I have no clue if this video will do well.

    I actually had to reupload this since I forgot to chop off the music excess at the end.
    YouTube takes like 30 seconds to process my video on upload but trimming it takes like 3 hours. Eek.
  • @tundcwe123
    Now count how strong those frames are, since they can stop the weapon of mass destruction without any damage to you.
  • @SpiderJAAM
    And this it's why Brain of Confusion it's so good, you can add that dodge to other dodging accessories and the Star Necklace for ridiculous inmunities from time to time.
  • I remember back when the destroyer would spawn in a clump off screen instead of spawning one segment at a time, and I would race to the clump with my adamantine glaive to deal massive damage by piercing all the segments at once. I realize this is barely relevant.
  • I'd love a followup video talking about how summons were messed up with i-frames, and which ones got fixed in 1.4.4!
  • @aBlackMage
    I read the patch notes for 1.4.4 and saw all the immunity changes but had no idea what they meant. Now I do, thank you for the concise explanation!
  • @Adventurer32
    Great explanation of the difference between global, static, and local iframes! Haven't seen a single other good video explaining the topic on YouTube

    To add to the Hallowed armor part, stacking Brain of Confusion and Master Ninja Gear / Black Belt is even more powerful than it would seem, as in ADDITIONALLY to the durations stacking, Hallowed armor WONT proc if a dodge procs first, meaning a 25% chance to dodge also improves Holy Dodge proportionally. This was especially broken before 1.4.4 where it worked on the Empress of Light, but is still one of the best strategies for general Hardcore runs. It's one of the few areas where the Brain of Confusion is flat out better than the Worm Scarf.

    finally, a video breaking down all iframe types made by a actual youtuber, iframes in terraria are probably the most misunderstood part of the game, thank you for covering this!!!
  • @lissstar5423
    Informative and interesting trivia, a good video. As a loyal fan I would like to ask for a comprehensive report video on the old ones army, as I don't fully understand it despite having battled it a few times. 👍
  • @galaxyf0x
    very awesome and informative video. thank you. keep the content up mate.
  • @Victoria_Huot
    This is actually useful thank you I’m planning a no immunity frames playthrough and I’m trying to figure out what weapons would be great and understanding what changed helps
  • @welfolk
    Awesome, this 3 minute video was so informational thank you
  • Immunity frames are the perfect counterpoint to people claiming tanking isn't viable. Like, paired with other survival stats and the right setup, you can literally go idle and still defeat moon lord with maximized dodge chance.
  • @cazmatism
    NOOOO I was going to do this as an epic comeback video when I got back I am cryintg

    This is a really good video to explain the basics of iframes, gg on such good content
  • @styx64
    This video was actually very interesting to watch! Keep it up
