Is Terraria’s Crystal Assassin armor underrated?
29 Comments
solar armor gives you a dash too you silly billy
I'd use it but i find queen slime harder than mech bosses, so i'd rather get titanium/adamantite armor and at that point crystal armor is too weak
I still love the shield of cthulu because using it to harmlessly bounce off an enemy that's going to hit you either way is great.
I've played since before hardmode existed, and i somehow never knew the crystal assassin armor granted you a dash. I always stuck to the shield of cthulu 'till post-plantera where i make a mad dash for the tabi. Yeah, this is gonna be my new permanent first choice in early hardmode…
Im using mobile, so it really hard to utilize or even doing the dash ability at right time, which why i try to cover this with item that increase movement speed and acceleration, or defense
i use it because mining for adamantite makes me wanna die
WHAT, NO, I USE CRYSTAL ASSASINS ARMOR EVERY PLAYTHROUGH NO MATTER THE CLASS, except summoner. It almost has the same defence as titanium, is easy to get, and gives you a dash, and benefits every class.
i love crystal armor!
"class restrictions are handicaps"
I actually forgot
I consider the SoC BETTER than both the dashes hard mode has to offer. SoC might not dash as far but grants i-frames for dashing into something. Therefor you can escape some sticky situations a bit easier
Oh man, I had never used the crystal armor set so I genuinely didn't know its set bonus. That bonus is so good.
Thorium's Mod Kinetic Potion: hold my beer
Crystal assassin would be a better option in the Calamity mod, considering how at that point you will only have palladium/cobalt armour. For those who haven't played Calamity post WoF, or at all; after WoF has been defeated, cobalt and palladium spawns in your world and to get higher tier ores, you will need to beat much bosses.
I never used it until my most recent playthrough and now I’m a fan for life. I like to have multiple armors I swap for different scenarios, but Crystal Assassin’s dash freed up an accessory and I was able to kill Mechdusa on my first try.
What texture pack are you using?
Never even used it, so I didn't knew the set bonus. Might try another time, especially if I try to do an early Duke.
you offer many arguments for this, i think players could just go for a full set of armor and accessoryes that have the same theme. you either go for stats or for a theme.
Spider armor
the only downside ca has is simply having lower raw stats, but if you're clever and mix classes to maximize your damage and use the accessory slot for an even better damage accessory than what other armor would give you it's much better
There's a simple reason that I don't use crystal assassin armor, it's weird to dash in mobile
I usually have a harder time fighting the queen slime than any mechanical boss.
i think the reason everyone skips it is because everyone looks at it and goes
"oh, its better ninja armor"
and then everyone remembers how poopoo ninja armor is and so immediately assumes its going to be slightly better poopoo.
I just killed another queen slime it definitely gives more defense then mythril armour it's going to be my pre mech boss armour
Solar armor lol
Main disadvantage of the crystal assassin armor set: The sorrow of reaching the point where it falls off and you remember that there are no mid/late hardmode multi-class armor sets to upgrade to. Multi-class is the spiritual successor of the throwing class: Technically it's its own class but its progression ends early so it's just a temporary gimmick.
Solar Flare armor also gives you a dash, and obviously there's also the master ninja gear.
i absolutely hate dashing in terraria but – well just i dont like it
Paladium armor is better
1:17 shield of cthulu on normal mode?
