    Hey, I just want to let everyone know, Yharim's Insignia was just reworked today into Ascendant Insignia, Which no longer gives ANY melee buffs and instead now gives a: 30% increased flight time, 10% increase to movement and jump speed, and multiplies movement acceleration by 1.1x. Ascendant Insignia also has the ability to give you infinite flight time for 4 seconds with a cooldown of 40 seconds. I just saw calamity update and saw these changes and decided to let some of yall know because idk if this accessory is the best for melee anymore. Anyways, have a great day and play some Terraria!

    to do skeltron you can make skyline wings wich are super useful instead of bundle of baloons, and you can already make the Terraspark boots. With the unlock of reforge you can easily keep the Bladecrest Oathsword who is a prett good weapon and the first homing projectiles type.

    you also can get ornate shield on pre-third mech boss which on my opinion is better for dodging, that's why you get dash accesories firstly.
