Terraria: Minion i-frames are… important

  1. I dont fully agree with your opinion on this. I think it could be very interesting if mixed minions is a superior strategy than spamming a single type. I think especially with the spider staff it seems pretty ok. It doesnt block damage of more minions outright, it gives diminishing returns. Which means spamming a stronger weapon is still good, but mixing in some weaker weapons is viable

  2. I played with the weapon out mod in 1.3.5, and I used the fist weapons that the mod adds.
    This exact problem prevented me from using minions at all because the fist attacks would phase through the enemies and caus me to take damage when I normally wouldn't.
    It sucked especially hard because the mod also adds a multi class lunar armour set for the fist subclass and summoner

  3. you this both sucks and cool simultaniously. i really like how this thing encourages us to mix summons, but on the other hand that obviously shouldn't work like that. i really want terraria to have some deep game mechanics like that for every class. that'll be so cool if they make some another mechanic to encourage us to mix minions.

  4. They probably should leave pre-hardmode minions with static I-frames to prevent money making farms being easier to make

  5. You know what they say, a bird and a frog is worth 2 in the bush (or something like that)

    In all seriousness, great explanation of i-Frames, been looking for one for a while

  6. also pre-hardmode, farming for the vampire frog early game + flinch staff is the optimal way than having the imp staff. simply because imp always floats and attack incredibly slow

  7. ive had to watch this and the whip stacking video 3 times each but i think i understand it well enough now thank you for the videos

  8. i think minions with static frames are better for single targets, wheras minions with local frames are better with crowd control

  9. "More minions is way more complicated than just straight up more damage" debunked
    This video explains it very well, now my friend needs to understand english :/

  10. You used the word “horseshit” wrong. Horseshit is used regarding something that is nonsense. It’s not a statement about quality. Dogshit is more applicable.

  11. EoL daytime is easiest with summoner, lower defense of the class doesn't matters anymore because it oneshots you anyways and you focus more on dodging since you have minions

  12. i keep coming back to this video because i'm forgetful. despite me being like that, the explanation is the best! it was hard to find info like this, let alone stuff like the spiders. THANK – YOU! no seriously. thank you thank you

  13. i was listening to this while playing terraria and had a heart attack when the video finished because i thought i accidentally spawned empress of light

  14. This is the coolest thing i would never get by playing by myself. So basically summoner are pokemon masters that slowly assemble their army.

  15. wait a minute, This might explain why when doing a calamity playthrough on summoner, even though I got like a dozen minion upgrades throughout several bosses post moonlord, I barely got any dps up

  16. In a way I kind of like the fact that they block each other, encouraging you to use multiple minions, which is a bit more interesting imo. I just dont like how ass most of the minions are at tracking fast moving bosses. If they could improve on that, I would prefer using multiple staves.

  17. you know i do love Terraria i really do, but thing like these are what breaks the games enjoyment for me sometimes, i expect if i summin 100 spiders i get 100x the damage that a single spider would do since there are 100 of them, but knowing now that this is COMPLETELY useless to summon more than 6 and even that is stupid makes me……sad

  18. But why are many people using Flinx and frog staff against the wall of flesh for example? I mean the imp staff has more damage and also static i frames? This coule replace the flinx for example.
