that and a later hardmode dart weapon, i love the ammo types and wish the subclass could have just a slight bump to make it more viable for late hardmode well really they don't fall so far back even by moonlord to be unusable by any means but it'd be nice to have more weapons in hardmode progression than just your pre-boss drop of choice
I wish there were actually good nano darts. The nanites flasks are just bad(except for events) and the nano bullets, although I really like them, are mid. I have no clue what effect they’d have though
I always thought more darts would be fun, as an ammo type they revolve around unique effects, so it would be a fun ammo type to expand. I imagine hellstone darts acting like tiny missiles
darts are easily the most op ammo type the only reason they are "bad" is they fall of quickly and every weapon that uses them would kinda suck without them
Reminder that Poison Darts also exist in pre hardmode and are crafted with Stingers, so you could well have plenty of ammo better than seeds by the time you get to Queen Bee.
Not really considering at the point of progression they become decent at (hardmode ammunition) you can just kill a mimic with any end of PHM weapon and have a weapon better in every statistic...
blow pipe is absolute shite. immediately on world gen you can bum rush the crimson and get around enemies by placing wood, find bombs on the way down, and get the undertaker
they're not underrated, they're straight up trash. blow pipe can be ok i guess if you immediately find it after you created your world but that's about it. blow gun being post-queen bee is ridiculous, just use the bee's knee
tips for queen bee: 1. Having two platforms to jump and fall between makes it super easy to dodge her charges. 2. You can dash into her with the eye of Cthulhu shield during her charges to dodge her attacks. 3. Her bee stinger machinegun attack doesn't predict your movements so moving slowly left and right can help you dodge it.
You can litteraly farm her doing nothing, with hardmode enemies statues. You find one, place next to wire of some trap, make jungle and cage for enemies (don't use pigrons), and create next to it pit with campfire, honey and band of regeneration. Also place some bees in cage (by beehives), otherwisse it wouldn't work.
The blowgun with ichor darts is a great auxiliary weapon against bosses well into hardmode, especially if you don't want to grind biome mimics for the dart guns
Wdym "grind". The dart guns are almost the first weapons you get at the start of the Hardmode. Biome mimics are mere minibosses, clearable with pre-hardmode equipment
Sadly this got nerfed, this used to work because Ichor darts had a bug where they'd deal damage per frame they're in contact with an enemy before splitting apart. They patched it.
This is the best video you've ever made. Good job. Glad to see it being given the recognition it deserves for its hardmode performance. Most people would just never use it in hardmode, despite it being pretty decent with ichor darts and a great weapon to use while grinding for your next one. Thank you socrates.
yea no one uses it cuz why would anyone when theres better options? like I love these vids but sock really said theres barely a difference between the blow gun and the dart rifle with cursed flame darts on the dummys... like really?!?! the dart rifle dealth like 500 dps more. and its also harder to aim than just a gun cuz the darts fly relativly slow. just use repeaters in early hardmode and chlorophyte shotbow post mechs. those are the real underrated weapons.
@@damnthisisabadnamestill gets outclassed by or calcium repeter so yeah it's still a offil weapon don't fall for such clickbait such as this or blood rain bow
@@ZBREAD. Your a Fucking idiot. The dart hardmode weapons are ten times better than blowgun due to higher stats plus a solution in the early game is broomstick it's just in the same biome and is 10x better
i used a tech were i put the ammo in my inventory laying out the firing order. Example: i would put like 5 Ichor darts then in the next slot some number of damage darts that last me the duration of the ichor debuff and then ichor darts again... yes it fills your inventory but its only for the fight and you can quick stack right after.
I never actually use this weapon but now I see the potential and how easy this weapon is to get, I will surely be using it in my next playthrough. Thanks!
Some kinda old speedruns used to run the blowpipe with ichor darts to shred bosses because of an old Ichor Dart bug where they'd inflict damage per frame of contact with the enemy before they split up. This is patched now but back then, the blowpip and blowgun had some wicked dps because of it.
When i did a Specialist Ranger playthrough and yeah, its basically the musket but with poison. the best part about it isnt even the dps, its the knockback. Makes exploring a breeze. Sure, there are way better options even in pre-boss like the musket and the minishark, but it is still quite a solid weapon. Darts overall are really op, shame that there are only 4 weapons that use them.
@@HeraldOfOpera I never was treating them under the same specialization. Im just saying I wish these unique and fun weapon types had more weapons to use throughout progression. Rocket launchers are basically no existence until post plantera outside of technically the snowball cannon but I doubt those count as rockets and the darts dont have particularly good ammunition or weapons post mech really.
@@TJ-hg6opit would become annoying to manage different types of ammo, with the current progression you can use bullets and arrows and be fine on all stages of the game
@@basedandredpille I think that’s a non issue. If you don’t want to manage all that ammo, you don’t have use all the ammo. And in all 4 slots you can have 1 slot for each type of ammo.
At this point, i think you can make an hour long compilation of the weapon reviews that have a section explaining how they cheese the destroyer, poor worm guy.
Dark weapons fall into the weird timing category. When you get them you either don’t need them at all, or you can get it but there’s better options. It depends on how early you do queen bee. I usually never do queen until after skele, so it’s usually useless then. But the high base damage and poison makes it good for single targets if you do queen before skele and deer.
