Pretty accurate ranking overall. Very solid, no need to change anything but i suggest some micro adjustment:
Overared weapons:
1.
Uzi: A no doubt S+ if obtain early hardmode but in fact early hardmode jungle has no valuable loots for premech progression and extremely dangerous .Angry trapper is not that common enemies though. Not worth grindding, still deserved an S-.
2.
Spirit Flame: Share the same prolem with Uzi: Rarity. This time even worse, one of the hardest item to craft in the game without complex crafting tree, 2 rare ingredient. Performance is not that good, yes it has homming ability but medium range, cant control where projectile hit ( SOmetime make u fight Rez and Spaz phase 2 at the same time). Crowd control is mediorce, bad in underground. A is the best case scenario.
3.
Queen Spider Staff: Being the best sentry in practical does not means its deserve a S. OK performance free extra DPS for hybrid set but minions are way better than sentries. A- is fine.
4.
Death Sickle: Short range. In theory
Death Sickle is a good crowd control weapon but knockback mess up a lot, DPS is quite low too. Not the best but top choice for plantera.Some of the best Yoyo is only A+, there is no way DS is higher than that
5.
Desert Tiger Staff: Good minion but not good enough to deserve S+. Unreliable for Flying boss. Crowd control is not that impressive. Still a solid option after plantera if u manage to get it. A+ is fine
6.
Xeno Staff: Not exactly overated at all but Sometime stupid AI for mobile boss make it S-, otherwise very well arround and ez to get.
7.
Nightglow+Stellar Tune: Nightglow has Same mechanic as
Spirit Flame. Even Razorblade Typhoon has better DPS even again boss. Outclass by many Bossing weapon like R
azorpine and
Blizzard staff. Crowd control is ok. So A is fine.
8.Spectre staff+Bat Scepter: They re indeed not bad weapons, dirrect upgrade version of rainbowrod. But being S tier +post plantera weapons require more than that. They have ok DPS for bossing, but at this state of the game u have Blizzard staff and razorpine: far more superrior bossing DPS and have better crowd control potential,not that hard to aim and still not even S tier. The only advantage is holming effect yet overated
Underrated weapons:
1.Firecreacker: Some insane synergies make it S+. Good for entire hardmode despite WOF drop: bossing ,exploring.... Luckily only receive a small nerf.
2.
Crystal Serpent: Very ez to get with prepartion. Low mana cost for spamming. Very reliable weapon for bossing. Yeah many flaw weakness but mage load with trash weapons at this state so a weapon with no opportunity cost is appealing, provide immidate transition when enter hardmode ( like spider staff). A is ok rank.
3.
Daedalus Stormbow: Infamous combo with holy arrows still not outdated . In fact its still broken. Others arrow like ichor and unholy is not that bad actually.
One of the best weapon at this state. Underperform in underground does not hold it back. Not that flexible like Dart weapons but Raw power keep it up. Deserved S+
4.
Hallowed Repeater: U can see many speedruners use this. Not only extremely easy to craft, but its performance speak for itself. So versatile with many type of arrows. Simple to use and efficient, raw power very similar to mega shark. Deserve S-.
5.
Tome of Infinite Wisdom: Show some repect for this bros. Yes infamous Destroyer slayer. Doing ok for ground invasion and some ground boss and bad at everything else. Yeah who the
farming OOA tier 2 for this, thats the same problem for S rank Phantom Pheonix, no one care farming for it. But u should give some credit for a weapon really good at something. B+ is ok, A- is need a debate
6.
Raven Staff: DPS on par with Xeno Staff, come earlier from an event for summoner. Out perform Tiger in flying boss battle. A dirrect upgrade for sanguine. So A+ to S- is debatable.
7.Flairon: This is probably the best pre-Lunar melee weapon for most purposes and only rank A+. atleast S- or S.
8.
Bubble Gun: Best weapon for duke. Very low mana cost and insane DPS in close range. Yeah Razorblade typhoon shadowed every mage weapons in the same tier but
Bubble Gun is a nice drop when u tend to farm Duke several times. There is no harm carrying this in invenory for speciffic match up. Good weapon overall, A- is fine.
9.
Aerial Bane: Same as bubble gun, very good at specific match up. So A is fine.
10.
Stardust Cell Staff: not a bad minion yeah and with the help of whips it even better, this time very solid choice that could even compete with dragon. Yeah dragon still dragon. But Cell is defenitely not a bad choice for summoner. So S- is my rank
11.
Nebula Arcanum: DPS so absurbly high that better than last prism for many boss fights, Mastermode EOL die under 10 second with proper gear, Duke Shreded into peices wihout entering phase 3. Dominating invasions and events. The only weakness is Moonlord battle, which required specific arena and strategy, Blaze is common choice as "safer". S to S+rank no doubt.
12.Phantasm: Best bow in the game, S+ is fair enough.
13.
Celebration Mk2: Ridiculous damge, not that hard to aim. Great at everything, reward for insane damge if u manage to land all the rocket. S+
