Yeah eventide is really versatile because of piercing and high dps Almost always works better with holy or venom arrows than with special projectiles of normal arrows
Bro, I always have an Eventide on me in my hotbar. It is just beautiful to look at. Also, you didn't mention it, but the arrows fired can be influenced by where your cursor is. The further away it is, the more spread out it is as shown in your video. The closer the cursor is to your character, the more the arrows line of travel looks similar to the Tsunami's line of travel. This was brought to you by Switch Gang.
I thought it was the other way around, like for example, when the cursor is closer to your character, the arrows reach the destination point faster, and therefor have more time to spread out, and vice versa.
@undertale fan thing I've only played the game on the Switch, but the arrows change their course depending on the cursors distance from the player. I actually didn't notice until I stood still, and the cursor was on my player character. Instead of the arrows targeting the cursor, they fire in a straight line. I only discovered it accidentally, but the arrows are dependent on the cursor's position. Like I said, I've only played the Switch version, but you could try for yourself to see if it works for other consoles (if you have a different console separate from the Switch). The cursor does have to be dead on your character from what the Switch version showed me.
I think one thing you missed when showcasing this bow was because you swapped arrow types. Sure you get a little bit of its signature projectile with the holy arrows, but the main sell of this weapon is the wooden arrow projectile speed. For large bosses you want to keep at a distance like cultist and moon lord, you can hit them way more times with more reliability with plain wooden arrows, the holy arrows are notably slower and prone to missing
Empress is worth fighting already just for the Soaring Insignia alone, the weapons are a plus. I tested this bow against the Old Ones Army and it destroys them, for events the Eventide crushes with the wooden arrows.
The Insignia is cool, but lately I've come to realize that I much prefer mounts over wings With something like the Fishron or UFO mount, you get infinite flight without having to spend two accessory slots on wings and the insignia, plus it's easier to control since you just use your directional buttons
@@juicyjuustar121 yeah but my main issue with flying mounts it's that I can't dash, plus I just use the insignia as my boots since I don't run on the ground on the ML or Empress fight. And wings are normally faster (unless it's something like Duke's mount on the rain).
@@juicyjuustar121 but they don't have that much speed neither you can dash to avoid some of the hard to dodge attacks nor you can use it for every boss they just can't keep up with the movement that wings give
@@SpiderJAAM thats true, ive just found that the extra mobility of the dash and the higher speed isnt really necessary most of the time. hell daytime empress was SURPRISINGLY easy once i switched to using a mount instead of wings
1:42 - For this attack you want to move in a circle rather than in an S formation, it'll keep you away from the circle made by the previous attack and it'll prevent you from being hit by any of the swords
I truly love buhs, they are a great way to keep yourself away from an enemy, and buhs are also a great alternative to guns, The best part about the buh is that it has more visual variety compared to guns, and this gives buhs a unique charm, the buh’s gravity can help, and that is why the buh is in of the best subclass, since it goes all the way, with buhs you can get immediately after you spawn in, and buhs you can get after the pillars, and so that is why I love buhs.
i love your videos i dont even play terraria anymore but idk theres something about these that makes me want to watch i love u bro thank u for serving god tier content
I’ve been using this in my most recent playthrough and it’s been an immaculate weapon. It’s weapons like these that motivate me to fight the empress of light in my runs even if it’s not always necessary or even efficient. One thing I’ll say though is that I much prefer the tsunami with holy arrows and would rather use this with an endless quiver just because I like the effects a lot(and the tsunami with holy arrows is extremely satisfying in its own right), plus grinding for holy arrows is sometimes a chore that I’d rather just not do.
Eol is just a good and beatiful boss in general. She and wall of flesh is probably the only perfect bosses. Well, everything about Empress of Light is good and thats why she is perfect in my eyes, Wall of Flesh doesnt have anything crazy on his drops besides the emblems and pwnhammer, but given to his insanely great concept and execution he is perfect in my eyes as well.
I've now beat the game as Ranger and Melee and both the Empress weapons for both classes have been my favourite... Empress is just the boss that keeps on giving.
in my humble opinion, i believe that the tsunami is better for single-target dps with the holy arrows rather than the eventide that said, i do recognize the eventide's piercing abitlity, which obviously makes it work better for groups the eventide is just the tsunami, but better both gameplay wise, and visually while i use the tsunami in pretty much every ranged playthrough, (since i suck ass at empress of light), i feel like it could use a re-work, maybe keeping the same things it does now, but adding a water visual trail, and maybe some homing bubbles i think this will make the two bows even
Thank you! I’m playing master mode with my friend and we are pre plantera. I love the style and format of your vids. It’s very informative and not confusing at all. I’m pretty excited to beat plantera and finally use my jungle key. 😁👌
Tbh this might be one of the best bows for moonlord because at least the wooden arrow bullets travel so fast that all you need is to aim at an eye, and that's it. while most bows have it so where you have to calculate literally gravity, if moonlord will be there when the arrow reaches it's destination, and then aim for it.
I remember using the Eventide during my Archer play through, I remember prefering Tsunami with Venom Arrows was better on single targets, but the Eventide dominated with groups. I’m not sure if it got buffed or I was too biased towards the Tsunami but I do agree it is an amazingly good bow, considering bows are my favorite weapon in the game
Empress of light is such a fair and fun bossfight, that drops good loot like the eventide to help you on your journey to kill moonlord, the final boss, who's not fun, or fair to fight. All the more reason to pick up a good weapon to make the fight easier.
I actually did a "buhs" only run and fought EOL for this drop using the Phantasm. Eventually I made a couple thousand holy arrow and took her down. Riding high on the W I fought Moonlord and won.
Dude thanks so much for reviewing this I LOVE THIS WEAPON SO MUCH I would use this over the phantasm tbh because it can be obtained pre moonlord and it absolutely GRINDS The Destroyer
