Weapons & Equip Terra Blade Is Garbage

[Fluffydot473]

Okay, I know that is a huuugggeee claim, but I am not wrong. The Terra Blade is supposedly the second-best sword in the game, but the Flying Dragon is sooooo much better. I think it needs either a significant damage buff, or it needs the ability to phase through solid tiles just like the Flying Dragon. As well, maybe increase the crit chance.

Keep in mind what I am saying isn't that I think the Flying Dragon is the best, but rather that the Terra Blade needs a friggin buff.

The Terra Blade's projectile is much bigger than the one of the Dlying Dragon.

Yes it is, it also pierces more, but the Flying Dragon still somehow manages to do more damage.

Terra Blade has a hidden deficit for melee speed bonuses; it only benefits from 75% of your melee speed. Additionally, one or both of the projectiles lose 25% damage per enemy hit.
That said, I think Terra is actually fine how it is now, maybe minus the huge AoE around the player. It's obtainable.. What, after plant now? I think? Whereas T3 OOA is after Golem (ie, later in progression).

Damage doesn't always mean better.
The Terra Blade has a faster swing speed, better knockback, and I believe a higher velocity. Not to mention the Terra Blade has a higher base DOS than the Flying Dragon. The only thing the Flying Dragon is really better at is base dph, penetration, and projectile size.
For single targets, the Terra Blade is arguably better.

Not to mention, even if it wasn't, not everything needs to be on par with everything, that's where progression comes in. The Terra Blade is a crafting material, it doesn't need to be as strong as the material it crafts, it's fine where it is.

For the above reasons I do not support this suggestion.

Yes, very good spot, but is it really that far in progression if you can just use the same weapons on Golem?

The damage per second (damage over time) for the Flying Dragon is higher than that of the Terra

Post Plantera and Post Golem are extremely different things.
Plantera unlocks the HM Dungeon.

Golem unlocks T3 OOA.
Far greater weapons.

I also don't go out of my way to fight the Old One's Army.

Not entirely what I meant, but either way, what I am saying is THE TERRA NEEDS A BUFF

Unless they've nerfed the Terra Blade within the past year, which I suppose is possible, this is not true. Terra Blade hits at about 1.1k, whereas the Flying Dragon hits at about 600, this of course is with single target.

You're not making any sense here. The weapon you're comparing the Terra Blade to is unlocked later in the game, meaning it will naturally be stronger than earlier weapons. Things don't need a buff just because other things are more powerful.

For me personally, I don’t want a buff for the terra blade, I just want to be able to ise the old version of it again.

Agree 100%. I actually really hate what Relogic did with melee stuff in 1.4.4, it feels very.. modded? Feels very fake? Something, it doesn't sit right with me.

Не говоря уже о том, что у Terra Blade базовый DOS выше, чем у Flying Dragon.

Terra Blade hits at about 1.1k, whereas the Flying Dragon hits at about 600, this of course is with single target.

This is nonsense. Flying Dragon has 2 ticks less speed with twice the damage, it can't do less DPS, and it doesn't.
It's 2x more powerful, and it's stupid to argue with that.

While I also completely disagree with the need to boost Terra Blade, Flying Dragon and Terra Blade are different level weapons, and Terra Blade is very powerful for its stage.

Ok... Terra blade is a early post plantera weapon easy to craft and super strong for it's stage. Great dps, piercing, big projectile and super fast and scale with melee speed. Flying dragon has bigger dps ok but needs a lot of grind, post golem, and harder to aim. Terra blade didn't meant to be the second best sword in Terraria idk how have you see that. Also, be careful of sockrteez, he can say a lot of misinformation (no hate on him)

you are joking right? terrablade is insanely powerful against pillars. its crowd control is insane. leave it alone pls. dont buff it. it would be ridiculous.

 

[Heath04🌳]

Okay, for starts I just wanna say do not trust every Terrarian youtuber's opinion on a weapon, a lot of Terrarian youtubers, not naming names, very much exaggerate weapons and have very clickbaity titles. While yes the Flying Dragon is an extremely powerful weapon and I consider it the best melee weapon for fighting Moon Lord it is by no means an excuse to buff the Terra Blade. I mean we are talking about a weapon that you get right after fighting Plantera being just as viable for Moon Lord as a weapon that is post-Golem and locked behind a much harder event. Flying Dragon is good, but that just makes sense, it is supposed to be better than the Terra Blade.

Terrablade is a weapon you get 10 minutes after plant. For the FD you need to beat t3 ooa 4 times on average.

While yes, FD is very strong, it is not a reason to buff terrablade. Terrablade is also quite strong due to how it scales with melee speed.

Don't trust sockrteez weapon reviews, they are intended for very casual audiences and don't represent the balance of the game. He tests terrablade with absolutely zero gear despite terrablade benefiting more from gear than FD.

Also wdym terrablade is supposedly the 2nd best sword? It's not even top 3 if you disregard progression.

Okay. then please think of the fact that you either have to have extremely high luck for a solar eclipse to spawn, or you need to enter the Jungle Temple so you might as well fight Golem anyway.

>flying dragon is post golem weapon
>flying dragon have small sprite
And u say terrablade is bad? Bruh

You don't need high luck for an eclipse and "you're just gonna fight Golem anyway" isn't a good argument. The Flying Dragon is still locked behind a post-Golem event, in which you'd have to farm first in pre-Golem stage for a tier 3 sentry in order to have a chance at beating Betsy before the crystal is destroyed. Terra Blade is significantly easier to get and you don't need to beat Golem.
