Frequently asked

How is DPS calculated in Terraria?

DPS is damage per second: (base damage × attacks per second), then scaled by average crit — damage × (1 + crit chance ÷ 100). Attacks per second is 60 ÷ the weapon's use time in ticks. This calculator applies your prefix, crit chance and damage buffs on top.

Does this calculator include prefixes and buffs?

Yes. Pick a prefix (Mythical, Legendary, Unreal, etc.) and add crit and damage buffs; the DPS updates live for the selected weapon.

Why is my in-game DPS different?

In-game DPS also depends on enemy defense, armor penetration, projectile count, on-hit effects and how many hits actually land. This tool shows theoretical single-target DPS before those factors.
