Yeah i hate it when they "travel blocks" (No like seriously like if you want to explore or something aside from whips this would be the best thing to light up open areas but too bad they don't phase through blocks)
Fun fact: Onyx blaster has the bare minimum use time to interrupt paladins throwing their hammers. Just a fun tidbit I learned from my first playthrough.
I wish they would rebalance alot of the post plantera weapons so that they’re designed to kill golem instead of just being an in between option. Also I wish they would significantly increase the hp of golem to the point where planteras weapons are barely strong enough to kill it. That way you could use planteras weapons to go get a post plantera weapon to kill golem. Idk just an idea to make a lot of the weapons between plantera and cultist more viable
@@Messerschmitt_BF_109G_10 how so? golem is piss easy normally, legendary mode puts him on par with roughly where he should be.

I’ve been playing Terraria on the 3DS for the past couple of months in an effort to relive my youth. The older versions of Terraria bring me so many memories. I just managed to get the Paladin’s Hammer last night and it was a lot more time-consuming to obtain than I expected but I love it!
@@abra_escaped I especially enjoy grinding for rare items in the older versions since good items are generally more unique and carry more weight in the classic progression
@@rickyv8709 yeah. Just finished a 1.4 playthrough a couple days ago and it's wild how there's so much stuff to do between Plantera and Golem but almost none of it matters because he's so easy to beat
Back when I first played terraria when 1.2 was the coolest update and all I had was a 124p box TV, the paladins hammer was the true OP weapon to me. One of my oldest memories is of my older brother explaining to me what it was and how to get it as I watched in awe. The Paladin Hammer is one of my favorite weapons in the game.
I remember around the time I started playing the game, someone joined my Xbox 360 world and just dropped me a dragon armor set, red's wings, and a paladins hammer. I was still in pre hardmode, and i sucked at the game, so I would still occasionally die. However, I ended up LOVING the Paladin's Hammer. It brought me great memories, and at the time, I didn't have the slightest clue of what you could even do in the game. Seeing all of these INSANE items opened my eyes to possibilities in Terraria, and it's honestly what probably really awakened my love and interest for the game.
This was always my favourite terraria weapon and it will hold a spot in my heart forever. I remember getting it from a friend on terraria xbox 360 1.2. I thought it was pretty cool and I never knew how to get it at that time.
Glowup? My man, in 1.2 and 1.3 almost everyone used this weapon despite it not having autofire In 1.2 it was good for Golem, good for Moon Events, good for Fishron all because of infinite piercing and high damage Even in 1.3 it was still great due to the amount of damage it could dish to the pillars. But I agree that autoswing made it even better, just the thing that it was still good pre 1.4
When playing with a Controller or Touchscreen you have the ability of target lock. And because of the hammer having such high velocity it’s very effective so it not having homing is also not a problem.
Back in the day, in 1.2, definitely one of the best weapons. I used to use it in PvP a lot because, comparatively, weapons such as the hatchet just weren't fast enough. Terrablade was definitely quite powerful too, but can be easy to dodge.
The paladins hammer is really underated why it is a rare drop from the paladin it's worth to get cuz of it's performance. But there's also another weapon then you can get from Killing plantera and it's called the *Leaf blower*
@@zzyy1934 when i defeat duke for the first time on 1.2 i remember needing to look at a tutorial because i refused to take off the meteor armor because it looked cool
@@kingofgrim4761 He's far from my favorite boss but i dont even dislike him as a boss or anything. It's just that just crafting his spawn item is way too obnoxious and tedious for an optional boss
For these kind of melee weapon videos you should use the best hybrid set for dps (chloro mask, monk shirt and squire greaves) to showcase how much damage a weapon can do
when i tried to get the paladin's hammer it took me 32 paladin's to get it,4 hours of grinding just for me to get the terra blade 40 minutes later. Did get like 9 platinum out of it though
Tbh I think the fact that we don't have paladin vanity set in game is a bit of a mistake. I want to be just like a real mob, going around with shield and hammer in my arms, defeating everyone and everything on sight.
So there's a hammer which acts like a boomerang, and an axe that acts like a boomerang. What's next, a pickaxe that acts like a boomerang? Or a fishing rod?
With buffs, damage beetle armor, full damage accessories minus two for mobility (in master) and you can easily get 225+ damage, is crazy strong in some scenarios. P.S.: I mean the damage on the tooltip not the dps
Back in the old 1.2 Days in the Mobile port, Paladin’s Hammer was always THE weapon to have as a melee player, alongside the Terra Blade. Because back in the days it wasn’t autoswing and everything in the Mobile port was autoswing, Paladin’s Hammer easily was S-Tier back in the day. Only reason why it was beat out by the Hatchet was because of its update in 1.3, and the way to obtain the thing. Still really love the Hammer, as the damage is really good, and the range can just be increased by melee speed, making it one of the best melee weapons pre-Cultist. If it could go through walls, this weapon would easily be just the slightly worse version of the Solar Eruption.
In PVP this thing is unbelievably strong due to 3 reasons. 1 being people rarely use things like star cloak or cross necklace for PVP, 2 the rebound can also hit and with the less I frames from not using the prior mentioned defense accessories it can easily do the double hit, 3 it just has high base damage.
Something that was discovered by Gromek in his For the Worthy playthrough. Super star shooter destroys the destroyer faster than the Zenith. I know this is not about the Paladin's Hammer but i just want to let people know.
