I Made a Terraria SPEAR UPDATE in 2 Days (ft. Bijou, GitGudWO, Terraria Slime and Loaffy)
Be honest when was the last time you’ve used Spears in Thea apart from a few players they are clearly outdated and outshined by other weapon options such as the recently overhauled swords in this video I will be attempting to make a spear update in just two days and fix
The gaps in their progression to make them a fully viable and fun weapon sub class then I will get my friends to try them out that that’s so cool bro this is it’s actually so Sad melee weapons without projectiles are at a huge disadvantage in the this is mostly because of the way contact damage Works how can you expect to stay close enough to deal damage when most enemies have unpredictable movement or dashes this leads to the player taking heavy damage over time and eventually
Collapsing recent changes have helped specific weapons get back in line the biggest example of which being the changes to swords in 1.4.4 giving them considerably more coverage and in some cases projectiles most Spears however are still forgotten while the roted fork darkland and gun have received changes they still feel like downgrades to
Swords even against multiple targets where they should shine I had to come up with a cool idea to help Spears and I didn’t want to just give them the S treatment of Simply increasing their range here’s what I came up with wake points periodically appear on enemies
When the player is holding a spear white hold on that’s a bit fast anyways wak points appear every 10 seconds while the player isting a spear when the play strikes from the right angle the damage will be increased by 300% and will always crit then the weak point will
Disappear instead of attempting to fight at midle range the player can now look for attack angles and Spears become more of a strategic weapon to use instead of relying on Brute Force I added a bunch of variables allowing me to configure the weapons angle damage and reappearance delay knowing I will be
Able to use them later when creating new accessories for the sub class enemies that are grouped together will not have weak points because Spears are already good at dealing with them and it would clutter the screen too much enemies with fighter AI such as zombies are less
Likely to have we BS facing down because that’s unfair and enemies flying above the player won’t have them facing up for the same reason and with this done I C it a day and went to sleep there are 18 Spears in Thea with only six of them being available before
Defeating the Wall of Flesh compared to swords with a whooping 100 spread through the game spear progression can feel like cluster at times for example in the corruption world once you get the storm spear you will have to use it to defeat the eye of Tulu e of WS and
Skeletron before exploring the dungeon and finding a shadow key so you can eventually get your hands in Dark my next step will be to fill these gaps beginning with the corruption I know this case might be intentional because Crimson which has the hotted fork doesn’t get to have a flail but in the
Scope of this mod I want players to be able to obtain a evil biome spear no matter what I made the vile Pike a rare drop from suiters and devours in the corruption and made it a side grade to the storm spear it has a chance to swing instead of stabbing dealing increased
Damage but has overall less range than its counterpart next up is the dungeon and jungle tier I won’t add the dungeon spear because players always need to go there if they want the dark so jungle it is this one is called Bumblebee and is dropped by the queen bee it has a pretty
Long reach and Deals massive damage to wake points the rest of the game is surprisingly okay and while there isn’t a lot of choice there is always a meaningful upgrade to look for in each tier if you feel like I’ve missed something important please tell me in the comments below and please subscribe
While you’re at it continuing I add did a few accessories yoyos and Bows already have subass specific ones so mine shouldn’t fill out of place the magnifying glass is dropped by demonize and increases weak Pond damage by 20% the anatomical doll is crafted with hay and can be obtained quickly after
Unlocking the merant it makes weak points cycle 30% faster meaning they will appear for 7 Seconds instead of 10 they can be combined at a tinker Workshop to create studies in anatomy if you’re wondering yes cycle speed can be stacked but it won’t go under 1 second
It can then be combined with the Avenger emblem to create studies in mechanical Anatomy for added M damage Pirates can doop a new accessory called the P quill this one makes it so wak points are wider and th easier to hit combine it again to get studies in Universal
Anatomy and complete this crafting tree the final accessory gives 15% melee damage 50% increase won damage Ag and cycle speed while also making the weak points wider turning it into a solid option for end game players with the second day ending I ask a few friends if
They were willing to try out the mod spear weak point damage and spear weak points cycle faster oh my Gosh oh so now if I hit this part weak point oh my God wait wait so it Cycles oh shoot yeah yeah I can’t even hit it here oh you can hit on the way back too oh my gosh that’s so cool see you just get it’s like a massive guaranteed
