When playing as certain classes, there are these so called “metas” in the gaming world that usually means that this is the best method. It depends on the context, like meta builds, meta loadouts, meta items, meta stats etc. For Terraria, we are talking about the context of metal loadouts that helps you beat the game easily. In this guide, we will be focusing on the Summoner class, which will become amplified with the meta loadouts we will be using in this guide. If you are planning a Summoner run, then utilize this guide to bring out the best Summoner.
Terraria 1.4.4 – Summoner Setup Guide
The way this guide will go is that we will separate each setup or loadouts under each boss. Basically, you will be given the best loadout for each point in the game, no need to go for the best endgame gear because you won’t be able to reach endgame until you beat all bosses. Just focus on getting the gear that you need for each boss.
