Calamity infernum guide (rouge)

[sanstheazmo]

Hello I've taken upon myself to make a guide to infernum including weapons, armor, and accessories.
I will also talk about their attacks; how to dodge them and then give a demonstration.
The reason I'm doing this is because there is no guide for infernum and the more popular guides people use are way outdated.
The first class I want to do is rouge since I have the least amount of experience with it.
My sources will be, This discussion, A Reddit post, Both gidgudwo's and bromes calamity guides, and lastly personal opinion.
There will be 15 phases to the guide.

1.preboss (king slime, desert scourge, EOC, crabulon, BOC/EOW)
2.hivemind/perforators
3.pre skeletron (queen bee, skeletron)
4.pre WOF (deerclops, slime god, WOF)
5.premech (queen slime, cryogen, the twins, aquatic scourge, destroyer, brimstone elemental, skeletron prime)
6.pre plantera (shadow of calamitas, plantera)
7.pre golem (levithan, astrum aureus, golem)
8.precultist (plaguebringer, EOL, ravager, duke fishron, cultist)
9.pre moonlord (bereft vassal, astrum deus, moonlord)
10.pre providence (profaned guardians, dragonfolly, providence)
11.prepolterghast (ceaseless void, stormweaver, signus, polterghast)
12.preDOG (old duke, DOG)
13.yharon
14.pre Scal (exo mechs, Scal)
15.endgame

Please, leave ideas in the comments of this or both posts and All help is appreciated.

i havent played rogue in infernum, but in my current infernum playthrough with a friend (hes a rogue) we just got to guardians. I have some knowledge that is probably pretty common especially if you have played it yourself recently. In my opinion, rogue is one of the weakest classes for most of the game solely due to the fact that it has so many really bad weapons and relies on accessories a ton. Although, when a rogue weapon isnt bad, its usually broken so there's that. This is list is just off of my friend's current experience and my past ones. I dont have much to add on accessories besides that dark gods sheath is a must have due to being able to stealth strike 2 times with it, and that vampiric talisman, filthy glove, and glove of precision are very good.

PostML:
-Wave Pounder was insane when i got to use it long ago, and its still pretty good despite being nerfed. It's AOE is basically uncontested among any other weapon in the game, and once you get it (post providence without catalyst mod) you will probably never drop it because of its range even post scal. the stealth strike is what makes the weapon worth using though it will fall off on post-DoG bosses.
-Lunar kunai are pretty decent overall, and easy to make as well right after moonlord. Unfortunately they are also consumable but it's not a big deal, just an annoyance.
-Hells sun is strange, against anything moving theyre not that great but provided something stands still they are solid. Also aquired right after moonlord.

Hardmode:
-Malachite used to be end all be all until providence when you get it from plaguebringer. It was honestly really broken and it has been mega nerfed, although it is still decent until post-moonlord.
- Leonid progenitor is good, has a great stealth strike, and is very powerful if you get it from aureus asap.
-Auroradical throw. While honestly not great with its low damage, it has incredible homing and coverage. Plus, you can aquire it early hardmode if youre good enough to beat aureus earlier than usual. You literally cannot miss with this weapon.
- Fantasy talisman is a great post-plant weapon, unfortunately they are consumable weapons so that sucks but you will likely not use them very long anyway.
- Blazing star is honestly broken currently, especially for segmented bosses like scourge and destroyer provided you use the weapon properly, its also insanely easy to get early as well as soon as you get any essences of havoc.

Pre-Hardmode:
- Lionfish is really easy to get early on since it shouldnt be post-skeletron anymore in infernum and is solid.
-Ashen stalactite is basically free since i believe you can get it as soon as you are able to get into the underworld. It will be a massive headstart compared to other classes as you can get it right away technically.
