- This Terraria weapon kills extraordinarily fast... The Starlight. When it comes to the melee class, your presented with a whole load of different weapon types throughout the game. Today, we take a look at one of the more unique shortsword style weapons that can deal some unbelievable damage at close range. Been able to take out bosses like the Lunatic Cultist out in sub 20 seconds. The question is, with it been a EoL drop, is it really worth the grind? Enjoy!

We totally need more actual late game shortswords lol
Fr
We have the copper shortsword tho.
For sure. I made a concept for a new update and I drew like 9 shortswords
Yea I just got the sinit it with be cool to have a new short sword fina
Crystal serpent video please 🥺
The Starlight feels like an important stepping stone for the melee update that came more recently, as it used to be one of few swords that weren't just "Yeah it shoots a beam"
There’s not many swords that shoot a straight beam
@@peterpumpkineater6928but a lot of the ‘meta’ swords were just beam swords
There were loads before the rework though
@@jamieallan2859 yeah that was the entire point of my comment, which is why I didn't bother responding to my first reply
There isnt a bad thing about melee weapons Having beams
Finally someone recognised the starlight for it's extreme power and strength

The starlight needs more recognition. I use it in a lot of my playthroughs. The starlight is a lot better than other people think, and I have no clue as to why it is so underrated.
People usually obtain it after either plantera or golem, which is a part of the game where the progression is at its worst. Starlight is extraordinary but there are just better choices. The choices are usually more boring, but people don't seem to care all that much.
It's overshadowed by progression and content, despite this weapon being crazy good, post-plantera progression is extremely fast and has too many content that can overshadow this weapon, especially the other weapons from events. Plus this is true melee, which I think is also an extremely underrated subclass
@@ahmahti1334it does better dps than both the pillar weapons the post ml swords are the only weapons that overshadow it
@@kittens0010 Safety, difficulty of obtaining and reliability are also factors in the strength of a weapon, not just raw dpr against a target dummy...
@@kittens0010 Yes. It has crazy base damage etc. But the range is meh, and it's really not a reliable choice, except if you're playing with godmode enabled.
I actually kinda love this weapon, simply because is so satisfying to use, but it's completely useless if you aren't going full melee, because you need that tanking to be able to use it and not die.
Full tanking is completely unnecessary. The better option is simply to know when it’s safe to use starlight, and use one of melees many safer weapons when it isn’t. Against moon lord for example, the left/right hands are starlight-safe until they start looking at you, at which point you should distance and jerk your movement to dodge.

As a long time fan of the Arkhalis, this is definitively something I'd use if I ever came across it. I just love the endless barrage of attacks weapons like these can do.
The starlight is a really powerful Moon Lord killer too. On my most recent melee-only play through, it _melted_ the palm eyes into nothing.
Sometimes I like to use it as a breath of fresh air instead of the zenith
SILVER CHARIOT!
The Starlight epitomizes the issue with Terraria Melee to me: It's only usable if melee is the one thing you aren't. The damage is amazing, but the fact that is actually locked to something vaguely resembling melee range massively lowers its viability in actual gameplay, to the point that most players will never bother with it. Even then, calling the sword that hits things about four body lengths away 'melee' is a stretch, but compared to the Terrablade....
I love this guy, he literally has helped my terraria playthrough by giving me info about weapons!
Ok let's see
1. A cool side boss fight
2. My favorite type of melee weapon EVER (a Rapier)
3. Rainbows make everything at least 3x cooler
Yes, I'm going to farm the starlight
Empress of Light is just a good and beatiful boss in general.

@@otakinnoob8704HORA HORA HORA!!
With how much I have EoL down to a science, I pretty much always go for the starlight whenever I do melee, it only really struggles against the vortex pillar and can handle most other pillar enemies handily, plus it’s just a super fun weapon to have on hand for when you’re doing stuff around the world, it’s fast, consistent, and can handle any bats or other cave annoyances in record time
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG I love this weapon so much the way it just chews through health bars zenith style but cooler. It genuinely makes me want to cry tears of joy whenever I see someone using this weapon that can even shread the moon lord down to its last atom just makes me so happy
This weapon is from an alternate universe where short swords received support all the way throughout the game
Lmao true
Starlight was my holy grail weapon in Pure Melee run, literally shreds anything in its path Yes technically it fires a short range projectile but its so short that counts as a Short sword.
