Hello there, welcome to my page. I’m Arnoud (Verocan) and I have played Terraria for 1400 hours so far. In all this time I have found that certain challenges made the game incredibly fun for me. On this page you can find these challenges

For more experienced players these class ideas can add a new challenge. The idea is that a smaller selection of Weapons and Armor is available in order to promote the use of less used Items. This in turn, often results in unique gameplay otherwise not experienced. These classes aim to have a high correlation of used weapon types, while not having too severe power loss during any part of the progression. This holds for all sub-expert gameplay, but some classes might really struggle to progress through certain parts of expert+ difficulty. In a lot of cases there is no easy access to an early game weapon. This is intended. Use your wits to outsmart those monsters: Sand and lava hurt! And besides this, enemies do not like to be caged in. Okay enough talk, the rest is up to you!:

Note: This guide is still a work in progress. Some classes still have to be added. The classes that are shown below, however, are working as intended. Some extra notes and flavour text will be added in the future. Also, there are some similarities with the following guide: Guide:Weapon Playthroughs.


Melee Classes

Shortsword Master

Difficulty: Extreme

The Shortsword Master utilizes all Swords which have no range at all. This class has access to the following items:

Pre-Hardmode Armor
Hardmode Armor
Pre-Hardmode Weapons
Hardmode Weapons

Tips: Make sure you stack armor and regeneration. Play this as a tank class with friends backing you up. It might be possible to play this solo, but it is going to be a royal pain in the butt. Also: It is advised to play in The Crimson for the early regeneration from the Crimson armor and also for the Fetid Baghnakhs. The Corruption does, however, provide the Worm Scarf, which is also very good.


Monster Hunter

Difficulty: Hard

The Monster Hunter utilizes all Swords that are dropped directly by monsters or bosses. This class has access to the following items:

Pre-Hardmode Armor
Hardmode Armor
Pre-Hardmode Weapons
Hardmode Weapons

Tips: Make sure to stack up on Bombs, since you probably need to make some monster farming Guide:Arena in order to get the weapons you need. Pre-Hardmode this class is hard, but it gets easier in Hardmode.

The Lancer pierces enemy after enemy, until he has shish kebab. He uses the following items:

Pre-Hardmode Armor
Hardmode Armor
Pre-Hardmode Weapons
Hardmode Weapons

Notes: This class excells at keeping enemies at bay, making for a great tanking class. Its damage is okay, but falls of in the late game.

Difficulty: Hard

The Boomerang class uses the following items:

Pre-Hardmode Armor
Hardmode Armor
Pre-Hardmode Weapons
Hardmode Weapons

Notes: The damage output of this class is quite low. It does feature safety in range and high armor, but might struggle to kill bosses solo.

Notes: This class really has a difficult learning curve. Flails are difficult to use and have a long downtime once thrown, making the user vulnerable to counterattack.


Ranged Classes

Robin Hood

Difficulty: Easy

Robin Hood speaks for itself. It may use the following items:

Pre-Hardmode Armor
Hardmode Armor

Hardmode Weapons

Notes: It is a very balanced class and strong throughout all parts of the game. It is however, quite squishy and therefore benefits having a frontline tank to keep enemies at bay.


Cowboy

Difficulty: Hard

The Cowboy is the fastest gun in the wild west, or at least the one with the worst carpal tunnel. He uses all guns that lack autofire or shoot slow, because he needs to aim. These are the items he can use:

Pre-Hardmode Armor
Hardmode Armor
Pre-Hardmode Weapons
Hardmode Weapons

Notes: The typical first item is The Undertaker or the Musket. Getting these can be quite challenging. The biggest power drop for the cowboy is early Hardmode. Here he is stuck with the Phoenix Blaster until he kills plantera with it. To accomodate for this power drop, the cowboy has access to the frost armor, allowing a bit more tankyness during this stage. When playing this class, you better make every last shot count!
