Removing this Mechanic BREAKS Terraria...

normally after taking damage enemies are provided with a brief window of invulnerability or immunity frames here's a quick example even though this jousting lance's hitbox is active the whole time king slime is only taking a handful of hits thanks to the iframes he gets but what would happen if we were to remove them [Music] as you can imagine this mod shifts the balance of this game a lot a great example of this is the crystal vile shard what most people would normally consider a pretty mediocre weapon becomes an absolute menace with this mod insult but don't just take my word for it let me show you so here we have destroyer and um this is uh that's how much damage it does um so yeah it's pretty good it's uh it's a little bit stronger you could say now yes i'll admit the is a pretty convenient example for this but let's try a different boss so here we have the twins which hopefully will give us a little bit of a more realistic result especially because of how to sure spawn there it was a little bit ridiculous but as you see the damage is still extremely good so just as a little refresher for those who haven't used this weapon in a while here's what it would normally look like without this modern salt we're doing a few hundred damage brit we get up to 700 if and only if we hit both at the same time uh so not that much at all and if we switch back we can see that the damage is about 7 000 when hitting both so still insanely insanely strong but it doesn't end there next let's take a look at the rainbow gun it's normally a weapon that offers a decent amount of chip damage against your enemies but remove iframes and this thing turns into probably the strongest weapon in your kit so i'm gonna spawn in gollum here and um just watch how quickly a salad bar goes down this is again just barely a post planter weapon um and it is completely nuking golem um yeah that's a lot of damage but of course not every weapon will get buffed after installing this mod in fact there are plenty of weapons that don't see significant buffs at all this is usually because the weapon lacks an active hitbox but there's plenty of other reasons as well for starters just about every weapon that fires a projectile that disappears on hit obviously won't be seeing a buff this right off the bat knocks out most ranged weapons and ammo types along with several major melee ones and to add to that weapons that only have a limited amount of piercing will only get so much extra from this mod and because of this many of the usual go-to weapon candidates haven't changed all that much however there are definitely a few weapons here and there that majorly benefit from the lack of iframes and uh the razer blade typhoon is a great example of this okay so i have empress here and uh just just watch just watch how much damage we do it's uh pretty insane so that's after it's just it's first phase and um it's probably going to die before it even gets to the next part oh nope it actually made it okay so yeah the razer blade melts as you can as you just saw oh and if you thought beanies were busted before just wait till you see them now after seeing all this you're probably thinking this is cool and all but this makes the game way too easy and i would agree with you if not for the fact that the players immunity frames have also been removed now you may have noticed that i had god mode on in a few of the previous clips and well that was the reason for that take a look at what happens when you get hit by a queen b charge or when you accidentally brush up against skeletron and how about an eye of cthulhu dash a single mistake in a boss fight often turns out to be fatal in the spot now the bosses may seem doable when you see the fact that our weapons do so much damage but i think the real pain of this mod is trying to do everything else just getting materials while there's slimes in the way and then giant worms when you're dying if you get it by one of those you're you're done there's no coming back from that and remember that broken rainbow gun they were talking about earlier well imagine trying to navigate the dungeon with this mod installed it would be absolute hell this would be probably one of the most painful things to do in the whole game it's definitely not suited for a balanced area play through experience which is exactly why i think that would uh make for an interesting challenge video uh this may not be possible for you to complete um so we'll see if i can do it and if you'd like to watch me do it live then uh you can feel free to head over to my twitch channel i'll be showing it three times a week over there so be sure to stop by anyways with all that being said thank you all so much for watching i'll see you all in the next one [Music] you
