[LovingSnek]

I know what the highest defense possible is, but what is the highest Pre-Hardmode defense obtainable?

Molten Armor = 25 defense

Well Fed buff + 2 defense

2 defense from Obsidian shield
1 defense from Cobalt shield
1 defense from Obsidian skull
1 defense from Shakle.

there is also the endurance potion, though it is not regular defence.

This is like 2 years later but you can have 70 defense (68 in normal mode).
Full Molten Armor +25
Obsidian Shield +6
Cobalt Shield +5
Shield of Cthulhu +6
Obsidian Skull +5
Shackle +5
All warding + ironskin potion + the dryads blessing (which gives 8def) + well fed

So 70 defense in expert mode and 68 in normal mode without shield of cthulhu

In 2024 The Highest for Pre-Hardmode is 81 Defense.
And here's why...

(Gear - All Warding +56)
Molten Armor + 25
Shield of Cthulhu +6
Obsidian Shield +6
Cobalt Shield +5
Obsidian Skull +5
Shackle +5
Any Accessory +4 (Full Tank - Worm Scarf)

(Buffs +25)
Ironskin +8
Dryad's Blessing +8
Bast Statue +5
Exquisitely stuffed +4

(Difficulty)
Master: 81 Defense
Expert: 77 Defense
Classic: 75 Defense

If you want to be even tankier, I would recommend Endurance and Lifeforce potions (though you can only obtain Lifeforce from Shadow Chests or Gold Chests within 250 blocks of the bottom of the Underworld in Pre-Hardmode.)

Oh, and since I'm here, the max defense in the entire game is 208.

It helps anyone that come across this from any search engine though. Instead of being stuck with 7 years old information and cursing the search engine like usual, here they're gonna get highly relevant info and just be happy.
