Abigail Analysis – The Best Worst Minion (Terraria)

Maybe Abigail needs another damage buff post mech? That way you could use her for most if not all of hard mode.

A late game firecracker equivalent would be sick, my cousin recently did his first summoner play-through and I tried to explain to him the power of the firecracker when paired with certain minions and in certain builds and he tried to use it effectively, but since he’s also fairly new to the game, he struggled to dodge attacks while trying to use it late game due to its low range compared to post planterra whips. That would probably also make desert tiger staff a little more viable on the off chance it drops.

I like the idea for a minion to be a support-y minion, like it adds extra damage if it hits similar to tag damage or adds speed boosts n such to your other minions, could make some funny situations and buff certain summons, especially those that are centered around single-uber-summon (like abi and tiger)

I guess that's why everyone was saying queen slime was so easy, they were all using firecracker with abigail

I feel like Abigail suits more towards players of other classes that just want to get extra damage in early-game. Sort of like how other classes will still use the Stardust Dragon for endgame. It's basically a guaranteed summoner weapon.

I don't think Abigail is intended to compete with other summons in the first place (except for flinx and slime staff). It is an item that you randomly get if there is a grave nearby, while the other summons requires you to farm or mine for certain materials.

It is meant to be a nice little bonus, not primary weapons

Dst moment

Anyone else's notice the worst part of is the stupid wip sound.

Abigail should get an extra hit per attack that can only hit one target. Clearly she's meant to deal good aoe to enemies you're grouping up and stun locking in place with melee knockback, but being able to do that effectively vs single targets would make her way less niche for early exploration.

Abigail My Dst girl Noooooo…

"summoning abigail multiple times increases her damage rather than spawn multiple of her" i can think of at least 2 other minions that work exactly like this

Thought this was a Don’t starve video comparing the good and bad of Abigail. I was wrong

Real reason Abigail falls off after Plantera is you can get the Desert Tiger staff which essentially replaces her entirely, wish she wouldn't come to a full stop the moment she tried to hit anything though that's pretty much the only reason her DPS shoots through the floor.

I'm a simple man. I hear vanilla touhou OST's, I like.

Ngl I think a range, movement, and attack speed buff would help immensely, especially since a lot of terraria bosses are so movement based. But probably the worst part of Abigail is the attack AI. Unlike most minions, Abigail doesn’t have a hit box unless she’s attacking, which makes sense ig since she’s a ghost. But I think to compensate for that, she should have been able to attack any time her would-be hitbox collides with an enemy’s hurt box.

I was shocked by the firecracker Abigail combo, I always thought it was fine that she wasn't as viable as other pre hardmode summon weapons considering how easy she is to attain but being able to compete with sanguine staff with just the firecracker is very impressive.

🎷🐛

If Abigail didn’t come to a COMPLETE stop when attacking she’d be at least mildly useful

yes but I'm not going to farm flinx fur for 3 hours unless I'm specifically doing a summon damage only challenge or something

Play pvz2 china

Abigail should get another buff after Plantera just like normal enemies do (I think).

Still one of the worst in the game littery the bird is better

Abigail in my honest opinion surpasses her limits with certain mods that allow you to bypass the summon limit
(She goes faster than the speed of sound)
