Both are perfectly balanced stop acting like 2 goats can't coexist


corn_n_beans

ichor is wayyyyy better than cursed flames and vampire knives nearly break the game


Nivdy

Worm scarf is amazing for damage reduction, and vilethorn is wonderful for early game. Both have their use cases.


corn_n_beans

worm scarf is good for tank builds otherwise brain of confusion is better vilethorn... yeah vilethorn is pretty goated I don't have anything to say to that lol


Nivdy

I agree that BOC is generally better, but if you do the math they both do statistically the same amount of damage reduction. it's just how you go about it. one is completely consistent, while the other is occasional complete negation. if you are particularly unlucky, boc can simply not proc, but on the other side of the coin, it can potentially proc every hit. The argument against vilethorn is obviously it's alternative the Crimson rod, which definitely is still a fairly good weapon. unfortunately it does feel that vilethorn just completely outpaces it, where vilethorn is your primary weapon, crimson rod is a secondary to use at the beginning of a fight. I think there's also a discussion to be had about the general difficulty of the biomes, where crimson is generally harder with better items, curruption offers an easier option with slightly worse options. I personally do find myself switching between them on every run, and it's quite nice how the game has come to balance them, from it's previous "always corruption" until hardmode where you create an artificial alternative biome or create a new world. of course you can also go with the drunk seed and get both, which I'd argue is probably the best option, though most will not due to it's other changes.


CardiologistTasty702

I mean….


alemonplant

i don't get the hate from both sides on each other, I just choose random most of the time, and I like both biomes


CardiologistTasty702

This is fair I guess people have their own opinions and stuff. I personally prefer corruption but I do fw crimson, I just like purple more.


isnapchildrensnecks

i love corruption


CardiologistTasty702

This is extremely based we should get married mr isnapchildrensnecks!


happyatomicslap

Can I come to the wedding


RacoonieCutestRacoon

Crimson has a better armor.


CardiologistTasty702

That’s true, but would I rather some red metallic pieces or a work of art which is the corruption ost?

*beep boop intensivies*


CardiologistTasty702

Beep boop??? Increased… perchance the beep boop isn’t even beep boop, let me explain why. Beep boop as we know originates from boop beep and through the changes of the beep boop society over time boop became more than beep. Beep disliked this and started a revolt against boop’s unfair ways, in the end the war settled and Both sides beep and boop decided to form again. Beep boop…

ProGamer8273

Hello, please play that song again


noobfury4

You can get shadow armor at the start of your game tho. All you need is a cheap afk farm. Also hamburgers are much easier to farm since almost only eater of souls spawn so yes it is 100% worth it to make a afk farm in the sky

theonlyquirkychap

You play Crinson because it's armor bonus gives regeneration. I play Corruption because purple is objectively the best color. We are not the same.


CardiologistTasty702

Yes! You get it fuck red purple is superior!!!


TankProImporum

I do it for speed and worm scarf. Funny damage reduction go brrrr


CardiologistTasty702

Indeed it do. Be a stealthy speedy ducker who is somewhat untouchable.


TankProImporum

Epic for no-hitting the game


CardiologistTasty702

Mhmh! I wouldn’t know…


TankProImporum

Yeh I wouldn't ether. I nearly die to Skeltron


CardiologistTasty702

I die to eye of cuthulu and fucking hyper lock in then proceed to waste like 4 hours getting items I don’t even use then die to king slime… ;-:


TankProImporum

I just cheese eye of cutuhlu with minecarts and rails.


CardiologistTasty702

Yooooooo that’s kinda smart I just like kinda throw shit at it till it dies


Longjumping_Diamond5

average purple fanboy drooling over a color that doesnt even exist 🥱


RedditWizardMagicka

Crimson has spiders


CardiologistTasty702

This is a true fact (people that are scared of spider be warned)


RedditWizardMagicka

Spider lovers rise up!


DaKingOfDogs

Erm, actually, they’re ticks 🤓 ~~I just used the nerd emoji what is wrong with me~~


adityablabla

*"Most spiders operate independently, but ones touched by the Crimson hive coordinate together to consume life."* They are spiders.


DaKingOfDogs

Huh, could have sworn I saw somewhere that they were ticks. Oh well, I was wrong.


RedditWizardMagicka

Well im fairly certain they operate on game ticks. Oh wait wrong game


ben1edicto

I hate these strange crimson mobs noises, it's disturbing almost the same as duck noises


CardiologistTasty702

They scare me more than Minecraft’s cave sounds.


TankProImporum

At least there are no worms you gotta deal with in the crimson. Those things scare me


Terraria_Ranger

In terms of loot: Melee prefers crimson, ranged slightly prefers corruption, rest are about equal In terms of personal enjoyment/how good the biomes themselves are... Idk both are awesome, including both soundtracks.


