Max Damage Loadouts in Terraria
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2020
- In today's video, we take a look at the max damage loadout for each class and then compare them to see which is the best. I'm aware of ways to reach insanely high damage through utilizing elaborate setups to the point where you can kill bosses in 1 tick, but this video won't cover those. Instead, we will be taking a look at every single way to boost damage for each class and to see how much damage we can achieve. I should also mention that we will be looking at general dps rather than specific interactions. For example, the Stake Launcher when used against vampires offers a huge damage boost, but it's only against the one enemy. Interactions like that will not be covered in this video. If you would like to see more videos like these then be sure to let me know in the comments, thanks for watching!

I like how the Mage in Endgame isn’t even referred to as “Mage”, it has basically turned to “The Last Prism set”
Mage earlygame: Spam waterbolt.
Mage midgame: A varied toolkit of a wide set of spells, each with their own niche utility. In fact too many to have all in the hotbar at the same time.
Mage lategame: Haha, prism go BZZZZZZZT.
I'm pretty sure there's stronger than last prism for single target with mage though. prism inflicts piercing granting the enemy i-frames. it's good for a lot but not all situations (i.e. fishron)
I don't like the Prism because it's mana inefficiency against single targets; the Nebula Blaze and Celestial Flare are really good for that though.

Another thing about the summon build: unless you're doing a class restriction challenge, nothing is stopping you from just blasting shit on your own with guns and putting on some gunner gear or security/agility items. That's the magical part of summoner, the minions kick a lot of ass but so can you.

Just box yourself
Fun fact, increased damage generally increases dps more than increased crit because of how defense works. Increased crit will always increase your damage output by the percentage of crit boast, but damage buffs can actually increase your dps more than the listed percent. Let's say you were playing in normal mode with all menacing accessories, using a weapon that has 100 base damage against an enemy with 40 defense, with no other boasts. 100 times 1.2 is 120, minus half the defense is 100. This means that the weapon is effectively dealing 100 average damage before crit with menacing as opposed to 80 damage without menacing. Instead of boasting your damage output by 20%, menacing has boasted your damage output by 25%.
Is that not 20% as 80 is 20% less than 100% Might be stupid tho
Nvm im stupid
I think your maths is wrong. menacing I agree with is 100 average. lucky 20% crit means that 80% of the time it does 100 - 20 = 80 damage, and 20% of the time it does 100*2 - 20 = 180 damage. 0.8*80 + 0.2*180 = 100. they are the same regardless of defense, on average.
@@explodingpineapple6459 it's not (100*2)-20, its (100-20)*2. Original comment is correct.
I get a 100% crit chance in stealth mode with ranger. So although I lose damage for not using menacing my 100% crit chance overcompensates for the reduced damage. Regardless of the math I'm sticking with lucky for all my accessories.
I like how the Destoryer Emblem is being used on a summoner where crits don’t matter and you could have the Papyrus Scarab for yet another minion and even more damage.
i like how the destroyer emblem is used against the destroyer
@@v2sauce I used the destroyer to destroy the destroyer
I like how he did use the papyrus scroll
@@noahtyssen-ob8vsPapyrus Scarab and Scroll are different things lol
I like how he prioritized dmg buffs over having 11 minions which is much better than some 10% damage boosts.
Gungnir: But uh- Minions cant crit.
1.4: My goals are beyond your understanding.
So Mage is best at Multi-Target DPS while Ranger is best Single-Target DPS.

@@genericname4206 maybe now it deals 20 damage
I think you could have increased the summoning damage by equipping accessories like the papyrus scarab after removing the avenger emblem, destroyer emblem, and celestial shell to increase the maximum number of minions/ segments of the stardust dragon
Yeah, I think you're right, I haven't tested it yet but it probably would increase the damage by a decent amount.
Now the real question is would the different segments have different damage due to the equipping/unequipping of the damage increases.
Or would it change all of them.
So Summon beats Melee? Damn.
If you do this and use nebula buffs for summoner, the dragon can deal 1200 damage.
MajikTowst Yes. Indeed, each segment of the dragon counts as separate summon, so it is possible to have a very big dragon, while each segment having different damage. In fact, it is better to equip accessories with the highest damage possible, summon the amount that Stardust set + potion + bewitching table allows, them switch to summoning items one at the time and summon the rest. That will be the highest damage possible on summoner.
Here's the thing about summoner.. everyone knows it doesn't quite make the level that magic or melee makes now in 1.4 but what I feel like people gotta realize is if you pair a summon like terraprisma or stardust dragon (stardust armor of course and summoner accessories) with using a zenith on the dummies too, the dpm will be absolutely insane

