honestly one weapon that I find really useful is the wooden yo-yo its better than any ore sword because you can wall cheese has range and you can make a a string to increase the reach easily also it’s really helpful for farming jungle enemies
It's just forgotten because by the time a lot of people even craft string they usually have something better. But honestly Yo-yos in general are pretty underrated honestly
true. i remember back in 1.3, when i just started playing terraria, i used frost bow as my first attempt to kill destroyer. i built a cube way high in the sky and thought i would be able to kill destroyer. at the end of night, i descended and realized that i did only 20k damage.
One weapon I got surprised about is the Toxikarp, it helped me against Queen Slime and all the Mech Bosses (especially Destroyer), it's fun to use and has a high damage potential
@@LanJip on a single target yes, but nights edge is easier to use with better crowd control. Maybe dark lance is better against deerclops but against everything else nights edge is better
I got in hardmode in my meelee/ranged run recently and MY GOD the shadowflame bow was AMAZING. With frost armor (i really wanted frost armor) enemies just melt after getting hit.
Another one I don’t hear often is the Rainbow Rod. That thing is unironically one of the best mage weapons against empress of light and duke Fishron due its high speed and dps, making it great for obtaining something more late game like the nightglow or razorblade typhoon
@@wannachetoh1928 support weapons are weapons you don’t have to actively keep using. Rainbow rod is the definition of a primary weapon, it’s very versatile and performs well in every situation
You should review the frost staff! Not the "frost hydra staff", just frost staff! Found as a drop from icy mermen, its an early hardmode staff that certainly does things, but i wonder what you think? I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with it rn but please review it, I didn't even knew it existed until a few weeks ago when I was scrolling the wiki aimlessly and found it in the weapons page
another weapon thats pretty good now imo is the bananarang cause its been updated to where you dont have to collect 10 of them anymore to throw ten bananas. plus the drop chance got boosted from 3.33% to 10%.
2:40 That looked so damn funny 😂 The painter was just chillin there and a wild terrarian suddenly came flying through the door with rocket boots and started beating the hell out of him with a stinky sword, what the hell
A weapon i think is uncredibly underrated is the blow dart, its not greatbwith seeds but with poison darts it can easily carry you through the jungle early game and can easilly take out the eye of cuthulu with little health or defense and because of how easy poison darts are to obtane(simply craft 100 of them for a single stinger) i would highly recomend the blow dart as a early game ranger weapon
I played a mage run with staffs only and i noticed that the thunder zapper is on the same playing ground as the diamond staff, very strong if you dont get lucky with the ores and dont want to fish, great diamond staff replacement.
you know sock man calamity is quite a popular mod for terraria and i feel like a vast majority of players would love to see weapon reviews on all the variaty of items it has
Just today I wound up using the drippler clippler in my melee playthrough and it shredded all mech bosses and invasions 💀 Why do so few people use this weapon?
The Spirit Flame is my favourite mage weapon by far, while it's kinda annoying to get, it can take you straight to Golen or Duke Fishron and doesn't require aiming at all so you can focus 100% on dodging.
I'm currently playing a vanilla ranger play-through and holy HELL the dart rifle is terribly slept on It carried me thru mechs, plantera, and golem (and probably cultist if I wasn't ass) Get yourself a dart rifle and cursed darts and ur set 👌
Honestly the wand of frosting isn't too bad as a starter weapon. For just a chest drop and 99 ice torches it can be much easier to get in a mage playthrough than a lot of other early options.
I have to disagree with you sock number 10 should be the dripler crippler 9. dripler crippler 8. dripler crippler 7. dripler crippler 6. dripler crippler 5. dripler crippler 4. dripler crippler 3. dripler crippler 2. dripler crippler and I know it’s going to be a bit controversial but I think number one should be the dripler crippler
I don't wanna be "that guy" or anything but how does showing the Drippler Crippler against a clumped up Destroyer show how good it is compared to how hard it is to get? I mean, yeah it's good on its own, and any piercing weapon is good against that clumped destroyer, I just thought it was odd that it was the clip you chose to show how good it was, genuinely curious.
