what class should you play in Terraria Calamity?? (2023) 

Calamity isn't even a mod, it's its own game at this point

My first time finishing Calamity and it’s boss rush (Abyss super boss aside) was as a mage, would absolutely recommend giving it a shot for some of screen nuke capabilities you get as you go.

New to calamity but familiar to vanilla. Started last month and completed the game 4 times with each main class (trying out true melee and classless next), but out of all the classes, summoner was simply goated. I was scared to try summoner due to the fact that the class was somewhat underwhelming in vanilla. Hence, why I chose the others above summoner. There are so many things I have to say, albeit short and simple for those who want to know what summoner feels like as someone who wants to get into the class: 1. Yes. You will be squishy throughout any part of the game regardless of defense + modifiers. 2. The class really focuses on dealing passive damage. As a result, it’s basically an assessment for your dodging skills and how familiar you are with distancing and Iframes. 3. The summoner progression in Calamity is significantly smoother compared to its vanilla counterpart. 4. Downloading the unofficial calamity whips mod is a must. Not mandatory, but highly recommended for those who want a much more seamless progression (if you don’t want to mald against bosses) 5. You’ll need A LOT of utility buffs. I recommend downloading mods such as Fargo’s mutant and Alchemist Lite. It really helps a ton in your play through (everyone probably knows this by now) 6. Your active summons MATTER. Don’t just spam one summon (unless you have the endgame ones) mix and match to apply all sorts of debuffs (or high atk speeds) on enemies. 7. It’s okay to run and feel like a pussy. You may feel guilty, but that’s what your supposed to do. Let your homies deal the damage for you. 8. Calamity summoner equipment is crucial. 9. Wow, you just melt everything post moon lord what the fuck 9.1. Wow, pre DOG is a fucking walk in the park. 9.2. Wow, DoG just died to king of constellations and a bunch of poltergeists. 10. Enjoy. This class isn’t for anyone. But imo, summoner is simply amazing. Key word: AMAZING. You’ll feel pretty cool and perform quite well against ANY opponent, spesh bosses.

ranger should be played as a critical hit build, it has so many accessories dedicated to critical strikes.

my first ever calamity run was ranger. Since then, my favourite class. Just easy to play, and (atleast to me) helps me to focus more on dodging.

I love ranger solely for the fact that your defeating all of these godlike beings and mythical creatures not with magic or a legendary sword or any of that shit nah you shoot them with a fucking GUN

For any new summoners, keep in mind that base calamity lacks whips past KScope. I suggest getting the Calamity Whips addon to give yourself more self progression

When I first played Calamity, I just used whatever weapon did the most damage. I was only actually able to do this because I only had Calamity installed, and so I was inadvertently ignoring all the modded bosses… so now I know to have boss checklist, so that I’m not losing 70% of the gameplay.

My personal favourite class is summoner, mainly because I find myself on the logistics side of stuff, like automation and stuff, and when I play any form of game, I go for the automatic stuff. Calamity with the addition of Infinite Minions mod, I find myself at my peak fun time. GET DAT BOI! I said that to the king slime with an ARMY of finches, and guess what happened, he ceased to exist. Challenge for you: Do a normal summoner playthrough, no cheats no nothing, but do another summoner playthrough, but with the Infinite Minions mod and see the time differ between the two and which one is more fun.

super high quality video for the amount of subs you have even as a person who has played all of the classes i still watched it to hear what you had to say

Good news for ranger: they got a lot of love in bountiful harvest update and are really fun to play now

Galaxus pheonix mode I'd too broken. Like literally broken. The blades spun as fast as your frame rate allows so if you have a good PC the dps can reach the billions

why he do my boy the ranger like this bro

Came across the video and was surprised to see how low your subscriber number is for how good your content is. Was very enjoyable to watch

I've beaten them all, everyway any way you can think of and tbh. The most overpowered in my opinion was definitely rogue or mage but 100% the most fun was summoner. Trying to fight all the bosses with just summoner weapons was def a challenge in the beginning of infernum but tbh it was a a blast. If ur looking to have fun and you already know the bosses and how each of their attack patterns work. Definitely go summoner. If you don't know how each of them work and are new. Go melee

Bro didn't mention rogue right after moonlord. Just buy celestial reaper and obliterate everything up until D.O.G

“Badland chugs on the mana potions” 💀💀💀

I play rogue by constantly attacking until the boss is too far away or invincible, then I build up stealth.

all of these classes are mid, sex class is the best imo. its really good against supreme calamitas and brimstone elemental too.

incredible video bro, instant sub ❤

Hey! since u mentioned the mana sickness thing, umm im playing a master death mode mage world run, and i found a "bug" with fargos mod and the astral injection potion, so the astral injection gives u shit tone of mana regen (for 5 secs) but in return gives u mana sickness and deals damage to u, but with the unlimited potions, its made so that there is no mana sickness, no damage, just infinite mana for ever basicly, rendering the chaos stone and the mana flower useless, would u use this glitch in a mage playthrough or do u think its too op or bug abuse? i really cant decide if this is balaced or not so i need to know if ud use it or not, cuz ur my fav calamity utuber and if ud use it, then id use it

Im currently playing for the first time and I'm playing mage and so far nuking my enemies then just shooting them with the SCHP which is just a gun is neat

Great job man, this was really enjoyable to watch. ❤

So happy my favorite RU-vidr posted again!! GREAT VIDEO !

