Talk:Terraria Guy vs Steve/@comment-27701745-20160311020420

Terrarian with something as weak as demonite and crimtane armor (If steve is using non-enchanted diamond gear) to molten armor (If steve is using enchanted diamond gear) can beat steve:

It takes a long time for Steve to mine obsidian with a normal diamond pick, while it takes a  much, much shorter time for Terrarian to mine obsidian with a nightmare/crimtane pickaxe. Terrarian's molten pickaxe can INSTANTLY shatter obsidian, although. An enchanted diamond pickaxe takes a longer time to destroy obsidian than a nightmare or crimtane pickaxe.

Now that this is taken into mind, it's probable that demonite/crimtane gear is slightly stronger than unenchanted diamond. But there's more to that:

if terrarian is utilizing molten gear, it's a complete stomp in his favor. Since hellstone CANNOT be obstructed by explosives until hardmode, and there's no limit to that rule about "you can take several amounts of explosives". It can withstand steve's attacks if it is forged into molten armor.

Since a hellstone ingot is crafted with 1 obsidian, which is hard for steve to mine and takes a bunch of TNT to destroy, with 3 hellstone. This makes the "Stomp in terrarian's favor" even more potent now.

If terrarian were to make a molten greatsword or night's edge. Then it'd be time for steve to say goodbye, I suppose.