From my many destroyer cheese tests I think the drippler has the fastest kill so just wanted to highlight that part of it lol Even without that ability it’s an amazing weapon for crowd control tho
I would say that the poison knives are a reasonable alternative to the frost daggerfish, being slightly slower and having slightly less damage however mostly making up for this with it's poison effect. They can be gotten with just some throwing knives and whatever evil powder your world has. They generally seem marginally worse but I recommend it for you people who I know are averse to fishing in this game. Took down the brain with them once!
10. most people play crimson world, and pretty much every ranged weapon within reason is perfectly serviceable. 9. the underground desert is just annoying, and the demon scythe turns all of mage pre hm into a joke anyway. 8. again, the daggerfish aren't BAD, there are just so many good or decent ranged weapons that there's no point in using them over a gold bow with jester arrows, or a minishark even... 7. i don't know if this one is truly underrated in a sense, but yes it can definitely get you by in early hm until you get something better 6. first 100% agree. the paintball gun is an incredible weapon for how little effort you need to put in. 5. mage is probably my least played class, so i can't really argue this one much, but it seems pretty good so sure 4. it's not underrated, everyone KNOWS its good, its just that the event sucks 3. the bubble gun isnt even underrated, its just the worst fishron weapon, it shredding the mech bosses means nothing because EVERYTHING duke drops will shred the mech bosses... 2. sock, the night's edge is just better. the issues you had with the dark lance dont exist with the night's edge, cause the night's edge's huge swing knocks back the hungry & can hit MULTIPLE wof segments at once even in an unoptimized arena. 1. literally everything frys the destroyer, the drippler crippler just happens to be especially good at it.
The second I saw the Blood Eel enemy, I for some reason liked it. Of course that meant I killed it as soon as possible and got the drippler crippler, and since then it's been my favourite flail.
When you talked about the dart rifle, i was really excited to see, tho seeing cursed flames darts having the spotlight... why not give crystal darts a try tho? IMO its also an underrated ammo type that easily gets overshadowed by both the curse darts and ichor darts
I always see you killing the Destroyer by attacking it's spawn cluster, but I never ever saw the spawn cluster appear when I'm playing. Whenever I find him, he's already all out and surrounding me.
also if you play calamity worm bosses have 99% damage reduction for a few seconds when they spawn so you can't cheese them by using piercing weapons on the cluster
Believe it or not, the harpoon is actually fairly strong against almost every enemy in prehard mode, due to its fast fire rate at point blank range, it can deal a lot of damage with its 20+ base damage.
Joke's on you, I already use lots of these! Here's a few that i use the most Thunder Zapper: if you go for a desert run, go for it! Storm Spear: (not mentioned), but still amazing! Once again, while not as good as the Zapper, it's good for when waiting for your mana, packing a similar punch to the Zapper when close enough. Magic Dagger: Decently easy to get, if you stumble across it, then use it, as it uses mediocre mana do give WAY above mediocre dps, able to be used against mechs pretty well. Paintball Gun: Worst on the list, only because of how hard it is to get a Painter early-game, and the chance, but if you already have lots of houses, get to murderin'! Bubble Gun: While horrible for faster bosses, it is EXCEPTIONAL for close-range fights, this thing, if gotten early enough, can shred Plantera and Golem, or even Queen Slime's first stage if you wish. Dark lance: Legit one of my favorite weapons, mainly due to nostalgia. It packs a pretty good punch, being able to shell out very comparable damage to the Night's Edge, with much less grind behind it. (i still have my first ever dark lance from 2016 in my safe, along with my chain knife)
You'd be surprised, but the Chain Guillotines are OP, even in Master mode. The only bosses they're not really viable with is anything with small hitboxes (Prime's hands or Golem's hands) or bosses that require piercing (Destroyer), but you could definitely beat the Twins and even Fishron straight out of pre-hardmode with enough preparation (Ore Armor+Wings+Potions) and good gameplay using just the Guillotines. I recently did a Master mode flail-only playthrough, and they were really viable. They were able to get an average of 100 damage per hit without getting crits. I was able to beat Fishron with a few basic potions, a Cursed Flame flask, Palladium armor, spectre boots, and frost wings within 15-20 minutes (quicker if not having been on Master mode). The only problem during the fight was mobility, but that's mostly because it was an early Hardmode Fishron fight and I had bad movement, the damage worked really well though. I would recommend them as an early hardmode weapon, but I would recommend not using them against Prime or Destroyer, they are a bit tough to hit/properly take down, but you could just get Flairon and the rest of the game becomes easy.
