Which melee weapon entering hardmode?

[Andy_RK]

Currently doing master mode, focused on melee. I'm entering hardmode now, which weapon should i use? should i search for a yoyo or a flail? i tried fighting wall of flesh with night's edge and it felt really hard compared to when i used ranged weapon or sunfury

you should spawn a goblin invasion and get yourself a shadowflame knife drop from the sorcerer minibosses

sunfury is great. Drk lance can be good. try yoyos. Get the best armour you can, but remember that melee is EXTREMELY underpower pre-hardmode. It's the weakest class pre-hardmode, basically the strongest post-hardmode.

Also, use potions

Get titanium/admantite amor, use flying knife and bladeotounge, and amarok, and shadow flame knife. Try to get the power glove early in to hardmode, and save a magma stone for one of it's upgrades (if you want to upgrade it or not)
Try to get Fairy wings early hardmode, although a bit time consuming, it's a good option.
But another option is...
If you ever glitched into the temple pre-hardmode with the platform glitch, you can loot the chest for really good loot, aswell as Solar Tablets and fragements and golem summons. if you save those early hardmode, (they dont work in pre hardmode), and wait until you have a enemy farm at the surface, the vampire enemy has a small chance to drop the Broken bat wing which can be used to create Bat wings, one of the most powerful (regarding duke fishron wings) wings for pre hardmode pre mech boss.

Also killing queen slime can reward you with some pretty good stuff, like the mount (amazing), the summon and the accessory which is pretty good for early pre mech bosses.

Flasks of ichor can also really help and theyre cheap as hek. all you do is buy a imbrewing station from the witch doctor and get bottles of water and ichor. i like to keep a stack (or even more) in my inventory if im playing melee, it helps so much.

I was supposing that they were pre -wof, but this works

Use the WIKI page and you would know. Class set up page tells you what you should aim for at each stage.

Dark Lance is apparently going to receive a heavy buff in 1.4.4, so if you're still in fresh hardmode as melee, try using it when 1.4.4 comes out. It's gonna gain a damage increase and inflict Shadowflame oh a hit.
