Understanding Mechanical Bosses in Terraria
Top Pre-Hardmode Armour for Terraria Mechanical Bosses
To take on the mechanical menaces of Hardmode in Terraria, you’ll want the best armour available before defeating your first mechanical boss. Here are the top pre-Hardmode sets to help you dominate these metal monstrosities!
Adamantite or Titanium
For melee players, the adamantite mask, frost breastplate, and mythril greaves combo is ideal. This mixed set provides massive defence and damage boosts to help you slice through mechanical foes. If you prefer full sets, the adamantite armour set is also an excellent choice with its high stats and melee buffs. Titanium armour is a great alternative too, with similar benefits.
Necro Armour
For rangers, the necro armour set is a must-have. This morbid gear increases ranged damage and critical strike chance, while reducing ammo usage. Its set bonus even has a chance to apply the ‘Putrid Stench’ debuff to poison your targets.
Frost Armour
Magic users should opt for the frost armour set. This icy ensemble increases your maximum mana, reduces mana usage, and boosts magic damage - perfect for pummeling enemies with spells! Its frostburn debuff will also chip away at your foes’ health.
Bee Armour
Summoners should sport the bee armour set. This hive-themed harness boosts your maximum number of sentries and their damage. Its ‘Honey Comb’ set bonus will also unleash angry bees to chase down and sting your foes!
With the proper armour equipped, you’ll buzz through your first mechanical boss encounter. Then you can craft one of the powerful post-mechanical sets to continue your Hardmode domination! Stay nimble, watch those lasers, and keep your buffs active - you’ve got this!
Recommended Hardmode Armour Sets for Mechanical Bosses
The Terraria’s Hardmode mechanical bosses are no joke, but with the right armour and strategy, you’ll dominate them in no time! Two of the best armour sets for taking on these metal menaces are Adamantite / Titanium and Palladium / Orichalcum.
Adamantite / Titanium Armour
This sturdy set provides a nice balance of offence and defence. The melee helm increases your melee damage and speed, perfect for dishing out pain with a melee weapon like the Night’s Edge. The ranged helm gives you more ranged critical strike chance and damage, ideal if you prefer bows or guns. And the magic helm boosts your magic damage and critical strike chance - great for spellcasters! No matter which helm you choose, the full set gives you extra defence and melee knockback.
Palladium / Orichalcum Armour
Want to really ramp up your damage per second (DPS)? Go for Palladium or Orichalcum! Both of these sets provide a whopping damage and critical strike chance buff when you deal damage. The more you hit your foes, the higher the buff stacks, allowing you to pummelled them into scrap metal. The melee set is perfect for melee players, while the magic set boosts magic damage and mana usage. With these armour sets, you’ll take down the mechanical menaces before they know what hit them!
Using powerful weapons like the Onyx Blaster, Daedalus Stormbow, and normal healing potions in conjunction with these armour sets is a sure-fire strategy for success against the mechanical bosses.
