The Destroyer is a Hardmode boss that can be fought anywhere on the surface at night.

Spawn

The Destroyer can be summoned manually using a Mechanical Worm at night in any biome. It can also spawn naturally at dusk with a chance of 10% once a Demon or Crimson Altar has been smashed, as long as it has not yet been defeated in the current world. If spawned this way, its arrival is announced by the status message: "You feel vibrations from deep below..."

Behavior

When the Destroyer spawns, it will be coiled up and its segments will be mostly folded in on each other. For ten seconds after it has spawned it will be near-invulnerable and able to fly similar to a Wyvern.

In Revengeance Mode

The Destroyer's segments are 50% larger than in vanilla. It initially exhibits movement like a typical worm enemy, burrowing through the ground and attempting to ram the player. This means that the Destroyer can only charge at the player from the ground and thus, has a maximum height it can reach in earlier phases. However, due to its extremely fast speed, this height is very large. Destroyer's top speed, fall speed, and turning speed increase as its health gets lower. When it reaches 50% health, it will begin to move more similarly to a Wyvern compared to a regular worm enemy. When it moves like this, it will move more in the air and will not use the ground to accelerate towards mid-air players. It will also have any segments with Probes change their red light to a purple one. As its health lowers, its movement during flying attacks gets more aggressive. It also gains boosts to flying speed and the duration of flying attacks at 25% and 10% health.

The Destroyer will occasionally fire lasers towards the player from each of its segments. Initially, only red lasers will be fired that inflict the On Fire! debuff for 4 seconds. At 85% health it will begin to fire green lasers which inflict Cursed Inferno for 2 seconds, and at 70% health it will begin to fire blue lasers that inflict Electrified for 1 second. It will fire lasers less frequently as its health decreases.

As it is damaged, the Destroyer's segments will spawn Probes which follow the player while shooting lasers. Once a Probe is removed from a segment, that segment will have 10 less defense. Probes are 20% larger than in vanilla. Probes will despawn if the player moves too far away.

The Destroyer enrages during the day. It moves faster and more aggressively, only fires blue lasers which accelerate faster, and its body segments take reduced damage, leaving only the head and tail vulnerable.

In Death Mode

  • The Destroyer's segments are 100% larger, and Probes are 50% larger.
  • Body segments fire lasers at a faster rate.
  • The Destroyer shoots spreads of lasers from its head if the head is facing the player.
  • Top speed, falling speed, and turning speed increase even faster as Destroyer's health lowers.
  • The Destroyer always has maximum aggression during its flying phase.
  • Extra boosts to flying speed and duration of flying attacks now occur at 40% and 20% health.
  • Probes shoot three lasers at once, with staggered velocities.

During the Boss Rush

  • Max health increased to 2,500,000 / 3,750,000 Expert Mode / 4,687,500 Revengeance Mode.
  • Sets the time to 7:30pm.
  • Laser spreads from its head have a faster velocity.
  • Permanently acts as if enraged, moving faster, giving lasers faster velocities, and only firing blue electric lasers, though its body segments are still vulnerable.
  • Probes move, accelerate, and fire lasers faster.

Aftermath

Terrain Preparation

The player should make a long arena to help avoid the Destroyer's many lasers, and to help with avoiding its charges as its health gets lower. Making it tall can also help make the first half of the fight easier.

Gearing Up

For a Normal and Expert mode guide to The Destroyer, see The Destroyer on the vanilla wiki.

Armor

  • Due to the hardmode ore rework, the best available armor depends on how many other mechs have been defeated.
  • Titan Heart armor is always available for Rogues.
  • Mollusk armor has very high stats but makes you quite slow, which can make this high-movement fight difficult.
  • Spider armor is a powerful summoner armor available from the start of hardmode.

Accessories

Weapons & Equipment

Melee

  • Swords can do immense damage to the destroyer but require being very close.
    • The Avalanche, for instance, is a strong choice, being able to shred the Destroyer in no time. However, it requires you to get near enough for the Destroyer to easily kill you.
    • The Submarine Shocker is even shorter distance but also has very high damage.
  • The Fractured Ark, despite being a pre-Hardmode weapon, does excellent damage with decent range.
  • The Fetid Baghnakhs are a high-DPS but short-range option.
  • The Axe of Purity's right click attack easily deals with probes and makes the weapon an excellent choice due to its medium range and very high DPS.

Ranger

  • Although not great in vanilla, Calamity makes the Pearlwood Bow a great choice due to the rainbows it adds, which are great at dealing with the Destroyer's many segments.
    • Do note, each time the bow is shot, the rainbows get replaced, so players might want to use this weapon sparingly or as a support weapon.
  • The Dart Rifle with Cursed Darts or the Daedalus Stormbow with Holy Arrows do high damage to the Destroyer.
  • The Sea's Searing's secondary fire is great for lasting piercing damage since the Destroyer's body straggles behind its head.
  • If the two other mechanical bosses were defeated first, the Titanium Railgun deals high damage to the Destroyer if the beam is aligned with its segments.

Mage

  • The Frigidflash Bolt is great due to its slight pierce and high damage.
  • The Nimbus Rod will do huge damage on its own but will also release many probes.
  • The Poseidon is one of the best weapons available at this stage due to its homing and piercing.
  • The Orange Zapinator is rare and unpredictable, but due to its mechanics can occasionally do enormous chunks of damage at once.

Summoner

  • The Ancient Ice Chunk is a great option because it can hit multiple segments in one clasp.
  • The Ballista Cane or its upgrade can add good DPS to the fight.

Rogue

  • The Gacruxian Mollusk is great with the many sparks it leaves in its path that can slightly home into the Destroyer.
  • The Blast Barrel is an excellent choice that can make quick work of the Destroyer if the player can make them explode and leave shrapnel on the ground.
  • If Aquatic Scourge was defeated previously, the Spent Fuel Container can be a strong option when taking advantage of the lingering radiation left by its stealth strike.
  • The Kelvin Catalyst is another solid option, albeit difficult to craft.
  • If The Twins were defeated previously, the Frequency Manipulator has strong piercing and homing capabilities.

Tips

  • The fight can generally be treated similar to a regular worm boss until the Destroyer reaches 50% health, which is where the player should be aware that it can now be much more agile in the air.
    • Remember that it will telegraph when it can fly by its segments changing from red to purple.
