Guide:Class setups
Terraria has no formal player class or leveling system. However, weapons can be grouped into four distinct categories based on their damage type – melee, ranged, magic, and summoner. Each class has its strengths and weaknesses and has a wide variety of weapons to choose from.
- Melee
The melee class sports high defense and decent crowd control, but many melee weapons have a short attack range, and those that are viable at a distance tend to do lower damage than their close-range counterparts. This encourages melee users to use their defense to tank hits while attacking with their stronger close-ranged weapons. Melee weapons include swords, spears, and yoyos.
- Ranged
Rangers are able to attack from a distance, doing high single-target, piercing, or splash damage. They utilize weapons like bows and guns, as well as thrown objects. Ranged users must constantly acquire ammunition, unless using the Endless Quiver or Endless Musket Pouch or using a ranged weapon that doesn't require ammunition such as the Toxikarp.
- Magic
Mages are fragile but highly varied in attack style, often utilizing special mechanics such as homing, lifesteal, and area-of-effect damage. They are held back by reliance on mana, which regenerates very slowly unless the Mana Regeneration buff is in effect. Magic users can often sustain their mana using Mana Stars when fighting many enemies at once, but must craft or purchase mana potions if they wish to recover mana instantly during boss fights. Most pre-Plantera magic weapons are specialized for crowd control, with weaker single-target damage than other classes.
- Summoner
Summoners deal most of their damage using autonomous minions and/or sentries, and their attacks usually have excellent accuracy. However, most summoning armor sets have low defense in exchange for their high damage potential. Whips(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) are primary weapons that focus summons and increase their damage. While many players do challenges where only summon damage is allowed (Whips, Summon weapons and Mounts), the summoning class was balanced around the idea of the player also using the strongest normal weapon available to them in addition to minions and whips. [1] Summoners can gain synergistic benefits from hybridizing with other classes:
- Melee provides significantly higher defense when using melee armor pieces on hybrid sets. Melee speed also improves the speed of whips, and summons gain armor penetration as long as a Sharpened buff is active while a melee weapon is held.
- Ranged allows summoners to attack from far greater distances than they can reach with whips, and ranged weapons tend to be strong in general.
- Magic provides a variety of long-ranged attacks, and whips can be used while waiting for mana to regenerate.
- Whips cause minions to switch targets to whichever enemy was last struck, which can be undesirable when fighting bosses that spawn smaller enemies. In these cases, it's often ideal to manually set one's minions to target the boss, and use any weapon except whips.
Each class gains more complex abilities as the game progresses, enabling more strategic variety in combat. It is advised for players to try out every weapon they find to help determine what works best for them. It is also recommended to use buff potions and healing potions to increase efficiency and survivability in combat (especially during events and boss fights).
In general, it is recommended to focus on gear that benefits one class. Equipment slots are limited, and many armors and accessories only benefit a specific class, especially later into the game. Summoners are an exception to this rule, since summons can deal damage alongside melee/ranged/magic weapons, so summoning gear will always provide a benefit as long as summons are being used. All classes can use at least two minions at all times even without using summoning gear (by using a Bewitching Table), so it's recommended to always utilize these free slots regardless of primary class.
Note that while it's beneficial to only focus on one class between melee/ranged/magic at a time, there is little benefit to specializing in one class over the course of an entire playthrough, and one should strongly consider switching classes if they happen to obtain a powerful weapon from a different class.
Even when not specifically using a hybrid set, backup weapons from another class can be helpful should the situation require a different weapon. For example, Giant Cursed Skulls might pose a threat to non-summoners, but a whip such as Durendal can kill them easily even without summon damage boosts.
Pre-bosses
Prior to encountering a boss, set bonuses from wooden and ore armor will almost exclusively provide additional defense, and accessories will not discriminate by weapon type when giving bonuses. When combined with the general scarcity of weapons and the need to survive, there is little point to sticking to a "class" this early on. For these reasons, players are recommended to make use of whatever they can get their hands on. Players can acquire a gun or magic weapon early on by smashing one of the Corruption Orbs (in Corruption worlds) or the Crimson Hearts (in Crimson worlds).

Mages must increase their mana capacity through the use of Mana Crystals before magic weapons become viable. The Magic Hat and Wizard Hat will provide a set bonus when used in conjunction with any robe. Jungle armor and Ancient Cobalt armor can be used interchangeably, with each piece providing the same benefits, and the set bonus being given even when a mix of the 2 armors is used. Depending on the player's skill level, the Demon Scythe can technically be obtained at any point in the game, as Demons will always naturally spawn in the Underworld.

Pre-Wall of Flesh
Once you start defeating the first bosses new options become available. In addition, you should have enough mana to use magic weapons. However, the armors still only give small bonuses, so you can still safely mix class styles without a significant loss of damage.
On Old-gen console, dedicated summoners are still rather weak at this point, although their summoning items can be used by any class.
On Desktop, Console, and Mobile, with the changes to Obsidian armor(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and the addition of Spinal Tap(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), summoners become much more powerful at this point than in previous versions of the game.

