Why does nobody use this amazing Terraria weapon? The Nightglow. In this video, I take a look at this post-plantera mage weapon that hardly gets any of the recognition it deserves. This weapon is basically a direct upgrade to the spirit flame which was already an insanely powerful weapon. The functionality remains the same, but is buffed in many aspects. The projectiles now pierce and move much faster making it a fantastic weapon to use against bosses like Golem, the Cultist and even the Empress of Light herself. If you haven't used this in your playthroughs, you absolutely need to give it a go!

Sock, I'm just stopping by to say that your videos are genuinely great and I can tell you put a lot of love and effort ❤️
so happy that u managed to get a sponsored, I've been watching ur vids since the Uzi one and your content is great ! keep up the good work !
7101st view 😎
Yooo congrats for getting sponsored 🤯🤯
You’re like the channel “Duke Fishron” but instead of just saying “oooo this weapon is overpowered because it can kill a really easy boss” you actually explain WHY the weapons are good or bad. 10/10. I recommended you to my friends :)
duke fishron kinda fell off for me 😢
@@kebin2392 he used to be funny. Then he started reposting annoying videos. It’s sad.

Yeah, since you are seeing every single video anyways, you might as well sub! (I am most definitely not sockrteez alt)
Same for me 😃
He is prob the best commentator besides chippy, I love it
Yes

This is hands down my favorite Terraria channel. The quality of uploads is just unmatched and is spectacular. I'll be here when you hit 100k, and hopefully when you go beyond!
Ayy thanks for the kind words I appreciate it! I’m sure we’ll get to 100k in no time :)
I second this
This and Swings are best Terraria content creators right now NGL
sockrteez and TheRazZPlay are awesome.
@@sockrteez Yo what mod did you use in the outro?
I always thought the Nightglow was really underrated. It's consistent, it has high damage, it decimates crowds and most enemies in one or two shots, it does good damage against bosses, and it looks cool. I feel like the only reason people don't use it as much as they should is because Razorblade Typhoon is technically available at the start of hardmode, while Empress is post-Plantera and (arguably) harder than Duke, so people tend to overlook Nightglow.
Gonna be honest, I really struggle with Empress. Duke is significantly easier IMHO because its attack patterns are a bit simpler and it isn’t so much of a bullet hell.
@@JordanMetroidManiac well empress is easy if you just run on concrete, you dodge everything and even have the chance to turn around when she dashes. In the second phase you occasionally have to jump in order to get no damage at day time but at night she is easy af
Personally, I find Duke Fishron rather difficult and not as rewarding as Empress (after having to farm both of them for trophies on Zenith seed). Duke is a high-damage, fast creature that, for me, is difficult to deal with using my normal setup, whereas I can somewhat tank most of Empress's attacks with my usual arena and setup. The only high-damage attack she does is the dash. Although I'm not sure about daytime EoL.
Personaly i find Empress way easier than Duke Fishron.
I think there’s a very simple reason why nobody uses this weapon, and that’s that most of the time you fight empress of light right before pillars, at which point the stuff that empress drops are most of the time obsolete compared to whatever the pillars give you (or at least most players just would rather use what the pillars give you) so realistically you’re only really using this weapons to fight lunatic cultist (who many people consider one of the easier bosses in the game) and probably just one pillar. All of that combined makes it so that no one really sees the value of going out of their way to get this, and because of that few people actually use it.
I mean me personally I fight empress right after plantera, but even still, the weapon is gained way too late into the game and there are better options.
@@kelismaincharacter4925 tbh I didn’t even know you could fight empress right after plantera, I thought it was a post golem boss
I feel abnormal since the cultists is the hardest boss for me. I have posy pillar weapons too💀
this sums it up. she’s not really easier than cultist, and the reward for beating cultist (pillar gear) is just so good that i don’t really know when you’re supposed to fight her. only the terraprisma really outcompetes it’s equivalent pillar weapons but if you’re going for that then difficulty likely isn’t an issue i suppose.
@@Hazel-xl8insoaring insignia is arguably the best accessory in the game. The weapons are sadly outclassed
If you have a character named Serenity, the night glow changes between a pale pink and white light, As well as the last prism. I discovered that when I made a Sailor Moon based character.
I know you usually do weapons, but have you ever considered doing armor sets like the Forbidden Set? It’s one of my favorites because of its unique set bonus, but nobody seems to know about it.
I love Forbidden Armor. You can be mage, but with the summon boosts you can have minions that actually do stuff as well! Also, coolest looking in the game imo.
@@Flameonoodle Exactly.
