It’s my first time playing Master mode, and also my first time playing Summoner, and I’m loving this class, even though it’s a lot harder than I expected. I was used to the huge melee armor, and now the best I can get pre-mechs is 20… anyway, pre-hardmode was not that easy, I had a bad time fighting Skeletron but I ended up beating WoF after a couple tries. Now I’m in hardmode, and I feel like I’m making no progress.
You can see my setup in the picture.
I have a Legendary Firecracker, Godly Cool whip,
Godly Abigail’s flower, I also have the Spider staff (don’t remember the modifier, but I know it’s a good one). At first I tried to fight the destroyer, since I know Abigail is quite strong against it, but after 4 miserable fails I knew I wasn’t ready (the best I could do was leaving the Destroyer with 100k HP…). I moved to Queen Slime, and I was close to defeat her a couple time (3k HP) but I had a couple problems: my spiders can’t catch up the queen, abigail can’t really do anything since she flies away, and my other summons like frogs and imps don’t do enough damage. My only chance was the Dreadnautilus, but the first time I summoned the blood moon, I got the fcking full moon and werewolves kicked my a$$. The second time I managed to get him to half HP, but the squids were a big problem and killed me in 2 or 3 shots.
Here are all the pots I used for the bosses:
Regen
Ironskin
Swiftness
Summoning
Wrath
Heartreach
Endurance
Lifeforce
Well fed food
+ flask of ichor and fire for Queen and Nautilus (Destroyer is immune)
As for my arena, I’ve built three long platforms (more than 400 blocks in lenght and 150 in height) with Campfires, lanterns and bast statues.
The only thing I could probably improve is adding honey bubbles to my arena, and maybe farming RoD, but other than that, I’m completely stuck in early hardmode. I need help.

Forgot to say that I’ve also used a calming potion and peace candles when I tried to fight the Dreadnautilus, but there were still too many enemies lol
This is indeed natural. It really is hard to do early hard mode summoner. Can you do queen slime? The blade staff will tremendously help. Whip stacking will also give you insane dps.
Try to get the blade staff but other than that you just need to learn how to dodge better
just as a suggestion but have you tried going for a warding build and seeing how that goes. since summoner has much lower defence a warding accessory will make more difference compared to a melee armour set
Summoner just bad in terraria, it’s only good for fishing and farming regular mobs.
Don’t get me wrong, I love summoners, but in terraria it’s quite not fun. Everything depends on your summons pattern and not on actual progression or their damage which is very annoying.
Yes you can beat the game, but the fact that some summons are very inconsistent at damaging bosses is very frustrating.
Don’t jump when the eye lasers attack of wof just run they miss a lot and keep a distance from the hungries. Make a platform around half the world size in hell
If you don’t mind cheesing, phase 2 Queen slime can be outrun by minecart, pick a fast one tho
Get blade staff then get sanguine staff and these 2 can last you almost until you get xeno staff. Personally I would usually get the fire cracker if you grind for sanguine or ice whip for blade staff
