You NEED to revisit this weapon in Terraria 1.4.4

terrari is 1.4.4 update has seriously increased the variety of viable weapon options throughout the game with a plethora of Buffs and reworks made to some of the more forgotten and unused weapons in the game this primarily focused on pure melee but also reworked a handful of more obscure options like flamethrowers and sentries today we're going to be looking at a Weaponry work I didn't expect to see on the North Pole being a spear this has always been quite an underwhelming drop compared to the other weapons obtainable at this tier so the question is has the rework made it worth getting before we take a look at its performance however here's how you can get your hands on it as many of you know the North Pole is a postpontera weapon obtained from the frost moon event to summon it you'll need to give a 5 hectare plasm drop from dungeon Spirit which have a chance of spawning when killing an enemy 20 silk which is crafted and a loom using cobwebs and five Souls of fry which are dropped from Skeletron Prime with all of these combine them together at an anvil to get yourself the naughty present summoning item keep in mind that you may need to craft a few of these as the frost moon is a night limited event with the frost Moon underwear you're going to want to progress the waves as fast as possible as we're on the lookout for ice Queens this can be quite tricky in itself is the first 11 waves needed to complete on exactly a walk in the park and will acquire a powerful crowd control weapon like the flare on to pass quickly it also seems that the length of the early waves have been increased in the 1.4.4 update assuming you can get there as soon as a nice Queen spawns you're going to want to put all your attention on killing her as she has a low starting chance of only 2.83 percent of dropping the North Pole luckily like any moon event drops this Rises as you progress through the waves becoming more and more common hopefully you can get it nice and quickly like I did here so let's take a look at how it performs now the North Pole's functionality is extremely unique especially for a spear weapon while it can be used as a regular spear this is wasting its true potential as you can see it releases a deadly trail of snowflakes that carpet bomb the path of an icy spear projectile this can be used in a number of ways by firing directly upwards you can achieve some incredibly High DPS in one concentrated area but I'd say the true utility of this weapon is spreading this damage out across a large open space dealing damage to a line of enemies equally now you're probably wondering this looks and sounds pretty similar to what it did before and although it does appear that way relogic did in fact rework this weapon to be far more useful with the damage of the spear projectile now dealing the fall damage and the flakes dealing slightly more too The Flicks are now also not affected by wind and fire in a more randomized pattern making it easy to hit a group of enemies as you can see even against some more tank enemies like biomimics the spear can do a pretty good job at dealing damage to multiple at a time due to its piercing however this is where the weaknesses begin to show as this weapon begins to fall short the less enemies you have on the screen against Golem for example there's a pretty average job of taking it down mainly because of how stationary this boss is the flight projectiles are mostly able to keep on Target and deal passive damage to each section of the Boss Wave books on dodging and while this does work on a boss-like Gollum the same cannot be said for the cultist which was just a nightmare to fight not only is it quite hard to win as the icy ball isn't exactly rapid trying to aim the snowflakes was almost impossible thanks to the cultist tiny hitbox the utter cultural projectiles on the screen also pretty much guaranteed a failure on the cultist illusion phase making the rest of the fight even harder and eventually resulting in my death if you really want to use this weapon effectively for the stage you get it in the game you really need to stick to events and as you need to complete the frost Moon just to get your hands on it you only really have the Pumpkin Moon left and while this does a very good job of it so does the Flareon which can also effectively take out bosses so I begin to wonder if even with the damage buff is it actually worth the grind for what do you think if you've used the new North Pole is it worth getting or just missing out thanks for watching the more Terraria content like this drop a like And subscribe and I'll see you in the next one