It is, but premech, it's really hard to get, even post much sometimes, as sand elemental only spawn in sandstorm with high wind speed dependent on luck
The sand tornado is the best part
I have played terraria for years and I was doing a master mode run with my friend, got the core I forgot what it was called from the desert elemental and took it to the guide, made the armor. It's gotta be one of the coolest armor sets along with the stardust armor and chlorophyte armor
I love these videos of yours. I’ll be using this in my next mage play through
ok, that sponsor transition was absolutely incredible
Not actually
So happy that you got your first sponsor!!!
im still confused how you dont already have 1 mil because the quality is excellent and the content is perfect for almost everyone
ok, that transition to the sponsor was smooth af, makes you wanna use it for the said Stuff 💀
I remember using the Nightglow on my first 1.4 playthrough and I remember it being great. I think I used it even against the Moon Lord.
The Nightglow is actually among my favorite mage weapons, so seeing you review this is just amazing! Though the high mana cost can be quite the killer sometimes
most underrated terraria content creator
I haven't watched you in so long and I come back to your channel and so many memories hit me
Night glow is honestly one of my favorite empress weapons, combined with spectre armor if triggers orbs very often and i love it
Finally, someone said something about this weapon, I use this every mage play through I get because of how much it helps against fishron
You and chippy are the terraria duo. I love your videos, and I'm so glad you showed up in my fyp!! 💜
Currently trying to get a razorpine in my current playthrough, I'll be sure to try it!
It would be great if you did a video on the Flying Dragon. Ever since it got buffed a while back it's become an absolute monster.
Well, if you ignore the Terra Blade. Sure, it doesn't go through walls, but it also doesn't require going through OOA, which many people don't like
@@ianluk8855 I've tested the Terra Blade vs the Flying Dragon. The Flying Dragon beats the Terra Blade in terms of raw dps in groups and solo target situations by a healthy margin. The terra blade is easier to use though with a much larger, faster projectile. Ever since it got buffed its been an absolute menace. I really recommend you give it another shot.
@@nolanyeager2754 I think I did test it, and only found it to be marginally better in practice. Flying Dragon's projectile fire rate doesn't stack with melee speed, so it's much less consistent than Terra Blade unless your aim is pretty good. This, combined with the fact that it's only marginally better than Terra Blade and arguably harder to obtain, means it's usually not worth going for imo. Other Betsy drops are more worth it, mainly Aerial Bane and Betsy's Wrath
@@ianluk8855 I can completely agree with those criticisms. I see the Flying Dragon as a side-grade to the terra blade. The Terra Blade is overall the more versatile weapon, but the Flying Dragon is still really good. My point is just that this weapon is slept on because it's tied to OOA, but it's still one of the best pre-moonlord melee weapons.
@@nolanyeager2754 it is pretty good. I also think it's slept on because it's not quite as impactful or unique as Aerial Bane or Betsy's Wrath. Both of those weapons are unique, and very very uniquely powerful, thus providing a bigger draw to get them
Whats next? The wooden bow?
YES! This man definitely deserves 100k. All of his terraria videos are SOO useful.
Would it be possible if you did a video on the Tempest staff? I was really curious on how good it is now since it’s ai changes and buffs.
Love your videos man, congrats on the sponsorship ❤️
To be honest, I did used this to beat the Cultist, since it has a homing projectile that chase enemies and I think this is the fastest to react, and also yess, this is very good for events as well! overall it is a good weapon up until to end-game although its DPS isn't suitable for Moonlord no longer....
at one point in my ranger playthrough, i was grinding through getting dungeon equipment, and when i considered going through the frost moon for the chain gun i felt a pit open in the bottom of my stomach. i simply did not want to go through a difficult event with annoying enemies and low drop rates any more than i had done already, so i said “screw it” and started the lunar events. a couple cultist tries later (i’m not very good lol) i was able to get the vortex beater and now i had such a powerful gun and summon from the stardust made that everything else was irrelevant. rushing pillar gear just gets you such l powerful rewards that i usually don’t want to go through the slog of martian madness/old one’s army/empress of light etc in that weird post-golem stage. maybe if empress was required pre-cultist? or something along these lines? it just feels like she’s such a hard boss fight and we were able to take on the cultist and moon lord just fine before she showed up, regardless of how good it might be. i love her drops but by the time you get them you’re about to get the penultimate weapons anyways so it doesn’t feel worth the effort.
