They made the blade of grass so good and nobody talks about it I swear. I honestly prefer it over volcano for the simple fact of being able to swing in the direction your cursor is which I think should be added to all swords.
True, blade of grass is very good now, but once you reach queen bee and skeleton you have to start using the volcano as the dps from blade of grass (in master mode at least) really tanks around that point of the game
@@notyou3442 They only do 5-10 damage everywhere. The damage isn't anything to write home about, but it's homing and goes through blocks, and doesn't hinder the base sword's damage.
@@BoulderGod I have to disagree on master mode skeleton has 10k+ hp and each projectile from the blade of grass hits for like 5 damage, it's possible, I don't doubt it, but you're way better off using the volcano for 50+ damage a hit, neither weapon would shred skeleton, but I think volcano is more reliable
Doing a run of this in Master mode, before this update I'd never been able to say that I tanked my way through most pre-hard mode bosses just with swords lmao. Night Edge feels opressive af now, feels totally worth it to sacrifece the required swords. Update, WoF got destroyed by Night's Edge.
Wish they would implement some of these effects in the hardmode ore swords. Colbalt sword can be like muramasa on crack, mythril could have the lights bane effect, Orichalcum armor set bonus has the flower petal effect going on, so why not implement that onto the sword like how the blade of grass works? Not sure about Palladium, but Adamantite and Titanium should be the fearsome boss slayers, either could be Night's Edge 2.0 before you can upgrade it to its true form.
@@yungmuney5903 what if mythril has the tentacle spike effect? similar to blood butcherer or leave that to the titanium swords to simulate a similar feel to the titanium shards...
Those swords aren’t as “iconic” as the revamped swords. Which basically “terra blade” materials, and the fact that you will need to use the material of “terrablade” to carry you through the game until you get to craft your terrablade
I just finished my True Melee Master mode run, and I gotta say, it wasn’t very hard, aside from Empress (took 20 tries) where I had to use True Excalibur, Psycho Knife and Keybrand only. The idea is to use the Beetle Tank armor and Dodge accessories and fly directly into Empress’ huge sun ray attack while using Psycho Knife to do like 2000 dps

I defeated the mechs using the night's edge after the update dropped . I actually used palladium armor so i can tank stuff. Felt refreshing when using an armor i never considered using
night's edge was a good option at the time, but over the updates other, better options were introduced. what 1.4.4 did was bring it up to par with the other options at your disposal.
I'm just glad the keybrand is used in this run it's so underrated imo although it lacks effects, a little annoyed it wasn't used as a recipe in zenith, nor it got reworked in 1.4.4, but it's still fine
13:30 If what I am looking at is correct, it may be because you were not as close as you were before and you did not have the potions you had before either. It is kind of wacky to me that the nights edge can carry this far now though, it used to get outclassed quickly but now it looks op
Ok, I’m trying the Knight’s Edge against WoF. Expert and Master WoF is such a pain I usually end up using the star cannon since my worlds never want to generate a chest with a hell wing bow(but they love giving me 37 treasure magnets). But that was way fast for a WoF fight
Melee guys eating good with this update, the weapons finally feel fun to use compared to similar tools other classes get. All it took was clear modded inspiration.
The fledgeling wings are now so stupidly rare that the only real way of obtaining them which doesn’t require an absurd amount of world grinding (IE, generating new worlds over and over again) is fishing for sky crates.
Hehe this is why i saved my pre 1.4.4 worlds most of them have 3 fledgling wings in each world it was dumb making wings that work worse than a cloud in a bottle so rare but this is redigit we gott take the good with the bad m8
I had an idea for a strange(and possibly impossible) challenge run in which you can't use any weapons, traps, or npcs. You have to rely on damage-dealing accessories or armor. Honestly I doubt your ability to kill Moonlord with it, but I think it would be interesting to see how far you could push it. Could you defeat the wall of flesh?
@@pustota7254 While I'm sure there are better sources, cactus armor is capable of hurting enemies, and queen bee is a timeless fight incapable of healing so you could whittle down her health and get the honeycomb, which releases bees upon damage. With this, you could likely kill Skeletron and get the bone glove.
@@pustota7254 Ah, my bad. I thought it was just when you damaged enemies. In that case the Shield of Cthulu would likely be the next accessory you would use, and then the Bone Helm.

Yo Phantasm, you should have tried the Beam Sword for the Twins to maintain a consistent damage output against the moving bosses. That's what I used to beat the Twins and Skeletron Prime (Destroyer was melted by the Excalibur) surprisingly good sword. Great video!
Currently doing a true melee master mode playthrough on the don't dig up seed... I was astonished how the night's edge completely destroyed the WoF, even on master mode
sucks that u didn't use blood butcher in my current run it was so good early on that spike inflict damage is damn good all the rework sword are great and very powerfull i like the changes what they did. :)
I could be wrong but im pretty sure throwing hardmode ores into the shimmer changes them to the other variant, you wanted orichalcum but got mythril, but i think you could still get it
I just tested it, it does, pre hardmode ores do some weird things like copper turns to stone, gold turned to tungsten, but the hardmode ores always just swapped for me :)

@@avalontealo3532 I wouldnt have thought so given that a lot of attacks at melee range are not dodgeable. Certainly the twins for example you could not dodge the flamethrower or the dashes while still dealing damage. And since getting hit once or twice in that fight means its over, not possible.

Too bad they can't swing towards the cursor with a lot of swords which really hinders them.
Not jut good
They are feasting like kings
I did a swords only run back in 1.3. It appears things have gotten significantly easier.
Calamity: makes blade of grass massive
1.4.4: gives it a leaf that does poison
Phantasm, you can downgrade adamantite or titanium to orichalcum using shimmer, no fishing necessary :)

imagine you're an average hair stylist and you go out for fresh air just to see the mayor fighting a lunar god
Love the song you use for the mechs
Been waiting for your playthrough
what surprised me the most is the use of no flasks against queen slime
You should do a run where you can only use collab weapons. This means dungeon defenders and dont starve items and some yoyos. I think it could be fun

Can we talk about how op the terrablade is now
Omg the nights edge shreds the wof faster than the Terra blade in 1.4.3
How does this man only have 75k+ subs? I expected it to be 1m+
I wish there was a revamp with the phase sabers, they are too weak for a hard mode weapon compared to the other choices
I remember in pedguins minigame server one of the survivals was no armor melee only and me and one other guy were able to end it with zenith :)
Ngl seeing that dps makes me really want to do a sword playthrough
The nights edge does not have better dps than the Excalibur, but it does have more range

I still wait for melee playthrough where people don't use star fury and maybe, just maybe remember about beam sword
The blade of grass is one of my favourites. I just started a melee only playthrough and it's carrying pre boss
Thanks for the awesome content
Wish you would use different music now and then.
Great vid as always
Right now since its Halloween they changed the hearts to apple candy and dress some of the enemys And you also get goodie bags.
I hope before they make terraria 2 that the give every boss custom boss music instead of just the select few, one of my only gripes with this game
