![]() ![]() For instance, their main damage output does not come necessarily from themselves, but from the minions they summon. So step aside, solar-clad, cat-throwing players there's a new sheriff in town.Īnyway, the Summoner works highly different from the rest of the Terrarians. The Summoner is a character whose strength lies within the minions they summon to fight by their side, instead of in the overrated endgame weapons that everyone else uses. In 1.4.1, a few new Pre-Hardmode Summoner items were introduced, including more varieties of armor as well as the craftable Flinx Staff. Several new minions were added at various points of progression, several older ones got buffed, and Hallowed Armor was given a Summoner helmet. To supplement this, whips were added as a way for Summoners to deal direct damage as well as synergize more with their minions. In 1.3.4, many new sentry minions and 8 new Summoner-style armor sets were introduced to commemorate the Dungeon Defenders 2 crossover.Īnd in 1.4, the Summoner went through some substantial changes, including the ability for minions to update their damage dynamically instead of upon summoning, leading to the removal of the damage loadout strategy many used to use. In 1.3.3, the Forbidden Armor and Basilisk mount were made available, giving Summoners more options in early Hardmode. Then in 1.2.4, the Summoner class expanded dynamically, adding in far more summoning items and armors, some of which were even accessible before Hardmode (Despite the Slime Staff being obtainable before Hardmode, it's so rare that most people don't even bother looking for it).Īt last in 1.3, the Summoner was made an official class with the introduction of the Summoner Emblem, its own Celestial Tower, and of course, more minions. I just didn't pay a lot of attention to it because there wasn't a lot to it at the time. But even those weren't obtainable until the Pumpkin Moon, even later in the game than the Pygmy Staff.Ī good number of people in the Terraria community saw a lot of potential in the summoning mechanics, myself included. The Raven Staff was implemented in 1.2.1, with the Halloween update, as well as a new kind of summoning armor Spooky Armor. It also only came with one armor set, Tiki Armor, which couldn't even be obtained until after defeating Plantera, basically about 77% through the game. However, it was only introduced with three summoning weapons the Slime Staff, the Pygmy Staff, and the Staff of the Frost Hydra. ![]() The summoning "class," if you want to call it that, was introduced with the plethora of other items added in version 1.2. How much gameplay would be changed if I concentrated on being a Summoner? I couldn't go anywhere without Meteor Armor with the Space Gun, I couldn't enter Hardmode without a full set of Molten Armor. In many of my first playthroughs, it was second nature to gain a Gold Broadsword, a Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer, and work my way up to Night's Edge. I wanted to see how using these overlooked items would affect the line of gameplay. One day I decided to start fresh with a new character and world only this time, I was going to focus on summoning items, armor and accessories. Finally, Sorcerers have a wide variety of unique attacks and two different kinds of Spectre headgears, either for additional damage or for healing themselves and teammates. A Ranger keeps its distance from the enemy, firing away with a bullet, arrow or explosive weapon, depending on the Shroomite hat, for high DPS and devastating critical hits. Pair that with Vampire Knives and a Flask of Ichor and you're set. ![]() With a late-game Warrior, it's almost impossible to die due to some insanely high defense, or insanely high damage depending on which Beetle chestplate you wear. I made a number of endgame characters use specific armor, weapon and accessory sets, each pertaining to melee, ranged, or magic bonuses. I've played through Terraria time and time again. ![]()