I just wanna mention that with the yo-yo testing unless I missed it it didn’t look like you had the yoyo bag on and it actually plays a lot into yo-yo dmg especially with terrarian as the 2nd yo-yo from the bag also has its own homing projectiles and quite literally doubles the dps of any yo-yo and is far greater than say a celestial stone especially after the update to make the stone and shell not stack anymore :) but it’s nice to see someone give yo-yo so love it’s honestly underrated and the easiest to boost dps as that 1 accessory doubles it and the rest can be put into more mobility/Tank items
>Bashes low summoner dmg
>Doesn't use specialised summoner accessories and doesn't use a single sentry
Excuse me?
And even then, summoner still did the same damage on a single dummy as melee did. AND he didn't even use any weapon on the character
Right? I like to go for max minion count first!
You can't exactly call yourself an endgame summoner without the papyrus scarab. smh
Also mage was unfair bc not only was the crab setup unpractical, he was using a raven staff, which is not fair at all even though it wasn’t on the dummies
Whips ;-;
You are absolutely right, statistically speaking, about the lucky v. menacing matter. They are identical (given enough trials).
With a single menacing item, the expected value of damage is, well, 104% of the original.
With one lucky item, the expected value can be taken as the sum of all outcomes multiplied by their respective probabilities.
Thus...
(96% of the time x 100% damage) + (4% of the time x 200% damage) = (.96 x 1) + (.04 x 2) = 104%
What about the weapon's base crit damage/crit boosts from other sources? Is that taken into account?
@@tatsuyaaaaaa No because the weapon crit chance is a constant between both i think. If a weapon has a 25% chance to crit the only difference between menacing and lucky is the 4% chance.
@@andreauscolon Oh yeah. Thanks.
This is incorrect since you have a base percent chance to crit. This causes the calculations to be slightly different. Since most weapons have a chance of 4%, I will use this for my calculations. With lucky, you add 4%(.04) to the multiplier of base damage. However, with Menacing, you must multiply by 4% or 1.04 times 1.04 (Base damage because of the 4 percent base crit chance) which gives you 1.0816, compared to 1.08 with lucky. This may seem like a small difference, however, with a higher base crit, such as with many late-game weapons and with more damage multiplier, it can really make a difference.
Because of how enemy defence works, enemies with high defence will take more dps from lucky reforges. An enemy with 50 defense and 100 will have 25 damage reduction, if you have a weapon that deals 75 damage and crits will be able to one-shot, whilst a weapon with 20 percent more damage will not. This hugely increases damage and dps on high defense targets, like in the late game.
The defense and technique with the melee rework in 1.4.4 makes it amazing.
Calamity players: *laughs in casual 2 million dps*
Try redoing this with the new 1.4 update, especially since the Melee class gets the Zenith and the Summoner class also gets whips so more damage can be tacked on
plus the terraprisma
THE ZENITH. THE GREATEST BLADE!
And celestial stone doesn’t stack with shell anymore
Giving melee the zenith isn’t fair
@@rxanimation6648 so it's life
There are a few things I’d like to mention here as I feel like a lot of you will have questions about these things.
**CORRECTIONS**
Summoner:
Use Papyrus Scarab instead of Destroyer Emblem.
You can also summon the minions with max damage gear on, and then switch to gear that adds minion slots afterwards (because the summon should retain the original damage it was summoned with), Summoner should be able to get a massive boost in damage by doing this.
First of all, technically feral bite could have been applied to every class, but I didn’t want to include it because of how much of a hassle it would be to maintain the buff for the other classes.
Nebula attack boosters could have also been used for the other classes, however, it involves switching armor sets every few seconds so I decided not to include it.
Lastly, the shrimpy truffle could have been used for the melee loadout, but you lose out on 2% extra crit, 5% extra melee damage, and 5% extra melee speed in exchange for the 15% damage. I tested this with and without the mount and found that Meowmere doesn’t see much of a change in damage either way, but the Terrarian and Solar Eruption found damage boosts (+200-300).
Let me know if there are ways to better any of the loadouts, I'll do my best to update this comment to include any of the changes that I may have missed.
You can make your classes even stronger if you put prefixes on your armor (menacing+12%dmg) not alot but you can put any prefix on any armor or vanity and the only prefixes you can use are the ones accessories have. I have a class with 130 base defence and like 70% damage reduction or something crazy like that. And that's without any potions or npc buffs

