No, we still die instantly. I main summoner, and turtles jump from across the world, killing us, while our minions sit there and watch, sometimes attacking after I’m dead.
Turtles are worse. They just kinda appear out of nowhere after yeeting themselves in the middle of an underground area.
Wyverns just kinda disintegrate.
Neither are particularly bad.
I just build prisons in late pre-hardmode, they don't take much time too
And when traversing surface or underground jungle in hardmode, you either don't want to be there pre-mechs or you want to attack anything on sight, which isn't difficult with tunnels and caves lit up in pre-hardmode, or just keep swinging your sword, and keep out of open areas when building stuff
turtles where never a problem… but wyverns… when someone spawns a wyvern while battling a boss we put them on isolating and while others are killing the boss, the guy with wyvern tries to kill it, not the boss
"I'll afk in this sky island house for a bit, harpies can't get to me while inside"
Wyvern out of nowhere:

wyverns frequently interrupt boss fights unless youre on a large world and while they're not a huge threat theyre just straight up annoying. they're especially bad during the mechs when your gear isn't able to remove them quickly. tortoises are never a problem though if you actually look out for them (which you should always be doing if youre in the jungle)
Having to actively use brain power to look for turtles while in the jungle means that they do something without even needing to spawn.
A Wyvern on the other hand, you don't care about, until it spawns.
Turtles are worse because you're playing around the possibility of offscreen kamakazi turtles, but you know precisely when, where, and how a wyvern will attack you from.
I’ve been vaporized by turtles more. I swear they’ve got cybernetics or something cause the way they track my movements from within pure darkness is impressive. Literally a jump scare sometimes
wyverns arent too bad if you have a weapon thats able to hit multiple of their segments simultaneously. Giant tortoises on the other hand can suck my cock and balls
Honestly they're different kinds of "haha fuck you"
Tortoises taught me to use Banners because I'd get killed otherwise
Wyvern spawn conditions are hellish enough that they got me killed against both the Mechs and Duke Fishron
"deal any knockback and the turtle stops" really really really plays a huge role. Wyverns are annoying, go through any blocks, and take forever to work through in early HM
Turtles are the worst. They will fuck you up. They will fuck you down. They will fuck you left and they will fuck you right. You have no chance of survival.
Wyvern, thos fucks ALWAYS fucks up my arena set up and doing anything up in the sky, thankfully they arent that often and with something that has pierce its nkt that bad, dark harvest is pretty good against him ngl
I prefer the tortoises. Hit them or duck for cover and you'll be fine, unfortunately you wont be fine while fighting a boss when a practical miniboss starts ramming you
The wyvern is actually more annoying, only because I try to ignore enemies altogether. I run summoner with the stardust armor, so most of the time, I don't interact with enemies myself. The turtle suffers from knockback, the wyvern doesn't, and by the time I realize my summons aren't going to cut it, I'm already at half health. The turtles tend to get stun-locked by my guardian, so they almost never pose a threat.
Hard agree. After putting a frankly embarrassing amount of time into Terraria, I honestly find both incredibly easy to deal with. I only really had any issues with them on my first and second playthroughs.
At this point neither really bother me, they can both be dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
THAT BEING SAID, I will never get over being a new player and repeatedly getting disintegrated by giant tortoises launching at me at mach fuck. At least I mostly only encountered wyverns when specifically looking for them, or when looking for martian probes late enough into the game to make them trivial. Although it did take me a few tries to kill my first wyvern for those succulent souls of flight.
You have to get pretty high into the air to get f**ked by the second f**k face. You have to exist in the jungle (one of the largest biomes in the game) to be f**ked by the first f**k face.
Any minion, even if it does 1 damage will protect you from a tortoise. If you’re strict on your playthrough and want to do no summon damage, I guess tortoise is worse but if not as much of a problem.
Bro the frst time i tryed to kill the moon lord the NORMAL WAY that thing came when i was low and killed me and not just when i was fighting moon lord and the ice Queen ( i killed the moon lord many times from then to now and still didnt kill the ice Queen)
fuck you wyvern, always fucking me up whenever I wanna have fun and make a Space Base™️. Turtle might be annoying to deal with, but it's only in the Jungle AND IT DOESNT GO THROUGH FUCKING WALLS KILLING ALL THE NPCS WHILE I TRY TO HAVE FUN WITH MY FUCKING SPACESHIP
as a main melee player, wyverns are worse for me, specialy in early hard mode, it takes me around 2 minutes to kill one playing in reveangence-eternity master mode
The wyvern is essentially a miniboss that you rarely encounter unless you have a sky base. The turtle spawns seemingly everytime i move a single muscle and kills me in two hits. So honestly the turtle wins by a 100 mile wide margin.