If your playing melee I think I would go with the hammer but as a summoner main, the ease of use of the hatchet while being able to focus on dodging bosses is very helpful, at least before summoners had whips
I think the dynamic between the hammer and the hatchet are like that of the phantasm and the vortex beater, in that the paladin's hammer has higher damage but requires you to take more of a risk, while the possessed hatchet has slightly lower damage but will keep you at a much safer distance and allow you to focus more on dodging. I'm not sure how I would add piercing to this equation, but at the very least the hatchet can't hold a candle to the hammer in the crowd control game.
I always used this. First time I played terraria a friend gave me both this and the terrablade. This is a weapon I'm shocked people don't use, and I love using it if I'm lucky enough to get it's drop
I want them to add Paladin armor, obtained after golem, buffs your damage when you use the paladin's hammer, increasing defense with the paladin's shield. The downside would be that it slows your movement by 25-30%.
The Paladin's Hammer is a weapon I used to love in 1.2, but using it today, feels a bit sluggish and inconsistent with aiming + the massive knockback compared to the Possessed Hatchet, I still love the single target performance of the Paladin's Hammer though.
range isnt a major problem if you can lead enemies into your shots. additionally due to the fast projectile speed it can be used to aim much more reliably and so having no homing doesnt feel bad. amazing weapon overall
I remember getting the paladins hammer on mobile pre 1.3 when I accidentally dropped my terra blade and some random person took it and gave me the hammer. Ever since then I got used to it and use it a lot even with it flaws
When i played 1.2 on mobile bc i had no pc, Paladin's Hammer was the definitive weapon for melees, high use speed, infinite piercieng, you can use flasks with it and the highest damage in the game
FINALLY! A someone gets it! I’ve always been a firm believer in the paladin’s hammer over the hatchet. I hate that people just completely ignore it, or flat out tell me that the Paladin’s Hammer isn’t as good as the hatchet because “Homing Bro”. The hatchet is easier to use I will admit, but then they’re forsaking big damage potential for that homing ability they crave so much. Not to mention the possessed hatchet is complete ASS to use against groups. The hammer in general is just better, sacrificing the ease of use of the hatchet in exchange for bigger damage and versatility in both single and multi target damage.
Another tip when fighting paladin, he won't attack if you keep always hitting him witha fast hitting weapon so you can easily take him out even with true melee
The Paladin enemy isn’t deadly so as long as you keep hitting it. The Paladin’s attacks gets canceled whenever he’s getting hit, basically just use a weapon that is atleast decently fast 3 swings per second. And stick to him in Melee
Paladins actually reset their attack timer when hit! So if you have a good attack speed, you can get right up to it, just make sure to not get hit into the paladin
There was one mod that when you hit mobs like enchanted sword or paladim, it won't reset their attacks, and keeps going... I think it was fargos soul or smthn else, lol
A long time ago, me and my brother would play terraria mobile (this was back when Ocram existed on mobile) and this thing did more damage and was better than any other weapon in the game with a good modifier
It would make people angry but I wonder if making truffle worms and prismatic butterflies only spawn after golem would help make some loot less redundant
i don't usually use either weapon but when i do, the hatchet is better because of the homing as fast bosses (i play modded) can be homed on and defeated with relative ease
Sockrteez: “how will I ever find a use for this weapon, it does barely any damage and it’s slow fire rate sucks!” The destroyer: you are safe now, child
I hate how so many weapons lose the ability to travel through blocks when obtained by the player! Like it’s the same weapon the Paladins using right!?
If we got the weapons just as they look when bosses were using them the Terrarian would be a god.
Yeah but, do you have the training you would likely need to become a paladin?
My disappointment when I found that out was immeasurable
It’s also mainly all the dungeon weapons for some reason too
Yeah i hate it when they "travel blocks"
(No like seriously like if you want to explore or something aside from whips this would be the best thing to light up open areas but too bad they don't phase through blocks)
Yes at least calamity and other weapons make up with them being awesome
Also the end with the super fast hammer is ridiculous
the issue with paladin's hammer is the insane knockback if it didn't knock enemies so far away you'd be able to clear large groups much quicker
Yes, but the damage it does usually makes up for it (killing most enemies quick enough before they get knocked away)
Considering that plenty of enemies have a ton of knockback resistance in the later game, I'd say that's a feature. It also helps group up enemies.
I think it’s more single target damage than a group weapon
Then again, it’s a massive hammer going at lightning speed so I’d expect it to have lots of knock back
Really wished there was a “condensed” reforge which reduces size and knockback but gives 3-5% more damage than godly/legendary
I usually go for the ruthless prefix as I feel the reduced knockback works well on dealing with mobs.
^ ^ ^ (plus highest base damage out of the other reforges)
I agree
Or just use another weapon for mobs. Paladins hammer aint even worth getting on endgame. (It is endgame shutup)
@@mattmurdog7590 been playing since 1.2. It used to be crazy back then. It’s had a sentimental value to me ever since.
@@mattmurdog7590 pre golem isn't endgame
"Paladin Hammer vs The Possessed Hatchet" is the original "Mjolnir vs Leviathan Axe"
Agreed

Same, it's been a crucial part of any melee run I do since I started playing many years ago
Fun fact: Onyx blaster has the bare minimum use time to interrupt paladins throwing their hammers. Just a fun tidbit I learned from my first playthrough.
the pistol planetera drops is also enough to do that i think, and is better damage wise
