The sandbox-Metroidvania Terraria already has a lot of content, but the popular Calamity mod adds even more. From new enemies and bosses to the inclusion of a class system, Calamity brings a lot to the earthly side while providing new ways to approach these challenges. Calamity’s melee class is called Warrior and can be decked out with various gear to maximize your investment. Here are the best builds for Calamity Warriors, from the very start of the game until you face Lord of the Moon himself.

Pre-Hardmode Warrior Build
Before Hardcore is covered, players won’t get much by dedicating their team slots to a singular class. The real advantage of the class systems will come after completing all three mechanical bosses, so find the most powerful weapon and get used to the movement and combat of this 2D title. Still, it’s important to note the melee BiS, and warrior is all about melee.

Once Hardmode is started, the actual gameplay begins. Life Fruit can be found deeper in the jungle, effectively granting a total of 500 health. Taking on mech bosses like a Warrior is the last thorn in the side of this class, so prepare for some brutal combat with these three until the Warrior class starts to shine.
- evil pestle
- This weapon increases damage to each enemy it kills, providing up to ten stacks. The bad news is that if you get hit, you’ll lose a full stack of damage. if you turn off the weapon, you will lose all damage stacks.

- Philolanguage
- A decent alternative to evil pestle, Bladetongue fires Ichor at enemies hit, tearing through their defense when it hits. Reforge it into a Legendary mod and try to time your hits so it hits larger enemies multiple times, dealing multiple ichor projectiles.

- palladium armor
- This is technically the second most powerful armor set for the robot trio, but a full set provides a fast healing buff when hitting an enemy. Using it wisely means you can stay at full health effectively, as long as you’re not prone to constantly taking damage.

From Plantera to Golem, the way to increase your strength is relatively simple, if at all necessary. However, once the Golem is down and you’ve countered the Martian invasion for some space-age technology, you’re looking at the pre-lunar stage: the Moon Lord is near.
- Omniblade
- With an arc of nearly 180 degrees when swinging, a 49% critical hit chance, and a very fast use speed, the Omniblade is a brilliant weapon that can cut through just about anything.
