  • Today we explore just how tanky you can get in Terraria. We look at how to maximize defense and damage reduction in order to take as little damage as possible from enemies. If you're wondering how to get some of these items then check out the Terraria wiki below. Also, if you would like to see more videos like these then be sure to let me know in the comments, thanks for watching!

    The fact that he managed to tank two hits from the dungeon guardian in expert mode blew my mind.

      i would say it's a fever dream or heretic stuff or even a thing can't be done by a terraria developer but now i have seen it and am really surprised
      he could write it in the title and get a lot of views but he dealt with it like it's not that big deal

Needless to say, I played on an Expert world and could not find a pair of Hermes'/Dunerider/Flurry/Sailfish boots at all. Now that world has about two arenas made from rails - one for Brain of Cthulhu, one for Eye of Cthulhu/King Slime. I now understand why someone would consider using Minecarts, but yeah, definitely more for damage output than defense. Still a great thing to know as a melee user.

My role was to just tank as much damage as possible and keep agro so moonlord would sit still so my friends could do all the damage. we never optimized the strat though. We did try it again in expert mode but it didnt work. I would like to see you elaborate onto it and use every regen buff/ damage reduction/ defense buff available and see if the strat would still be possible in expert mode.

      @@ejhawkins086 I'm not familiar with your brand of English but how this works is that first your partner's defense applies to the incoming damage, you siphon away 25% of the resulting lowered damage, then YOUR defense applies to this damage, lowering it to tiny amounts. But the damage still triggers your invincibility period, giving you invulnerability for either 0.66 seconds during which you can't take damage again. With the cross necklace, you increase your invulnerable period to 1.33 seconds. If you have high regen, such as with Valhalla breastplaten you might even regen back the health you've lost, especially with a no damage period of over a second. On fire debuff takes away regen, so slap an Ankh shield on that character. Then add Master Ninja Gear (-10% of damage on average + when with wings and over non flat terrain, faster average horizontal movement than any mount except maybe wet Cute Fishron), Wings, Celestial Stone, Worm Scarf for max survival. Drop Worm Scarf if in non-Expert.

    In master mode you have 2 extra accessory slots contrast from the 5 slots you get from classic, one from playing on master mode and the other from defeating wall of flesh. These 2 accessories could include The shield of cthulu and a worm scarf (I don't know if this is the most effective set up) giving you an extra 2 defense and the 17% damage reduction from the worm scarf, additionally, the warding re-forge gives 8 more defense, making it an overall 11 defense. Another 5 defense can be added via the bast statue which is something you can get from fishing in a desert I believe.

      But enemies do 200% dmg in expert mode!
      Eg - If an enemy does 40 dmg while you have 10 defense, you lose 35 HP in normal mode
      But, in expert mode, the same enemy does 80 dmg, you still have 10 defense, you lose 72.5 HP.
      So in short, expert mode does more than twice the dmg easily. The worm scarf becomes pretty much necessary and will take up the 6th accessory slot pretty much till end game.

The hero shield increases defense by 10, making it better than the flesh knuckles. Also, the frozen shield frees another slot. For the extra slot Equip yet another flesh knuckles rather than the paladins shield because it has two more defense.

    also factoring an endurance potion and with the 7 slots of master mode ASSUMING that the damage test is on normal mode damage but there are 7 slots you'll get at least 8 defence from warding and then you can get a worm scarf to reduce damage by 17% and something like the hero's shield which gives 8 defence (I think) so we have the beetle armour build with three beetles and im not going to do the math but considering expert mode was 48 im guessing normal would be 24 (2x damage is dealt in expert mode)

    Keep in mind the amount of beetles changes the damage reduction from 45% to 15% however solar is a constant 30% no matter how many spikes are on the shield, since they take the same time to recharge, if you are hit so often that you cannot build up to 2 beetles, solar is better.

    You should remember that theres also a potion for defense, and a certian statue that u can find in underground desert which boosts ur defense by 5 if ur near it, i have it and its quite nice

    you can craft the paladins sheild with flesh knuckles for more defence and you can still use the flesh knuckles and the palidins sheild by itself

    "The power of the dryad protects you." (Is it that the thing that it says? I can't remember)
    What I'm 100% sure it was suppose to say.
    "The power of Christ compels you"

      Moonfeather Glitterdew The dryad also applies a negative effect onto enemies, which has the description ‘The power of nature compels you!’ and I’m almost certain that this is the reference you are looking for

    Instead of ankh shield im pretty sure you can use berserker glove (Not sure if it works with flesh knuckles), as well as replacing moon stone with ice shield (Also not sure if it works but defense should still be provided)
