Which bullet is best overall for boss fights?

[Peek 'A' Boom]

I know crystal is good, but i wanna know what type of bullet is best to make with empty shells...

[Renzhe Light]

hmm I still believe... Chlorophyte bullets are the best...

[Terminal]

Ichor bullets are good for allowing extra damage

exploding bullets and venom bullets

definitely awesome for fighting golem... but not that perfect though...

dont use it for twins, and other mechanical boss... its still better stick with chlorophyte bullets which can homing...

for destroyer better use exploding or crystal.

It's not so much that venom bullets inflict venom on them, but after chlorophyte its bullets deal the most damage and its arrows deal most damage of all the arrows in the game.

Actually, the damage of Chlorophyte Bullets was lowered in 1.2.3. Venom Bullets are now the most damaging bullets in the game, not counting added effects.

Yeah, I tried the Chlorophyte Bullets and found them to be a bit on the naff side. :| I guess they're good if you can't be bothered to aim? xD

It depends entirely on what you need. For raw damage with a fully automatic gun, crystal are definitely the way to go.

I wouldn't suggest ichor bullets. Ichor's not easy to gather large amounts of, and golden showers doesn't need you to keep finding more.

Venom bullets are currently the best in terms of raw damage, but with ym chaingun, I've found that crystall still grants higher damage per second.

Explosive bullets are great if you wnat to shove enemies away from you, and can do extra damage with the detonation. In fact, a target will get hit twice: once form the impact and once form the explosion. They're great for dealing with mobs, although they can be a bit dangerous to use, should you hit yourself.

As far as chrolophyte bullets go... they're only useful if you're a really bad shot. Or if you're hellbent on dodging attacks, at which point you can focus on the dodging and let the bullets do the work.

How much more loot does the gold bullets give you? approx?

Have to disagree - Ichor is very easy to get.

That's my old soul/cash/key farm, back then I needed Vertebrae and Ichor. I had so many Ichors that I had to sell them. So yeah, if you need Ichor, try setting up a decent farm in the Crimson area. (not sure of a Corruption equivalent, as I'm not that familiar with it)

The Corruption's answer to Ichor is Cursed Flames.

I'm not sure that you can farm that the same way you can ichor, however, as it only drops from Clingers or World Feeders, both of which are relatively uncommon and one of which follows the Plant AI, which means it's just stuck in one spot.

[NotApplicable]

Ah, that's a shame, but still, can just hop onto a Crimson world and farm a load of Ichor.

From a quick Google, it looks like it is (or at least was) possible to create a farm for Cursed Flames.

Does anyone know if that is still possible?
