The Xeno Staff's CRAZY AI Changes 

I assume that Duke Fishron and EoL were killed so much faster because they move really fast, so they move out of range of the UFO's, then it must spend ages returning to you, losing loads of damage

This was a very well-put together video, it's actually amazing and I know you're on the path to greatness, keep it up bro btw congrats on 1k subs!

7:33 my guess as to why the Xenos killed duke faster in the 1.4.4 update vs 1.4 is because the Dark Harvest received a slight rework, where it functionally applies 10 tag damage to mobs afflicted with the Harvest Time buff now. Of course, the Xenos' rework probably played a part too, being able to catch up with Duke a lot better

Just realized you have 1,000 subs, Congrats!

Great video! The editing was very well done and commentary was great as well. Also congrats on 1k! I'm excited to see your future works

Happy 1k Bro! Thank you for the video my man!

Nice video man, glad this was recommended to me. Congrats on 1k, keep on the good work mate! The information was really helpful

I loved the golem and BOC buff video, I felt like no one else talked about those changes at all and you did a great job talking about it

Very well put together video, subscribed

Great video my guy! Informative

Congrats on 1k

Congrats on 1k!

500 subs in 2 DAYS, GREAT WORK DUDE, hope to see more content like this

BRUH 1MONTH AGO YOU HAD 978 SUBS NOW YOU HAVE LIKE A 4K very good channel growth

I am so happy it turns out to be a buff. Xeno staff is my favourite weapon in the game. The only thing that sucks is that it clashes with terraprisma as a post golem weapon

Nice video! I love your microphone quality! Have a great day!

This is it, this is the start! :D

This channel is severely underrated

Congrats on 1k subs

lets go congrats on 1k man keep going terraria is a hard game to gain followers for but your getting there keep it up

This was actually rlly fuckin good, gave a good example on how the update changed alot. Good shit man

Hopefully the ground summons catch on effectivity

this is why xeno staff is my favorite summon weapon

Congratulations to the 1.3 k subs

the big change to the xeno staff ai is that it can now attack while its its "move to enemy" state. previously the xeno staff wouldn't start attacking until it was able to reach the point above the enemy where it wants to hover. After it would get there it would start attacking. in 1.4.4 xeno staff now tries to attack the target based on if it CAN start attacking the target, rather than when its SUPPOSED to start attacking it. you can see what im talking about in the duke fishron fight really easily. as the xenos frequently had that issue against duke where he would teleport or move super fast and the xenos would get stuck chasing him for seconds at a time, dispite him still being within range. duke had moved far enough to trigger a state change of "move to enemy" which disabled their ability to attack until they got back to that point. the teleport from the xeno's is supposed to put them within range. but there was some wierd cooldown for it that made them not want to tp constantly. hence: the chasing

i love the way you say zeno staff

This is awesome. I did a summoner playthrough before 1.4.4, and I remember being really disappointed with the later hardmode weapons. I actually ended up using either the Sanguine Staff or the Twins staff, as they were the only ones that were mobile and consistent enough to deal with the bosses up to EoL. After EoL I used terraprisma, but I will say I think this is one of the reasons the Stardust Dragon staff was so amazing when it first came out. A lot of modded summoner weapons, particularly from calamity, have a much greater emphasis on good AI. It can have such a major impact on the performance of the weapon, and I'm glad to see this being implemented into the base game.

Congrats you made me sub now that i realized the subscribe button is not red. It's now the correct colour.

Nice video! You deserve more subscribers. Even tho the subscribe button is less exciting now.

finnaly a comparation video that is fair !!

Godlike editing

Good video, I like it.

awesome vid!!!

Huh, I didn't notice the AI rework in the patchnotes, good to know For better results of xeno staff's chages you should have been using a different whip but I still think the new version would perform better Golem took longer because of the buffs to the boss. Interesting that it didn't apply to duke fishron, he also got a health increase after all On another note, I'm wondering how big will the next update be. Some crossovers were really small like with core keeper but the one with don't starve brought a lot of new items

1:48 *slow zoom in on the Sanguine Staff*

A bit minor, but for summoning staves, Ruthless is a better modifier than Mythical. This is because summons can't benefit from stats like critical and speed, and knockback is rarely relevant to bosses.

Huh, I've never seen this channel before but I think I'm going to stick around a bit.

Oh, cool * obtains the stardust cell staff *

Subbed 👍

I'd like to say that the best modifier for summons isn't actually mythical, it's ruthless! Most of the buffs from mythical only apply on the summoning process and not the actual summon itself, so since the knockback of summons isn't affected and the damage is, ruthless is the best.

The speed in killing the bosses kind of fluctuates heavily due to some of your attacks missing the target.

I don't really think it matters that you didn't do Moon Lord, since there's a summon that's basically a direct upgrade to this weapon at that point in the game (Stardust Cell Staff) and you can already see how big of a difference this buff made with the Empress Of Light.

Man got like 400 subs in a day Bro boutta get the 💵

Technically Duke And empress aren't post Golem, actually Duke can be fought right on HardMode begining and Empress is actually post Plantera but nobody notice this

You went from under 1k two days ago to 1.56k!

The algorithm seems to take a liking to you! I will subscribe to you, hoping to see more growth!

i have this issue in calamity where i dont have enough buff room so it deletes the summons to make more room for debuffs

Dawg doubled his sub count in 3 days pop off

Great video man, very informative and engaging

If they did the same AI changes with the sanguine staff it would be so broken I would carry it to the pillars

I hit ‘subscribe’ button, not red for me bruv

subbed at 1k

Subscribed man good work hope you make some $$

cool

2:59 hey there, i see you're using the version of the terraria wiki that's on the fandom domain. aside from having a blinding light mode as the only option, fandom is kind of a scummy company that has negatively impacted the wikia and gamepedia platforms, as well implemented disgusting levels of advertising on all their sites. i recommend using the version of the terraria wiki that is available at the wiki gg domain, as it has none of those problems and carries all the same information :)

Kind of hard to draw any conclusions with Dark Harvest interfering, would be interested in results with either no whip or a whip that did not receive any changes in 1.4.4. Effective 10 damage is very significant on Xeno Staff.

Golem took longer in 1.4.4 because it recieved a buff to its health

Terraria will *NEVER* have a "last" update.

amplify the damage with firecracker

ggs you reached 1k now time to help you get 6000 hours of watching time

I think you got a few more than 20 subs....

wtf i just noticed now why is the subscribe button so lifeless

It’s not a bug it’s a feature haha 5:01
