As a Yo-Yo Warrior, accessories that increase melee speed will slightly increase the range of your yo-yos.In short, Warriors are tough and can take a beating and can branch to several sub-classes, each with their own benefits. Accessories that benefit yo-yos should also be used.

The optimal choice of armor for any Yo-Yo Warrior would be a Warrior set, along with a Warrior Emblem, since all yo-yos inflict melee damage. Yo-yos can hit multiple times, but cannot pass through solid blocks. A yo-yo itself can be used to keep enemies at bay while the Yo-Yo Warrior eats away at their HP, or it can be used to retreat when things get ugly. Yo-Yo Slingers heavily rely on yo-yos to strike their enemies down. The Yo-Yo Warrior, as its name mentions, slings yo-yos, whose range surpasses swords, but not even close to the range of a few other classes, whose range can extend past the screen. The Yo-Yo Warrior is an example of one of these sub-classes. However, there are also other pathways, sub-classes, a Warrior can branch towards. Other accessories affecting melee attacks should also be used in a build. Any good Warrior knows that the Warrior Emblem is cruicial in their build, as it increases their melee damage by 15%, further increasing to 19% when reforged to Menacing. Since Warriors are "bulky attackers", any armor with good defense that benefits melee attacks would be suitable.

The Warrior class is easy to learn, but however, in Hardmode, bosses such as the Lunatic Cultist and Moon Lord will be hard to kill due to being out of range of a Warrior's melee weapons, but the Warrior can craft powerful weapons in the late game which will allow them to hit enemies further away and dish out more damage. Warriors are known for being able to dish out damage as well as soak it up, hence their high defense. The Warrior is a melee class who prefers to charge into battle headstrong.