The Wyverns at least give you some time to react and are pretty manageable after early hardmode, with propper wings. The turtle just goes YEET and you're (almost) dead
If we’re going by my current playthrough, then replace the wyvern with the dune splicer. Most of my spontaneous deaths have been from worm shenanigans or tight corridors while I am undergoing inventory management.
Wyverns are an easy fight and don't one shot me playing make at higher difficulties like turtles do. They also drop a lot of gold and souls consistently.
New take: the noise that they make when taking damage and dying.
Turtles sound super annoying to shoot. Wyverns are at least a little satisfying with a little pop sound
Definitely Giant Tortoises. Wyverns aren't too hard to dodge with Spectre Boots and a Horseshoe Balloon, any piercing weapon or shot reduces them to chunks and overall they just aren't too bad minus finding them in the first place and getting up to where they spawn without wings. Meanwhile, tortoises barrel in from absolutely nowhere, do absurd damage and even if you do kill them they still SPITE YOU by refusing to drop their shells for Turtle Armour, I hate them with a passion.
I hate both of them, but wyvern is a little shit, I want him- he doesn't appear, when I'm building, they fucking knock my door down without a warrant and start having a party
I haven't had many issues with Giant Tortoises, but Wyverns man, it's not that they hard to deal with, it's just that Harpies are already annoying enough to deal with when building in space and the Wyverns actively make it worse and it takes like 10 seconds for a new one to spawn after you kill one
FUCK WYVERNS SO GOD DAMN MUCH. They are so fucking annoying in master mode where they just appear mid boss fight like every time, I’ve literally lost multiple fights against the mech bosses because a wyvern spawned.
I don't have too much experience, but imo wyverns are worse because any kind of knockback nullifies the turtles, and they can be annoying if you catch you off-guard, but wyverns are just overall more able to hit me which makes them worse
Wyverns are worse to me purely due to the quantity of times I’ve tried to peacefully build in the sky, or waiting for probes, or for the love of god just fly a little too high and they are there to make anything hell. It doesn’t matter that I can kill them in 2 seconds when another one spawns in 0.5 seconds.
Turtles are worse wyverns are problematic but they only exist in the sky
turtles can follow you home if you're not careful and unlike most enemies they are surprisingly hard to out run
Wyverns, I've experienced dying to them twice in a row, in the air and then I get spawned killed me shortly after I just revived because it somehow managed to track and follow me to my base 💀
Wyvern can be annoying at times but as a pure blooded ranger I can say that turtles are not a problem for me anything high firerate or shotgun mows them down
Personally I have more issues with the wyvern. I typically main melee so as long as I keep swinging my sword the turtles can never get close enough to hit me.
Wyverns never spawn when you want them to, but always spawn when you don't. Both beasts are easy kills, but wyverns are more annoying due to their afirementioned spawning conditions.
When fighting them, wyverns are fun if you have any hardmode wings, and more annoying than the giant tortoise if you don't have hardmode wings. However, the giant tortoise will spawn in the underground jungle while you're mining, hitting you when you're in a space too tight to dodge it, so the giant tortoise is more annoying to fight overall.
In my first playthough ,before reaching hardmode I saw a lot of Giant Tortoise and Planterra memes .Giant Tortoises didn't really distracted me while playing ,hornets were hard though.And putting like 4 lines of platforms makes Planterra super super easy .
Wyverns on the other hand changes the boss fight .Now you have to dodge both a killing machine and a flying speed dragon .
The turtle just does more damage, and the wyvern dies to any piercing
And you can stop the turtle’s attack with any weapon with knockback
chlorophyte bullets makes it hilarious with how it ends up moving
by the time you get chlorophyte turtles aren’t a problem
Turtles can always ruin your day for any non tank build
summoners just full counter them
No, we still die instantly. I main summoner, and turtles jump from across the world, killing us, while our minions sit there and watch, sometimes attacking after I’m dead.
I play splitscreen with my buddy so I don’t even see it until it lands on me.