Plus I remember getting this on the same run just using the Psycho Knife to kill the EoL and afterwards the MoonLord just took 3 attempts to beat with this weapon
Since I often use the witch broom mount for the moon lord fight, I end up almost directly above the top eye when I avoid the laser. It's the perfect opportunity to use the stat light. I sometimes use it on the other 2 eyes too
Love this weapon, always seemed like a hard mode version of the Arkhalis to me which is one of my favorites
As an almost exclusively melee player, i always go for it. It's an amazing weapon for anytime other than bosses. Shreds all events and is also great against the pillars. It's just awesome.
the starlight is literally my fav weapon in the game and it's a must have for me cuz i do a lot of events like frost and pumpkin moon and OOA, and the starlight just absolutely shreds through them like better. it's nice to see it finally get some love
that sword carried me through some post moonlord calamity bosses and i really enjoy playing with it when im doing melee class and i think doing empress of light is a pretty fare challenge, everyone should try it out its really fun to play with
This thing and the Horseman's Blade were a godsend for my true melee run I did not too long ago. The grind did take a while since I was sort of locked with the True Excalibur, but after that it was an easy run.
I like the star light also it is not just a projectile remembered the sword it self is also there it just doesn’t do any damage
the starlight with a high crit build is monstrously good, especially if you **cough** dont use a mount for your mobility **cough**
I think that the Starlight is very good for day-to-day use, but I probobaly wouldn't use it against bosses, because of its short range.
i dont even play terraria anymore but i feel like a kid when this guy uploads😭 back to those glorious times when i used to youtube this google that everything related to terraria. love these videos❤
A little story, i had a crossplay server to play with my friend, but it was laggy as hell, so when we tried to get away from moonlord, his dmg hitbox was there, but the hp hitbox wasn't, so we had to stay near him all the time, that's when we remember the starlight, and tell you what, it made the fight SO much easier
The starlight is another one of those true melee weapons that people say that you will just die but it will kill everything before you die. This has happened to me in calamity before with the mushroom claw from crabulon where no one cares about them, but it can shred skeletron in about 20 seconds with the bee keeper on death mode.
Hello, Sock! This weapon can melt Golem indeed.
It also is high on the cool factor
True true!
I enjoy the fact of the short range, it teaches to maneuver and I enjoy tanking fights. Amazing content as always
Weapons with a large amount of damage are an advantage, but fighting with dungeon guardians, Zenith is just copper shortsword +420 attack speed
*Immunity frames have entered the chat. as well as the range*
Love this thing. Used it during an expert melee playthrough on Moon Loord and it absolutely shreds
i always thought the star light was an epic weapon, probably the only lance ive ever used. i mean it looks amazing
It’s not a lance
@@thehighground4920 i thought it was
@@RegoiTube you were wrong
It's more of a rapier
@@LoraLoibu yeah, it's a rapier
It's such a fun weapon to use and I wish there was more for it to make it better in some way (Things like Calamity's Evasion Scarf that grants a reliable dodge and helps true melee weapons, even though technically Starlight is a projectile, it's basically a true melee weapon) since its strength is its sheer DPS but you can't build into that without risking your life, and building for bulk detracts the whole reason you'd use Starlight in the first place
YES! This weapon is busted, and when I tried it throughout the rest of the game, it absolutely shredded. I love the weapon. :)
The best thing about it is that thanks to its insanely high hit rate (similar to fetid baghnakhs) you don't need a high damage/crit setup to delete enemies. You can go for a tanky setup, and if you want you could swap an accessory for the soaring insignia. With some decent wings you basically have no more need for flying mounts for aireal mobility (except for if you want to stay at a certain height, then a mount would be easier)
I think it is a nieche secondary weapon not main. Meaning for example you go against cultist there are times you will be close enough and you can change weapons to deal more before range becomes an issue and then switch to your main weapon. I also think it is a good walk around weapon as it dealst with regular enemies with fashion
I'm literally gonna throw myself into a Terraria world, speedrun to Plantera, and then grind for this weapon because you really showed how useful it is in general. Plus I barely ever get hit in my fights anyway, so thanks for the tutorial on the Starlight!