You're hilarious, its a crime that you only have 700 subs.

Yo dope vid really funny and enjoyable keep it up

Yo the stealth mechanic can i also dissapear like my father did, to just be invisible and fuck up enemy ai that they will try to find you until they find you or you launch a nuclear launch codes on their location

I did my rough master run through lately personally thought it was hella boring until very very late game maybe even till post moon lord but not bad items. Don’t take this to offense though because I am someone who struggled to cryogen

when my little baby self first did calamity, i didnt know there was a wiki, what classes were, or how to correctly class yourself, i just used whatever did the most damage.

I love summoner because the kids i summon dont run away

take menacing on everything; when I die, I cry

I really needed someone to tell me which class should I use even though I have cleared the game with every single one. Dont know why, I just needed a different opinion. Anyways if someone wants a tierlist from someone who played the game with every single class and did all of the bosses with them, here is my opinion: 1.Rogue - Just a very fun overall class, I love the stealth mechanic because it lets me focus on dodging but I can also drop a nuke on my enemies. 2. Mage - You like seeing big numbers on your screen while wacky and goofy stuff is happening on your screen? This class is for you then! 3. Summoner - My favorite class in vanilla since 1.4, sadly in Calamity it isnt as good, sure I can no hit every single boss before moon lord but try fighting all of the endgame bosses while having defense smaller than your math grades. 4. Melee - Sure it absolutely destroys everything on your screen before you even notice but its not very fun to use, its just boring old melee, if you want to have an easy time while sleeping from boredom pick this thing. 5. Ranger - Never liked this class, Calamity or normal Terraria its just boring, sure if you have a feel that punching the shit out of yharon wont work too well for you well then you can just hide and shoot your little bullets while I laugh at you. If you felt insulted by the last one - be warned, I would really do that to you if I could. Okay remember this is just my opinion, just use a rng and pick a class that way, after you played with every single class you will be able to tell which one was the best for you. You can reply telling me if this helped, if you feel insulted by the last one - I would still do that to you, I dont care, or if you wanna play with me, then I propably wont play with you, just saying, feel free to try though, I still dont see a reason why you would wanna play with me but ok? Yeah Im just bored at this point idk what to write anymore.

fucks per sentence was nuts

First time playing calamity, and I’ve decided to play rogue. I’m super confused though. All of my weapons are super spam, and attack speed focused, but then what’s the point in stealth strike? I feel like going for the stealth just makes me lose out on dmg

I'm playing summoner, no guides in sight and i'm getting absolutely demolished so far in pre hardmode.. it seems unplayable

Great music choice I must say

My god i love undertale music. Great vid!

Im almost finished with my first run on calamity and I’ve done every build but true melee up to endgame and ranger is super average, Until you beat Yharon, then you get a slight buff.

4:56 you can get that weapon like right at the start of hard mode

I now knowing 😃 (hulk hand roundhouser main)

Now we need 2024

At what point does using a whip become better than a sword as a summoner, pre wall of flesh im getting way more dps just summoning 6 minions and using a sword over a whip

Love Calamity, just wish there was a single new official whip in the game

i don't remember a time where a yt vid had me crying tears like this one did. you rock hahhahaha

subbed because cool . but summoners on top

I keep 5 builds one for each class I always have the best class at each progression level

I played every class at least 3 times I would say mele and range are most fun

You can play basically any class, I like to try anything I haven't done yet, to make the game a bit more interesting and fun... Doing mage atm

Beat regular terraria like 4 hours ago and me and the boys are gonna run our same classes again in calamity mod, wish us luck

3:14 YO THATS ME

What mod do you use that let's you have an unlimited amount of buffs?

I’m playing my first calamity run right now and I chose ranger… let’s just say it’s forcing me to “git good”™️

Me, who loves to get every available weapons and gears before i kill any boss be like: 😮

im doing good with summoners tbh, but u shld use the whips mod too(unofficial calamity whip mods) its.. really important🤞

Me needing this literally 3 days ago

Play summoner cuz the endgame stuff are out of this world

me personally i play melee and when i don't i play melee and sometimes i like to play melee

Rogue is best.. And summon.. Melee, mage, shooter - maybe

Mage is arguably the worst class because of mama sickness debuff and mana flower taking up an extra accessory slot but become the best class with the mana regen potion negating both these weaknesses

Wait how the fuck did you grt fractured ark pre skeletron

Hey man, what mods are using along with calamity in this vid?