Some of the reasons why I am not using these weapons: Dart rifle - I like to torture myself for uzi Frost daggerfish - Fishing Paintball gun - Usually I don't have enough NPC houses for painter to move in Flying dragon - You said it yourself, old one's army. I think I am going to try the dart rifle and paintball gun in my next playthrough tho. (I will also try the drippler crippler) Rest are amazing picks. I appreciated the charged blaster cannon myself. Just my last playthrough was calamity, so there were few buffs to these weapon's competitors(for example much better amber staff).
I'd like to say the Arkhalis is underrated, but considering it's a dev item (1/20 drop from expert or master HM bosses, one of many dev sets, kinda rare), I can't really call it easy to obtain, and I understand that most people don't like its attack. Not to mention its younger brother, the 1/50 Enchanted Sword-with-a-mutation Teragrim. Nevertheless, the Arkhalis is still my favorite weapon in the game.
Magic daggers underrated af. They have same dps as other mage weapon on its point of progression (except meteor staff) and it only takes to kill mimic to get it. U can easily beat all mechs with these daggers and even more, it’s honestly one of the best weapon against Fishrone. I usually kill Fishrone after mechs with holly armor. Ye it will take u a while to kill him (around 8 mins) but genuinely it’s one of the best weapons at this progression point against him as it’s really easy to aim with it, easy to destroy bubbles and sharks due to piercing so it makes Fishrone battle just into dodging his dashes which is easy if u know his attack patterns. And drop from Fishrone can be used till the end of the game so tbh all u need to go through whole hard mode is magic daggers and razor blade typhoon. To kill Fishrone I use Queen slime mount as it has best vertical mobility and its all u need to dodge, also u’ll need blizzard in balloon to get huge boost in vertical mobility. Accessories slots look like this ‘charm of myths’, ‘cross necklace’, ‘mage emblem’, ‘avenger emblem’, ‘mana cloak’, ‘Celestial Cuffs’, ‘brain of confusion’ or ‘worm scurf’, I usually enchant half of it for +4% dmg and half for +4% crit chance Build long arena, it should have 3-4 layers with gap between them that u barely see top layer. Place 2 fire camps, 2 heart lanterns, also 2 Bastet statues would be nice. Fight will go in 3 phases, 1st and 3rd are very easy if u know patterns, the only danger is mid-end of 2nd phase as it take u lot of focus to dodge attacks and place homing sharknado in right place. in 1st phase u just jump up and down when he dashes, he dashes 5 times then alternately spawns sharknadoes and bubbles, try to make him spawn sharknadoes at edge of ur arena and then go opposite direction, make him shoot bubbles at the centre and then again go to corner, make him spawn sharknadoes at edge then just turn and keep going and dodging. If doing it right no sharknadoes will reach u and u’ll be able to destroy bubbles easily. In 2nd phase he becomes faster, he does 3 dashes and then again alternately spawns homing sharknadoes and bubbles. Same in this phase, but it will be harder to control where homing sharknado spawns as it spawns when homing projectile hits u and he usually keep dashing when this projectile still flying at u. When it hits u go down and when Fishrone dashes just go up so sharknado won’t hit u as if u dodged by going down. Sharknado in 2nd phase is only dangerous thing in this battle. In 3rd phase he dashes 1 time, teleport behind u, dashes 2 times, teleport again, dashes 3 times, teleport, that’s all so u just have to count how many times he dashed. Just stay on lowest layer, when he dashes 1 time just jump over it (don’t jump on 2nd layer, jump slightly), when he dashes 2 times jump a bit higher so he dashes 1st time when u go up and 2nd time when u go down, when he dashes 3 times do same as 2 dashes just jump one more time at the end. Make him dash horizontally, never let him be right above u as it’ll be nearly impossible to dodge with Queen slime mount but it’s actually ain’t that hard to control where he dashes, few tries of practice and u turn it into slow dance where he can’t even touch u.
