 * Solar Breastplate melee damage bonus increased from 22% to 29%
 * Each piece of the set now gives 1 HP/s regen
 * Instead of 30% damage reduction whenever you have charges, you now have 12% damage reduction at all times, and 20% additional damage reduction while charges are active. In practice, this is roughly equivalent to the same 30% it used to give due to how the two values are multiplied.
 * Recharge time between shield charges reduced by 1 second


 * Stardust armor
 * Stardust Guardian now has a much more vigorous and aggressive attack, and he will attack automatically without prompting. All resemblance to a certain anime is purely coincidental.

Melee Weapons

 * Shortswords
 * Shortswords can now be used in all directions, not just forward
 * Gold Shortsword damage increased from 11 to 12


 * Flails
 * Flails now have entirely new behavior, and a few different functionality modes.
 * If you click and hold the mouse button, they will swing around rapidly, doing low knockback and hitting rapidly in a small circle around you.
 * If you click and use them normally, you will shoot them forward similar to how they use to be used, but they will move much faster than they did before. The damage dealt is double in this mode.
 * Finally, if you click while it is in midair after having shot it forward, it will drop suddenly and lay on the ground. This can be used as a stationary damaging obstacle like a Spiky Ball on enemies walking towards you.
 * Some flails have had some stat tweaks to fit with this new setup, such as having slightly longer or shorter range, but generally speaking, all of them should perform better than before.

 * Increased Frostburn chance from 50% to 100%


 * Crystal Storm
 * Damage increased from 25 to 32

 * Poison Staff
 * Note: Previously, due to piercing immunity frames, only one projectile from each shot would hit each target, resulting in a lot of lost damage. We've implemented a system that allows ALL of the projectiles to hit a target, dramatically improving its shotgun-like functionality. However, to offset this gain, it has had to have some of its stats reduced. On the whole, this should now be a stronger weapon, however.
 * Damage decreased from 48 to 43

 * Projectiles now have a limited range

 * Damage decreased from 63 to 44
 * Reduced number of enemies that each projectile can hit from 7 to 5
 * Applies a 25% damage penalty to the next hit for each enemy a projectile pierces
 * Now has a range before projectiles die, 50% longer than Poison Staff's


 * Wasp Gun
 * Note: This may sound like a nerf on paper, but it trades "hit count" for total damage, and will actually result in dramatically more DPS for the Wasp Gun. Less Wasps, more damage.
 * Damage increased from 21 to 31
 * Use time increased from 11 to 18
 * Wasps can now bounce/pierce only 3 times instead of 4
 * Wasps per Cast: Reduced to an average of 3

 * Spectre Staff
 * Damage decreased from 72 to 65
 * Each projectile can now hit up to 3 times, rather than only once
 * Mana cost increased from 11 to 15


 * Staff of Earth
 * Actual damage mostly unchanged, but lists its "max speed" damage now rather than its "low speed" damage
 * Now has a 20% critical chance
 * Mana Cost increased from 15 to 18
 * Use time decreased from 40 to 24
 * Projectile speed greatly increased, as a result, has better range and much harder to fall below the minimum threshold to maintain maximum damage

 * After this, it will shoot the laser beam, which is unchanged from the original implementation
 * You can also quick-fire pellets without charging. The fire rate of these pellets is much higher than the previous implementation.
 * The mana cost of charging is unchanged, however, quick firing will naturally consume more mana as the fire rate has increased significantly.