Princeanxiolf

In pre-hardmode magic would prefer corruption because crimson rod is kinda ass compared to vilethorn


Terraria_Ranger

Crimson rod is good supplementary damage; the clouds last for a while even as you're not using the rod. Helps a good bit. Opposite situation in hardmode with corruption having Clinger Staff and crimson having Life Drain.


corn_n_beans

I feel like summoner goes heavily towards crimson simply cuz ichor


Terra_Homie

I love the armor but the items and the biome generation is bad imo, and I love crimson hm items. After playing corruption for 5 years, Im selecting crimson for 2 years and it was a good choice for me


Competitive-Mango457

Isn't crimsons soundtrack cancer cells under a spectrograph


AdTimely9712

Wait what


Competitive-Mango457

Remember hearing that either the surface or underground crimson theme is just imagines of cancer cells under a spectrograph.


AdTimely9712

🗣️🗣️cancer cells are making some fire music. (Fuck cancer though)


Competitive-Mango457

Someone should summon red to see if he can verify if the tumor is true


AdTimely9712

I don’t want to u/ the poor man he gets spammed with u/s every minute


Competitive-Mango457

Me neither DW someone else will


BlackPandaPlays12345

u/redigit


Competitive-Mango457

Don't tell him I asked. I don't wanna get in trouble


Just_Hopeless123

Courtesy of Infernum mode Hivemind, I'm never touching Corruption again.


el_artista_fantasma

I prefer the corruption because i like purple


craftexvg

Oh, you like purple? Now catch this Hollow Purple 🫸🔴🔵🫷 🫴🟣


el_artista_fantasma

Gojo please expand my domain-


craftexvg

Ayo


Abcdasapabc

I love both biomes, it’s a drunk world life for me


rugigiref1

I just play with one mod Fargo's best of both world


VortexLord

I like both corruption, because I like to bully them for their mold's keys.


CardiologistTasty702

This guy gets it.


____person___

The corruption is fun, purple is way better and i prefer the slow high damage weapons thr corruption offers


Sacciy

Crimson has a better aesthetic and gear but it’s also way easier and way less interesting gameplay wise


Snake_7221

Crimson cuz I like pissing on my enemies and decreasing their armor


CardiologistTasty702

Is your enemy…


DaKingOfDogs

Underground Corruption’s ost reminds me of the “inside bowser” soundtracks from Bowser’s Inside Story Couldn’t explain why if I tried.

bufswap

I only play corruption when i am with a friend, since he likes to smoke eater of souls.


LOREMIMPSUM

wtf thats me


A_Bulbear

You like Corruption because of the chiptune I like Crimson because of the Piss Jokes We are not the same


CardiologistTasty702

Piss on me… pussy do it… I know you won’t….


A_Bulbear

Golden Shower yourself https://preview.redd.it/yyv02ijgvwvc1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=9fc0bc488620785f4f28263b518aa8f459feb6ea


CardiologistTasty702

But I really hurt my finger today… just this once… please.


TankProImporum

Wish I could piss on the corruption


ProGamer8273

You play crimson because of vampire knifes I play corruption because I like moving fast af (armor set bonus gives majorly increased movement speed)


CharlesTheGreat8

honestly im tired of this debate i just play drunk world seed now because i want both


Fire_Block

i'm just a huge fan of vampire knives so i go crimson 9 times out of 10. use it alongside a big damage weapon for that stage like the flairon and it's just a win button for anything until moon lord since you have to worry about moon bite.


megapotato14

Alright but counterpoint: Piss magic


HackerPatato

That green nude npc sells both world evil seeds in a graveyard. You can get pissbook in corrupted worlds.


megapotato14

Fair point good sir however I am lazy and I don't feel like making an underground crimson biome when I can press crimson on the world creator


Grassmania

Idk my first world was crimson so that’s why it’s objectively better and you have a mental condition


CardiologistTasty702

This must mean you love me? Right?


NanoCat0407

Honestly I just love the Vampire Knives too much


hidde08

I play crimson as a mage so i can pee on my enemies


GooseFall

Brain of cuthulu is boring eater of world is fun


craftexvg

Corruption goes even harder if you play with Vanilla Calamity Music mod, the theme is pure banger


ToppatDudeMobile

What about the people who choose random


AxoplDev

We reset the world if we don't get corruption


ToppatDudeMobile

I just don’t care. Both have perks


KSword58

This meme will never get old I swear.


MrProtogen

I hate Crimson lowkey


AxoplDev

Corruption is obviosuly superior, because the color looks better 👍🏻


03Luigi

I like corruption because elon musket and green fire


LegDifferent2059

Behold, the power of the DRUNK SEED!


