Changes to combat classes in Terraria version 1.4.1 for PC

Another difference that the version of Terraria has for computers compared to the mobile ones, are the changes that were added to the combat classes in update 1.4.1 .

For the Melee class , Cactus Armor now provides a +1 Thorn bonus for defense, while Gladiator Armor provides knockback resistance. The damage of Melee-type weapons has also been adjusted and Dawn has received a boost.

For the Range class , weapon reductions and other modifications were made. The arrows jester can cross 3 kills while the shotgun four guns has narrowed the damage and speed.

For the Mage class , mana costs were changed and the Blade Typhoon was modified , allowing only one to be cast. For the Summoner class , the Pygmy Necklace can be obtained after defeating the Bee Queen . The Obsidian Armor was also modified and now belongs to this class. The Cloak of Cups was added , similar to the Staff of Cups . And when you defeat the Slime Queen , she can leave the Blade Staff for the player.

These are some of the changes that have been made to the combat classes in Terraria for computers and that affect players, so it is important to know this information. In addition, as we mentioned, these modifications are not present in the mobile version at present , but it remains to wait to hear from the developer and know if it plans to update this version.

Changes in version 1.4.2.1 of Terraria for Steam

The most recent version available for Steam of Terraria is 1.4.2.1, which mainly focused on fixing bugs and issues that were reported by players and that affected the experience. However, it also added some new content.

Leaving aside the internal game changes and bug fixes, the name "Esper" was added to the cat NPC and also the name "Ears" to the rabbit NPC . And in essence, that was it, as it is an update focused on polishing the content that already existed instead of introducing much more.

If I switch from one version to another, is the data transferred?

This is a very common question that players ask themselves, especially when they have already started to dedicate time to a version of Terraria. However, you should know that if you decide to buy and play on another platform, you will have to start from scratch , since the data is not transferred.

Therefore, it is extremely important that you think well before choosing the version you are going to play , because if you want to change, you will not be able to resume, so it would be necessary to dedicate time and effort again to advance to where you were.
