

[@treymtz]

I have a similar but slightly different set up. It involves using the Red Riding Dress but with a Chlorophyte Helmet + Vortex Beater + chlorophyte bullets. Then combining it with 2 minion increasing accessories, the sniper scope and Destroyer emblem. This Armor swap alone give +50% summon damage, 2 instances of 20% ammo conservation (a total of 36% ammo saving in just armor), +10% ranged crit, and +41% ranged damage. With all your buffs you can have around 5 - 6 minions (depending on if you include the pygmy necklace) at around +75% summon damage + whatever general damage boost you have. This combo is most certainly worth over other ranger armors set bonuses considering how much damage your minions will do. The benefit here is no need for whips and you can attack from a much safer range. The Ammo conservation with this armor + potion buff + Ammo Crate + the Vortex Beater (pre moonlord) will be around an 86% chance to save ammo which is amazing for not wanting to farm chlorophyte. You might not be interested in this part for Daytime EoL, however, its worth noting this armor setup grants a whopping 53 DEFENSE. Which is noticably higher than Tiki or Spooky armor, and even higher than Shroomite armor by 2 points. Its the highest amount of armor compared to pure ranger or summoner armor at this given stage. Though there is a tanky summoner build with another mixed setup. Spooky Helmet + Valhala Knight Breast Plate + Tiki Pants gives only +2 minion slots with +51% Summon Damage BUT at 45 Defense with +4 HP/Second regen. You combine this with Berserker's Gloves for that juicy +8 defense and whip improvements for a solid amount of Defense at the cost of overall DPS. The regen alone is such a massive jump though that you can consider this tanky alternative if you are dying too fast on Moonlord.

[@Lftarded]

You don't need defense if empress kills you in one hit anyway... You just need maximum damage

[@tear959]

I recommend Spooky Armor because it gives you a lot more damage, making it so you kill her faster + Fitecracker + Tiger combo is the nbest option for the pre golem

[@saul5188]

what about for accessories? i’m ind classic mode btw

[@walnut5617]

tiki is just more consistent and enables safe whip stacking, which makes up for the lost damage (28%) that you lose from not going spooky armor

[@dangernoodle0378]

Great vid! One tip for anyone else doing this, if you're willing to fight Duke Fishron first, you can use the cute fishron mount instead of the broom. Then just pre-damage yourself before the fight (since it one-shots anyway) to get the speed and power buffs from the mount. Makes the battle that much easier

[@din6675]

The way I did it on a pure summoner in master mode is use the dragon staff, betsy wings + insignia with pre-moonlord armor (spooky). You can kite half of her kit just by flying max speed horizontally and the dragon will burst her down every time she is on screen. The only mechanics you have to deal with are her spears and dashes, which are easy to avoid with the speed from wings. The way this guy does it you basically have to deal with her entire kit, and I'm not sure the weapon he is using is a good idea either.

Thanks for this video, i am gonna destroy empress with a melee build so i csn flex on my summoner friend and tell him "HA, I GOT TERRAPRISMA BEFORE YOU"

i have never played as a summoner in a playthrough but i always go for the terraprisma for the extreme reliability against common enemies while building/excavating, and this applies to most minions, not just the terraprisma.

Thank you for this guide! I managed to do this after only 12 tries, (even with C- skills)

Honestly, when you're content has more people watching it that are unsubscribe than people that are subscribed, it means you're content is getting recommended more. If you look at a channel like Jameski, he has had a problem with not getting his content recommended which leads to a higher rate that people are subscribed to him

Got it in about 20-25 attempts with this build, the prismatic bolt into sun dance combo when EoL is at around 15k health left is what got me the most but got lucky with dodging it on the winning attempt. I’ve never really play summoner (usually play mage or ranger) but using it for this fight was fun, might have to try a full summoner run at some point.

I can't thank you enough for this guide

Let’s be honest as long as you have zenith that is the greatest strategy in terraria
