On the topic of shortswords, the Starlight fundamentally functions like a shortsword (omni-directional, multi-stab attack similar to gladius, and can get the legendary modifier which only swords, tools, and whips can get) and is extremely strong. You would think "is this a shortsword's time to shine? Will this weapon type finally be somewhat relevant" Then it turns out it isn't classified as one because it "uses a projectile" (when did that stop Terra blade to be a broadsword), so shortswords would stay forever in irrelevancy (other than the copper shortsword)
@gassug2
2 жыл бұрын
the reason the copper shortsword is so relevant though is because of its memetic status. if you replaced the starter weapon with anything else it'd probably have the same joke status as the copper shortsword does in the terraria community. also starlight *is* a shortsword. i don't care what the wiki says (the wiki has also been repeatedly proven incorrect in the past, so its credibility is a bit dicey despite being an official wiki). the starlight behaves like a shortsword, and the "projectiles" aren't really projectiles, just extensions of the blade, so to speak. if we want to be pedantic and say they are projectiles, then the starlight is indeed not a shortsword, but at that point any sword that uses a projectile is not a sword, it's a ranged weapon that deals melee damage.
@mb654bloopers
2 жыл бұрын
@@gassug2 it's more like copper shortsword is relevant since, unlike other shortswords, you will start with one most of the time. In journey mode you start with iron shortsword and the finch staff, but these and other starter weapons aren't meme'd on as much, exceptions being the blowgun and the wand of sparking but other starter options exist for those classes like wooden bow, gem staff, and slime/Abigail summon, but copper shortsword is the definitive melee starter earning its iconic spot (and it's technically as intended since it is part of the zenith, not the wooden sword). Also I agree, starlight should be classified as a shortsword, the only good shortsword

the main problem with this weapon is that it's pretty bad by the standards of the time you get it by the time you reach your first marble cave, you've probably already got a Light's Bane/Blood Butcherer at the very least, making it completely useless by the time you get it so unless you speedrun finding a marble cave, that is precisely the reason this weapon sees no real use one of the ways i can see of compensating for this weapon's general... badness, is by giving it a small gimmick. like maybe it has a higher crit chance, maybe it applies a special buff on crit, maybe it restores health on crit, maybe it reduces the enemy's defense... on crit.

Gladiator Armor is actually really good on PC, 16 defense and knockback immunity before having to fight any bosses means it outclasses Gold/Platinum armor and could hold it's own against the Evil Biome armor depending on what you want. I've grinded for it a few times and of course gotten my fair share of Gladius(es?) and Pizzas, and from what I've experienced, it's not THAT bad. Inefficient against bosses it is, but it's really nice to have against normal enemies, it has really nice DPS for a weapon that you can literally get before fighting any bosses. Hoplites aren't even that scary if you know how to fight them, and if you managed to get a Slime/Finch Staff, then they're completely trivialized. And once you get the banner it's made much easier, just hole up in the abandoned cabin/a box if you're on low HP.