For me the Starlight is a must for melee since there are a ton of post-Plantera farms where having absurd single target DPS makes farming much more effective. I try my best to have both a starlight for single target DPS as well as a Flying Dragon/Terra blade for ranged engagements.
The starlight is the quintessential stabby stabber.
I think this is one of the high risk high reward weapons, where skill is necessary to use.
I absolutely love this weapon and have been trying to find ways to use it ever since I first tried it. I am kinda sad though that the way the “projectiles” function prevents it from being benefitted by melee speed bonuses, which I think would be fantastic with this weapon. Either way, a weapon I love using even if said uses are limited.
They did that so it wouldn't melt things in one second 😭
@@darensamdani5770 well yeah no shit
I just want to melt things in one second
@@sarvukruv2137 just play modded 🫡
The Starlight feels like an upgrade to the Terragrim tbh, they both fill that same niche of “extreme dps up close, but no range” at their parts of the game
When I played 1.4 for the first time with some friends and one of them who was doing a melee setup got the starlight, I asked to try it out and it was so powerful that all 4 of us, all with different classes, got it and just beat the Old One’s Army by standing in front of the portals and deleting everything that came out, 2 of us on each side. That plus sentries and minions meant we really only had to try when Betsy finally came. It’s an awesome weapon!
I use starlight as both a defensive and a burst damage weapon. If something gets too close you can shred it very quickly and the knockback ensures its distance. But if opportunity presents itself like with lunatic cultist clones or a lunar pillar with no shields, it absolutely deals massive damage.
The starlight was one of the first drops I got when I beat the empress of light, and my god it dishes out a load of damage. I had a lot of fun with this weapon despite its close range drawback as it shreds through enemies like butter. Wouldn’t recommend it for fast moving or late game bosses, just for event related stuff
We NEED a longer video, PLEASE Mr. Sockrteez, please, please, please.
bro was literally gonna go suggest this to you, been needing this review for ages
"Technically the only projectile only melee weapon".
Boomerangs, Vampire Knifes, Scourge of the Corruptor, Shadowflame Knifes would like a word
Ain't Scourge of the Corruptor magic?
My first thought was the Zenith, though there is even more than that.
There's also knights edge, Excalibur, and true Excalibur. The swords themselves don't actually do any damage, just the projectile created
@@miceltusav88 no, it's melee, and it's the counterpart to vampire knives
@@nova10029 When I read that, I thought of the old functions of these weapons, and your comment made no sense.
It’s really good if you have boses even after moon lord with mods because it allows for the starlight to shine in the inventory longer
I'm doing a Master mode melee-summoner playthrough rn and this thing looks kinda sick and useful ngl
I never miss this sword in my playthrough, it's my favorite sword of all time
Made a specific build for it. Love it.
I know the Frost Moon at the beginning of the video was just to introduce the topic, but the Starlight is really good against it and other events. I used it in a normal mode playthrough and it was worth the grind. Idk about Expert or Master, but I would assume it would have the same benefits
The higher the difficulty level, the fewer possibilities for tanking. If on the classic mode you can tank, on the legendary mode (MMFTW or MMGFB) you will die, and die quickly, very quickly.
@@namesurname371 I've only tried it on Classic, and it works great since you can tank. It wouldn't really work anywhere else. Maybe Expert but idk. Better to just keep distance in other difficulties, with the Terra Blade or whatever
@@namesurname371i think it might be quite viable in JMMLGMFTWLGBTQ tho
My favorite melee weapon ever since it got introduced. It's the one thing that scratches that itch for me ever since the fetid baghnakhs got nerfed.
i would probably use it for like really annoying events like blood moons or pirates or like idk. It shreds hoards in a few seconds for high hp events like the martian raid, which is pretty impressive due to how you can get it post plantera
I once used Starlight to kill the Mutant from fargos soul mod. That challenge took like 25 minutes, but it was so much fun.
Just recently I did a full melee run and decided to not use the Terra blade nor pillar weapons for Moon Lord. The starlight was actually what I used for the first phase of moon lord, even if it did take a while (beetle armor is very bulky).
Thanks to these videos my top three melee weapons are the starlight, flying dragon, and zenith.
