What's your favorite type of melee weapon?

[Lecic]

Does the Obsidian Swordfish count? I guess it's not really late game, but it does have the second highest damage of all spears.

Range isn't really that long on it. Also, it's a fish.

 

[neko]

anything expect the copper shortsword works for me ^^

 

[aWolfen]

Broadswords.
But I don't like the ones that shoot projectiles, since it doesn't feel truly melee.

 

[Milady Lyndis]

Wrecking stuff with the paladin's hammer is fun

 

[Prism]

I love all of the spears, especially the ones with the crazy effects.

 

[merp]

Throwing weapons like scourge of the corruptor, vampire knives

 

[GawenStarTeller]

Spears: I've always liked them, they have decent range (for a melee weapon), can handle more than one enemy, and hit multiple times. There was always one problem I had with them, though... upon getting more powerful spears, they get faster, which means you wouldn't be able to hit things as many times in one attack.

And the wiki says that the best modifier for spears is Godly, which mostly increases knock back. The hell? One of the main advantages of a spear is their ability to hit enemies more than once, but you won't be able to do that if they're already flying away upon first strike!

 

[Erienna Nakagai]

Scourge of the Corruptor, it's my backup when I'm out of mana.

 

[Zwift]

That Scourge Of The Corruptor is nice and any sword that can shoot a projectile.

 

[PandaCelt]

I love swords! My favourite pre-hardmode sword is Starfury.. Not because it's good, but because it's SPARKLY...

 

[TheNerdiestNerd]

I love swords! My favourite pre-hardmode sword is Starfury.. Not because it's good, but because it's SPARKLY...

i love starfury as well. i would take it over lots of things, because it can do up to 40-something damage

 

[Lord Hungry]

I like flails because they are pretty much a circular sword on a chain that you throw around. what is better then that?

 

[Belph]

Spears.

like for the choice and for the gif, sir. I LOVED Fate/Zero

 

[stormconure]

Favorite type: boomerangs by far, followed by beam swords. Best weapon ever: light disc.

 

[Terrariansrule]

Swords like the terra blade because it has a beam and I made my sword go super fast.

 

[Lunabell]

Vampire Knives or the Flairon. really hard to pick between them two. lol

 

[Terrariansrule]

Favorite type: boomerangs by far, followed by beam swords. Best weapon ever: light disc.

The light disc doesn't even compare too the Paladins hammer in power or speed and dps.

 

[Metoot]

Harpoon/KO Cannon/Golem Fist

 

[Ashuras-wrath]

I really like the special corruption weapon you can get from the corruption chest. Scourge of the corruption or something like that I forgot it's name. It's easy to get, the damage is alright if used with the right build and it's got homing abilities. For me that's an all in one win. The terra blade is alright. My two favortites though are for sure the rainbow and piranha guns both of them are just so random XD and if certain bosses get caught in the rainbow gun's path well there goes a chunk of their health never-mind the fact that you are beating the living daylights out of them with another weapon and it does make a useful shield/barrier from weak enemies. To top that off on nights like the blood moon and eclipses oh man things just die in lines.

 

[TheAlphαAndTheΩmega]

The kind that kills my enemies faster than they can kill me.
Basically, anything but flails.
