do you need help?

need help?

also it is but a little tedious. You also gotta put in your part and throw bee nades at it.

Of course you can! this is what i recommend:
-Bee armor
-Snapthorn
-Hornet Staff o Imp Staff
-And as accessories you can use the ones that you like as long as you have some mobility, and that all have modifiers of +3 or +4 defense

Why not speed or critical strike? Defense isn't nearly as great as dodging and using regeneration items (including placeables in an arena). If you're optimizing magic, then critical strike I've found can cause magic such as demon scyth to crit anywhere between 50 and 100 damage depending on what you're hitting. This is a big deal... If you go full bee gear and solo playthrough, it's possible to shred everything too but you'd want to go with speed on accessories for moving and dodging as well as feather fall potions to fall slowly and quickly jump/fly in another direction.

The absolute biggest difference for me was building an arena. It seems obvious, but I really didn't wanna do it at first just cuz it would look ugly. It makes a gigantic difference tho. I thought I'd have to use meta strategies like the yoyo with the horizontal wall, but he was honestly pretty manageable with just a few layers of platforms. Molten armor is also a good idea

Not kidding about speed on accessories as opposed to anything else. When you slow fall with rocket boots and a cloud in a bottle, you can immediately jump without landing... this means you can change directions at least 2 times... even drift in another direction. You should really consider buffing speed with potions and a feather fall + regeneration potions and arena area for grappling hook. If you just take hits, you'll take damage and die anyway. This is why I recommend this and bee gear for a solo playthrough. You can even shred the wall of flesh in master mode without more than carving a path through buildings because you can land on anything... With a water walking potion, you can land on lava too. With a hook you can grapple to safety.

Summons to don't do crits. I think even if you plan to attack every now and then by yourself, this attribute is a waste for a pure summoner.