 * Nebula Blaze
 * Use time decreased from 15 to 12
 * Mana cost decreased from 18 to 12

Summons

 * Summoned minions now adjust their damage dynamically based on your current equipment and damage buffs
 * Some (though not all) Summons now use their own damage immunity timer system. In practice, what this means is that they will no longer interfere with the use of other weapons by maxing out the enemy's immunity frames. All affected minions are set on their own damage timer to most correctly match their pre-change DPS, but some changes are to be expected comparing 1.3.5 DPS to 1.4 DPS. In general, even if there is some minor loss or gain of DPS compared to pre-change performance, it should be worth the improvement to overall performance. Examples of minions impacted by this change:
 * Slime Staff
 * Spider Staff
 * Pirate Staff
 * Optic Staff
 * Raven Staff
 * Deadly Sphere Staff
 * Stardust Dragon Staff
 * Some of the new summons also utilize this system


 * Imp Staff
 * Damage decreased from 21 to 17
 * Fire Rate increased dramatically


 * Raven Staff
 * Damage increased from 37 to 55

Accessories, Hooks, and Mounts

 * You no longer gain stacked benefits from wearing multiple Celestial Stone variants
 * In addition to its previous Confusion effect, Brain of Confusion now gives a 1/6 chance to avoid enemy attacks. Upon avoiding an attack, you will gain a temporary buff that gives 20% critical chance for a few seconds, during which time you cannot avoid additional attacks.
 * Titan Glove and its tinkers now give autoswing to all Melee Weapons (and Whips!)


 * Wing Balance has been heavily balanced across the entirety of the game.
 * With only a few exceptions, wings found at the same tier should be roughly equivalent in power. Exceptions are usually particularly hard or particularly easy to get.
 * Unfortunately, it is difficult to share exact stats for wings, partially because there are dozens of them that have been changed, and their stats don't easily translate to easily readable stats.
 * The best short summary is that over a dozen sets of wings were buffed, and that Leaf and Frozen Wings have been reduced in power, as they were too strong for their tier.
 * Other major notes:
 * Butterfly and Bee Wings can now only drop after the Mech Bosses, but their power has been increased proportionally.
 * Previously, most wings from Wall of Flesh until Golem were very similar in power, and didn't offer a lot of reason to upgrade. These have now been spread out, creating a more gradual, consistent increase in wing power across the course of the game.


 * Shrimpy Truffle now gives its increased speed and damage bonus when in the rain.
 * Basilisk Mount now has a double jump


 * Bat Hook
 * Pull In Speed decreased from 16 to 13 (This is the speed at which it pulls the player to the hook)

 * All drills and chainsaws now dig faster than their non-mechanical counterparts, but have shorter range. Additionally, optimized digging loadouts still perform better on pickaxes/axes, but drills and chainsaws will be faster on non-optimized loadouts
 * Desert Fossil can now be mined at any pickaxe power or with bombs. However, it is fragile and adjacent fossil blocks may break when you mine it, costing you some of the ore.
 * Desert Fossil based gear is now weaker because it is available sooner.
 * Hellforges now require Demonite Pickaxe or higher to break. They also now protect the tiles below them from being broken while in the Underworld. This does not apply outside of the Underworld.

 * The Well Fed buff has been divided into three tiers, with the lowest tier being equal to the original, and the strongest being 2x as strong as the original
 * All of the Food in the game, including the 50+ new Food items, have had their durations and tiers adjusted to have a more consistent reward for the difficulty of obtaining them. Short duration foods might have a higher tier, while long duration foods might have a lower tier. Find what is most efficient for you!
 * Well Fed Buff now gives a mining speed bonus
 * Invisibility Potion now has an added benefit of reducing enemy spawn rates by 20%
 * Restoration Potions no longer heal mana, but heal 10 more life for a total of 90, and induce even less Potion Sickness, now only 45 seconds

 * Cursed Inferno Debuff damage per second increased from 12 to 24 on both player and enemy versions of the debuff

 * All other sources of this debuff are intended recipients of the improved damage


 * Venom Debuff damage per second increased from 12 to 30 on both player and enemy versions of the debuff
 * Pygmy and Queen Spider Staff Venom duration decreased to mitigate the increased potency
 * Black Recluse and Sand Poacher Venom duration decreased somewhat to mitigate the increased danger to the player
 * All other sources of this debuff are intended recipients of the improved damage