The nightglow is BY FAR my favorite mage weapon. It just looks so cool!
my man is finally getting sponsorships, very deserved
The night glow is actually such a sick weapon
Been here since 20k, hopefully you get 100k Soon my Man🙏
You should make a video about the seedler, it’s a plantera drop
I love the spirit flame, one of the most unique and powerful weapons for its stage in the game
Nightglow is my favorite magic weapon glad to see you cover this OP underrated weapon, its basically a multishot rainbow rod minus the constant clicking and the follow mouse that is worse than its homing.
I Love that weapon, is one of the few that make you feel like you're using a boss atack
Hope you get to 100k soon!!!
do a video of all of these not so well known weapons in a tourtament for all of them and future ones maybe
The video is so good. The editing is good too. May I ask how did you make the intro bit and what you use to edit?
Ayy thanks! I use Adobe Premiere pro to edit and got the text animation from an asset pack. Can’t remember which one tho :/
@@sockrteez Thank you for answering! It's alright. Love the video btw. Can't wait to see more content. Have a nice day
that was the smoothest transition into a sponser I have ever seen
I love the Nightglow! I use it as a handheld light whenever i'm starting a new character, and as a secondary weapon. My only pet peeve with it is just how long it takes for the lights to home into targets.
Honestly thought hr was talking about the prismatic rod, which in my opinion is easy to get, needed for an achievement and is actually really good when I used it in 1.3
Can you do Frost Armor preview? That armor is very underrated and so far, i see almost nobody talking about it
I was hoping to see the OP child of the Spirit Flame and the Rainbow Rod on here at some point, loved using this thing in my first mastermode playthrough as a mage
Even in calamity, during my mage playthrough, this thing was my best weapon for Ceaseless Void. It's just that good.
Me: getting ready to skip the sponsorship section of the video. The 11 Daytime Empress of Lights on screen: WE HAVE COME TO TALK ABOUT YOUR CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY!!!! 4:33 OH DEAR LORD THEY ARE BACK!!!!
This weapon looks so fucking cool. I’m gonna get this on my future mage run as well as the desert spirit flame.
this chad god 500 SUBS in 3 HOURS SHEEESH (keep up the epic work dude)
This has been my gotto weapon since it got introduced. I also love the magic missile, flamelash and rainbow rod
Nightglow is amazing I picked it up my first mage playthrough when she got added.
Yess, Finally talking about this weapon. This thing carried me to post moon-lord
i absolutely LOVE the Nightglow, it helped me beat daytime empress for the first time with only 20 tries! from then on i cherish this pretty weapon
I found the night glow to have slightly lower dps than than the razor blade typhoon, which already has the advantage of dropping from a much earlier boss. The only exception seemed to be when using the Spectre armour, specifically with the mask rather than the hood. At the time you fight empress this armour will be available to you (and honestly you should have it anyway if using magic) and it’s set bonus makes the night glow easily outdps the razor blade typhoon, along with most other weapons until pillars.
i was actually suprised when i found out you had under 100k subs this channel feels like a 500k-600k subscriber channel
This weapon is a must have for all my magic playthroughs, direct upgrade to my rainbow rod it's SO crazy it wipes the pillars low-key this weapon and the razorblade typhoon are my go tos for pillars until I get nebula weapons
As soon as this weapon got introduced, I immediately fell in love with it. It might not be as powerful as Last Prism, but boy is it 10x as flashy. Nightglow is and always will be my ultimate favourite Terraria weapon of them all.
I loved using the nightglow and spirit flame ever since they came out, eye candy.
Been here since 17k ❤ love your stuff bro 😎
The reason no one uses the really cool post plantera weapons is because unless you are playing ftwmm both golem and lunatic cultist are pushovers and that you can beat with pre plantera or easily obtainable post plantera weapons. After you beat lunatic cultist you get the ability to get some pretty op weapons that invalidate almost everything post plantera to pre pillars
The reason I don't use this weapon because it always got replaced by the star guitar weapon (I forgot the name of it) but the star guitar weapon is faster and high velocity and great dps
I love that weapon because I use it like a lantern because it happens to emit more light and then most torches
This weapon is what I firstly aimed for this hardmode! I love this weapon a lot especially that I am a mage guy.
Well can nightglow make music like stellar tune?I don't see it make sound like those weapons. (Also almost 100k?Nice you are gonna be like one of the famous yts like crabbar or chippy :).)
how do you do that thing where you fire projectiles instantly and there's a bunch on screen? and how come when you fight mimics from statues they drop loot? also how are you fighting so many EoL at once? I have so many questions!
I absolutly *LOVE* this weapon it is so underrated. I even used it post moonlord cause last prism gets boring by time
I think the last prism needs a design overhaul. Sure it makes sense that a prism would “shoot” rainbows or whatever, but the way it does that could be made more interesting and slightly less difficult to handle in a battle. Maybe it could even incorporate moonlike elements to it so as to resemble the Moon Lord just as Nightglow resembles the Empress of Light.
