Flying enemies

Flying enemies are enemies that can move freely in both x and y axis while in air. Some of them can be difficult to fight, especially before Hardmode, before the player can obtain wings. These enemies can be more easily fought with ranged weapons like guns and bows.

Tips

• Ranged enemies can be taken down with ranged weapons like guns, bows and spears, while the melee ones can be defeated using broadswords.
• Weapons that inflict damaging debuffs (like On Fire!) are useful against these enemies, as they will take damage slowly even if they fly away.