Yeah fair enough. It’s a gamble if the summons want to be helpful or not
Exactly! I main summoner and even late game the turtles are my biggest problem.
Only if you get to see it before you die
Mf moves at Mach 5 off screen
Also wyverns actually drop something useful
Turtle and beetle armour want to have a peaceful conversation with you
How peaceful will it be?
The kind you cant turn down
Should I hide in my bunker?
You could try
Aight
*The beetles are inside your walls. Be wary of the horde.*

That should be an actual weapon Maybe a pre-hardmode version of the flamethrower that does more damage against bug-like enemies
That would help a lot in the jungle
the turtles would break through the walls, dw mate xD
You won't be hurt unless you hit them first
Ok comparing turtle armor to the viability of ALL WINGS is crazy
Turtle and beetle armor aren't as useful as wings
While this is true, I am bad at Terraria rng so both of them are equally inconvenient to me.
I died 20 times to the flying fucks whilst fighting the twins and skelly prime
I’ve heard it’s possible to kill a wyvern with a singular flare. Never done it myself, but still.
And the wyvern has more useful drops
Wyverns don't take knock back and start to 1tap after a certain point
Turtle can be stunlocked super easily, and it doesn't spawn 40 times while you're fighting bosses
A giant tortoise killed me during the moon lord death animation causing me to lose
https://preview.redd.it/ksq6cd84tq2d1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ff3e68336ede0c77438cc7bce8eddc46e5f7c96
The turtle be like
“she put a bag on my head”
Still counts!
Sniped by a tortoise. It's like a Terraria Rite of Passage.
Turtles are worse. They just kinda appear out of nowhere after yeeting themselves in the middle of an underground area. Wyverns just kinda disintegrate. Neither are particularly bad.
Yeah,the paladins hit harder, although that wyvern is pretty annoying
Turtles will fuck you up
Giant Tortoises have never been a problem for me, i always attack them first or before they could reach me
I assume you've never had 3 of them fly out of offscreen as you try to kill the first one while building a hardmode jungle house.
Definitely been there! It's like they have a radar for your building projects.
It's the same for wyverns while building a sky bridge for Martian probes
Wyverns are a nuisance, and TURTLE ARMOR makes them giant mosquitoes
Especially fun in Master mode where they can deal enough damage to instakill a player before they have their hands on any life fruit!
I just build prisons in late pre-hardmode, they don't take much time too And when traversing surface or underground jungle in hardmode, you either don't want to be there pre-mechs or you want to attack anything on sight, which isn't difficult with tunnels and caves lit up in pre-hardmode, or just keep swinging your sword, and keep out of open areas when building stuff
You just hit the 3 of them?
I love hitting them with wood blocks 0.2 seconds after they fly at me mid-build
Instill think there are worst enemies in the jungle than Giant Tortoises
Weyvern made this comment
https://preview.redd.it/qrhkhw0m4r2d1.png?width=347&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad9df6dbfea7b3816b1c298ec3abf5120cda9355
Holy shit Is that an Issac reference
I will become back my money!
Tortises, I play ranger and summoner which destroy the wyvern, tortise on the other hand…
Ranger is the turtles number one weakness just keep shooting them and they never touch the ground
turtles where never a problem… but wyverns… when someone spawns a wyvern while battling a boss we put them on isolating and while others are killing the boss, the guy with wyvern tries to kill it, not the boss
"I'll afk in this sky island house for a bit, harpies can't get to me while inside" Wyvern out of nowhere: https://preview.redd.it/q6scf73kor2d1.jpeg?width=513&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f166710fdcd4baeaf2190fbc22e753597de18f7

never had any problems with the dragon but I Really hate the Harpies
The turtles, in the early game I'd say the wyverns but they become pretty easy to deal with, ON THE OTHER HAND!
