Based on my melee experience, while biome blade line is cool, it’s isn’t really effective compared to other weapons available at that stage, on the other hand, ark line is really damn good and ark of the elements (the post ml one) did a very solid job up until i killed polterghast with it
Yeah, honestly. That slight misplacement is brutal and makes the entire line fall off. ESPECIALLY Galaxia. Excelsus is literally better for Yharon because of it's better range making it only useful to make the Ark of the Cosmos. ...except for True Biome Blade. It just completely breaks DoG. Swordsmith's Pride as primary attunement and Sanguine Fury as passive gives so much lifesteal.
biome blade is ok for destroyer, but even then other classes have stuff like wave pounder that completely outclass it. I did find biome blade good for events like the sulfuric sea, the vine whip is really good for crowd control
Ark line is kinda situational because other than end version its projectiles dont have particulary high dps, and to reach really good damage you have to hit with the blade, but then you have true melee weapons for that. It just doesnt scale from melee speed, which is why dps is not superior. Weapon pays with dps for its versatility
I use a mod for better sword animations. As it turns out the biome blade paired with the mod duplicates the attacks of the true biome blade exponentially, turning a spinning swordsmiths pride into a eye burning wheel of light that kills anything that touches it and simultaneously releases hundreds of swords a second so yeah, that was a pretty easy part of the playthrough.
So true. I'm currently playing Calamity Death mode with my friends and i rarely used the Biome Blade (every forms). Its not effective at all cuz as a Melee player, the Bosses will constantly chasing and shooting projectiles (a lot) at you. Its hard to get close to deal true melee damage cuz every bosses' contact damage took more than half the health bar. And the damage is not entirely good.
Did a run where I only used weapons of the entire Ark of the Cosmos family tree on Death a few months ago. Difficult but fun; would definitely recommend because of the variety in the different biome sword modes and how the visuals of the blades are like eye candy
Fun fact about all of the astral infection infusions, they give full immunity to contact damage when you charge through anything with such a hurt box. I wasn't sure if it still worked on current patch, but i just tested it on Yharon, and all 3 gave me full i-frames. They are one of the best infusions for Yharon, highly recommend it.
The ark being scissors was strange to me too but then it hit me, you put the two swords together. Two blades does make a scissors, plus the sounds of the snips is just so satisfying.
Definitely cool, just kinda wish biome blade line didn’t get pretty much totally consumed by ark moveset aside from the 5th attack, because I generally find myself liking its line despite not being as useful as ark
Can confirm that the biome and ark swords lines are perfect for a melee playthrough Literally made me go a "I don't want to play with you anymore" on the night's edge, excalibur, their true versions and terra blade
Grass, a low, green plant that grows naturally over a lot of the earth's surface, having groups of very thin leaves that grow close together in large numbers.
The Galaxia's Andromeda form is really usefull in Yharon fight It can be used as abillity which allows custom direction dashing that does about 40k damage. In addition, while user is dashing it the user can be immune to charge attacks. However, what makes me recommend this is fun from dashing through enemies and escaping from incoming projectiles swarm.
@@Jay2480 Sand dollar is a rogue weapon bought from sea king npc. It has a pretty straightforward mechanic, it shoots out like a boomerang. What makes it good is that it has a very high damage value when using stealth attacks, as it shoots two of the weapon at once, dealing nuke damage at a decently far distance.