Ah , dart rifle looked so much better before 1.4 I always used it at least for lookes. (Great damage and cheap ammo were just nice aditions to me) Now its so atrocious i almost never use it. Magic dagger , my belloved , why would anyone underrate you? Charged laser cannon i loved you , and then you got buffed , but why they thought of you so low? Buble gun you always were by my side , why would you be unloved by someone who used you?
I managed to find a thunder zapper almost immediately in my first expert playthrough- I was already planning on going mage too. That thing carried me so far. Edit: Also, Magic Dagger is amazing. I'm glad it's finally getting attention, even if only in a list of underused weapons
Dark lance is super good, An A tier weapon for when it's introduced to the player, but the problem with it isn't even a problem with the weapon itself, its simply the fact the nights edge just exists and goes above and beyond what the dark lance is capable of.
For me, the tome of infinite wisdom has become my all-time favorite mage weapon that I don't see talked about a whole lot! I think it has incredible versatility and can carry you through plantera!
In my first playthrough beating the game, I stumbled across a dart rifle with staunch and used it almost the rest of my playthrough (not knowing about modifiers, I just thought it was part of the name)
In my opinion the drippler crippler is not underrated or used, it’s only good for destroyer and having to wait for a blood moon to have a chance of getting it from bloody eels from fishing in the blood moon is not really worth it. I would just use the shadow flame knive
d r i p p l e r c r i p p l e r
Fun weapon
epic weapon
d r i p p l e r c r i p p l e r
It cripplers enemies' drip. Truly overpowered.
I LOVE THE DRIPPLER CRIPPLER!! I LOVE WATCHING THE DESTROYER'S HP GET REDUCED TO AN EMPTY HEALTH BAR IN SECONDS 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Sockrteez’s whole goal in life is to talk about the drippler crippler
Like it’s good and all but either way it’s still a flail lol
Its a pleasure to use but so annoying to get that I dont often bother
Rest in peace destroyer. Cheesiest of bosses
yeah, rest in PIECES
Dart gun with cursed darts shreds Destroyer.
And the eater
Some others i would put would be the clockwork assault rifle , aqua scepter and the aerials bane
cwar is absolutely goated. almost as good as mega shark imo
@@Randomness662you can kill plantera with it on normal mode it’s that good

clockwork is good but not that good

honestly one weapon that I find really useful is the wooden yo-yo its better than any ore sword because you can wall cheese has range and you can make a a string to increase the reach easily also it’s really helpful for farming jungle enemies
It's just forgotten because by the time a lot of people even craft string they usually have something better.
But honestly Yo-yos in general are pretty underrated honestly
@@irisstarsterio8960string is so quick to craft that id honestly rather put the ore into it and get better armour instead
All ice mimic weapons tbh, I never see anyone use them but they are so easy to get in early hardmode and help a lot
Idk man drippler crippler lookin kinda nice
true. i remember back in 1.3, when i just started playing terraria, i used frost bow as my first attempt to kill destroyer. i built a cube way high in the sky and thought i would be able to kill destroyer. at the end of night, i descended and realized that i did only 20k damage.
ah yes, a new video posted at 2:10am, definitely gonna watch this
5am for moi
March 9th 2024 for me
sockrteez is about to make a vlog about the drippler crippler shrine in his home soon enough
Haven't finished watching the video yet but I swear if the drippler crippler is number 1 imma have an aneurysm
Did you survive your aneurysm?
Oh no
U good?
Honestly, the "belt whip" used by the "my dad" boss when I don't give him beers after he asked me to is way too overpowered
It’s so op that it can send you to an unreleased dimension called the orphanage
One weapon I got surprised about is the Toxikarp, it helped me against Queen Slime and all the Mech Bosses (especially Destroyer), it's fun to use and has a high damage potential
The dark Lance is an incredible weapon, it’s just at the same progression stage as the nights edge
it does way more dps than the night’s edge
@@LanJip on a single target yes, but nights edge is easier to use with better crowd control. Maybe dark lance is better against deerclops but against everything else nights edge is better
Shadow flame bow gets no love
I got in hardmode in my meelee/ranged run recently and MY GOD the shadowflame bow was AMAZING. With frost armor (i really wanted frost armor) enemies just melt after getting hit.
