Terraria class guide: what they are and everything you need to know

 

Terraria is a free exploration game that places us in an almost infinite world in which we can live adventures . However, no story would be complete without enemies threatening our safety. And in this sense, this title does an excellent job, as it has hundreds of varied monsters that want to kill us.

As players enter the Terraria universe , they understand that danger lurks around every corner and that it gets worse at night . Therefore, it is essential to build a house to take refuge from these abominations. Although there is no protection that saves us from having to face the Terraria Bosses , which are very powerful and dangerous.

However, although there is a lot of danger in this world, players also have ways to defend themselves and even to end these threats . As a good adventure game, the battles in Terraria play an important role and users will be able to choose between various classes or battle styles. This is necessary to determine the equipment you will use.

If you are starting to play and still do not know about the combat classes that exist , do not worry, because in the next few lines we will tell you everything in detail, as well as what are the best sets of weapons and armor that you can equip.

What are the classes at Terraria

As in many other games, when it comes to fighting, you need to specialize in some style of battle , be it using magic and enchanted items, ranged attacks, or simply brute force with melee attacks.

Terraria combat classes

Fortunately, in Terraria, it is not necessary to choose one of the different combat styles and forget about the rest , but at any time the player can make the decision to change it. This is useful, as there are bosses who are vulnerable to a specific type of class and weapons.

The classes in Terraria are: Guardian, Warrior, Mage, and Summoner . Each of these has a set of abilities , as well as statistics and possibilities. According to the style that the players choose, they will have access to specific armor and weapons, which can be improved to be more efficient.

Having said all the above, we will tell you everything about the different classes that exist in Terraria , their characteristics and also the most appropriate set of weapons, accessories and armor for each one.

What are the types of classes that exist in Terraria

We recently told you that there are 4 different classes in Terraria and that each one has specific advantages and characteristics. But it is necessary to go deeper about it so that, if you are starting, it will be easier for you to make a decision.

While it is true that, in Terraria, there is nothing like a skill tree nor do you have to follow different paths to define a combat class, it is possible to adopt them by equipping the necessary accessories and improve them. Next, we tell you more about it.

Guardian class: ranged attacks

If you are one of the players who most enjoys facing opponents at a safe distance , without putting themselves at risk and using projectiles, then the Guardian class is the one for you . To do this, you will have to give priority to long-range weapons, such as pistols, arrows, bows, objects that can be thrown , but also equipment and accessories that provide you with efficiency bonuses.

Guardian class in Terraria

It can be said that this class is one of the simplest to master , since the player is practically not exposed to danger, but rather positions himself at a safe distance between himself and the enemy to attack from afar. But this does not mean that it is weak. In fact, it is considered by many users to be the strongest .

If we take as an example the Empress of Light and Plantera bosses , which are enemies whose offensive mechanics consist of launching projectiles that can cover the entire screen, the best strategy is to get away from them to better avoid their attacks and be able to shoot them back . And here you can see the advantage of the Guardian class.

Obviously not everything is perfect and this class has a great disadvantage which is the dependence on ammunition , so if you are in a scenario where there is not much to look for projectiles, then you will have a big problem. For this reason, it is necessary to try to control the place where the combat will be fought.

As for the best weapons for this class , we must highlight the following for different modes

• Normal mode : you can opt for the Hellwing or the Phoenix Blaster .
• Hard mode, at first : you can choose between Megashark and the Daedalus Stormbow .
• Hard mode, after a while : the best options are the Phantasm , the Vortex Beater or the Megashark .

It is correct to say that this kind of combat is totally the opposite of the previous one. In addition to that it is also the one with the greatest degree of difficulty in progress. However, if you are a lover of your character using yoyos, blades, spears, swords, and knives , you will eventually try to switch to this class. But remember that you must have a certain skill, since the confrontations will be melee.

It should be noted that this class has many advantages. One of them is that when you manage to get close to your opponent and are in a safe position, you can inflict serious damage guaranteed . In fact, you can feel like a true warrior, since your success will depend on your brute force even to take down the most dangerous bosses.

Magician class in Terraria

This class within the world of Terraria is quite controversial, as its performance will depend on the use you give it. For example, at the level of solo games, it can be one of the most difficult styles due to the ability to regenerate mana for magic, as it takes time.

But regardless of the player who decides to opt for this class, he will have to learn to manage his mana, if you manage to master it, then you can become a powerful magician , connoisseur of ancient secrets and owner of a scepter or staff of great power.

Summoner class: use of summoning weapons

Summoner class in Terraria

As its name implies, this kind of combat is characterized by invoking allied units to attack the enemies we face. This may sound like fun, but if you don't play strategically, it can take twice as long to take down a Boss, as summoned allies sometimes don't focus on what you want.

To correct this, you will need to whip the enemy you wish to focus for your minions . Therefore, the best strategy is to constantly whip the opponent so that those summoned focus on him and kill him. Also, you contribute a bit of damage by doing this.

Regarding the units that you can summon, we highlight the Sentinel , which is a kind of guardian that remains fixed in its position and will attack for approximately two minutes until it disappears. And then there are the minions, who will be able to move at will while dealing damage and will stick to you even if there is no battle. Also, if you want to build this class, you need the following weapons.

• Normal Mode : Both the Hornet Staff and the Imp Staff are great options.
• Hard Mode, At The Beginning : The Blood Staff and the Queen Spider Staff are very good alternatives.
• Hard Mode, After a Game Time : You must choose between the Stardust Dragon Staff and the Terraprisma .
• In the endgame : in this mode, the last two weapons are still the best option.

To get some defensive and offensive bonuses , as well as other stats, you can equip armor. Here are the best ones you can wear for the Summoner class.

• Normal Mode : Without a doubt, the best choice is the Obsidian Armor .
• Hard mode, at first : The best in this mode is still the Obsidian Armor .
• Hard mode, after a game time : you must choose the Creepy Armor .
• In the endgame : you must equip the Stardust Armor .

Regarding the accessories that you can equip, we recommend that you look at the difficulty in which you are going to play , as the choice will depend on this.
