TL;DR:
The optimal Terraria 1.4 Summoner build relies on the Stardust armor set paired with the Zenith sword, Terraprisma, Stardust Dragon Staff, and a specific combination of accessories to maximize minion capacity and overall damage output.
● Crafting the full Stardust armor set at the Ancient Manipulator requires 45 Stardust Fragments and 36 Luminite Bars, rewarding you with a permanent Stardust Guardian, a 66% boost to minion damage, and a maximum capacity of 11 simultaneous minions.
● The Terraprisma, obtained by defeating the Empress of Light in the Hallow, is the most effective weapon for clearing enemy hordes, while the Stardust Dragon Staff is better suited for concentrating damage on solitary targets like formidable bosses.
● To optimize attack power, equip the Celestial Shell, Destroyer Emblem, Avenger Emblem, and Summoner Emblem alongside the Papyrus Scarab and Necromantic Scroll, which specifically stack together to grant additional summon minions and increased damage.

If you're seeking the best build for this class, this guide will give you a strong set of equipment and information on where to get them and how to make them.
With this Summoner build, you'll get a lot of strong summon weapons and armor, as well as several accessories with a lot of damage potential.
Armor: Stardust Set
The Stardust armor set is presently the strongest option for the Summoner because of its inherent ability to augment summon weapons, which is important for this class.
Three things are included in the set:
- Helmet made with stardust
- Plate with a Stardust Pattern
- Leggings with a Stardust Pattern
Each item requires the use of two distinct kinds of resources in varying quantities:
- There are a total of 45 Stardust Fragments
- There are a total of 36. Luminite Bars are a kind of luminite that emits light
When the Lunar Events are unlocked after defeating the Lunatic Cultist monster in the Dungeon, Stardust Fragments may be gathered from the Stardust Pillar. The Lunar Events can be accessed by visiting the Stardust Pillar.
You will need a total of 45x Stardust Fragments to complete all three items in the Stardust set.
Luminite Bars are made from Luminite, a substance dropped by the Moon Lord monster and maybe fashioned into various shapes and sizes.
At the Ancient Manipulator crafting station, Luminite may be melted down to form bars of light. The Stardust armor will need a total of 36x Luminite Bars to complete.
For each set of armor, the following is an accurate breakdown of all of the materials that will be required:
Item:
- Stardust Helmet
- Stardust Leggings
- Stardust Plate
Recipe
- 10x Stardust Fragment
- 8x Luminite Bar
- 15x Stardust Fragment
- 12x Luminite Bar
- 20x Stardust Fragment
- 16x Luminite Bar
An Ancient Manipulator is also a place where you may construct Stardust Armor.
The main advantages are as follows:
When you finish the set, you will get a permanent companion in the shape of Stardust Guardian, who will immediately fight any hostile creatures or NPCs who come into contact with you. The Guardian now hits adversaries with a torrent of devastating punches, thanks to the 1.4 update.
The following bonuses are awarded upon completing the set:
- +66% minion damage
- +5 minion capacity
With a full set plus the additional perks included in this setup, you will be able to summon a total of 11 minions at a time. The attacking capability of the armor more than makes up for the relatively weak protection capabilities of the armor.
Stardust Dragon Stuff: Zenith; Terraprisma; and Stardust
Zenith Sword
Summoners that prefer to depend on powerful offensive weapons should use Zenith, Terraria's ultimate sword.
A total of 10 additional swords from the game are required to make this one. They're all here:
- Terra Blade
- Meowmere
- Star Wrath
- Influx Waver
- Horseman's Blade
- Seedler
- Starfury
- Bee Keeper
- Enchanted Sword
- Copper Shortsword
Moon Lord drops the majority of these words. In order to create Zenith, you must have all 10 swords in your possession.
Terraprisma
This is the most effective summon weapon in a 1.14 update and the newest.
As an alternative to sending forth hordes of minions, it merely multiplies its own number, allowing it to take on a larger number of foes at once.
The Empress of Light may be defeated in the Hallow to gain this weapon. Using this guide, you'll learn all you need to know about this battle.
Stardust Dragon Staff
A flying dragon is summoned by this powerful summon weapon. Reusing the Stardust Dragon Staff does not create a new Stardust Dragon, as is the case with other summoning weapons.
While Zenith & Terraprisma are better at dealing with hordes of adversaries, the staff is better at dealing with solitary targets, including such bosses or formidable enemies.
You may use 18x Stardust Fragments to make a Stardust Dragon Staff at the Ancient Manipulator.
Summoner Accessories
Summoner Emblem
Summon weapon minions already have a lot of power, but the Summoner Emblem boosts their damage output by an additional 15% if used.
The Wall of Flesh boss can be found in The Underworld and drops this item.
The Avenger's Crest
The damage of the weapons must be increased since you'll be employing a variety of weapons, such as summon weapons. All of your weapons get a 12% boost in damage thanks to this accessory.
The following formula may be used to make an Avenger Emblem in the Tinkerer's Workshop:
- 1x Warrior Emblem
- 5x Soul of Might
- 5x Soul of Sight
- 5x Soul of Fright
Destroyer Emblem
It gives your character a benefit in terms of damage. It raises your critical hit probability by 8% while increasing your total damage output by 10%.
The Avenger Emblem and the Eye of the Golem may be used to make the Destroyer Emblem in the Tinkerer's Workshop.
Necromantic Scroll
Due to the addition of this item, your summoned minions will have an additional one, and their summon damage will increase by 10%.
During the Pumpkin Moon event, a mini-boss named Mourning Wood drops a Necromantic Scroll.
Papyrus Scarab
The Necromantic scroll stacks with this item, which grants an additional summon minion and a 15% boost to summon damage.
The Tinkerer's Workshop's Necromantic Scroll & Hercules Beetle may make Papyrus Scarab.
Celestial Shell
The last item is perhaps the most crucial in enhancing your character's appearance. Your damage, melee speed, critical hit chance, life regen, defense, and mining speed are all boosted.
The Tinkerer's Workshop has Celestial Stone & Moon Shell, which may be used to make this magnificent item.
