I’ve been preparing to take on the mech bosses in Terraria and have been trying out different weapons. I’ve already cheesed the Destroyer (that guy was tough!). I’m currently a hybrid using melee, magic, and summoning techniques: melee for close combat, magic for ranged attacks, and summons to distract enemies and chip in some extra damage. I crafted the Sky Fracture but I’m really disappointed with its high mana cost and low damage output. I also made the Excalibur since I want to craft the Terra Sword after beating Plantera. Honestly, I feel under-equipped for the Twins. Besides looking at the Sanguine Staff and a dragon summon, I feel a bit lost on what to do next. Any suggestions on powerful weapons?

If you’re looking for a ranged melee option, the Bananarang can be surprisingly effective during those fights, especially against the mech bosses!
You might want to consider focusing on a single class instead of spreading yourself too thin. If you choose one style and stick to it, like melee, you could build your character and gear around that. Switching armor and accessories based on your current class can maximize your efficiency during battles. You won’t have to worry as much about juggling everything at once.
For melee, I had great success with the Shadowflame Knife for all mechanical bosses. For magic users, try the Shadowflame Hex Doll along with the Clinger Staff—it’s a powerful combo!
Thanks for the tip! I’ve been using the Shadowflame too, but it didn’t feel very strong. Maybe I should add a modifier to it.
Don’t overlook the Light Discs and Mushroom Spear—they’re both solid options for this phase of the game.
I get that! But being just melee is tough for me since I take a lot of hits up close, and with magic, I always run out of mana. I love using summons but I’m unsure how effective they are compared to whips and other options right now.