Best biomes for all types: Broken: Arid Grandeur (desert/underworld) Biome: Gesture of the Drowned (sunken/abyss) True: Lamentations of the Chained (jungle/snow/ocean) Galaxia: idk man its already op do ur thing
It's funny how the True Biome Blade ends up being a hard counter to the Devourer of Gods, essentially using the worm's blood as fuel whenever you get up close and personal with it, or vice versa. You can still use a shield bash to parry the head if you're in a pinch.
I found out that the vine whip of the broken biome blade shoots Luxor’s gift projectiles on every hit, it’s a great melee option for bosses u can’t bearhug
i was playing death mode calamity and using a mod that adds cool sword animations, and it made the biome blade just 738833762% better than any other sword
Yknow, even though I've practically spoiled myself on what the next forms of the biome blade are, I'm excited to get to these new forms now, seeing as the biome blade has been my main weapon throughout baisically my entire calamity playthrough
Apparently, I do not know the new biome blade as well as I thought I did, but anyway, for the astral/abyss passive, it actually does not follow your player when you move, and stays still in the place that you were before, meaning enemies that chase after you will get hit by your shockwave even from afar, as long as you run in a straight line.
Wow, GitGudWO, you always make the most informative videos. I love learning about new weapons in Terraria! And thanks to Fantaclaus, I can now easily reply to comments and engage with my own viewers too.
Used ark of cosmos to beat calamitas, very fun sword to use Also i found out that if you end your combo sligfhtly earlier when the blade starts spinning at your cursor, it will *snip* and you`ll gain empowerment for 1 or 2 strikes
hi, there is a use for mercurial tides attunement, if you use sanguine fury passive with it you brcome almost immortal against worms like devourer of gods, unless you tank hits from the head
Some of the details on the blade you have mentioned are incorrect. I have used those blade for 2 entire playthroughs and you left out some things and just a couple of details were incorrect. Still it is good that you made this video.
When the 2 weapon pathes I thought biome blade and its variants would be the coolest and most fun, but damn, ark playstile is a lot more engaging. making you fish for parries whenever you xan
This weapon line is still overall almost always worse than the alternatives, especially more so the later you progress... Which is such a shame because it's so cool now.
The true biome blade with the crimson passive ability is totally broken, being able to heal yourself on almos any hit you do allows you to survive with really strong enemies, thanks to this weapon i defeated the devorer of gods for the first time, and also help me with thanatos on the fight of the exo bosses, but almost always was usefull, i maked another after making the next upgrade because this wasn't able to heal you, even with calamytas was usefull, i love you true biome blade with hallow attack and crimson pasive ability, thank you for keeping me alive.
I was thinking of doing a playthrough ark/biome blade weapons only run. It could be fun I would start off normally but then once i get a biome blade it's nothing but ark/biome blades from there _it would also mean I'd have to do DoG with ark of the elements and that will be a pain, but I'm good with parries so could work out_
You can even start sooner and only use weapons that can be considered materials for the two before getting them, such as the wooden sword (which is immediately obtainable), golden/platinum sword(probably a stealth mission unless you get lucky with one of those cosmic elementals that drop the enchanted sword and/or starfury), enchanted sword, and starfury (these two alongside some solid armor will let you dominate the common prehardmode enemies and can defeat bosses up to when you can get the broken biome blade).