Melee was always my favorite class with mage second and never played rogue so II decided to playthrough rogue, got to hardmode and something happened to tmodloaderand lost everything, world character, keybind, everything so that was fun. Also Afterfighting Eater of worlds melee I hate it but I was also trying to kill it with a blade of grass, on the surface and was confused why I couldn't kill it. Tiny arena, no potions( I never use potions anyways) blah blah blah.Point is Rogue then Mage then Ranger then Melee then Summoner. i never use summoner playthrough so that's why it's last

I’m so sad I only have console.. wish they would allow us to mod or at least have popular mods available for download like calamity

Playing mage right now but my first time beating calamity was as a rogue and i sure miss it

good video man

Why does ur boss health bar looks different? (Like it has the name of the boss and health pool) Is it another mod?

my ranking of all classes rogue: rogue is ass melee: rogue is ass ranger: rogue is ass mage: rogue is ass summoner: summoner is OP

first playthrough was rogue, rogue is very fun although i kinda uhhh didn't use stealth much so i kinda sucked

Mana when i use 30 stack potions on astral serum

Does anyone have any recommendation for low-end pc gamer? I suffered hard playing rogue in calamity mod because my FOV is so low since my laptop res is maxed at 1366x768

i need help i cant craft calamity weapons or find things. i only have nwe mobs and some stuff .

Im using mage but Im so weak, my brother is playing melee and we just beat moon lord but I cant even solo plantera.

keep making videos love from polan

summoner is a weird class it has a slow progression generally speaking, with a few valleys of low damage. and then you suddenly grab Terraprisma & Kaleidoscope pre-golem and *oh wow you're set for half way past moon lord* Rogue is also quite interesting, very unassuming, average even. Until you wait like 5 seconds and launch a nuclear bombs worth of damage because a single spear got its "omega death ultimo destruction exploder extreme killer" stealth attack and accidentally glassed a third of the Boss' hp

if you're playing summoners, whips and average weapon (like lunic eye) are pure noise. Ignore them. they offer only incremental bonus. Summoner is goated because you can focus 100% on evasion.

Thats the class rank imo : 1 summoner 2 rogue 3 ranger 4 melee 5 mage That ranking is based on performance of the class at each stage , and that is not based on who is most fun ( i love rogue ,summoner and mage )

Play melee ,that shi is amazing

I started with ranger and I'm f stuck on slime god , i thought i was doing something wrong , AND I WAS , RANGER SUCKS

At this point calamity is just a game that exist in another game 💀

what class does the most damage, I really like big numbers on my screen, I do this in all the games I play, I just pick whatever will do the most braindead damage, so what class does the most ungaboonga braindead damage boss health go burrr

Does anyone know how to get a numismatic crucible???

I am a first time calamity player and I'm doing master mode + revengeance as a mage. I did not know that mage was ment to be played like that. Would it be fine to change my class mid playthrough?

I did melee because I wanna use zenith for scal

Yoyo class 🗿

you can just get inf stealth after dog

Ive fully beaten calamity 3 times at this point (As mage, summoner, and melee) And I gotta say, I think summoner is a little too good now because I legitimately beat DoG in like a minute and a half lol

amazing video Paesohh love from bosnia polska gurom

4:42 whips dont actually decrease summon damage because whips do summon tag damage. also that specific minion is only strong on that boss

I agree they did ranger dirty :

Do you play on 1.4.4 or back on 1.3 personally ?

Hey I saw a calamity ranged mod anyone know anything about it?

it is so refreshing to hear someone swear in a youtube video

true melee class :D

I thought summoner didn't get whips in Calamity? Or is this just a third party mod or someth

Ima will go with the ranger boi (Becuse I am a god ranger on vanilla)

DON'T PLAY DEATH MODE BLIND AS A RANGER WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE

after playing all classes i can confidently make this tier list top: rouge range melee mid: mage hell nah: summoner rouge is fun at all game stages other than super early and gets super fun in mid hardmode, weapons are cool and mechanics and my favorite prog overall range is just cool asf and is good in all game stages, guns and bows can get repetitive but still great melee is by far the coolest class with weapons but in my opinion is only really fun after providence or late hardmode, before that its kinda hard to use, repetitive, and sorta boring (im not a true melee gamer because that would be torture), but the damage and defense make up for it hooly mage just seemed meh the entire game. i mean the weapons were cool ig and accessories but i never found myslef doing actual damage ana having fun until suuuper late hardmode, up to that i wanted to play other classes ngl summoner is terrible i hate the gameplay im biased and i even played up to dog with it i still will never use it again

Rogue gang rise up!

Dont play rogue its the weakest and just generally ass when every other class can out dps it by the time rogue attacks waits for a full charge or even 2 half charges and another attack every other class has done 10x the damage midas gun sniper rifle with a marksman accessory puts even one of the weaker classes above rogue the damage is just not there with stealth strikes unless your running high high end stuff the best this class is used for his worm type bosses thats it honestly tier list wise rogue is not close until late late late game with scarlet and nano reaper tier list- mage melee ranger if using midas gun exploit summoner rogue- stealth charges too slow without QOL even at 50% drain most weapons are spam weapons so that doesnt help as every other class can shit out damage while rogue cries waiting a full 5 seconds to attack doing half the damage another class has already done tested this myself with cheat sheet rogue is at the bottom unless the boss is a worm like dog with dumbbell

murasama.
