Its not.Regen is fast,yes.But bonuses it provides are only low.Small dmg and range boost for ballista doesnt help.Valhalla Knight is too strong
I don't think she's even supposed to spawn in pre-hardmode.betsy is powered down in pre-HM?
I finished all 7 waves on expert 10 times in a row though. Afterwards I finished all 7 waves 1 time in normal mode and got as many drops in that 1 go as I did in 5 expert rounds.@Gotcha!, the only thing I'm aware of right now is the fact that Dark Mages and Ogres have a lower drop rate in Tier 3 than in Tier 1&2, due to the fact that you encounter significantly more of them in Tier 3. Theoretically, going from Tier 2 Normal to Tier 3 Expert, it could seem as if the drop rate per Ogre dropped, though the overall number of Ogres killed will be a good bit higher.
This should not be the case between Tier 3 Normal and Expert, however.

@equazcion, as I understand it, its intentional. The Lightning Aura Series Sentries do notably low direct damage compared to the other sentries, but as a result of their particular mechanics, AoE, and group damage effects, the actual resulting damage is much higher.
Their listed damage is increased to represent their actual higher functional damage (for instance, rapidly hitting a number of enemies in a large range) because that couldn't be easily portrayed in the tooltip.
They also have a bonus damage effect having to do with enemy defense which lessens damage reduction due to defense, so the lower actual damage count shouldn't be significantly more impacted by high defense counts.
if ((this.type == 688 || this.type == 689 || this.type == 690) && Main.npc[i].type != 68 && Main.npc[i].defense < 999)
{
num8 += Main.npc[i].defense / 2;
}
Actually, the tooltip could just say that it ignores enemy defense.This means the Lightning Aura Staff, for example, at 34 damage, always does 34 damage, regardless of the enemy's defense. I did a little test run to confirm, attacking every enemy with the Aura Staff, and damage always hovered around 34, whether I was attacking Slimes or Unicorns or anything else. There would be no way to say this in a tooltip, so I get why they stated the tripled number.
Dunno about the lighting aura (the weapon might be just as good, but enemies probably have more resistance to damage), but Betsy does not have unique drops in expert mode other than the bag itself. (I collect every item, so kept a few bags in storage.)Is Lighting Aura better in Expert then?
Does Betsy have unique Expert drops?
Betsy doesn't have unique drops in Expert, but its Treasure Bag gives you a Defender Medal bonus above the 60 you get from the Crystal (30-50 extra).Dunno about the lighting aura (the weapon might be just as good, but enemies probably have more resistance to damage), but Betsy does not have unique drops in expert mode other than the bag itself.

She does give extra hero medallions though.
Which is basically what I said. I guess you quoted the wrong person. The crystal gives a 100 by the way, if you defeat Betsy.Betsy doesn't have unique drops in Expert, but its Treasure Bag gives you a Defender Medal bonus above the 60 you get from the Crystal (30-50 extra).