Gungnir I like to use the last prism but I’m bad at mage so In my mage loadout I use mana flower instead of celestial shelll(it’s not max damage but I still think it’s good for mage loadouts)

Nice vid. Note though, that ranged single target crown probably belongs to the coin gun with platinum coins. For those claiming it's unfeasible to have enough of plat, - this is not true. All you need is a good farm. In single player, you can reach 50+ plat per hour, while in multiplayer I was able to break 100/hr. That means that leaving your farm running for a single day will easily net over 1k. I usually leave my farm running overnight and get an extra 1k by morning. That is way easier than farming luminite or chlorophyte for SDMG. I'm yet to run out of plat, having at least 20k+ any given day. Oh, and you can easily switch from offensive to regen/tank gear, so that you don't die even in Expert and never lose your coins.
Just duplicate the coins
In a legitimate way, you can use leprechaun plus uneven surface to cause it to jump and drop cash constantly
Duplication bug:allow me to introduce myself
I dont know what mega farm you use but I can clock in 9 plat per hour at most from my farm.
My dick is incredibly tiny and I'm an idiot, but is the greedy coin or the coin ring and set up a jungle above water at an ocean with platforms and a slime, prevent the slime from leaving said platform, and leave it
You can combine the scroll and beetle on the summoner class setup freeing up a slot for more damage

The buff from the “Dark Harvest” whip buffing attack speed might be able to push melee damage
The fact that Stardust Dragon looks like a Stand is behind you, and you put menacing on all your weapons, makes me really happy.
thank you for enlightening me on the menacing part
@Abdus-Sami Sheikh both, stardust guardian is star platinum and stardust dragon is heirophant green.
When the destroyer spawns, the whole worm spawns in a coil, and then unravels from that point.
The startdust dragon went straight for that coil and hit so many more segments at once.
This CAN be done with Melee, attacking the coil with solar eruption would yield similar results as summoner
Wouldn't summoner do more damage? Stardust dragon has higher base damage, let's say both classes hit all the segments at once, stardust dragon just needs to 'sit' at the coil and move back and forth to do damage, while Solar Eruption, whenever swing, will go outside the coil and have less opportunity to deal damage. IDK, correct me if I'm wrong.
@@noobishace2411 solar eruption dont have the highest dps tho...
Meowmere would be better because the nyan cats pierce the destroyer
@@dustytoyknife2343 Solar eruption would pierce all of those segments multiple times very quickly as it extends and retracts, Fetid Baghnakhs can do a similar effect but it isn't feasible to do it as reliably as most of the Destroyer would have uncoiled by the time you got into position.
Last Prism, pre-firing, could kill Destroyer instantly, as in, it spawns, and is dead a few frames later.
Star wrath is good for doing this, because you can hit the coil as long as it’s on screen so you don’t have to move into position and I’m pretty sure the stars can pierce
Something I think is a little important to mention. Always go lucky as a ranger with the S.D.M.G please... it’s the more consistent set cause you can easily get to a flat 100% critrate
would be cool to see this updated!
Zenith: *exists*
Mage class: "My time has come."
I got my zenith to go up to 200k dps with like 10 dummies and no potions
Wonder how much dps can you possibly get with buffs.
Matthew what armor?
Prime I did it on master mode with solar flare armor, and I had the celestial shell, destroyer, warrior, and avenger emblems, as well as the fire gauntlet and mechanical glove. ps, it had to be night time to get the full dps because of the celestial shell.
Why mage class? Its melee
What a lot of people leave out when testing summoner is the benefit of either focusing on movement or using another weapon to dish out additional damage. After snapshotting your summon, you can adapt your loadout to get a reasonable portion of the dmg. You can apply ichor to further boost dmg for example. The stationary minions, while kinda crappy, can also be helpful.
The stationary minions are called sentrys
I'd really love to see you redo this series (and maybe add more videos, e.g. max speed, crits, etc.) now that Journey's End has been out for quite some time.