I would argue the key is availability Duke is up the moment you enter hardmode while EoL needs Plantera dead for the butterflies to spawn. Both are fights you need to get accustomed to beat and the Phantasm and/or Vortex Beater are around the corner anyway
Gotta notice that you used the Eventide at normal speed against a spawn-rate-boosted solar eclipse and it still shredded through it. Opposite to lowering its use time like most occasions. This one shows even more how op this buh is.
I want you to make a video of the hambat. It’s dropped by pigrons, it gets stronger the more fed you are and if you kill something it will give you a regeneration buff. I haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet so you can be the first!
I absolutely love the eventide! The only reason I would fight the empress is for the soaring insignia and eventide. I always take with me to the pillars until I have the vortex beater or phantasm. It is such a fun weapon and very underated! 9/10 weapon rating!
Just finished Pure Ranged on Classic and it's safe to say that Eventide is quite excellent weapon when dealing with multiple enemies. It helped me on Martian Madness tho(I didn't get the Cosmic Car Key lol, but at least I get Brain Scrambler that synergizes well with Bundle of Horseshoe Baloons)
A fun fact for any rangers struggling with the solar pillar, the Eventides unique projectiles (the ones wooden arrows are converted into) cannot be reflected by enemies.
My favorite bow in the game, I know the Phantasm is better overall especially with Luminite Arrows but I have never liked how it felt personally and this bow fills every archer niche for me
i would love a showcase on the hook of dissonance as it is incredibly underrated queen slime drop which can basically replace the rod of discord is some fights and is great for martian saucer farming if you are using a bunker. i would go as far as saying it is the best hook in the game (obviously not a weapon)
With the tests you did, the tsunami with jester arrows would have turned out to be the better option, however I will agree with the fact that eventide is better for moon lord.
That would've been terrible. Holy arrows activate enemy i-frames because they have proper piercing, so only one of the five arrows would hit each individual enemy
1st phase isn't much of a problem but the 2nd phase with prismatic bolts > rainbow > Sundance is my problem, all these attacks come out immediately so I got no time to dodge or dive
I still prefer the tsunami, as having a wider projectile spread means that it fairs better for fast moving bosses as you almost always hit at least one of the 5 arrows. The tsunami also feels stronger for some reason, but I can't deny how cool the eventide looks
I personally find Eventide to be a really good all-purpose weapon, because it pairs really well with the endless quiver. But the Tsunami is better with optimised loadouts due to having a higher single-target DPS, as well as being able to take better advantage of the effects of special arrows due to having no special arrow like the Eventide. That might not matter to you, but it's worth keeping in mind.
I plan on making a playthrough where my objective will be to obtain all rainbow themed weapons. So far I have 12 on the list, 3 for each class (with rainbow gun damage type being changed to ranged instead and piranha gun damage type swapped to mage) If you have more weapons to add on the list, tell me. So far the list is: Melee: Zenith, starlight, meowmear Mage: Rainbow staff, night glow, last prism Ranger: Rainbow gun, eventide, celebration MK2 Summoner: Kaleidoscope, rainbow crystal staff, terraprisma.
"Is its performance worth fighting the empress of light" I'd fight her regardles of whether she dropped anything. It's just a really fun boss and my favorite boss.
I remeber the aerial bane being incredibly broken as all its arrows would hit one enemies which mode it destroy bosses like moonlord and any other bods
I always fight empress for infinite flight and on my ranger run, i just so happened to get it. It destroys when you can hit it but but the vortex weapons are better. For post plantera tho, it will being you through the game.
Did not watch video yet, but i say one thing: Eventide is best looking bow for me, but it is post plantera and as range you do not need to do some "pre moon lord stuff" - old one army, pumpkin and frost moons, martian madness. So... Maybe it's just me, but when i first (and last) do pure bow progression, i just selfblowing and feel really depressed because of bow list and post plantera activities. And so as i already commenting, i wish to author all best, good content as always, keep it up
"Post plantera is a big no no for her to many of u" me on my first playthrough challenging her post plantera and beating her in under 5 attempts and I'm still on my first playhthrough just found aether after countless hours of searching and still looking for jungle temple
As someone who actually thinks the empress fight is insanely fun, I always go for the eventide as it's less grind and more power than the tsunami, sucks how it really only kills cultist and the vortex pillar in most runs because fighting empress before golem is pain
It also depends on how you play the game, and your difficulty. If you're in Expert mode and up, Empress drops arguably the best accessory in the game, while Duke Fishron drops one of the best mounts in the game. If you like having more versatile mobility (that also isn't weather-based), then fight Empress. If you like more damage and versatility with accessories, fight Duke. I usually get both anyway, because they're useful for different things
It's a good weapon, but it's placement is a bit awkward. I personally fight Duke after I beat a mech boss, and then use any of Duke's drops to carry me through the rest of hardmode. Empress's weapons on the other hand, can't be obtained as early.
@keonliller_2287 that's the neat part buddy! If you're *skilled* you can fight Duke early, and be rewarded with stronger weaponry which helps speed up the rest of the game
Personally, I thought Eventide wouldn't be not that useful, since there was an alternative to it in Calamity which drops from Providence. The animations were fantastic, however slow firerate was the reason I haven't utilized it that much. I was afraid the same problem would make difference with Eventide as well and I would opt for Tsunami... But it turned out I hadn't used Tsunami not as often as Eventide during the ranged class playthrough. In conclusion, EoL may be difficult at first, still this glorious bow IS worth tryharding.
I think a lot of empress weapons fall into the trap that most weapons in this game fall into. Namely the point that they are obtainable is simultaneous to much better or easier to acquire or both better and easier to acquire weapons. It’s really hard to justify using the seedler when the terrablade is one mothron away and it’s hard to want to use the empress weapons (barring the kaleidoscope and terraprisma because there is no contemporary weapon of comparable power) when fishron drops exist. So many weapons in this game suffer from being drastically outperformed by contemporarily obtainable items.
Pretty good buh...