Darts are very underrated. They're my go-to ranged ammo for early to mid hardmode, though mid-game and after it's mostly there for applying status or dealing with hordes.
fun fact, in certain terraria versions the blowPIPE (not even the blowgun) is an amazing weapon for shredding through skeletron prime and the twins when the player used ichor darts because all 3 darts would hit the boss very consistently, allowing it to out-dps a hallowed repeater. In speedruns, finding a blowpipe at the start of the run meant you would save a good amount of time fighting mechs and you could save your hallowed bars for armor, allowing you to take bigger risks. However, it was eventually nerfed and there are now better methods to deal with mechs anyways (in particular, the hallowed jousting lance)
its also notable for allowing you to apply ichor without needing to use ichor arrows/bullets on your bows/guns and inflicting it longer on average (although this only maters if you are doing a class lock as Flasks of Ichor apply ichor for longer (10to19 sec instead of 7-14 sec)
I remember seeing that in speedruns they actually use the blowpipe in hardmode because the ammo is just that good. Don’t remember where I saw it though.
imo the blowpipe is a decent choice for while you get ahold of either the dartrifle or dartgun depending on which world evil is present. (considering getting the darts are a lot easier then getting the respective ranged weapons since they drop from the corruption/ crimson mimics.)
I hear so many times that people struggle with Queen Bee. I think many have problems with the dash attack but if you dash into her with the shield of cthulu you don't get damage. Keep in mind at low health the dashes are too quick to evade them all but can still lower overall damage. Also try to listen to the stinger shooting sound so you don't turn around and run into them, the poison hits harder than mist attacks. A small two level platform arena can help too. Also check the minimap, you can see the dash phase early when she tries to get on your Y level so you can drop down or jump over.
I've noticed that the different ammo types each have their own style of behavior. Guns are powerful but their ammo is very basic, while dart weapons are simple but have very powerful ammo options, and arrows are in-between.
a post-queen bee musket that requires grind for ammo, makes you pick up seeds and inflicts an useless debuff? definitely s tier most broken weapon in the game
The Blowpipe/gun has a niche use for PvP. The poison darts inflict poison for 30-60 seconds which is insane against enemy players in pre-HM. It disables regen and also does a lot of DoT. Poison deals 2 hp/s of damage for 30-60 seconds which is 60-120 hp lost over time with regen disabled unless that player has a band of regen. Obviously a bezoar counters this but the weapon still shines through with its high base damage being effective for more heavily armored players. If nothing else, this weapon is a good secondary for the debuff alone.
Cursed Darts versus Skeletron Prime are GREAT...you just fire a couple into the air over him, switch to another weapon to hit main raw damage, then swap back when the Cursed Inferno has subsided. I basically never used either Crystal Darts or Ichor Darts simply because Cursed Darts are DoT MACHINES.
I'm making a weapons mod, I think I'll add more darts and dart weapons. Feel free to share any ideas you have, especially for darts. Dart weapons are simple, but the ammo has super powerful effects.
Unless I’m missing something it seems like you don’t have many videos on any specific whips and not too many on summons. I would love to learn more about summoner weapons considering I know essentially nothing about the class even after all these years lol
FINALLY, me and my brother (we play co-op terraria) have been using the blowpipe for the longest time, (it to us shreds skelly prime making him the easiest to best to us)
Funny enough i concidered bee quin a contendor for an easyest boss in the game , the first one you kill often even. Before i get to know its reputation.
Day what 182 of asking for a pirate staff review personally for a weapon to only be good because of an ammo type kinda makes it less than on the scale of good or bad (yes the combo might be good in certain situations cough cough datalous storm bow and holy arrows) but it doesn’t automatically make the weapon good
@@basedandredpille that very fact proves my point a weapon should be good on its own in multiple situations not just cuz of an ammo type it’s a strong good ammo type but you can slap it onto any bow
i don't see why you wouldn't just use the dart pistol instead? the base damage is comparable (27 blowgun/28 dart pistol) and since ammo carries the dart subclass anyway, wouldn't having a faster firing speed be better? this weapon is literally outclassed the moment you can make use of the hardmode darts.
Apparently a 600 dps difference is basically nothing, like I enjoy this kind of content but honestly this whole video is just a bad take, there's still no reason to ever use the blowgun at any stage of the game so it's still a completely worthless weapon
We were fooled all along... The Blowpipe is secretly S tier 😂

@@zkam900nerd (litteraly)
Well, speedrunners use this weapon.
Honestly, given what we've seen here, adding another blowgun ammo to late prehardmode could be all thats needed to put them back in the spotlight
Meteorite or hellstone darts would be cool
They should make a bunch of darts, maybe equivalents for every flask, so we’d have lots more options throughout the whole game
We already have Poison, Ichor, Cursed Flame (even though there isn’t a crystal flask)
that and a later hardmode dart weapon, i love the ammo types and wish the subclass could have just a slight bump to make it more viable for late hardmode

Bone darts could be a good addition, it could split on hit or do something like the nailgun and daybreak
I really liked the crystal darts as they are really good at enclosed areas and helped a lot in early hardmode jungle

The best thing about darts is that the poison lasts RIDICOUSLY long on players, good to annoy your friends
Huh.
2 years.