1.4 weapons and bosses was game changing experience, just look at empress of light and the rest of bosses, i hope devs will remake a chunk of content so it will fit this cool style
I actually think that Melee's very high defense makes up for the risk of this weapon. I genuinely regret not using this against the pillars.
Terrablade is way better for Pillars.
If there where any on hit effect Accessories the Starlight would actually be insane
i feel like there is a ton of side content postplantera that you can easly skip and go bossrush instead. It should be better spaced out. simplest sollution would be buffing both golem and moonlord and some event weapons, so you have to explore in between to beat them
I mostly use it after moon lord for fun or while building farms, as said in the video it just evaporates everything
One of my personal favourite weapons
1:11 the way he says bug net lol
i love literally all of the empress of lights weapons
Tank builds would go crazy with this sword. With good mobility too ofc.
if we had some post moon lord bosses i could see this being useful but it dropping from the empress just makes it weird to use against other stuff because she’s basically post plantera at least
Starlight is one of my favorite weapons. Glad to see it getting some recognition.
Your videos are what get me up in the morning. May whatever higher power you believe in see you well
I used this thing to shred Duke Fishron and Moon Lord in a Vanilla True Melee run (I was also using a tank loadout)
It's a rapier! I love rapiers, the classiest way to stab something to death. Plus, it's also kinda an upgrade to arkhalis, which is another super cool weapon!
Everytime I use the starlight, I think of the metal gear rising meme where raiden is just spam punching
I normally never consider the starlight in my playthroughs but I like playing games like a glass cannon so I think I’ll try it in my next playthrough.
Ngl, I'd never even heard of it before this video... usually when I play Terraria, it's with Fargo's Souls and/or Calamity, so there's usually already a boatload of stuff to choose from around that point in progression, and most of it just ends up sorted into the appropriate chest, never to be seen again
Using terra blade with a max melee speed setup shreds anything it comes across
The Starlight is one of my favourite swords, and for good reason too.
Calamity really helped me appreciate true melee builds. The adrenaline (no pun intended), the strategizing to know when and when not to swing made for not only some entertainingly brain teasing bossfights, but some very flashy gameplay. I know the Starlight isn't technically a true melee weapon, but the style of it paired with its ludicrous damage makes it very fun to use.
Starlight is my favourite weapon, I just pair it with something that has good range and then use it to wipe anything that comes within its range off the face of the earth. Also Empress has a weapon I like for every class so I almost always fight her. Eventually I got enough practice where she isn’t too hard, so now I just get the cool rainbow weapons every single time
Feels like something you would keep in your back pocket just in case something gets too close. If you're playing multiplayer and are a tank however this thing would probably shine just as bright as it's name implies.
this paired with the fishron mount makes eternity mode moon lord an absolute joke whenever moon lord is in solar/luminite phase
this weapons really good in expert and normal where not every hit is a problem but in master mode its alot harder to use as you really dont want to get hit
Full turtle/beetle set, a few defense and damage accessories all with menacing, stand completely still in skeletrons dungeon and completely destroy the cultist.
“Tank the hits and kill it before it kills you” that was the entire logic to cheese plantera with the fetid baghnakhs before they got nerfed in 1.4
As someone whose 1st class was melee in this game, I absolutely love it. I get it every time.
When I'm using starlight, i usually go for glass cannon build, it's risky, but effective
Weeird that the starlight river added a new shortsword past wof
Starlight is a no brainer upgrade for after plantera to make farming events way easier because if enemies get close to me they evaporate shortly after.
I got mine first try in my meelee hardcore works which was a big relief.
How did you know im bingewatching this?!
I was struggling with golem, so I beat eol for the kaleidoscope. I beat her first try pre-golem
this weapon is actually pretty good for caving. the tight spaces and abundant enemies bring out its power
Great Vid Socks!
The weapon that made rapiers one of my favorite weapons
It can fill the role but going for the old ones army or the marians for their respective upgrades is more practical
This weapon fills the role of side weapon a good when you can afford to swap to it for better dmg you can do it it can make your life so mutch easier
Best part about this weapon to me is that when I first discovered this weapon I was into JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and it reminded me of Silver Chariot
I've been using this thing for a couple weeks for some reason but it shreds
I love the Starlight because it makes you feel like Star Platinum but with a cool rainbow sword XD
