Mythril Repeater

A repeater at this tier is a delivery system. What you load into it decides how the weapon feels far more than which repeater you are holding, and the same bow with Jester's Arrows behaves nothing like it does with Holy Arrows. If ranged is feeling weak here, check the quiver before you blame the bow.

Middle hardmode ore, which in practice means a short stay. Push the mechanical bosses and the Hallowed Repeater lands soon after, and that is a real jump rather than another sidestep. Its Orichalcum twin is close enough that neither is worth chasing across worlds.
