30:58 "Morning Wood is preety hard, its always preety hard"

Thankfully Summoner is getting a whole lot more love in the upcoming 1.4.5 update. The new Mushroom Boi minion and Barnacle sentry from the Dead Cells crossover, the new whips including the Stardust, Corrupt, Crimson, Meteorite, and Duke Fishron whips, and summoner Chlorophyte helmet are all going to be so good.

Someone needs to do Summoner only, no summons. Only whips, mounts, and sentry’s.

I did it on Getfixedboi and mechdusa was INSANITY IN ITS PUREST FORM It took me so many attempts, and now I speak on behalf of everybody- WE want you to beat Zenith seed using only summon gear, join the club of like 3 people who are insane enough to do it

Seeing that black recluses one-tap on Legendary was probably the nastiest surprise I've ever gotten trying to farm spider armor in this game.

I quit this challenge personally after losing to the destroyer so many times. Kudos for actually doing it!

19:20 I take offense to the spider staff slander! They're actually really good, IF you bother to put down walls for them. Most people never bother with walls in their arenas, which leaves the spiders slowly flying after things and not really doing damage, which makes them look worse than they really are. Gotta have the walls for them to run on to see their full potential.

Summoner is by far the most fun class but Re-logic never gave it the love it deserved. I remeber when they updated the game and made it an actually playable class (summoning was always a viable class but the amount of summon weapons was VERY limited, and you needed to use magic weapons since whips weren’t a thing yet) I was so happy. With that being said, I still feel like Terraria is a pretty hard on the summoner class but it’s much more balanced now!

I legit popped off when he said "OSOGOF tunnel"

0:02 This is BLASPHEMY!!!! BLASPHEMY I TELL YOU!!!!!

Some summoner/pre-hardmode boss tips for people who might want to try this: Projectile damage doesn't increase in ftw, only contact damage. Choosing to reforge all your accesories to warding makes this entire challenge significantly more doable. Never use more than 2-3 of each pre-hm minion, due to how their i-frames work, you won't gain any dps in a lot of occasions. This doesn't apply to hornets as their projectiles are non piercing. It's still always better to minion mix in pre-hardmode. The sharpening station is very useful, you can just hold out a melee weapon (like a pickaxe) and the minions will still get the armor penetration, this is especially broken with flinxs/vampire frogs. Whips do not count as melee weapons. I take advantage of this when I'm low on health and have to stop whipping. (On some bosses with a lot of enemies on the screen like the wall it's actually better to not whip at all and let the minions do the damage, this also allows you to focus more on surviving. This is invalidated by hardmode whips as they deal a lot of damage compared to just 12 armor penetration.) A long platform is enough for slime/eye, fight brain on the surface and make a very long platform that extends to the entire crimson for first phase, this makes it almost impossible to get hit by anything unless you look away or something. For second phase you just need a solid block platform (which is still considered crimson) above you for when it switches the gravity and hook up to your main platform every time it moves. The slime mount makes queen bee almost free. Make your arena so every jump with the mount lands you perfectly on another platform and do this for 3-4 rows. Jump only when she dashes and drop when you're at the top. You can dodge stingers enough to not die by just moving left/right without stopping. Imps are good in this fight as she moves very quick. Skeletron isn't really special. If you're struggling to survive, just don't whip at all and hold out a melee weapon for the whole night. You have enough damage. You may need to do a lot of micro movement for the second phase, the shield of cthulhu is absolutely not recommended. The wall, use 3 frogs, 1 flinx and 2-3 imps. Make the minions focus on the top eye, this allows the frogs to constantly jump on both the eye and the mouth and deal crazy damage. Frogs have pretty good range so you don't even need the wall on the screen. As expected, don't whip at all and hold your pickaxe. Whipping would be both dangerous and make your minions focus on something else, which greatly reduces your dps. You only need to whip when the wall starts getting really fast, frogs or flinxs won't be able to catch up here, so it's better to summon hornets and imps for the last tug.

CJ: "summoner is easily the best class in terraria" also CJ: *immediately slanders his first summon weapon* lol

NOWAY THIS WAS LITERALLY JUST IN TIME WHEN MY FOOD WAS FINISHED

“The morning wood is really hard I always struggle to take care of it”

Hello CJ! Good job doing this, I couldn’t do summoner if you held me at gunpoint the whole way. This is a real request this time, try Magic guns only on Calamity. It is a little hard, but really fun. At least think about it. Thanks, hope you reach 100K

In my head during the first Plantera fight was literally “wow he really should’ve made an OSOGOF Tunnel, rookie mistake” and then 20 seconds later…

33:44 this was patched out recently and you can only do it now post golem fight

"Bruh, my line broke on a Hellstone crate!! *Screeech*" I felt that in my soul

Definitely. I've seen a person do it live on Twitch, in HC as well. Small Terraria Streamer. Took him many, many, MANY attempts, I've been watching his streams for like two months but he finally did it. Oh, he also went for daytime empress kill after Fishron before even attempting to beat the game (which is where the most runs died) which he could've done multiple times over. But he eventually did it: summoner only, hardcore, legendary difficulty, with daylight empress killed just for style points. Respect. I don't remember his name though, but it was a captivating to watch. Edit: On second thought it might've been master mode, but it's still extremely impressive all things considered. I'd much rather do your challenge than his!