Yeah, one of my favorite weapons
Please review the Boomstick. One of the best pre-Boss weapons and something I always go for on ranged playthroughs. Can take you past skeletron.
boomstick my beloved 💖
Thank you for saying the bubble gun!!! Ain’t nobody use that thing it’s better than the razorpine
Another one I don’t hear often is the Rainbow Rod. That thing is unironically one of the best mage weapons against empress of light and duke Fishron due its high speed and dps, making it great for obtaining something more late game like the nightglow or razorblade typhoon
Its better as like a secondary, support weapon like the Clinger Staff and Nimbus Rod. If you use all of these, it is an amazing synergy with an class.
one of if not my most favorite weapon in the game, I *always* make it during a mage playthrough
@@wannachetoh1928 support weapons are weapons you don’t have to actively keep using. Rainbow rod is the definition of a primary weapon, it’s very versatile and performs well in every situation

Wait but doesn't it cost too much mana? I should attempt a boss with it to see if it's viable in boss fights
can you make a video on the Bee Gun and Wasp Gun? thy have low damage but thy are really strong in lots of situation
The Drippler crippler brings back those memories of not getting it after 23 blood eel kills 💀
You should review the frost staff! Not the "frost hydra staff", just frost staff!
Found as a drop from icy mermen, its an early hardmode staff that certainly does things, but i wonder what you think?

Day 7 of asking for a Pygmy staff review but I definitely think the pirate staff earned a spot on this list tbh

I actually just used Icy Daggerfish in a playthrough. Aside from how slow it was to get 'em, I was genuinely surprised by their performance!
And also, Paintball gun went crazy too
I never go a single playthrough without the paintball gun (with the exception of class specific runs); I’m glad it’s getting recognition
you know sock man calamity is quite a popular mod for terraria and i feel like a vast majority of players would love to see weapon reviews on all the variaty of items it has

Get yourself a dart rifle and cursed darts and ur set 👌

It usually spawns offscreen so you have to rush to where its icon starts on the map if you want to see the cluster
also if you play calamity worm bosses have 99% damage reduction for a few seconds when they spawn so you can't cheese them by using piercing weapons on the cluster
Tbh it takes some rng, gotta be super quick and head to it straight away. If you miss the cluster the drippler can still destroy tho

To kill Fishrone I use Queen slime mount as it has best vertical mobility and its all u need to dodge, also u’ll need blizzard in balloon to get huge boost in vertical mobility.
Accessories slots look like this ‘charm of myths’, ‘cross necklace’, ‘mage emblem’, ‘avenger emblem’, ‘mana cloak’, ‘Celestial Cuffs’, ‘brain of confusion’ or ‘worm scurf’,
I usually enchant half of it for +4% dmg and half for +4% crit chance
Build long arena, it should have 3-4 layers with gap between them that u barely see top layer. Place 2 fire camps, 2 heart lanterns, also 2 Bastet statues would be nice.
Fight will go in 3 phases, 1st and 3rd are very easy if u know patterns, the only danger is mid-end of 2nd phase as it take u lot of focus to dodge attacks and place homing sharknado in right place.
in 1st phase u just jump up and down when he dashes, he dashes 5 times then alternately spawns sharknadoes and bubbles, try to make him spawn sharknadoes at edge of ur arena and then go opposite direction, make him shoot bubbles at the centre and then again go to corner, make him spawn sharknadoes at edge then just turn and keep going and dodging. If doing it right no sharknadoes will reach u and u’ll be able to destroy bubbles easily.
In 2nd phase he becomes faster, he does 3 dashes and then again alternately spawns homing sharknadoes and bubbles. Same in this phase, but it will be harder to control where homing sharknado spawns as it spawns when homing projectile hits u and he usually keep dashing when this projectile still flying at u. When it hits u go down and when Fishrone dashes just go up so sharknado won’t hit u as if u dodged by going down. Sharknado in 2nd phase is only dangerous thing in this battle.
