Due to the ammo requirements for a Ranged build, we recommend you equip Vanity Items or Buffing Potions that extend the range of your Weapon, as well as provide unlimited ammo or the chance for ammo to not be used with each shot. Unlike the Melee class, Ranged builds predominantly require ammo, which is a finite resource that must be purchased, found, or crafted. Examples of Ranged Weapons include Guns, Crossbows, Bows, Throwing Knives, and Weapons from the Explosives subclass, such as Launchers and Cannons. Ranged builds are a great option for players that like having a little breathing room during combat. Solar Flare Set (buffs life regen and reduces all damage types)Īnkh Shield (immunity to knockback, bleeding, broken armor, confused, cursed, darkness, poison, silenced, slow, weak, and chilled debuffs) Meowmere (highest damage output and strongest knockback combo weapon that fires projectiles) Valhalla Knight's Set (buffs melee bonuses)įire Gauntlet (buffs all melee attack bonuses, adds Hellfire to all attacks) Terra Blade (continues to be the best weapon at this stage) Mechanical Glove (continues to offer the best knockback and attack speed buffs) Terra Blade (fires fast, long-ranged piercing projectiles)īeetle Armor (buffs melee damage and speed) Mechanical Glove (greatly buffs knockback and attack speed) True Night's Edge (another combo weapon with a strong Melee attack, as well as Ranged projectiles) Mythril Set (greatly buffs melee bonuses)īerserker's Glove (buffs mele speed, greatly buffs knockback) Note that this is an inexhaustive list play around with what works best for you and your playstyle, and don’t be afraid to switch classes if you find a cool new Weapon that you want to try!Īncient Shadow Armor (buffs melee attack speed)Įnchanted Sword (fires projectiles, making it a strong combo Melee/Ranged option)įeral Claws (continue to provide best melee buff)įetid Baghnakhs (high damage with quick attack times) The table below gives examples of Melee builds for each world state as you progress through Terraria. Due to the close combat required for a Melee build, we recommend you equip Vanity Items that grant flight or increased movement speed, to ensure you’re able to maneuver around hostile mobs and bosses while mitigating damage. Melee Weapons include, but are not limited to, Swords, Yoyos, Spears, and Maces. Melee builds are an excellent choice for new players, as they often utilize Armor that has high defense, as well as Weapons that have a high damage output at the cost of range.