You also have to take into account that summoning will also be using a weapon on top of the stardust dragon.
The advanced target dummy mod is amazing for accurate dps like with the vortex bow arrows on real enemies
These are super helpful, thanks
With the Stardust Dragon you also have to consider that its damage goes up with how many segments it has, so sometimes going for more summons can be better than going for more damage.
Now that 1.4’s released, this video has aged like a carton of milk left out under the sun in a desert. Zenith, with the right setup, (Solar helmet and chest, Valhalla knight greaves, fire gauntlet, mechanical glove, warrior emblem, avenger emblem, destroyer emblem, celestial shell, putrid scent [All with the menacing reforge with the exception of putrid scent which should have lucky], any tipsy buff, feral bite, wrath, rage, ichor imbue, exquisitely stuffed, and sharpened) is capable of 2 million DPS, can kill master moon lord in 13 seconds, and can kill all of the hardmode bosses simultaneously.

I believe that holy arrows will heavily outdps luminite arrows. Also, melee will do much better multitarget damage with a meowmere/starwrath than with the solar eruption, as they do significantly more damage and still pierce. The eruption is great for shooting through walls, and against invasions (if you haven't set up a meowmere specific arena), but against things like the destroyer the swords outclass it.
Holy arrows aren't vetter than luminite bullets, both single and multiple targets.

@@explodingpineapple6459 yeah piercint arrows deal with invulnerability frames and that BS. Solar eruption while it pierces it "explodes" and deals damage in the I-frames
my luminite arrows are broken then, when I shoot phantasm every arrow makes damage
@@explodingpineapple6459 lumitite ignores the i-frames rules other ammo types have
I used to be a melee main back on Xbox when Orcram (How ever you spell it) was around and whatnot and when I got Xbox one waiting for Moonlord to release I was a melee all the way through got it on steam to be able to use Zenith and got that too but recently switched to Ranged and never have been happier not only is it no longer a pain to grind bec I don't need Zenith anymore It's just more fun and suiting to play melting every boss, I never realized how bored I was of Melee and how weak I really felt but this made it more clear than I had felt it
I would say that if you want max damage, you would also use 2 sentries and 3 minions in every case. Then summoning might get a buff since the loadout might improve sentry dmg, but a nerf since the other classes also have 3 minions (although without buffs)
The reason why melee dmg is the weakest is because its the tankiest
Exactly, where it lacks in damage, it easily makes up for in survivability.
@@Gungnir_ will we get 1.4 play through
Wait till u see the zenith in 1.4 lmao my build isn’t even complete and it does 15k dps
*laughs in zenith*
You really gotta do this again for 1.4, using things like The Zenith and The Terraprisma.
If you're willing to sacrifice using your summoner weapon to target your minions you can gradually swap out your accessories for ones with more minion slots
Hey, an fyi. The stardust dragon staff deals a lot of immunity frames, and IT WILL DECREASE your DPS during boss fights on any other class but summoner. If you are just doing things like building or mining, the stardust dragon and the terra prisma are the best summons to use, but I wouldn’t recommend using the stardust dragon during boss fights, especially Moonlord because of the constant immunity frames. This only applies to non summoner builds btw
You should've used luiafk or calamity/fargos mutant mods dummies, because they are considered a entity and everything works on them
terraprisma comes out, stardust dragon, " am i a joke to you?"
Actually stardust dragon has more dps than terraprisma
Zenith comes out
Other classes: am I a joke to you
Back in 1.3 you could get +45% melee damage from a combination of armors, chlorophyte helmet, solar breastplate and hallowed leggings.
Wonder if magic with spectre armor stacking constant damage like rainbow gun, clinger staff, toxic vile, running the queen slime blade summon, etc would out damage this
Now that’s a lotta damage
Finally, somebody said it.
Funny
A quick note about Lucky vs Menacing: On average, they increase your damage by the exact same amount versus a target dummy., since dealing 4% extra damage 100% of the time and dealing 100% extra damage 4% of the time maths out to be the same. The reason Lucky is generally considered worse than Menacing is that the lucky crit damage applies AFTER armor, while Menacing applies before armor, so you end up getting a few extra damage per attack from using Menacing over Lucky.
Thank you for explaining this in a way I could actually understand.
Gungnir: So for fourth place on multi target we have melee.
Zenith sitting in a devs design process:
*clears throat*
I like how at 7:18 when he says hit box, his voice hit's its own autotune note
23:57 if you aim the terrarian in front of the enemy, more of the bubbles will hit it, which exceeds the damage done if you actually try to directly hit the enemy itself with the terrarian, because most of the bubbles don't end up hitting the target. Rely on maximizing the homing bubbles for Max damage.
Wait did you forget about engineer class?
The most broken class IMO
Diego Aguilar genuinely the highest damage possible
Whats that?
Noah Westerberg its a “class” that i believe TMEC started, that consists on only using electronics and traps(rolling rock included) to kill bosses

