The basics of whip stacking in Terraria, in 100 seconds

while i can make this, i can't exactly say how to get better at whip stacking other than practice
since im also pretty bad at it
but, two whips is definitely feasible, especially in late game where whip speeds are faster. dark harvest is your best friend (especially in 1.4.4, it got 10 effective area tag damage!)

and if you try to do this on mobile…
bless you

This does remind of Monster Hunter and why generally speaking slower weapons like Greatsword benefit less from elemental damage than faster ones like Dual Blades

And how do you whipstack? All I know is that you have more than one whip in your bar. How do you stack them?

I love the idea of tag damage, or free minions… The fact that whips actually do damage themselves though? That's just proof Relogic doesn't have any dedicated summoner players in their ranks. The fun and value of summoner, and why it's not usually popular, is in NOT doing damage yourself. Being able to focus solely on buffing, debuffing, or dodging as your minions do all the damage for you IS the joy of summoner for those who actually enjoy the playstyle. It's similar to those who enjoy playing support/healer in multiplayer games, except summoning can be done alone, for solo players.

Hi, I really like your videos because you always show the math behind game mechanics. And I think I've got an interesting (probably) video idea. The best fishing bait in terraria is master bait (cause truffle worm doesn't count and gold critters are too rare). So how can you effectively farm it in mass?

Protip: Terraria lets you set 5 different sets of keybinds. You can set one of them so that left mouse click selects the first item in your quick bar, wheel selects the second and right click the third. It makes whipstacking significantly easier, just hold lmb and occasionally any other mouse button for like a second at most. Just put your whips into 3 first quickbar slots, switch to your whipstacking keybind set right before a bossfight and have at it.

I think you should have just made this one 120 seconds to better explain what the different whips actually do

i wish they did something cooler with the summoner class instead of making it true melee but with minions

Ngl as a mobile summoner i wish they added more whip range accesories because getting into close range while whipstacking is almost a death sentence

you better wake up Photon

What actually is whip stacking though

the only decision summoners have to make is which whip to switch to next

thonks

I thought whip stacking was when you use all of the speed boosting whips to make your best whip go really fast. That’s what I’ve been doing. Snapthorn, durendal, dark harvest then kaleidoscope is the final order. It absolutely melts bosses so I’m probably going to stick with it but I’m definitely going to try actual whip stacking too!

Me with the entire hotbar full of whips (order them for priority)

i love whip stacking but the only problem is, in vanilla terraria you can switch whips while using a whip, so it makes it 10 times easier to whipstack but in tmodloader, you cant do that for some reason, why tmodloader devs?

It's actually 101 seconds, false advertising, unsubbed.

i still dont understand why stack the whips. does the tag damage stack if u use multiple? or are you just swapping to get the benefits of the cool whip’s snowflake plus the durendal’s higher dps?

Im sorry but this is 140 seconds

Damn I just started a summoner class master mode playthrough and this video comes to my suggestion this is a big help :>