If there's one thing I learned it's that a thorns potion would've helped alot for King Slime and Skeletron

Take a shot every time bro says "funnel"? I'm sold

I used to be Melee at some time in legendary mode, but it turns out, I just got bored with it and switched to summoner, and that's where my summoner playthrough begins, I'm now fighting Moon Lord with the Terraprisma in my hands, I'll never forget the days that I literally spent on in that world if I defeated Moon Lord

Now I know that you meant by you'd show of summoner's might in the next playthrough. Nice work on showing off just how great summoner can be bro!

I kind of want to see a Summoner run where you can only have one of each summon on the field. So if you had four summon slots, you couldn't just summon four imps, but you could summon an imp, a vampire frog, a flinx, and Abigail. It would be a great way to showcase some of the weirder, less used summons. Plus the screen would be complete chaos, which is always fun

I think the only actual problems with summoner is its slow start and its middling option variety - and even then, the latter is just shorthand for saying it's designed around quality over quantity.

Yes, it is hard, but it's my favorite class by far, glad you made it to the end

I wish I thought of that dart trap strat during my GFB summoner playthrough. Would've saved me a looot of trouble.

I’ve always wanted a video on a hardcore or legendary summoner build, thank you man 😭🙏

video came out ready for my stimming time ‼️

Pro tip for the legendary golem fight. You can set your home right outside the golem room or use a rod of discord to get out. Ideally you want a large arena in the jungle outside of the boss room. you can also use illuminant coating on background walls to turn it into a shadow box fight. This is the strategy I used and posted to the discord for fighting golem on Legendary Get Fixed Boi.

ok now do it mediumcore

I can’t believe so many people think summoner is actually the weakest class in the game. The dmg potential is just insane, summons are a big QoL feature while you are just doing smth in the world and play style is actually interesting. From my personal experience it’s the strongest class in pre boss, pre wall, early hardmode, post plantera stages of the game (aka like 60-70% of the game, lmao) Super convenient gameplay, a ton of dmg and very rewarding risk/reward gameplay, where you can actually try getting closer to the boss, stack multiple whips and this risk will actually result in insane dmg boost. This class is my best choice.

I have only watched the intro so far and I highly appreciate the love for us summoners

Props for using the betsy's wings. I mentioned that in a previous video I think. Hover is super good. I wish more wings had them. I tend to use the starboard with hover even all the way through Calamitas in Calamity.

I've got to shower off the gamer gunk before watching this, I am so sorry

Tip: you can fight skeletron prime at the ocean with a water walking potion or terraspark boots without the need of making an arena.

6:40 you got so lucky, i gave up after 30 blood moon fishing enemies and getting 6 blood rain bows

I hope you canr reach 100k subs soon! You deserve it with all the work and pain you put into these videos for us

I played calamity's malice mode on master difficulty and using summoner only. it was my second experience using calamity mod. It was hellish and gruesome. I had QoL mods like free potions and boss summons to save time and instant platforms for fast arenas and it still took me over 200 hours. I would like to suggest another calamity video, this time infernum summoner only. I've yet to play infernum after it fully came out and I don't have the time to play such a time consuming run these days. Love the content!

Funny enough, I was doing a FTW summoner playthrough with my friend on ps4, safe to say that we didn’t get past Plantera bc of how bad controllers are on terraria. Kudos to you though, you’re the goat!

omg thank you for this video im currently doing this challenge this has helped alot

Legendary mode is really fun to watch. I hope this becomes a trend

Just another CJ bangin classic

Great video! Ur one of my fav terraria youtubers! Keep up the videos!

The Calamity soundtrack at the background 🫡🫡

"Then I teleported home because I was terrified of a spore bat" Me: Same. But on normal mode.

Best terraria youtuber uploads agian!

This is so well done.

I remember doing this same challenge, but I made it so that I started in hardmode 😬 I killed some bosses but then the evil spread into my home and I gave up. Maybe that'd be a good next challenge.

The Pokémon music in the background sold me love you man

Congrats on completing this INSANE challenge man! You deserve a 100k sub from (and you got my sub for this as well :D) NOW DO IT IN HARDCORE MODE.

Best part was the fact you made an osogof tunnel, and even called it by its name. Waffle would be proud.

His live reaction had me dying

Summoner class is olso my favorite class.