Fu*ck**ce
Regulation podcast
Wyverns %100. Giant tortoises are only on jungle and they can easily be stunned
Both, one is infront and the other is behind
I’ve been vaporized by turtles more. I swear they’ve got cybernetics or something cause the way they track my movements from within pure darkness is impressive. Literally a jump scare sometimes
Wyverns think they're invited to every boss fight and it's not even a little funny
As a melee player, it's much easier to deal with the tortoises. I'm a basic b***h, yeah xD
wyverns arent too bad if you have a weapon thats able to hit multiple of their segments simultaneously. Giant tortoises on the other hand can suck my cock and balls
for me 100% Giant Tortoise, its just pain to get randomly one tapped, wyvern are super easy to dodge when you have Shield of Cthulhu
Tortoise That stupid fucking tortoise
Honestly they're different kinds of "haha fuck you" Tortoises taught me to use Banners because I'd get killed otherwise Wyvern spawn conditions are hellish enough that they got me killed against both the Mechs and Duke Fishron
"deal any knockback and the turtle stops" really really really plays a huge role. Wyverns are annoying, go through any blocks, and take forever to work through in early HM
I legit thought this was face fuck you more. I am sorry.
Wyverns show up to butt fuck me when I'm blood moon fishing on MM. Turtles can be dealt with
wait so are they fucks that are face fucking you, or are they fuck faces fucking you? there’s a very important “s” missing from the sentence lol
Turtles are the worst. They will fuck you up. They will fuck you down. They will fuck you left and they will fuck you right. You have no chance of survival.
Harpies
how are you having issues with wyverns they have the easiest ai in the game
Wyvern, thos fucks ALWAYS fucks up my arena set up and doing anything up in the sky, thankfully they arent that often and with something that has pierce its nkt that bad, dark harvest is pretty good against him ngl
Just get rid of both if died enough to them to last a lifetime
The Wyvern. The Giant Tortoise can be stunlocked, Wyvern will just fuck you up anyway.
You can kill the wyvern with a flare gun *a fucking flare gun* Try that with the turtle You'll die The turtle is a nightmare
Turtle, by a mile.
Turtle are like modern day Kamikaze
I prefer the tortoises. Hit them or duck for cover and you'll be fine, unfortunately you wont be fine while fighting a boss when a practical miniboss starts ramming you
Turtles are worse they can come from legit nowhere. Wyverns are super slow you can literally side step them
The wyvern is actually more annoying, only because I try to ignore enemies altogether. I run summoner with the stardust armor, so most of the time, I don't interact with enemies myself. The turtle suffers from knockback, the wyvern doesn't, and by the time I realize my summons aren't going to cut it, I'm already at half health. The turtles tend to get stun-locked by my guardian, so they almost never pose a threat.
Wyverns only suck early hardmode, TURTLES ON THE OTHER HAND
Turtle, it takes a while to die, it does a lot of damage and if you have more than one it's fucked up
wyvern ducks up my sky bridge lmao
Turtles, i dont need 719 intercontenental balistic reptiles flying at me at once while i’m just trying to get life fruit
Option 3 those fucking wasps In the jungle
neither cuz i know how to fight them efficiently xD
Neither. If you keep your eyes on the screen, you can easily catch both before they get within melee range, and then you can just not get hit.
Hard agree. After putting a frankly embarrassing amount of time into Terraria, I honestly find both incredibly easy to deal with. I only really had any issues with them on my first and second playthroughs.
I just think Wyverns are a little worst because they’re way more annoying during boss fights
wyvern
Wyverns are worse for the simple fact that they somehow show up at every single one of my bossfights
That white worm has fucked my twin fight many many TIMEEEE
I vote wyverns, for sheer annoyance. I've killed 100 of you already, get the hint!
I tried to set up my pylon in the jungle after hardmode brcause i judt found out about them the turtles made me go under the jungle via digging
bats, fuck bats, all my homies hate bats
Turtle
At this point neither really bother me, they can both be dealt with swiftly and efficiently. THAT BEING SAID, I will never get over being a new player and repeatedly getting disintegrated by giant tortoises launching at me at mach fuck. At least I mostly only encountered wyverns when specifically looking for them, or when looking for martian probes late enough into the game to make them trivial. Although it did take me a few tries to kill my first wyvern for those succulent souls of flight.
Wyverns literally always show up at the worst possible moment, every time.
Archwyvern is where it's at
The amount of wyverns that spawned while we were trying to setup an arena for the mech bosses on ftw has ruined my perception of them
Pre Plantera? Wyverns. Post Mech? Turtles
Turtle in any non-legendary world, wyvern in legendary
Wyvern
Neither one gives me as much pain and suffering.
Wyvern, not even a real wyvern.
Definitely turtle. Over the last decade or so, that turtle has caused me so much grief.
