Adamantite Repeater vs Hallowed Repeater

Ranged weapons · early-hardmode tier

The verdict

With crit factored in, Hallowed Repeater puts out 183.5 DPS against 145.6 for Adamantite Repeater — about 26% more damage per second. Base hits are Adamantite Repeater 42 vs Hallowed Repeater 50, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.

Hallowed Repeater swings faster at a 17-tick use time versus 18, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.

Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