I finally beat the Moon Lord for the first time yesterday, it felt good.
And then I went on my journey to acquire the rest of the Solar Armor, and the star wrath to complete the best sword!, thankfully the terraria yo-yo is very effective for fight moon lord. Only other weapons I used before was the terrablade because it didn’t miss so much like the meowmere, also if you have jars of honey, those are very helpful, trust me in this.
Now with my armor, zenith, and my other equipment, I can finally farm the moon lord in seconds!!.
Melee Class for the Win!.
Something a lot of people don’t realize is that mage has some field set weapons (nimbus rod and rainbow gun) and you automatically get a summon slot and they can be used by all classes, making everyone’s dps higher (hurts summoner class most but also helps mage the most.)
How does the free summon helps mage the most?
I'm pretty sure the Star Wrath has higher DPS than the Meowmere when used on bosses
It has but he is not the men of culture like us
100SubsWithNoVideos the rich kid that is only liked by other rich kids
And daybreak is better than solar eruption for singular enemies. (Assuming the enemy doesn’t have segments.)
@@DonutMaster56 The daybreak would theoretically have higher damage due to it's DOT on singular targets but in practice it's not effective, they only travel couple blocks before being affected by gravity.
Let's calculate the theoretical damage.
Starwrath
Base Damage: 110
Projectiles: 220
Base theoretical damage: 330
Use time: 16 (3.75x/s)
Just the sword would have a theoretically DPS of 412.
Velocity: 8 (shoots 3 projectiles per swing, 11 projectiles appear in a sec. Each projectile can hit a target in 16 ticks or 3.75 times a second (this might be wrong)).
Theoretically every second 11 stars would hit a target with a DPS of 2,420.
In total if you were to hit them with both the sword and projectile the
DPS would be 2,832. The gamepedia says The DPS would be 1,200 on single targets.
@@DonutMaster56 NVM I read that wrong

Congrats on 300k subs
This has inspired me to play classes other than melee
This test would be so different for melee if zenith was released when this vid was recorded
I found for ranger that if you almost max out crit chance with accessories and put the rest on menacing you get even higher dps than only menacing
What would be the most practical max dmg? As in dealing the highest damage while moving during boss fights with a moderate level of accuracy to hit targets.
I've seen people upset about lack of melee damage, but I'd say it's a fair tradeoff for more defense. Ranger having second most defense has reasonable damage, without having to trade a ton of defense. Mage of course is squishy, but makes up for it with crazy damage. Summoner is the most squishy with low damage, but the tradeoff is that the summoner can focus on dodging, and therefore last longer.
I personally like to use a ranger setup with ranged armour but then also get some summons to help me out. Every little bit of damage helps so even if you’re not using summoner items, a summon can still really help you out.
Not only with ranger but with all
Summoner is actually really op now with stardust dragon staff, simply because of the buff to the stardust guardian.
I think the melee class became to most powerful once the zenith decided to exist
for the summoning class, you could have made a papyrus scarab with the hercules beetle and the necromantic scroll. and then used the pygmy necklass with adds 1 minnion slot
For this, (before Zenith), if you get the Power Glove, Mechanical Glove, and Flame Gauntlet, then the celestial shell, Warrior Emblem, and Destroyer Emblem, all readied, then you used the Legendary Felix Bahgnackas(idk how to spell) and used all the buffs you normally use with tipsy, you can probably get a higher DPS than the Meowmere, because of the short range though, there's no way to apply this set up for the Multi Target set-up
