least used items (hardmode edition)

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

a while back i made a
least used items thread
most people agreed shortsword/start items

now least used items once hardmode starts

for me it would be probably the phaserblades

edit:
both yours and in general
there really arent any right or wrong answers so long as you distinguish between the two

[Batabii • Suikoden I&II HD]

I want to say the Suspicious Looking Tentacle, or perhaps the Gravity Globe. Both are only obtained when there's nothing left to do, and are more or less useless.

[Igƞis]

Suspicious looking tentacle can be quite useful when exploring though and it provides a quite a good light also the eye looks at all nearby treasure chests also you can see all ores like you did when you had the spelunker potion on which can be very handy but i agree with the gravity globe as why would you want to play the game upside down?

but my least used items/weapons/tool in the hardmode is the phaserblade as i used it just once also the ice scythe is not that useful as you can get the death scythe later on which can do everything that the ice scythe cant and i never liked using the laser drill even if it mines faster than most pickaxes however i want to mine several blocks at once not just a single block my final least used thing is the following hard mode bow even though i am a more gun user i tried using phantasm but i was disappointed on how slow it damages the target and yes i know about the after effect of the bow but they never did fast enough damage for me and i was using the luminite arrows im not complaining about the overall damage of the weapon.

1. it looks at a lot of things, and isn't to specific
2. it's not really much better than the spelunker's lantern

i agree with the gravity globe as why would you want to play the game upside down?

And playing the game upside down would be great if it didn't break half the game mechanics...

You mean Phaseblades? Those aren't hardmode, phasesabers are, and they're actually pretty good until you get a Cutlass.

also the ice scythe is not that useful as you can get the death scythe later on which can do everything that the ice scythe cant

You can't get the death scythe until post-plantera anyway. Or at least after bulbs spawn.

and i never liked using the laser drill even if it mines faster than most pickaxes however i want to mine several blocks at once not just a single block

The only thing that mines several blocks "at once" is bombs and the DCU. And the laser drill has the most range of any other drill or pickaxe.

my final least used thing is the following hard mode bow even though i am a more gun user i tried using phantasm but i was disappointed on how slow it damages the target and yes i know about the after effect of the bow but they never did fast enough damage for me and i was using the luminite arrows im not complaining about the overall damage of the weapon.

For anyone who doesn't avoid ranged weapons, phantasm is nearly gamebreaking.

Also my god enough with the run-on sentences.

Its still a good pet though

It was kind of a bad idea for a expert mode drop i would prepare a minion summon like the tempest staff but instead a true eye of cthulhu spawn and fire lasers at your enemies

Yes i meant the phasesaber.

Yes i know the ice scythe is terrible though

The only thing that mines several blocks "at once" is bombs and the DCU. And the laser drill has the most range of any other drill or pickaxe.

I might have wrote a little bit wrong there i meant to write that i like the pickaxes that destroy blocks fast but i dont like to use the drill much i dont know why

Yea my words were abit stupid there with the run-off sentences i apologize.

pearlwood sword and pearlwood bow, easily..1st available in hardmode due to requiring hallow, and yet essentially equivalent to starter gear. The crystal vile shard is pretty bad too, with insufficient damage to really do meaningful damage to many hardmode enemies, especially on expert mode, though it does have higher knockback than the vilethorn/nettleburst, which is something, I guess. Breaker blade deserves a mention - the only thing it has going for it compared to pre-hardmode weapons like nights edge and the falcon blade is it's sheer size and knockback - though the latter the slap hand is far better for still (that, and the falcon blade is actually more knockback/second than it too, as well as higher dps on the vast majority of things..and autofires). I imagine the format C and gradient get little use as well, as typically you'll get an amarok/helfire/chik before the skeleton merchant shows up to sell you one.

...do NPC items like the classy cane from the tax collector count? that's pretty useless as a HM weapon too.

...how many people actually go back to the underworld to kill red devils for an unholy trident after defeating a mech boss? I'm willing to bet not many, as they hit even harder than the moon lord or crawltipede heads, even if it is quite easy to dodge their projectiles.

The pearlwood armor is even worse imo, because you cant switch armors as easily as weapons

The slap hand is hard as hell to get though. And for some people, breaker blade is literally the first hardmode weapon they get.

I did, it's pretty powerful, more dps than the Frost Staff or Frostbrand

Ugh, you ruined the quotes. I didn't even realize you were replying to me. Let's fix that mess.

Not really worth the trouble

We have enough weapons, we just need to fix how antigravity works.

It's really not.

Drills are just as fast if you know how to use them, and the laser drill is useful in other ways

thats also true
i mean i hardly realized they existed until you brought it up again

ugh the cane is not only garbage, but a ♥♥♥♥♥ to get.

I did, actually. I'd say they're pretty worthwhile, given that they're stronger than almost all of the other Pre-Plantera magic items.

Personally, I feel like the Inferno Fork is pretty worthless- the area effect damage is nice and all, but the fact that it fails to penetrate through walls and knocks back enemies so hard that it doesn't get to do much damage is pretty disappointing. Only against worms is it at all effective. Frankly, I think that carrying it around is a waste of space, especially when both the Spectre Staff and the Necromancer's Staff (I think that's what it was called) are better.

Also, literally any ranged weapon besides the S.D.M.G., the Phantasm, and the Snowman Cannon. I'm not a Ranger, not by any means, so I never actually use the things. I still have them and the end-game Ranger Armor, for in case I change my mind, but besides those three, I just don't think they're worth using because they don't fit my playstyle at all.

So? that doesn't mean they're useless.

Didn't say they were. A few are pretty good, in fact. I just said that I never use them, which is what the thread is asking for.

actually they are good for grinding the bosses
but yeah afterwards the sdmg and phantasm are pretty much the only good ranged weapons worth using
also most people stick to the sniper rifle that almost all other guns get ignored