Bee armor is preferable if you are planning to use your minions more often and would like to play a more passive role focusing on dodging more than attacking yourself, but Obsidian armor (on Desktop, Console, and Mobile) trades 1 of your minions for +7% additional summon damage, +30% whip range, and +15% speed.

Pre-mechanical bosses
At this point in time, it becomes almost mandatory to pick a specific class. Many accessories will only benefit a certain class, and armor sets start to benefit only certain types of damage. However, summoner hybridization remains not only viable, but extremely potent due to the availability of the powerful Sanguine Staff.
At this point, you may also want to start working on getting good modifiers for your equipment.

For the mechanical bosses you have a choice between two whip-summon combinations. The Firecracker pairs well with the Sanguine Staff due to its high base damage getting increased with the Firecracker's debuff that increases summon damage by 2.75×. The Blade Staff pairs well with whip stacking the Cool Whip, Durendal (after one mechanical boss), Spinal Tap, and Snapthorn to the Blade Staff's low damage highly benefiting from the tag damage that the mentioned whips inflict.

Pre-Plantera
This is the point where a mixed class becomes rather weak compared to a single class, mainly due to there being separate armor sets for each class. You can of course still play a mixed class, though it is recommended to have a backup armor set (e.g. in the vanity slots) so you can switch quickly for some additional damage or defense. (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Hallowed armor may be preferred for extra survivability. At this point buffs are extremely useful for bosses and almost necessary in Master Mode.

For Plantera the same whip-summon combinations apply but most summoners replace the Sanguine Staff with the Optic Staff after defeating The Twins.
The Tavernkeep's armors provide minion and sentry bonuses while also providing significant melee, ranged, and magic bonuses. Hybridization is required to bring out their full potential. When using the Blade Staff, be sure to use Durendal, Snapthorn, Spinal Tap, and Flask of Ichor for best efficiency.

With the Hardmode Dungeon and the Pumpkin Moon now available, players have access to a variety of new equipment. Furthermore, any Biome Keys you have obtained are now usable. You could attempt to skip this stage by killing the Empress of Light or summoning the Frost Moon, but most players won't be able to defeat either of them until they've progressed a bit further.

For Moon Lord and endgame there are once again two whip-summon combinations. The Stardust Dragon Staff benefits greatly from the Firecracker due to its high base damage and Firecracker multiplying it. But due to the Firecracker's range, it requires you to get close to enemies and bosses. The Terraprisma benefits from the Kaleidoscope due to its low damage benefitting from the high tag damage from the Kaleidoscope. But due to the obtainability of the summon, it requires you to fight the Empress of Light during daytime which is an insta-kill boss. Note that a Dark Harvest should be used as a secondary whip in both combinations to provide a whip speed buff for the primary whip.

Some equipment sets are not meant for fighting, but for other activities, such as fishing, building and exploring. All equipment is optional and makes it easier to perform the task, but otherwise simply use what is at hand.
The Mechanic NPC unlocks wiring, selling the basic tools.

Summoner gear might prove useful to defend against enemies while fishing. A Shield of Cthulhu can be used without interrupting fishing. If you found a Lavaproof Fishing Hook, you don't need to use the Hotline Fishing Hook anymore. The Inner Tube and Mollusk Whistle only provide a fishing bonus while in water, and do not stack with one another. For this reason, the Mollusk Whistle may be preferable due to saving an accessory slot.

Footnotes
- ↑ On the Desktop version, Console version, and Mobile version, while it's technically possible to obtain Water Bolt before defeating Skeletron, it can be extremely dangerous. A hoik would be required to reach it in time before getting blocked by the Dungeon Guardian. A Recall Potion could then be used to retreat before dying.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Interchangeable with Ancient Cobalt armor.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Interchangeable with Jungle armor.
- ↑ (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The post-EoW counterpart, Shadow armor, can be obtained through Shimmer Transmutation before defeating it, if the player has already found Shimmer. However, there is no difference between each, apart from their appearance.
- ↑ (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Despite being a pre-Hardmode sword, it can still be reliable in many early Hardmode scenarios, especially if paired with a Power Glove.
- ↑ For an in-depth guide on how to obtain the Terra Blade, see Guide:Crafting a Terra Blade.
- ↑ For an in-depth guide on how to obtain the Terra Blade, see Guide:Crafting a Terra Blade.
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 8.2 Due to its high stats, this item can be mixed with other armors.
- ↑ (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Due to its lower stats, it should only be used to stack the bonuses of the glove above.
- ↑ While the Terraprisma is an incredibly powerful weapon, it is also extraordinarily difficult to obtain. It requires you to defeat the Empress of Light during the daytime which is able to kill the player in one hit regardless of equipment that provide defense or dodging effects such as Holy Protection. For strategies on how to fight the enraged Empress of Light, see Guide:Obtaining a Terraprisma.
- ↑ The head and leg slots of Valhalla Knight armor can be swapped for pieces that provide minion capacity, while still retaining the breastplate's high health regeneration.