Crit I can’t I can’t I that’s imp Oh no I got this I he’s going to jump yeah 74 damage on that all right come here get over here jeez very cool this is so cool because Spears are something I wish were more viable uh I know some mods will like rework spear
Swing animations but this takes it to a whole another level I got this i got this i got this I’m trying Tron first I’m going full gamer mode 14 damage baby oh boom boom wak Point boom boom weak point boom weak point what is it what is
It o so close so close oh weak point and because we have the spear accessories they’ll uh the weak points appear more frequently easy damn bro this is that might be a little bit too op my God where where where ooh ooh come here
Come here I go up there I go up there I go up there oh uh I can’t reach it how cool it’s like a whole new way to think about boss fights you never really think to get this close Okay go up here go up here boom face two
Boys Dash a little bit lower okay stop looking at me like that he’s looking at me a little too scary this is way more engaging than pointing and shooting a snowball cannon at this guy I’ll try and finish him off with a weak spot boom Oh that’s very
Satisfying what a fun yeah now it’s like high risk but High reward never mind never mind come here oh weak point bam Perfect come on 300 HP oh my gosh please yes yes no hold I got to I got to finish this off with a weak point baby
Boom that that’s so cool bro this is it’s actually so satisfying with like a faster speeder this will be like act so fun to use if you’ve enjoyed this video please consider leaving a like and subscribing I’m just starting my YouTube Journey so anything helps the mod is available

Updated the mod to be compatible with (most) modded spears and accessories such as the Thorium Spear tips!
Turns out the Crimson DOES have a flail 😅
I completely overlooked that one (and don't understand why it exists too, since it just means the crimson has one more melee weapon for … some reason?)
if you make parry build?
where you use one knife and light shield to parry attacks to hit with stronger attacks
and tou can perry projectiles to make them go back and hit the enemy
and you can reflect magic if you dont have one especific shield
like mirror shield or something like that
Love these concepts, I’ll definitely be trying a playthrough with this mod on at some point.
Also, for a suggestion: I think it’d be neat to see some kind of more aggressive late game spear as a compliment to the north pole’s projectile attacks. Maybe a golem drop that gives defensive buffs on hit or a pumpkin moon one that functions similarly to the horseman’s blade and summons homing pumpkins when attacking a weak point
Thorium added a bunch of spear tips which give you a ranged projectile, that deals like 1/3 your weapons damage, and seem to have varying range based on I think attack speed?
Dang this is awesome! The devs of Terraria should consider adding this in. There is still a lot to be worked on even after adding this!
first time i see your chanal it was a funn video
Good concept, I would say that requires more than 2 days for brewing a nicer way to play with spears and such. Not bad!
The only issue is that Swords are still a lot better…
nice
Kinda thought the corruption spear would be crafted like the meatball
Sick
Answer: I started using spear in my first Master Mode playthrough, not recorded, sadly
Wonder if it would be possible to add an accesory, that makes second, much thinner weakpoint on normal one, and hitting it would inflict enemy with a powerful DOT?
5:14
Bro edging the weak point 💀
Feel like the accessory should have a final upgrade closer to endgame perhaps? It's a long gap from pirates until there. Great video and ideas though, I would love to do a spears only run
Spears exclusively is annoying and hard but the dark lance is busted
This is so awesome. I feel like there isn’t a class like this at all in any mod I have played. Well done!
I didn’t catch it in the vid, but do the ranged attacks also count for the weakpoint hits? If so the North Pole would be crazy vs flying bosses.
Maybe another accessory that increases the chance the angle of weakpoint will appear towards your character. So instead of the backside of the enemy it can appear in the half facing towards your character.
Possible to balance it by make the weakpoint angle smaller or maybe haveing a reduction in weakpoint dmg. This allows you to have more consistant weakpoints as the cost of power.
this is so cool
has anyone ever told you that you kinda sound like the horse from horsin' around?
Oh hey I remember you. I think you made orchid mod? Really cool to see you are still around doing stuff to this day in the community.
As a spriter for many mods in this community orchid always stood out to me with its unique classes.
I really love your mechanic! It would be cool if later in HM spear holder can get some damage reduction or long range thrust (against flying enemy like twins)
this channel is lowkey underrated you need to make more content tho : )
Kind of surprised you didn't make the corruption spear crafted from Eater of Worlds materials, like the Meatball.
Hello, I suppose that you are French (at least you live in France), I'm french too. But yeah more seriously I love your videos. Continue this way ❤👍
Good video
le goat tout simplement
It would be so cool if you expanded the mod with more spears in hardmode to fill the gaps there too
