Best Armor for Moon Lord?

[PalmTree]

Finally fighting for the first time in Normal Mode, and wondering what the best armor set for him is. I have Chlorophyte right now, but it just didn't cut it the first time I fought him. I did decently and managed to take out one of his hands, but still died before getting too far.

I'm solely using the Solar Eruption for the fight, and I'm wondering what sort of melee buffing armor is good for him. I've heard that the Beetle Armor is good, but I don't know which helm would be better and it doesn't really matter because I for some reason can't get my hands on any turtle shells.

Depends of your class of weapons you use.

For Melee players: The beetle armor is the final crafteable armor for melee. It has two chest.

+Bettle Scale Mail: 20 defense, 8% melee damage and critical change, 6% melee and movement speed.
+Bettle Shell: 32 defense,
5% melee damage and critical defense.
Enemies are going to target you.

Total defense: 61/73, + Bettle Endurance 15%/30%/45% (Buff)

For Ranged players: You have the Shroomite Armor, is the final crafteable armor for ranged players. This one has three helmets

+Shroomite: Mask (for Bullets)
+Shroomite: Headgear (for arrows)
+Shroomite: Helmet (for rockets)
Any of this helmets increase the %15 of damage and %5 of critical strike for ranged weapons.(increase the projectile damage, based on the helmet you chose)

Total defense: 51

For Mage players: The Spectre armor is the final crafteable armor for mages. it has two helmets

+Spectre Mask: 18 Defense, 5% damage and critical strike, increase mana by 60 and reduces mana usage by %13. The full set with this grants the ability of deal extra damage with magic attacks (summons a rare projectiles that follows the enemy)
+Spectre Hood: 6 defense, %10 damage and critical strike (%40 decreased magic damage), increase mana by 80 and reduces mana usage by %17. The full set with this grants the ability to heal the player with magic attacks.

Total defense: 42/30 (the Spectre Hood is a little bit useless by the debuff of the Moon Lord "Moon Bite" that prevents the player to heal.

For Summoner players: The Tiki Armor is the final obtainable armor for summoners, selled by the Witch doctor for 1 platinum coin and 50 gold coins (full set).

Total defense: 35, increase the minions by 4 (having a total of 5), %30 summon damage

these are the lastest armors in the game before obtaining the armors crafted with the lunar fragments (Solar, Vortex, Nebula and Stardust).

Depending of the class of weapons you use, those armors are the equivalent for every class of weapons. I decided to give you a little "summary" of their stats, you can view the entire stats in the game or the official wiki (i got the information in that site)

I hope this helps you and good luck defeating him. UwU

Im about to start the bossfight with the shroomite one and i am a little bit nervous °w°

im melee for me i think valhalla armor is the best because it heals you

[MusicAddictMAD]

Do you have an arena set up that can block some of the Moon Lord's stronger attacks? That will have a big impact on the fight as well, on top of the armor.
