i think terra blade being this strong is good for the game… it’s a game-defining sword that everyone knows about and that has a huge crafting tree. it’s good that it’s not underwhelming both visually and practically

[lrtyl]

influx waver is for people who want to try old terra blade

[leafyumm]

5:30 star light does NOT get affected by melee speed since it counts as projectiles

[DarkPortall]

11:25 the starlight's little light things don't actually benefit from it's attack speed, only the tiny shortsword

[jonathanschlott]

Not only does it excel against bosses, it absolutely shreds events

[robbe]

One thing i recall about starlight. its not affected by attack speed so menacing is better for it

I do think the Terra Blade is busted but I also like it because there isn't much progression left post-golem anyways and it's thematic, maybe the event swords could get a revamp to fill some new niche tho. Also agreed on Nebula Pillar being the most annoying, the attacks are fairly hard to dodge and they hit like a truck even using beetlee armor.

I think they should keep the Terra blade strong. It's such an iconic weapon, but has been underwhelming for a while. If they need anything, I think it should be the point in progression you get it at. Even then, I think of it as a post-golem weapon, because I almost always go straight to golem from plantera.

Fun fact: Starlight is the only shortsword in the entirety of hardmode.

I think melee's a lot more appealing now with so much updated to it, the pre-HM progression is a lot more manageable if anything
Kinda fun to see what I can look forward to depending on how quickly I push through my current melee playthrough of Calamity (currently about ready to go at the Wall, I made some attempts at the Aquatic Scourge but the 2nd phase introduces a bit too much variability to reliably make headway right now), I just haven't worked on it lately due to college plus my desire to do an art project alongside said playthrough as I collect more parts for the Zenith

[lostman]

All honesty, would love to see a lore update in the game.

[SpiderJAAM]

Yeah I too wish they made Influx Waver and Flying Dragon more on par with Terra blade, maybe also giving them a benefit on melee speed.
But yeah I just love how good melee it's now, since it's my favorite class to play with mods I love all the reworks.

[TeletubProd]

I'm so glad the Terra blade is this good, it has such a cool crafting tree, and before it got outclassed by the influx waver immediately which felt so wrong in my opinion.

[BloodyAshes]

Moonlord since 1.4.4 now always drops 2 items I'm pretty sure.

[DannYIIF]

about strongest class: I feel the classes are somewhat nicely balanced.

Ranger is the easiest to not die with just because of how most bosses and enemies work, but the other classes are capable of mad dps numbers if you're willing to take risks.
Looking at you, full emblem mage.

About Terra Blade being the way it is - it's alright being a bit stronger than other on-tier weapons, but imo right now it's overshadowing all the other options.
One of my favorite weapons in the game, the Horseman Blade, gets near the terra blades' dps numbers, but being a true melee weapon, the risk is just not worth using it in actual fights over the terra blade.
It's ok that it's easy to use and does big dps numbers - but there should be a reward for choosing higher risk weapons.

As a summoner main, kinda weird hearing Gung diss so hard on my favorite class at the end of the video.

[Spiney]

At moon lord level, ranger is still strongest. I did an every-class playthrough where I beat all bosses with every class, and vortex beater + chlorophite bullets still kills moon lord with zero risk to the player. Ranger OP

[conmoo]

I still think Ranger is the most powerful due to just the range. Yeah there's more ranged Melee weapons, but you can easily do Duke Pre-Mech with a ranger loadout.

I'm trying to do master mode for the worthy melee only, and I'm post golem to the time I'm writing this. Awesome content and thank you for being an interesting terraria YouTuber that I love watching.

Gungnir: "I don't know how I feel about Terrablade being this good"