@@JordanMetroidManiac yes exacly
I love this weapon. It carried me all the way past plantera to the end of my mage only playthrough. 12/10 definitely would recommend 👍👍
u fought empress of night before plantera
It's definitely a good weapon, but it suffers from post-Plantera progression curve, meaning you either skip Empress entirely or fight her after Moon Lord, which defeats the purpose of it's existence. Out of all homing projectile mage weapons I'd put it somewhere behind the Stellar Tune or Nebula Blaze, as Tune can shoot through blocks a lot faster and is better for single target, while Blaze has crazy high crit chance and damage multiplier.
You just hit me with the cleanest sponsor ever created
The funny thing is that when I was grinding for the kaleidoscope, I got about 11 nightglows
That was a damn smooth plug for your sponsor
From 90k subs up to 100k in a month, well done maybe, just gained a new sub, helpful
Wouldn't be a sockrteez video if he didnt get the drop on either the first drop or the 20th drop.
Literally 😂
good to see you got your sponser however due to the nature of the video and its length it would be significantly better if you put it at the start or the end instead of the middle
This and the Stellar Tune are excellent at crowd control, late comment but, it's also my fave Empress drop
This thing isn't really a spirit flame upgrade so much as it is the mage equivalent of a xenopopper with chlorophyte bullets. Only major difference is its ability to pierce.
Nightglow is very good paired with spectre armor's set bonus.
You should review an item call "Sky Dragons Fury." I just found that it existed. It's pretty unique in it's attacking.
It's one of my fav weps in the game, and i only wish it was stronger, or upgradeable for an endgame build so that i could have the most fun and prettiest spell out there it'd be kinda neat if you could upgrade EoL weps with the terraprisma cause it's her super hard drop but also unrealistic as it's not that hard to get once you learn the fight which also isnt hard at all
I absolutely love this weapon, and I use it every time I play Mage. It's one of my favorite mage weapons because of how fun it is, and how powerful it is.
You should make a video about the most underrated weapon aka the zenith
I used it when i played mage, one of my favorite weapons
4:34 you usually use the weapon that the video is covering when you do this segment. is there any reason that you used the razorblade typhoon instead?
I would assume because they're often compared.
I swear, the Mage class has the coolest looking effects, even tho I mostly play melee I really like how hardmode makes Mages weapons even more insane.
The video is great but I gotta say... That advert was smooth
Eleven fights to get it… I felt that DEEP. It took me at LEAST twenty-five times to get the sword (I’m a melee build) from Empress.
the nightglow is amazing, i have it on all of my mage worlds, its the best for crowd control
Hey good job on getting sponsored, get that bread! :D
I think the Empress of light is abit to hard for me, because I kinda suck but i would go for this when i get better, but with sockerteez-es wisdom of weapons i can finally go for better options to help blast my way through the game. Thank you sockrteez
The night glow is a very viable weapon for a good amount of time especially when you do eol before golem and could compete with the Martian laser and stellar tune with it homing and considerably less rare drop rat
that was a clean NordVPN transition there
Id love it if you did a video on the lunar portal staff
How does one get their vids to get this sorta views in only 40 mins. U are a god man
I think that part of the reason that it's so underrated is that it has a lot of overlap in functionality with the Razorblade Typhoon with its homing and piercing capabilities. As a result, people tend to stick with the Razorblade Typhoon which is already well-known for being very powerful instead of trying to figure out the pros and cons of each.
Interesting item from the Empress boss drops... It is expected to do good vs the late game, did you try moon lord with it? expert/master mode?
Pairing this with Spectre Armor makes for one helluva light show.
transition into the sponsor was amazing
finally a nightglow appreciation video
yo not gonna lie that was a smooth transition
The main use I use the Nightglow for is to get the Stellar Tune, as I like long playthroughs It’s definitely a fair alternative, a much higher drop rate, but half the power (understatement) I find the homing and fire speed fine, but sometimes it gets annoying (events and such) Overall it’s just if you prefer a more common weapon with less damage, or a rarer one with more, I’d probably mainly use the Stellar Tune In harder game modes (Master and Legendary), as Empress isn’t too difficult (homing and dodging) I prefer the Stellar Tune for its higher power for those difficulties Mage in general just seems to have a ton of high damage weapons near the end (Betsy’s Wrath, Charged Blaster Cannon, Stellar Tune, Razorpine/Blizzard Staff)
Glad you get some partnership whith those videos
