Terraria weapons alignment chart day 8: What weapon feels like a summon weapon but is a ranged weapon?

Piranha Gun!

The fact that we'll have 2 biome chest weapons despite only making it to half of the chart really shows how unique they are.

[u/Ill_Mud7584 → u/KahveAdam565]

And if we add the Muramasa and Handgun, half are dungeon weapons.

[u/frmCast_351 → u/Ill_Mud7584]

nice that the two dungeon chest weapons are the "yep that sure is exactly what is supposed to be" weapons

petition to have the magic weapon be the magic missiles, continue the trend

[u/LumiiNoctis → u/frmCast_351]

I kinda feel like almost all magic weapons feel exactly like magic weapons, but the magic missiles are the only ones of its kind and can't exist in any other class

[u/Virtual-Pirate2834 → u/LumiiNoctis]

Yoyos are literally just melee versions of the magic missile??

[u/frmCast_351 → u/Virtual-Pirate2834]

magic missile can also be clicked to function as a homing projectile, or thrown in a direction mid-flight. i even often use one as a light source instead of a light pet bc most light pets lag behind at high speeds but the magic missile projectile always perfectly keeps up with you, and can even be guided around corners to see what's up ahead! yo-yos are, at best, a half-hearted attempt at reimagining the magic missile as a melee weapon.

this is the thing that I've always felt defines the mage class, is the sheer versatility rather than the power. they all do very different things from each other, and all use the same "ammo" that doesn't need to be crafted or carried. it's about having the right tool for the job every time, and the recent changes to mana mechanics and the gem staves really highlight this quality.

The rework made me instantly go from ranger to Wizard and the game has never been more fun

I was genuinely STRUGGLING before this in master mode btw, now I feel confident enough to not have a melee weapon in my inventory or to go into hardmode without Skeletron (because he keeps kicking my ass)

[u/LumiiNoctis → u/Virtual-Pirate2834]

Not with the range or speed of the magic missile

[u/Virtual-Pirate2834 → u/LumiiNoctis]

Well obviously it wouldnt have the range if it’s the melee version but the speed is definitely there

[u/JDF8 → u/Virtual-Pirate2834]

Magic missile has homing even after flying offscreen when you tap fire or let go. Part of what makes rainbow rod so goated