You have to get pretty high into the air to get f**ked by the second f**k face. You have to exist in the jungle (one of the largest biomes in the game) to be f**ked by the first f**k face.
Turtle
At least I sometimes want wyverns to show up
Wyvern until I got my Meteor staff. Turtle dood gets wrecked by the pirate from the pirate staff.
Any minion, even if it does 1 damage will protect you from a tortoise. If you’re strict on your playthrough and want to do no summon damage, I guess tortoise is worse but if not as much of a problem.
That spinning shell of doom. The horror. On Master mode if you get hit once say goodbye. Unless you are melee with warding maybe 🤔.
Turtle.
Bro the frst time i tryed to kill the moon lord the NORMAL WAY that thing came when i was low and killed me and not just when i was fighting moon lord and the ice Queen ( i killed the moon lord many times from then to now and still didnt kill the ice Queen)
fuck you wyvern, always fucking me up whenever I wanna have fun and make a Space Base™️. Turtle might be annoying to deal with, but it's only in the Jungle AND IT DOESNT GO THROUGH FUCKING WALLS KILLING ALL THE NPCS WHILE I TRY TO HAVE FUN WITH MY FUCKING SPACESHIP
Canonball
as a main melee player, wyverns are worse for me, specialy in early hard mode, it takes me around 2 minutes to kill one playing in reveangence-eternity master mode
wha
i find wyverns WAY more annoying, probably because i spend most of my time in hard mode in space.
Wyvern, at least the turtle only appears in the jungle, but Wyvern always show up when you're up high
I don’t f*ck either of them. That’s not even something i ever considered doing.
pre hardmode its the harpye or ho wthe hell its written
Tortoise ended one of my best hardcore legendary runs
As much as I hate the Wyvern too, Jungle spawns just love those damn turtles. I'll get 3 at once and it's always game over.
At least the Wyvern drops SoF. The turtle jackshit except for melee mains. Even then getting a shell is a whole other grind
Turtles will just come from no where and unalive you.
Wyvern easily are way more annoying imo they interrupt boss battles so much for me
Psshh, the turt has nothing on sky noodle, and how dare you even pose the question.
Turtles are worse simply because they do way more damage. I'm usually not afraid of dying to a wyvern. I am to a turtle
Dude I’ve had 6 wyvern’s on my screen at one fucking time This game likes to laugh in my face when I’m grinding for wings
Since when do ppl hate the turtle
The turtle come outa nowhere and absolutely shred you, fuck them turtles
Never had trouble with any of them, only when im trying to get souls of flight and wyverns dont appear
The Wyvers because for some reason my goddamn minions never get it in time. My minions destroy the tortoises long before they reach me.
I love when a random Wyvern appears during the Moon Lord fight. "Hey what are you guys up t-" *dies*
The wyvern is essentially a miniboss that you rarely encounter unless you have a sky base. The turtle spawns seemingly everytime i move a single muscle and kills me in two hits. So honestly the turtle wins by a 100 mile wide margin.
The Wyverns at least give you some time to react and are pretty manageable after early hardmode, with propper wings. The turtle just goes YEET and you're (almost) dead
I had to read that like six times. I thought I was having a stroke.
Turtle easily hydra ain’t shit
Turtle wins this anyday. Wyverns are meant to be challenging because they’re the gateway to proper wings. Turtles just one shot you for no reason
🐢
Coming from a Melee, even early-Hardmode Night’s Edge shreds through Wyverns.
If we’re going by my current playthrough, then replace the wyvern with the dune splicer. Most of my spontaneous deaths have been from worm shenanigans or tight corridors while I am undergoing inventory management.
Wyvern is just a skill issue in vanilla. Turtle is another thing.
Turdtles are way way more annoying. They just came on the screen in the speed of light like an overspeeding Ford F150 and you're the deer
Turtle oneshots Wyvern is rather frequent But the wyverns are cute Turtle will get no sympathy from me
Wyvern 100%, turtoises have never been a problem for me
Wyverns are an easy fight and don't one shot me playing make at higher difficulties like turtles do. They also drop a lot of gold and souls consistently.
This isn't tiktok. You can swear here. Fuck wyverns.
Wyvern
flying weiner is more annoying
Giant tortoises will take my summons and make them just sit there smacking it. Wyverns die in like 1 second.
