Solar Flare Armor or Beetle Armor?

[motel6fan]

I have beetle armor I want a NEW armor set. I'm a melee character and I'm wondering which is better. I want the drill containment unit but I HATE fighting The Moon Lord. Is the Solar Flare Armor worth it?

The solar flare armor is absolutely better than the bettle armor, but if you are comfortable in your beetle armor, nothing is gonna stop you from building the DCU first, just do what you enjoy, stats arent everything :)

What is DCU? I have a sky/minecart track with a roof to block Moon Lord attacks.

The worst part is I need more Solar Fragments and Luminite Bars. And personally I think the Solar Tower is the hardest.

DCU = Drill Containment Unit

Oh yeah but it uses 40 Luminite Bars. I JUST beat Moon Lord and I only have 22 Luminite Bars. Though I got the Lunar Portal Staff ;,)

The Solar tower is easy as long as you stay on the ground, if your flying its super hard, make sure you have potions like regen, iron skin, and endurance

what are your accesories? Moonlord and pillars should be super easy if your playing tank. are you on expery or normal?

I found a quote unquote cheat. I made a pool underneath the Solar Tower, and used two minions (Stardust Dragon Staff, Stardust Cell Staff), Staff of the Frost Hydra. And finally I used the Solar Flare

[motel6fan]

Normal

I switch out between Moon Lord and Celstial Towers

Moon Lord:
Solar Flare, Beetle Armor, Flesh Knuckles, Moon Shell, Star Veil, Avenger Emblem, Charm of Myths.

Do you have acces to the valhalla armor from the DD2 Update, i find the life rengen, to be very good. if not try using

Warding Ankh Shield or > Obsidian Shield
Warding Frozen Turtle Shell
Warding Star Necklace
Warding Charm of Myths

With this build all yu have to do is literally stand under a ceiling (to dodge laser) without moving and you can kill the moonlord Easily

THe moon shell can be upgraded into a celestial shell by combining it with a sun and moonstone, the damage provided by avenger is not needed < defense = survability = wining. Other than that as long as the other items are warding it looks good make sure everything is warding,