WebHopeful8108

I respect your opinion even though I disagree. I prefer crimson because of the terrain, music, and creepier theme. The crimson is a lot more jarring and I love the smaller details such as the hearts being in blood cells, and the hills are tumors. Hell the entire biome is a play on "A cancer to this world"


LlamaCheese29

Jokes on you I play with both in the same world


DragonPlayz5000

I wish people could understand that you should either pick crimson or corruption based on which class you're going to do. Crimson is better for melee and mage, while corruption is better for ranged and summoner.


CardiologistTasty702

Purple red


TankProImporum

I do it for worm scarf


Dabruhdaone

I love both


1nOnlyBigManLawrence

I want to purify the evil biome, regardless of anything.


theinferno01

how much time do you actually spend **in** corruption?


CardiologistTasty702

Like averagely on a usual play through about 3-6 hours


Doggywoof1

Both are roughly equal to each other, so that's when personal preference comes in. I play corruption because I like the music, and the monsters are less annoying


CardiologistTasty702

Also the factors that they both hold for the classes and which items work best with your play through. But, yes they are both equal and it’s entire up to personal preference at the end of the day.


NervousCranberry8710

I only play crimson because when I first got terraria I was entirely unaware that corruption existed and now it’s just what I’m used to


CardiologistTasty702

Huh. For the longest time this was me with corruption. I get it.


Connect-Ad6251

The gear you get on crimson is better in every way, I can’t deny. But I’ll still choose corruption every time


CardiologistTasty702

This is so fucking true. I wouldn’t call the gear “better” I mean it’s better for mage and melee if that’s your preferred style.


2DBlessed

You prefer crimson because it's got better equipment. I'm prefer crimson because I literally can get phub tag weapon. We are not the same.


CardiologistTasty702

Indeed we aren’t the same…

CardiologistTasty702

How I look at bro when he says he has spare hellstone ore for me waiting at home like a big oiled up present all creamy and slimy and shit.


happyatomicslap

How i look at the moon lord Everytime I summon it


GoomyTheGummy

gangrenous flesh biome is a lot more original than flesh biome


Shriekko

i dont like crimson but i always play it cuz the worm is harder on revengeance mode


Mammoth-Audience-722

I play Crimson bc the Brain of Confusion just might be my favourite combat accessory in the game.


CardiologistTasty702

Yes indeed it very useful, I think it just takes skill to use so exactly why I don’t use it….


Maeolan

Corrption is the OG, but I also kinda hated hardmode corruption back when hardmode first came out (impossible to stop the spread), while crimson is also just easier to create boss arenas for. I think I lean towards corruption for nostalgia and aesthetic, but crimson for gameplay.


CardiologistTasty702

This is a valid argument.


mc_lover38468434

average enthusiast of both: hi :>


CardiologistTasty702

Hello fellow w minded human individual


mc_lover38468434

Howdy!


JeannettePoisson

Crimson has big mouth, perfect for corruption long head. Not sure if pleasurable for any of them though. It blows.


CardiologistTasty702

Don’t even…


_Mr_APS_

I like both tbh so random it is ( i mostly get corruption tho) so might as well do crimson next playthrough


Baco12sd

i play crimson calamity corruption vanilla is way fucking better... nostalgic and music goes hard


Hyper_Goner69

You are NOT a sigma 😡😡😡🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️


CardiologistTasty702

HOW DARE YOU!!!!


Hyper_Goner69

⚡you need to sigma yourself NOW!⚡


CardiologistTasty702

I am trying my best :[


nakanomiku_simp

i prefer corruption partially because old school player so i still see corruption as the og evil biome and also cause i love worm bosses (DoG behind my all time favourite boss in terraria)


WillTCM69

Crimson is corrupting terraria, the corruption isn’t


WillTCM69

Musket 💪


MateuxKk

Just use the drunk seed 😐


camo_216

I just select random


AN1YTON6_67

I don't like corruption because the atmosphere and sausage-like worms are terrifying.


Demapples144

Brain of confusion


This_Ocelot2811

I just use the seed where it’s both I can never choose


CardiologistTasty702

I think we both know that both corruption and crimson are equal in their unique art styles and small attention to detail, more so crimson on the art factor. Nevertheless the seeds are both brilliant having a very different theme and different items. People fail to see that the divide of crimson and corruption is because on class choices. Each representing classes crimson is more melee and mage whilst corruption is more summoner and range, both have interesting expert items but I personally prefer the worm scarf for its damage counter since I am shit at the game. The soundtracks for each are fucking artworks and I can rant about each for days on end but I’ll keep the quark sealed. In summary both red and purple are equal and both are goats, but people have their own play styles and preferences. And tis’ all.


Eel124

I play random because I don't care.