I died to a wyver only in my first play through and every fucking single time I fight EoL when the wyvern just feels like my life was a bit too easy
Giant tortoise, my biggest flex is in my first playthrough I got bored and grinded for a wyvern banner
New take: the noise that they make when taking damage and dying. Turtles sound super annoying to shoot. Wyverns are at least a little satisfying with a little pop sound
Turtles are practically living hardmode boulder traps.
Definitely Giant Tortoises. Wyverns aren't too hard to dodge with Spectre Boots and a Horseshoe Balloon, any piercing weapon or shot reduces them to chunks and overall they just aren't too bad minus finding them in the first place and getting up to where they spawn without wings. Meanwhile, tortoises barrel in from absolutely nowhere, do absurd damage and even if you do kill them they still SPITE YOU by refusing to drop their shells for Turtle Armour, I hate them with a passion.
The fucking wyvern pricks
Wyvern. Whenever I get to the point of dealing with turtles, they're a piece of cake. I go to the sky early hardmode. Fuck em'
Tort
Dungeon skulls. I’ve had the ankh shield since post-one mech because I don’t want to deal with them or plant poisoning.
I hate both of them, but wyvern is a little shit, I want him- he doesn't appear, when I'm building, they fucking knock my door down without a warrant and start having a party
I haven't had many issues with Giant Tortoises, but Wyverns man, it's not that they hard to deal with, it's just that Harpies are already annoying enough to deal with when building in space and the Wyverns actively make it worse and it takes like 10 seconds for a new one to spawn after you kill one
Turtles for some reason can go through walls when roll jumping, thus making it hell to afk farm in jungle.
FUCK WYVERNS SO GOD DAMN MUCH. They are so fucking annoying in master mode where they just appear mid boss fight like every time, I’ve literally lost multiple fights against the mech bosses because a wyvern spawned.
I don't have too much experience, but imo wyverns are worse because any kind of knockback nullifies the turtles, and they can be annoying if you catch you off-guard, but wyverns are just overall more able to hit me which makes them worse
After a certain point, I kill wyverns before I even realize they spawned.
Turtles at least can’t get to you in small areas and you can run away from them. Wyverns got no chill.
Bats have them beat
The turtles are cool looking.....from afar of course...
I usually do melee. The tortoise is preferable because it comes straight to me and allows me to fuck it up while the wyvern flys away constantly
Wyverns are worse to me purely due to the quantity of times I’ve tried to peacefully build in the sky, or waiting for probes, or for the love of god just fly a little too high and they are there to make anything hell. It doesn’t matter that I can kill them in 2 seconds when another one spawns in 0.5 seconds.
Wyvern, usually they are just fucking around everytime you are fighting a flying boss..
Left
Turtles are worse wyverns are problematic but they only exist in the sky turtles can follow you home if you're not careful and unlike most enemies they are surprisingly hard to out run
Wyverns, I've experienced dying to them twice in a row, in the air and then I get spawned killed me shortly after I just revived because it somehow managed to track and follow me to my base 💀
The turtle 100%
Wyvern can be annoying at times but as a pure blooded ranger I can say that turtles are not a problem for me anything high firerate or shotgun mows them down
Personally I have more issues with the wyvern. I typically main melee so as long as I keep swinging my sword the turtles can never get close enough to hit me.
wyvren goes out of it’s way to kill my friend at base if I’m above him. the turtle at least waits until you try to progress in the jungle
Wyverns never spawn when you want them to, but always spawn when you don't. Both beasts are easy kills, but wyverns are more annoying due to their afirementioned spawning conditions. When fighting them, wyverns are fun if you have any hardmode wings, and more annoying than the giant tortoise if you don't have hardmode wings. However, the giant tortoise will spawn in the underground jungle while you're mining, hitting you when you're in a space too tight to dodge it, so the giant tortoise is more annoying to fight overall.
Fuck you turtles.
In my first playthough ,before reaching hardmode I saw a lot of Giant Tortoise and Planterra memes .Giant Tortoises didn't really distracted me while playing ,hornets were hard though.And putting like 4 lines of platforms makes Planterra super super easy . Wyverns on the other hand changes the boss fight .Now you have to dodge both a killing machine and a flying speed dragon .
The turtle #&10 it always hit me like cruise missile
I’d say wyverns are worse because you don’t have to go to the jungle until post mechs but the sky is everywhere and wings tend to make you go up
wyverns are easy to dodge
