The last column is Master mode in a world made with the For the Worthy seed. Its numbers were measured in the game, not computed here.

For one player in a world before Hardmode. Expert and Master scale life, attack, knockback and coins by the game's own multipliers.

Coins: each kill rolls the coins from 80% to 175% of this value, then rarer extra rolls can add more.

In a Hardmode world

On Expert and Master, a Hardmode world raises weak enemies: when attack plus defense plus a quarter of life is under 80 (100 after Plantera), the game multiplies them up.

	Life	Attack	Defense	Knockback Taken	Coins
Expert, In Hardmode	104	46	12	45% (Med)	4
Master, In Hardmode	156	69	12	40% (Med)	4
Expert, After Plantera	210	92	24	45% (Med)	8