I would use this over the phantasm tbh because it can be obtained pre moonlord and it absolutely GRINDS The Destroyer
In all my time playing Terraria, I don't remember ever getting this weapon. Looks pretty cool.
I would argue the key is availability
Duke is up the moment you enter hardmode while EoL needs Plantera dead for the butterflies to spawn. Both are fights you need to get accustomed to beat and the Phantasm and/or Vortex Beater are around the corner anyway
I completely agree with the title the eventide looks great
Gotta notice that you used the Eventide at normal speed against a spawn-rate-boosted solar eclipse and it still shredded through it. Opposite to lowering its use time like most occasions. This one shows even more how op this buh is.
Phantasm beats both and you can pair it with jester's arrows for godlike crowd clearing capabilities

empress drops are always worth grinding for, because then you get to fight the empress of light
You forgot to mention that it is among the empress drops that changes visually depending on certain character names
Personally my favorite weapon and would easily take in exchange of a zenith even
This is probably my second or third favorite wepon
I may need to try this, I've been having a hard time with my ranged playthrough (normal mode, but I'm on my phone lol)
The only time I used the eventide is in my thorium playthrough and realised it was much better than I thought it was.
A fun fact for any rangers struggling with the solar pillar, the Eventides unique projectiles (the ones wooden arrows are converted into) cannot be reflected by enemies.
I unexpectedly obtained a Marrow early in hardmode and I'm farming Hallow Mimics with an Endless Quiver, which is very useful.

