PvP Update v1.1.6 | Minor Balance update

A large amount of minor changes have been pushed

  • Keybrand
    Damage increased from 70 → 85, to reflect the 1.4 buff
  • Clockwork Assault Rifle
    Damage decreased from 77 → 74 due to general dominance with little investment
  • Possessed Hatchet
    Damage decreased from 78 → 76, Max Damage decreased from 122 → 116 due to general dominance with little investment
  • Ghastly Glaive
    Velocity reworked, should be similar in viable range
    Damage nerfed from 109 → 100, Max Damage decreased from 165 → 150
  • Tome of Infinite Wisdom
    Damage reworked, performance slightly reduced specifically on left click
  • Crystal Assassin Armor
    Hood defense reduced from 28 → 25, Shirt defense reduced from 26 → 25
    Specifically while equipping destroyer emblem, this set would outperform 99% of the kits in nearly every single aspect, as such its been pushed into a glass cannon role.
  • Titanium Leggings
    Defense reduced from 32 → 31
  • Hallowed Greaves
    Damage buffed by 2%, as the total armor set is not very viable outside of surprise tactics
  • Flying Dragon
    Projectile damage nerfed from 122% → 108%, Base damage nerfed from 58 → 56
    the ability to camp with this weapon with little punishment was obscene and very toxic to play against, so a drastic reduction in the projectiles capabilities was necessary.
  • Nail Gun
    Velocity and projectile modification reverted to try and fix a velocity bug. Will test this weapon more thoroughly should it be fixed.

What’s next?

  • Multiple tournaments of my creation are planned, but will likely be delayed until spring break
  • Duel is planned to receive more support soon (hopefully)
  • The FFA arena has some interesting changes planned… stay tuned for more information soon!
  • Solorion has joined the creative team! Maybe we’ll consider visually updating some old duels?

A second of its kind! I’m a few days late by now, but the least I can do to celebrate it is… well, what happened up to now with it.

Yeah I didnt have reason to buff it, there’s enough swords in play but I didn’t realize it didn’t get buffed to vanilla stats with 1.4 change lmao. THat much I can do, presuming it didn’t make the sword suddenly meta centralizing or something

Funnily enough, you’d unironically be better off using Shroomite Digging Claw for PvP.

How viable is the 3rd most used PvE weapon, the one, the only, Laser Drill?

Cough if I may offer my expert opinion, I believe that those images you speak of are, in fact, screenshots, as seen when hovering over the image with the cursor.

In theory, you could OHK someone with Laser Drill, since its damage is uncapped. But its base is a somewhat low 35, and after my experience with using Laser Drill as a weapon in Zombies (the drill tip was a bit iffy on hitting enemies), I wouldn’t count on it.

in theory laser drill would be really good with orichalcum armor, but shroomite digging claw would be better with titanium

Edit: Normally I’m a summoner, but when it comes to pvp, I’m more of a ‘Mechanic,’ so I’m trying to make the best vanilla pvp, DG pvp, and Calamity Mod pvp tool-only loadout.

Well, at the point, why not just use Keybrand? It’s not classified as a tool, but… y’know, it’s a key. That’s a tool, right? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
