Terraria: why mixing your armor is worth it! (sometimes)

Finally. A short that doesn’t loop.

I understand why you would do that, but it makes me angry when it's not all matching

No one does this. The game isn’t so hard to the point you need to be maximizing stats 😭👎 set bonuses are 100 times better and I will die by that, say anything else you’re just ass at the game

Most later ranger set bonuses are fairly useless, namely the shroomite stealth that requires you to _not move_, so around Tier-2 OoA i often opt for a mixed set. Frost/Chlorophyte headgear, the huntress chest piece (forget its name every time), and i think necro leggings (do correct me if wrong please). I do occasionally use full frost/full hallowed though, and in modded i almost always use the intended full armors for post-ML (vortex’s set bonus being a toggle and not motion-based is really nice, and pairs really nicely with wings that let you hover).

I mix melee, ranger and summoner armour in terrari

As a wizard/mage, I cant afford to be losing my set bonus just for 20 more mana

Honestly it depends on the set bonus.

play'd around with modded before and one of the dumbest combo's I got working was a mix of damage resistance armor and accessories making me unkillable. straight unkillable, dungeon guardian smacking me unkillable. it was fun but boring after a bit.

I just do it for aestetic reason

I used a set with the tiki head shinobi breast plate and spooky legs trust me if you sweat a bit and whip stack it's broken

I armor mix a lot when i decide im gonna min max to oblivion. I like my crit

I wished there's like a 2 out of 3 pieces bonus stats

Bro did not just say a free dodge is bad 💀

Here's the best tank build for you all:

Solar flare helmet
Beetle shell
Valhalla knight's greaves

Hero shield
Frozen shield
Paladin's shield
Berserkers gauntlet
Flesh knuckles
Celestial shell
Worm scarf

All with warding and have some ironskin and endurance potions with the brand of the inferno it would give you nearly 200 defense
