How To Get To Pumpkin Moon Wave 15
I'm completely good with defeating the enemies/mini-bosses - that's not my issue.
However, the night always ends before I have a possibility to reach Wave 15.

Anyone have any advice on how to defeat the Waves faster so that I'm able to get to Wave 15 before the dawn?

Thanks.

Use nebula arcanum and nebula armor. Your magic will go down quick, so either keep moving to pick up mana stars and have a mana flower equipped for backup. This will "nuke" the enemies, as nebula arcanum does great damage, and its attacks linger making them extremely good when you spam them. With this setup, you can literally nuke the pumpkin moon, and it works on the frost moon as well.

And if this doesn't work, you can recruit help. I would be perfectly happy with bringing my own nebula set to help you nuke everything.

The Solar set/weapons are very easy to beat the Pumpkin Moon and use different potions too!

solar eruption is a really, really bad weapon and should NEVER EVER be crafted.

I'm more of a melee guy - also I'd be glad to accept help. I've sent you a friend request.

Shinden is just a hacker who's trolling you. Don't bother with him.

......

First time I fought both moon events to their max waves (15 for Pumpkin Moon and 20 for Frost Moon) in Expert Mode was as a Summoner, so consider doing that. Use your Solar Flare setup the first time if you want to but I recommend a Summoner-oriented setup after that, if you are going to continue using the summons.

Use one or more of the cross-over accessories to give you more than one sentry and use that in combination with your minions until the first Pumpking wave comes. Then use a mount or your wings to fly around and hit the Pumpkings while your minions go after them. The moon event minibosses count more toward finishing the wave than the smaller mobs do so the more Pumpkings you defeat, the quicker the waves will pass. I typically finish Wave 10 by 10 PM (ironic, I know) so you should have lots of time finishing the last 5 waves.

I am not that much of a melee user, especially with the Moon events, because I find you waste too much time taking down mobs individually. You'll do that well with Solar Flare but it will be too slow. At the very least, you should have arenas and traps to take care of the lesser mobs while you go after the Pumpkings.

I use vampire knives for my Summoner. They don't do a lot of damage but they keep your health up while you're hitting mobs so consider that as well.

you have literally no proof of me hacking. but sure dont listen to the pro, just fly around in a ufo and keep thinking youre good @ the game. and then whenever someone like me shows up just call me a hacker and tell everyone to disregard me.

An easy thing to say but now you have to stand behind it. Otherwise you're just a hypocrite. Why not join a Steam petition to get Terraria VAC-protected? We can start one on the official forums for Re-logic developers to see, too, if you are at all being serious.

"Put your money where your mouth is," as they say.

What the ♥♥♥♥ is going on. I wanted some advice for Pumpkin Moon and this happens.
