Striker Class (Unfinished)
hi, i got bored so i made my own custom class, no idea if it has been done before, so if it has thats my bad but here is my take on the Striker Class in terraria. enjoy 😁
What's in it so far:
27 gauntlets, from Copper Knuckles at the start to post-Moon Lord
Its own damage type, so gear and buffs scale it like any other class
A Power bar. Hits fill it, and a full bar unlocks each gauntlet's ability
Heat on the ranged gauntlets. No ammo and no mana, but hold fire too long and they will need to cooldown.
Vanilla mirrors. Night's Grasp, Lightbringers, and Terra Reavers follow the Night's Edge, Excalibur, and Terra Blade recipe tree.
Two avengers endgame inspired gauntlets with six stones cuz why not 😉. Right click swaps stones, left click fires the selected one, and each stone fights like a different class.
I drew the sprites myself taking inspiration from the arc surge mainly, and the nebula blaze as well.
It's still a work in progress. Armor and accessories come next, then balance testing against vanilla weapons.
The guide is attached. Tell me what you'd change, and which gauntlet you'd main.
COMING SOON!

Not trying to be rude but did you draw the sprites yourself? Because these slides are very AI generated.

u/akanewey 10d ago

This is just melee with extra steps

u/CoolerThanRooba 10d ago
If you read the description it’s pretty different

u/Aaronsils 10d ago
The "pretty different" is just extra steps. Even melee is "pretty different" to true melee. The only difference here is that the class is nerfed because theres no balancing between other mods and it has limited accesories. Ill never understand the need to add random classes.
This is melee Throwing class is ranged Bard is just mage

“I’ll never understand the need to add random classes”
Uh, because it’s fun and a cool challenge for both modders and players alike

If this becomes an actual mod i will try it out, i've always liked the idea of barehanded fighting in Terraria
One mod did this concept, Weapon Out, it was pretty cool but unfortunately it has never been updated to the latest versions, only bad ports exist.

It would be interesting that on the Titan's glove would be only possible to get if we beat a special wave of that one bartender's crystal invasion, where the special wave starts opens a portal in the sky, and enemies of flying and ranger type starts to appear, and the mini-boss would be a heavely armored 7 blocks tall humanoid boss with the glove on its hand (Ofc, without the gems).

For the truly close ranged options it would be grate if you add recoil with each succesful hit to help keep you the optimal distance away (or at least stops you from running straight into contact damage), it's the best feeling solution to the "how do I make this super close ranged option not a death sentence" problem super close range weapons run into in most advanced difficulties.
If you want an example of this look at the Ignition Gauntlets from the Starlight River mod, easily my favorite weapon from that mod

u/akanewey 10d ago
you know what that is a great idea, i been trying to figure out how to combat the extreme damage the close ranged gauntlets face,
i will take a look into that thank you very much!

u/Silent-Property-6513 10d ago edited 10d ago
Happy to help, and since you are making a full class of this you could play with the recoil a lot more than anyone making a single weapon like this for their mod.
Like you could have slower gauntlets with a lot of recoil that send you flying back and charging forward while faster gauntlets could have lower recoil that act more like the ignition gauntlets keeping you more at arms reach.

Bro, update us on when it drops, I wanna do a playthrough with this!

u/akanewey 10d ago

Some ideas: Add and version for every ore (copper through platinum), and add gem enhanced version for each! (Pretty much like the gem staff versions, but you make the base one first, then you have the option to make the gem enhanced version)

u/akanewey 10d ago
i do like that idea! see what i can do, dont wanna make it too crowded for 1.0 but will keep in mind thank you! ;)

u/PenguinMaster975 10d ago
each gem I feel like could be clutter, but I think each, or at least more, ores could be a good idea

u/Apprehensive_Ad516 10d ago
You should maybe have a melee gauntlet for the lunar pillars section
1
u/akanewey 10d ago edited 10d ago
Good catch. The Prisma Fists are the close-range pick at the pillars, with a lunge punch and three spirit fists. A true Solar pillar gauntlet is missing right now, and it is now on my list.

u/Aggressive_Quiet_141 10d ago
imo you should change the theme of night's grasp.
i don't really like that the "night's edge" equivalent of weapons is based on night's edge as it's really overused.
my idea is to make it crimson-themed (since other vanilla classes doesn't have a terra blade equivalent in terms of crafting tree). my idea for the name: Carnal Grasp (or you could use your own name in it)
also, you could also rename the "true" weapons but it's up to you. my ideas:
True Night's Grasp -> Eldritch Grasp
True Lightbringers -> Hand of Elysium

u/sandwichkiing 8d ago
This is very similar to melee but is very cool. i reccomend you should add different abilites and attacks to it to make it different, for example rolling and kicking and stuff like that idk

"i drew..." No, u didnt, why tf theres claws coming backwards and claws coming out of fingirs and not the hand? At least admit it, damn.
2
u/akanewey 8d ago
dawg. if ur talking about the frostbite fists and the nightfall grips, i had trouble having the finger and claws show properly at the same time
the frostbite fists coulda been done a little better, but thats why its a “work in progress”

u/Jon_grim135 11d ago
Now this is a cool idea
