Sunfury is actually a really good boss killer, excluding the Eye of Cthulu. At least, in my experience.

Try phoenix blaster with meteor shot. The only thing SF kills faster than meteor shot blaster is the eater, and like I said, that requires you to stand against a wall and hit the wall or floor to maximize your attack speed, which means you can't dodge, and also tends to make the eater's head hover near you longer (as you're destroying the head while it's right on top of you multiple times), which all results in using more pots than you would normally.

Muramasa only takes a very little bit longer, and you come out of it using like half the pots. And if you're in an open area blaster is still just plain faster.

There are ways to kill bosses stupidly fast with Sunfury, but you have to do a bunch of well-timed ninja shit and you can just pop caps in them with PB

I even prefer the Blue moon over the Muramasa because against enemies like the eye and worm I can do I decent upward throw right into them as it chains damage during that moment that if floats there, and then if throw in line with the eater it will really rack up damage.

Part of why I'm going to go for the Sunfury soon since I want that extra pain it brings.

Muramasa is terrible against most bosses, yes (I still use it ANYWAY, 'cause it's not like they're actually hard... but then I also don't wear armor when fighting most bosses unless I'm doing a multi-summon boss rush or just want some demonite quick). All swords are. But seriously, try the blaster against the eye. You can only do the 'float damage' now and then, but with the blaster you're constantly popping caps into it. The fight takes under a minute.

Also, I'm not sure if you can actually hit more/faster with sunfury against eater than the 'attack the floor' trick that makes it 'swing' faster than VF speed, regardless of how you throw it into the enemy. And, again, you can only do the properly timed throws sometimes during a boss fight.

So while I definitely noticed that Eater went down much faster using sunfury in an enclosed space than using muramasa or phoenix blaster, it wasn't so much faster as to make sunfury worth getting.

Man I just started playing and I don't know what you dudes are talking about- I just hit stuff with my pickaxe and it dies. Eater of the World comes out of ground and I just pick him in the eye. It pretty sweet.
Don't use guns. They kill people.

Phoenix Blaster is okay, I guess. I still like the Minishark better, but that's because I carry a metric shitton of meteor shots with me at all times.

Haven't been playing recently (had a hankering for old Sega games), but decided to get some of that thar vanity shiz today. Long story short, I'm now rolling sunglasses, tux pants, and ninja shirt.

Speaking of ninja shirt, while I was getting the suit, I ended up with extra pants. Ninja pants are in the donation thing if anyone wants them. Also: The chests in the corrupted pillar are free to be taken from. I just like to stick demonite/shadow shit in them sometimes 'cause it feels right.

I now have full Molten armor and a flame slash and I am working on a Sun fury
GOD I LOVE THIS ARMOR Those stupid imps only hit me for 10 and the bones only do 20. After I get those I am going to annihilate Skull tron.

Pip Boy · 06-15-2011, 11:32 PM

I now have the Phoenix Blaster and roughly an entire inventory full of meteor shot. I also have full molten armor, rocket boots, obsidian skull, cloud in a jar, and two cobalt shields. Starting to get kind of bored actually. I finally have all these bitchin items and theres nothing left to do with them. I've raided the dungeon, torn apart the underworld (drained an ocean into it for lulz after harvesting hellstone to my heart's content) and farmed a full set of Jungle Armor. Feels like theres nothing left. Hopefully they'll update with more content.
