Any Brain of Confusion lovers here?
"…One of the most important choices is selecting the world evil"
Me, always going with random and just creating the second evil in my world:
I know I'm more than a year late to the debate, but BoC is CLEARLY superior. The dodge chance of BoC and damage resistance from WS are on the same level, both have situations they are better and worse in, BUT BoC has the 10% crit and confusion on top of that. Not only can it save your skin in a tough situation, but it also boosts your damage and gives you some breathing room from non boss enemies. The only people who still argue WS is better never played on a difficulty higher than expert or never played other class than melee.
You do have to use 3 of your accessory slots to get that max evade. A lot of builds need more to raise your own damage output.
They're both awesome. Get them both if you can.
currently using the BoC on my getfixedboi character, and i cant imagine getting as far as i have without it
If an enemy can 2-shot you with the scarf, It's going to 2 shot you anyways if you use the brain. Because you are going to dodge the first one, and the next one is going to hit you and kill you (because you don't have the damage reduction). And if you are super lucky and you manage to dodge the second one, the third one will hit you guaranteed, because of how probability works. First hit is 1/6 (16.6%), second (in a row) is 1/36 (2.7%), third one (in a row) is 1/216 (0.4%), so on. The truth is, the reduction from the brain of confusion is almost identical to the damage reduction of the worm scarf in master mode (17%), since it's a 1 in 6 (16.6%) chance on nullifying the damage. The only real difference is that the reduction from the scarf is constant while the one from the brain is random, and you might have good RNG and dodge two in a row, or none. Plus you inflict mind trick on nearby enemies (useless against bosses though). I prefer reliability so I prefer the scarf. However, it can be very valuable against the empress of light during day time, as it does increase your chances of surviving the fight if you fail to dodge one of her attacks (hallow armor + brain + ninja gear). But this is still random and unreliable.
i think im bias, but a chance to fully negate damage is better than 17% damage reduction.
This is my invulnerability set-
Ninja master gear
Brain of confusion
Tabi
Cross necklace
Hallowed armor set
I like the idea of both of these, but I played Expert mode, got in Hardmode, beaten both Empress of Light and Duke Fishron, and end up having to give it up, because of the limited small amount of accessories given. Empress of Light has that amazing accessory that allows infinite flight, and I really do not want to give it up.
Ironically, to anyone that had a hard time fighting her in nighttime, I ate a major stat buff and most of potions that help you during a tough fight, and the boss was only dealing 20 damage per hit.
I’ve always liked the worm scarf more because…well, I just like scarves
i always play drunk world so i can be more op
I'm going to say it, the worm scarf is OVERRATED.
for calamity
the brain of confusion is a solid choice
cuz damage reduction doesnt even matter post moon lord
1 hit 1 kill
from the bosses
Another thing being that once you are at low health getting hit by an attack won’t save you but no matter what health you are at the brain can save you
Idc witch corruption I get wat I get I choose random corruption
just get a drunk world and use both
fargos best of both worlds for life
I've always liked the Brain of Confusion, it's just progression wise the Worm Scarf is more consistently useful. I do like using it every now and then tho
i could have sweared, that the brain only applyed confusion and didnt give the ability to doge
As someone with a crippling gambling addiction, I do prefer the brain, but there is almost nothing that can make me want to have to build an arena in the underground crimson to fight the brain and be interrupted by a spider every 5 seconds, so i always go with corruption worlds