In 3rd phase he dashes 1 time, teleport behind u, dashes 2 times, teleport again, dashes 3 times, teleport, that’s all so u just have to count how many times he dashed. Just stay on lowest layer, when he dashes 1 time just jump over it (don’t jump on 2nd layer, jump slightly), when he dashes 2 times jump a bit higher so he dashes 1st time when u go up and 2nd time when u go down, when he dashes 3 times do same as 2 dashes just jump one more time at the end. Make him dash horizontally, never let him be right above u as it’ll be nearly impossible to dodge with Queen slime mount but it’s actually ain’t that hard to control where he dashes, few tries of practice and u turn it into slow dance where he can’t even touch u.
Ah , dart rifle looked so much better before 1.4
I always used it at least for lookes.
(Great damage and cheap ammo were just nice aditions to me)
Now its so atrocious i almost never use it.
Magic dagger , my belloved , why would anyone underrate you?
Charged laser cannon i loved you , and then you got buffed , but why they thought of you so low?
Buble gun you always were by my side , why would you be unloved by someone who used you?
I managed to find a thunder zapper almost immediately in my first expert playthrough- I was already planning on going mage too. That thing carried me so far.
Edit: Also, Magic Dagger is amazing. I'm glad it's finally getting attention, even if only in a list of underused weapons
Bubble gun is OVERPOWERED weapon. I beat golem cultist and moon events.
Dark lance is super good, An A tier weapon for when it's introduced to the player, but the problem with it isn't even a problem with the weapon itself, its simply the fact the nights edge just exists and goes above and beyond what the dark lance is capable of.
Unironically, I think Wand of Frosting is pretty underrated, in my first mage run in 1.4.4 I used it to take out the Wall of Flesh
For me, the tome of infinite wisdom has become my all-time favorite mage weapon that I don't see talked about a whole lot! I think it has incredible versatility and can carry you through plantera!
No blizzard staff 😞
Day 4 of asking for the blizzard staff review
In my first playthrough beating the game, I stumbled across a dart rifle with staunch and used it almost the rest of my playthrough (not knowing about modifiers, I just thought it was part of the name)
Think night’s edge should have shadowflame, as it has the SAME color as th dark lance.
I spam fish on bloodmoons every playthrough because of this channel😂 Thanks, bro!
I personally used the Flyind Dragon to finish my for the worthy playthrough. And it destroyed moonlord.
Try out the bananrang. Its speed and damage are nice, but its knockback is INSANE
Not gonna lie Mr. Sockerteez but the thumbnail is very similar to what Terrastal uses...
Nah man the Zenith is underused and underated. I've never seen anyone getting their first Moon Lord kill with it, and its actually quite good.
I don't do frost moon all that often so I never knew the "North Pole" was a weapon. Might be a decent OoA weapon. Worth a review?
first
Welldone
In my opinion the drippler crippler is not underrated or used, it’s only good for destroyer and having to wait for a blood moon to have a chance of getting it from bloody eels from fishing in the blood moon is not really worth it. I would just use the shadow flame knive
2:32 I absolutely agree with you , if you turn on auto attack you basically have a free minishark with unlimited ammo
Also. Dart rifle is objectively worse than dart pistol because its damage was nerfed so its much better to use dart pistols now
Me who's playing a Getfixedboi Legendary mode melee run:
Do frost brand next
Bubblegun now with spectre armour is actually insane vs fishron
at this point Destroyer has tooke the title of easiest hardmode boss from Golem. Golem can genuinely be hard if your temple generation is abysmal
You probably won’t look at this, and I don’t think it’s on here, what’s your thoughts on the Weather pain
when the next livestream soc?
Soooooon ;)
first minate
Gonna try to use these weapons on my next playthrough now :D
Second 😢
I like youre content
But how about you make a one about don, t starve. Its an amazing game
As someone who is currently doing a legendary playthrough, it is so hard to get some of these weapons
what? you like the drippler crippler? i never knew that! its not like you mention it in every video you ever make!
Unfortunately, due to this video, these weapons are no longer underrated :/
Wouldnt say its very underrated, but life drain lasts you a really long time...
Before watching this video, Sunfury.
Switch dark lance with bladetongue
