I remember playing melee in Calamity and when I finally crafted the Zenith it was super underwhelming. It did worse than basically all of my current weapons and I crafted it on-tier. Sad
Gonna be honest, the Fractured Ark is my favourite weapon in Terraria, period. I much prefer it over it's successors, as I just find the Biome Blade to start AWESOME but then it gets progressively less integrated and less diverse.
I really like the elemental swords and wish there was a selector for which elemental power you wanted to use instead of cycling through them all, but I still love the AotC
idk what it is about the ark of the cosmos but it just does not feel better than the galaxia, i literally had to made another galaxia because i just felt the cosmos was very underwelming, i thought it was gunna keep the same abilities as the galaxia, not lose all of them
@@adazeki still is pretty good for providence, every sword after is a lot better though which sucks because the calamity devs made it a useless post yharon boss weapon
Complicated crafting, yes But the best melee weapon is the Iridescent Excalibur. Tho granted that requires defeating the Exo Bosses and unless you you add more mods for more content or Infernum mode, Ark of the Cosmos is likely the weapon youll use as melee to defeat Exo
Personally, Galaxia is better because you can switch between mods and has stacking damage. If you are using some specific modes of Galaxia you notice its extremely op and Ark of the Cosmos hits less.
The only times when the line is “outclassed” is pre DOG and pre mech, you could maybe argue pre golem, but galaxia, fractured ark, the entire biome blade line, and ark of the cosmos are all very good at their respective points in the game
ngl, ive never been a fan of galaxia getting mixed with aote, taking away the options a player can choose from to approach a given enemy just feels deflating, like things are getting more and more autopilot-y rather than giving the player more meaningful choices to make