Stake launcher is very op for events and I favour it since the ammo is easy to get too

That would've been terrible. Holy arrows activate enemy i-frames because they have proper piercing, so only one of the five arrows would hit each individual enemy

Ngl all empress of light weapons have really good visuals
I still prefer the tsunami, as having a wider projectile spread means that it fairs better for fast moving bosses as you almost always hit at least one of the 5 arrows. The tsunami also feels stronger for some reason, but I can't deny how cool the eventide looks
YOU LISTENED TO ME, YOU DID THE EVENTIDE VS TSUNAMI VIDEO, THANK YOU
Eventide with Ichor arrows shreds duke fishron and golem, I do not regret killing empress before golem because I am rewarded with a spike of power
I think just using wooden arrows would make the moonlord fight easier because the projectiles aren't affected by gravity. As opposed to the phantasm.
the eventide is so good i wouldnt even defeat moonlord without it
I personally find Eventide to be a really good all-purpose weapon, because it pairs really well with the endless quiver. But the Tsunami is better with optimised loadouts due to having a higher single-target DPS, as well as being able to take better advantage of the effects of special arrows due to having no special arrow like the Eventide.

Are you gonna do Calamity weapons too? After Vanilla of course.

Eventide is best looking bow for me, but it is post plantera and as range you do not need to do some "pre moon lord stuff" - old one army, pumpkin and frost moons, martian madness.

As someone who actually thinks the empress fight is insanely fun, I always go for the eventide as it's less grind and more power than the tsunami, sucks how it really only kills cultist and the vortex pillar in most runs because fighting empress before golem is pain
This Terraria weapon is a visual masterpiece...

might be a rare case of post-plantera-syndrome actually not killing a weapo-
oh right, phantasm my beloved
Terraprisma when?
Underrated bow fr fr
Probably boils down to which boss you find easier to fight. Also the spawn items. Personally I'd say its a bit easier to find truffle worms
It also depends on how you play the game, and your difficulty. If you're in Expert mode and up, Empress drops arguably the best accessory in the game, while Duke Fishron drops one of the best mounts in the game. If you like having more versatile mobility (that also isn't weather-based), then fight Empress. If you like more damage and versatility with accessories, fight Duke. I usually get both anyway, because they're useful for different things
As a summoner I probably threw away like 3 eventides before I got the kaleidoscope
Empress of Light is easier for me than Duke Fishron
And i honestly love her drops way more
It's a good weapon, but it's placement is a bit awkward. I personally fight Duke after I beat a mech boss, and then use any of Duke's drops to carry me through the rest of hardmode. Empress's weapons on the other hand, can't be obtained as early.
duke is not supposed to be fought before all mechs are defeated, he has x2 hp of golem💀
@keonliller_2287 that's the neat part buddy! If you're *skilled* you can fight Duke early, and be rewarded with stronger weaponry which helps speed up the rest of the game
if im actually gonna stop playing melee and do a ranger playthrough, this is the reason why
good weapon! its also kinda underrated
aerial bane my beloved
Personally, I thought Eventide wouldn't be not that useful, since there was an alternative to it in Calamity which drops from Providence. The animations were fantastic, however slow firerate was the reason I haven't utilized it that much. I was afraid the same problem would make difference with Eventide as well and I would opt for Tsunami... But it turned out I hadn't used Tsunami not as often as Eventide during the ranged class playthrough.
In conclusion, EoL may be difficult at first, still this glorious bow IS worth tryharding.
I think a lot of empress weapons fall into the trap that most weapons in this game fall into. Namely the point that they are obtainable is simultaneous to much better or easier to acquire or both better and easier to acquire weapons. It’s really hard to justify using the seedler when the terrablade is one mothron away and it’s hard to want to use the empress weapons (barring the kaleidoscope and terraprisma because there is no contemporary weapon of comparable power) when fishron drops exist. So many weapons in this game suffer from being drastically outperformed by contemporarily obtainable items.
