Hey everyone,
I’ve been getting into Terraria PvP recently, and I usually play on my iPhone. I’m curious if anyone here has advice on optimizing loadouts for mobile gameplay. The touch controls can be tricky, so I’m wondering if certain classes or weapons work better on iPhone compared to PC or console.
For example, I’ve been trying ranger setups, but aiming can be hit-or-miss on mobile. Are there any strategies, weapons, or accessories that you find especially effective for PvP on iPhone?
Would love to hear how other mobile players approach this! Let’s share some tips and tricks.
[weapons] In my opinion. I think the “FLYING DRAGON” is the best melee weapon (literally everyone says that but idc) in a loadout due to it usually being a better solar eruption. The CHAIN GUN is also a really good and quick ranger weapon if you can’t aim or hit people consistently. the STELLAR TUNE is an amazing mage weapon becuase it can go through blocks and it’s quick and high damage output. also it is nice to have the SOLAR ERUPTION as my 2nd melee weapon because sometimes i can’t hit people with the flying dragon’s projectiles. also i have no idea if the LAST PRISM works in pvp, but if it does it might be a good retaliation weapon in case you’re getting chased. also i think the STARLIGHT could be a great weapon up-close to kill people quickly if you don’t get killed first. the ROCKET LAUNCHER has work wonders for me in the past becuase i keep hitting my opponents every shot, i guess it’s either easy to aim, or i’m just a god at aiming. and finally, i would go for the PALADIN’S HAMMER for a quick close-range* melee option.
[accessories] i would think that the: hero’s shield, terraspark boots, vortex booster, beserker’s gloves, fire gauntlet, mechanical glove, and finally the celestial shell would be nice main accessories. and for mounts, i think the queen slime mount works great for falling down to the bottom of the map INSANELY QUICKLY. And for armor: either beetle armor (with the beetle shell) or solar flare armor would be the best option for damage reduction or just higher damage. (also, this is only from experience. I have no idea if this will help you with pvp, this is just my personal preference. And i am not a pvp master at all, just mildly good at it.)
Instead, use:
Hero Shield
2 emblems of your choice, if melee use fire guantlet and mechanical glove
celestial shell
Solar/Empress Wings
Tabi
Worm Scarf
Your loadout suggestions are super helpful. I’ll definitely give the Flying Dragon and Stellar Tune a try, especially since they can pierce walls—it sounds perfect for trickier PvP situations. Also, the Rocket Launcher suggestion is interesting; I’ll practice with it and see if it works with my aiming style on mobile.