Biome blade is as good and perfectly balanced as normal.
its not that good.

Same. I didn't even get the blade of grass or anything on my first melee playthrough because I was oblivious to the terratomere and exoblade potential
I love the biome blade. It's so dang cool as a concept.
8:52 gwen mains liked that
Wait wasn’t it updated ages ago?
Wish to be able to use the Old Biome Blade as well, its insanely Charming for some reason
i give you immediate respect for having a hollow knight pfp
Always a treat to see you upload, nice video.
Grass, a low, green plant that grows naturally over a lot of the earth's surface, having groups of very thin leaves that grow close together in large numbers.

There’s a pre Eye of Cthulhu weapon called Sand Dollar and it’s really good and decent until Moon Lord

arid grandeur is honestly really fun to just hop around with
9/10 gitguds approve this blade as “perfectly balanced”
Best biomes for all types:
Broken: Arid Grandeur (desert/underworld)
Biome: Gesture of the Drowned (sunken/abyss)
True: Lamentations of the Chained (jungle/snow/ocean)
Galaxia: idk man its already op do ur thing
5:57 you can actually aim the sword beams while it also shoots out sword beams in random directions
I did not ever expect for you to look that good bro

Imo this showcases the abilities well, i can use this vid on my future calamity melee runs
Real ones has been waiting for this video to come out ever since gitgud said he'd do it
The astral infection form is pretty rad ngl, but that just may be the impeccable sound design.
I found out that the vine whip of the broken biome blade shoots Luxor’s gift projectiles on every hit, it’s a great melee option for bosses u can’t bearhug
hating on the best prefix is crazy, shit is always practical
i was playing death mode calamity and using a mod that adds cool sword animations, and it made the biome blade just 738833762% better than any other sword
The Astral Attunement It's useful for large flat areas with lots of enemies.
1:12 I thought "Oh cool, a terraria background" when im watching a terraria tuber 💀
Fun fact: when ark of cosmos spins like yoyo you can release click and it will launch another sword to turn it into scissor attack
Yknow, even though I've practically spoiled myself on what the next forms of the biome blade are, I'm excited to get to these new forms now, seeing as the biome blade has been my main weapon throughout baisically my entire calamity playthrough
finally, you can parry, block and dodge in terraria calamity!!!

lmao what a coincidence i was binging your content and i watched your first biome blade video then i saw this video right after i finished
U just started the game and got the biome blade i love it

I was so confused when I noticed my Blade's projectile was curving, I had no idea it got a rework.
Me when the wind was slow and the fire was hot
Holy shit that is the best username I have ever seen Xxautistic_kidxX
You change it once and it becomes perfect.
You Change it twice and it become perfectly balanced.
9:50 edgy emo witch Supreme Calamitas 💀
There should be a Biome Blade only playthrough!
3:02 You also get this at the ocean biome (I think)
6:00 what is the mod where you have a stationary boss acting like a target dummy?
Luiafk mod's target dummy
Biome blade is so bugged in any melee effect mod as it just deals 50-100x the intended damage
Just realised I didnt skip the sponser section for once
Did you forget Atraxia
Second favourite melee behind the ark line
Used ark of cosmos to beat calamitas, very fun sword to use
Also i found out that if you end your combo sligfhtly earlier when the blade starts spinning at your cursor, it will *snip* and you`ll gain empowerment for 1 or 2 strikes
Ark of the Cosmos and it's ingredients were super good
What visual mods are you using? It looks fantasic!
5:08 Lmao why was there the oh the misery cat in the corner
I can't figure out what do you mean by pressing "Up" when you were talking about the Ark of the Cosmos.
good ad, gemshin team is pretty good personally i use a nahida hyperbloom team with a hu tao sub dps lol
I will miss the old greatsword Ark of the Cosmos...
You were such a great concept for vanilla upgrade (If you know what i'm referring to).
Goddamnit they've done it again, biome blade is yet again reworked.
true biome blade with purity/hallow as primary and evil/desert/hell as secondary is my favourite weapon against ceaseless void
you just don't die
Perhaps I underestimated you, Biome blade
I've never done a melee calamity playthrough so I don't wanna spoil myself so I won't watch this but I still left a like
Good evening, Git!
hi, there is a use for mercurial tides attunement, if you use sanguine fury passive with it you brcome almost immortal against worms like devourer of gods, unless you tank hits from the head
my sad tiny computer couldnt even handle the true biome blade, it cant even handle a mechanical boss prescence, and this is without reveangeance mode
What's the graphics mod you use? It feels like your game looks nicer than mine

Still it is good that you made this video.
one day GitGutWO will say ''copper shortsword is perfectly balanced'' lol (it has great single target dps and has infinite pierce)
im not trying to say ''i hate GitGudWO'' i just felt like making this comment because of him making a lot of ''[weapon] is perfectly balanced'' videos
ark of the cosmos is actually just the coolest weapon in the entire game
wait theres a sunken sea version???
When the 2 weapon pathes I thought biome blade and its variants would be the coolest and most fun, but damn, ark playstile is a lot more engaging. making you fish for parries whenever you xan
Multi-dimensional cooling💀
Yooooo, can you believe CalamityMod just got ported to 1.4. Crazy right?
what?
Biting Embrace and Lamentations of the Chained is op, change my mind
Someone should do a play through with these swords ONLY. People did it in vanilla terraria with Zenith.
all versions of biome blade can obliterate and cheese letarally every boss in calamity
trust me
