I always thought the Nightglow was really underrated. It's consistent, it has high damage, it decimates crowds and most enemies in one or two shots, it does good damage against bosses, and it looks cool. I feel like the only reason people don't use it as much as they should is because Razorblade Typhoon is technically available at the start of hardmode, while Empress is post-Plantera and (arguably) harder than Duke, so people tend to overlook Nightglow.

[@JordanMetroidManiac]

Gonna be honest, I really struggle with Empress. Duke is significantly easier IMHO because its attack patterns are a bit simpler and it isn’t so much of a bullet hell.

[@joshuaplatt1967]

@@JordanMetroidManiac well empress is easy if you just run on concrete, you dodge everything and even have the chance to turn around when she dashes. In the second phase you occasionally have to jump in order to get no damage at day time but at night she is easy af

[@thelocalnecromancer1224]

Personally, I find Duke Fishron rather difficult and not as rewarding as Empress (after having to farm both of them for trophies on Zenith seed). Duke is a high-damage, fast creature that, for me, is difficult to deal with using my normal setup, whereas I can somewhat tank most of Empress's attacks with my usual arena and setup. The only high-damage attack she does is the dash. Although I'm not sure about daytime EoL.

[@jx5b]

Personaly i find Empress way easier than Duke Fishron.

[@sir.ifpratamaxii]

As a person who always go for Duke pre mechs, i still take the Nightglow for single target situation even though i already had the Razorblade. Its dps is just way better at single target than the Razorblade, but worse aoe performance.

[@felineharmonys]

I think there’s a very simple reason why nobody uses this weapon, and that’s that most of the time you fight empress of light right before pillars, at which point the stuff that empress drops are most of the time obsolete compared to whatever the pillars give you (or at least most players just would rather use what the pillars give you) so realistically you’re only really using this weapons to fight lunatic cultist (who many people consider one of the easier bosses in the game) and probably just one pillar. All of that combined makes it so that no one really sees the value of going out of their way to get this, and because of that few people actually use it.

[@kelismaincharacter4925]

I mean me personally I fight empress right after plantera, but even still, the weapon is gained way too late into the game and there are better options.

[@felineharmonys]

@@kelismaincharacter4925 tbh I didn’t even know you could fight empress right after plantera, I thought it was a post golem boss

[@Photops]

I feel abnormal since the cultists is the hardest boss for me. I have posy pillar weapons too💀

[@Hazel-xl8in]

this sums it up. she’s not really easier than cultist, and the reward for beating cultist (pillar gear) is just so good that i don’t really know when you’re supposed to fight her. only the terraprisma really outcompetes it’s equivalent pillar weapons but if you’re going for that then difficulty likely isn’t an issue i suppose.

I'm disappointed - it's factually incorrect and very misleading. Using a VPN does not protect you from hackers on 99% of sites as they are already protected by SSL/TLS thanks to HTTPS.

It would be great if you did a video on the Flying Dragon. Ever since it got buffed a while back it's become an absolute monster.

Well, if you ignore the Terra Blade. Sure, it doesn't go through walls, but it also doesn't require going through OOA, which many people don't like

[@nolanyeager2754]

@@ianluk8855 I've tested the Terra Blade vs the Flying Dragon. The Flying Dragon beats the Terra Blade in terms of raw dps in groups and solo target situations by a healthy margin. The terra blade is easier to use though with a much larger, faster projectile. Ever since it got buffed its been an absolute menace. I really recommend you give it another shot.

[@ianluk8855]

@@nolanyeager2754 I think I did test it, and only found it to be marginally better in practice. Flying Dragon's projectile fire rate doesn't stack with melee speed, so it's much less consistent than Terra Blade unless your aim is pretty good. This, combined with the fact that it's only marginally better than Terra Blade and arguably harder to obtain, means it's usually not worth going for imo. Other Betsy drops are more worth it, mainly Aerial Bane and Betsy's Wrath

[@nolanyeager2754]

@@ianluk8855 I can completely agree with those criticisms. I see the Flying Dragon as a side-grade to the terra blade. The Terra Blade is overall the more versatile weapon, but the Flying Dragon is still really good. My point is just that this weapon is slept on because it's tied to OOA, but it's still one of the best pre-moonlord melee weapons.

[@ianluk8855]

A weapon like the Nightglow is seriously under hyped. It can no be overstated how important it is to note that so long as the enemy is on the screen you do not waste a single shot, a single point of damage, or a single point of mana. It will rip crowds apart in moments and when doing single target it still does insane damage.

[@LayBBqChips]

You should make a video about the most underrated weapon aka the zenith

[@help_1742]

The reason no one uses the really cool post plantera weapons is because unless you are playing ftwmm both golem and lunatic cultist are pushovers and that you can beat with pre plantera or easily obtainable post plantera weapons. After you beat lunatic cultist you get the ability to get some pretty op weapons that invalidate almost everything post plantera to pre pillars

finally SOMEONE achknowledged the night glow's true potential!

[@ferdithetank7535]

It's definitely a good weapon, but it suffers from post-Plantera progression curve, meaning you either skip Empress entirely or fight her after Moon Lord, which defeats the purpose of it's existence. Out of all homing projectile mage weapons I'd put it somewhere behind the Stellar Tune or Nebula Blaze, as Tune can shoot through blocks a lot faster and is better for single target, while Blaze has crazy high crit chance and damage multiplier.

[@zuko_7272]

Even your refrigerator

[@meanbeansuicidal9970]

To be honest, I did used this to beat the Cultist, since it has a homing projectile that chase enemies and I think this is the fastest to react, and also yess, this is very good for events as well! overall it is a good weapon up until to end-game although its DPS isn't suitable for Moonlord no longer....

So, Empress weapons are good, but, she's harder than Duke. Duke is available from the beginning of hardmode, but I'd generously push him as post-plantera with up to post-golem strength drops. Empress is post-golem or post-pillars strength as a boss with pre-cultist strength weapons imo.

[@raptyrn1290]

at one point in my ranger playthrough, i was grinding through getting dungeon equipment, and when i considered going through the frost moon for the chain gun i felt a pit open in the bottom of my stomach. i simply did not want to go through a difficult event with annoying enemies and low drop rates any more than i had done already, so i said “screw it” and started the lunar events. a couple cultist tries later (i’m not very good lol) i was able to get the vortex beater and now i had such a powerful gun and summon from the stardust made that everything else was irrelevant. rushing pillar gear just gets you such l powerful rewards that i usually don’t want to go through the slog of martian madness/old one’s army/empress of light etc in that weird post-golem stage. maybe if empress was required pre-cultist? or something along these lines? it just feels like she’s such a hard boss fight and we were able to take on the cultist and moon lord just fine before she showed up, regardless of how good it might be. i love her drops but by the time you get them you’re about to get the penultimate weapons anyways so it doesn’t feel worth the effort.