I love your content so much more than other Terraria youtubers because you actually build houses for your challenges instead of just using instahouses. Great video!

You used to be able to spam cast some sentries like the Ballista staff for fast massive piercing damage since it would fire instantly when summoned (plus mana potions don't nerf your summon damage). It used to be my go to before they removed the instant fire and added whips.

You know what would be cool? If Terraria had a thing where you could choose your class when you join a world, and get the first weapons that fits every class

For Summoners it's worth getting the Berserker's Gauntlet since you get 8 extra defense at basically zero cost.

I did this on the zenith seed about a month ago and it wasnt that bad. Summoner is not nearly as weak as people think it is.

And here I thought playing normally on expert was already hard enough 😭 Great video, very entertaining and cool showcase of summoner skills!

Pirate staff is a top 5 weapon in taking out golem and its pre mech also remember to use ale/sake for speedy whips in daytime eol

question: would it help if you summon different minions that apply different debuffs (fire, venom etc) or would that not really help much in legendary mode due to the amount of health mobs and bosses have?

I would like to see something like this but without whips because I remember 1.3 summoner playthroughs where people just had to run around and scream.

6:48 warding is better than menacing even late game because of gow much survivability it gives late game. RU-vidr sorbecaffe has a great video detailing this Edit:spelling Edit 2: usually better but weather it's funner or not is all up to you.

fun fact, the deadly sphere staff which is obtained from the solar eclipse, is an INCREDIBLE summon which is use until i get the stardust dragon

summoner, for me is favourite because it has minions and whips with tag damage. i was confued when you said that summoner is the best because now everybody likes meele.

I actually remember doing this challenge for my first FTW playthrough, it was pretty fun. Summoner still wasn't really good but the enemies being "easier" to stunlock/keep away did help mentally (although ranger and mage can just kill them without any issue and melee can tank more hits but fuck summoner right)

I tried a summoner-playthrough once, Blade Staff-only (no whips). For pre-hardmode, I took the weapon from a different word and sure enough, pre-hardmode was easy. The biggest problem was Golem, because of the limited space. Even with stronger summons AND whips, I've barely managed to defeat it.

OSOGOF tunnel mentioned!

Just saw your bow only blood moon. You're nuts!

Summoner is one of if not the highest damaging class that's why it's a glass Canon

You can actuate the lizard temple blocks in older versions of Terraria, hence the "2 years ago" on the post you pulled up.

"morning wood is hard" so real dude

summoner is by far the best class (except maybe melee), as long as you use one tip: whip stacking. whip stacking is absolutely broken. blade staff with snapthorn, cold snap and durendal is the best dps pre-plantera, and if you whip stack with firecracker and stardust dragon staff it can almost deal as much dps as the zenith pre-moonlord

I did it by my self but after that i had problem with sleeping for the next week mad respect

I have a question.. how do you change your weapons to your dye color?

i didnt even know summoner is the hardest class to play, i thought it was ranged cuz the weapons kinna look underwhelming. ended up learning that the hard way tho, im stuck at mechanical bosses now and omw to switch to melee lol

hell yea! also i cant belive you got to 81 k already!!!!

drinking game, take a shot every time cj says funnel

I have a feeling that Mechdusa would give most people a mental breakdown, thank god I'm not a masochist, because I'm not playing that goddamn mode again 🫠

I love how OSOGOF tunnels have become a legit term in the community.

We all struggled with the morning wood I know your struggle bro

I actually completed this exact same thing couple months back. It took me 500 hours (I’m really bad, and I have no life)

glad im not the only one who has trouble with mourning wood

cj the deathbot pleases us with his brand new video!!

Damn he beat me too it Congrats on this challenge 🧡

OSOGOF tunnel mentioned, whattheduck is having fun in the game

Funnily enough, my first playthrough of terraria where I committed to summoner from start to finish was also a master mode FtW seed, the only difference was I was doing it in multiplayer with one of my buddies

summoner really is busted, however you really need to switch out wings and boots for other accessories. and rely on mounted combat late game. otherwise its really not very good.

“So i kill a bunch more Morning Woods” lol

If you zoom in the transparent map, you can get it 1 to 1 with the actual game, so it's basically just night vision. Did you know there are hotkeys for zooming it in and changing it's transparency?

Alot of my friends can not STAND summoner and it abosulety blows my mind. Summoner is the class for skilled players since it has the highest risk vs reward

Summoner in for the worthy gets an amazing buff on for the worthy in the form of the buffed tims hat.

Yo CJ amazing video, just wondering why your summons look like a different colour sometimes.

Summoner is just playing just shapes and beats, *but with nature*

great music choice

For me as a main summoner all classes are so good and fun specially the mage but the summoner is so fuc**n fun to play with i tried all the classes on expert mode and noe i am playing ranger master mode and it is so fun bro i love this game so much
