Shrimpy Truffle or Cosmic Car Key?

[Ad Victoriam]

I'm trying to get an infinite flying mount, want to know which one would be better. Thanks!

Cosmic Car Key

Alright. any reason why?

[Snack]

Shrimpy, due major buffs from water and at 50% health, does not vanish like ufo in water

Shrimp is only worth it if you have a large water arena, otherwise he is slower in the air than the UFO, going in the water gives you a buff that lasts roughly 5 seconds out of water, but makes you about, i'd say 1.5x the speed of the UFO

So shrimpy truffle for water/combat, car key for travel? Thanks.

If you have the party girl NPC you can buy bubble blocks, which allow people to pass through but not liquids. You can then place water blocks in the sky around your world and use that to travel faster than the UFO.

Otherwise the UFO is definately better for travel, and for most combat if you aren't fighting in water

(though I still prefer the Fishron over the UFO either way because of looks)

Alright. I'll try that tip with the party girl.

I'd say the opposite, actually. The Shrimpy Truffle's boost is too unreliable to be useful in combat unless you're doing it underwater, while the UFO's reliability makes it a decent choice for boss battles and events such as Frost moon. However, if you have a Rod of Discord, you can use its debuff to reduce your health below half whenever you want while flying on a Shrimpy Truffle to activate its speed buff, which makes it great for covering long distances in a short amount of time.

However, I'd say that wings are superior to both, at least in combat. The extra speed you get from high-tier wings is much more useful than infinite flight. I only ever really find myself using my mounts when I'm building or traveling long distances over land (or mining in the case of the drill mount).

Alright. Thanks again.

I've been wondering how reasonable it would be to "drown" an entire world just so you could use the Fishron mount everywhere... compared with Wings, you'd be moving faster, have infinite flight, get a +13% damage bonus, and gain an extra accessory slot (Wings use one, the mount doesn't).

I could see myself building a boss arena in a Small world filled with water.

With the infinite water bucket, couldn't be that hard.

It would just take a good amount of time as each pour of the bucket is one block worth of water.

Yeah, I'd basically leave a semi-heavy object on my mouse button and go AFK for a few hours.

Not a bad idea tbh. :P

You would have to do that on a world other than your main one, since NPCs drown in water now.

Also, while I haven't tested it, I'm not sure how having water everywhere would affect the spawning of enemies and bosses. Something tells me that some of them might require air tiles to spawn on. And then there's Duke Fishron, who can't be fished up if everything's underwater, so you'd have to at least leave a small sliver of air in the map where you can go to fish him (or build an underwater air dome, I believe that works too).
