Struggling with skeletron prime

[Panzer]

I've beaten the destroyer but I'm struggling to beat skeletron prime or the twins. Am I missing a step or something? The only thing I can think of is getting full life fruit but I've only found 1 so far and they seem too scarce for me to search for them at this time. What else can I do? I made a little loop of minecart tracks as a way to dodge the attacks though I still am struggling to beat them

its all easy with a long enough sky bridge. just keep running and when u reach the end, go the other way.

Wich weapons are you using? Try changing weapons and armors, usually I use Shadown flame dagger and the frozen armor, maybe titanium for better defense, or you can try megashark with crystal bullets, mobility is also the key for any battle expecially for the twins since they move too much, Terraspark boots it a must and don't forget about the potions and statues

Terraspark boots is a must? That's one of the silliest things ive ever heard. You dont need them at all ever, it is just a convenient crafting reward for fun. Im curious to why you think someone needs them care to explain?

Big accessory tree = best item in the game of course

tacktic 1:

downside is the DPS well we all know what happen if it turns to dawn.

for skeletron prime i recomend building an arena that kind of look simelar to the one you fought skeletron just make it bigger and with background walls

recoment using a singel grapling hook and to disperse the platforms abitt higher. remember you dont need to kill all arms to kill skeletron and once all are goon he do this dreaded spinn of death

and also try a summoner build with the spiderstaff (it should be fairly easy to obtain once you go hardmode) have a coupple of them spiders and propper bufffood and all you tecnicaly need to do is avoid taking to much damage.

this is where spiders come in since they will be everywhere skeletron prime is... so dont underestimate the power of background walls...

tactic 2:
well there is an even easyer metod .... but it will take out all fun make a boombox with 84 explosive and just oneshot this guy...

tacktic 3:
hm i wonder if i can still AFK dungeon guardian ...
oh i found out someone made a more primitive version of my DG arena

the principles are the same to keep any boss stationary while adding damage with this or something simelar to this...

and a spiderwall there is no chanse you could lose!
you could even go and tell a family member that you love them and be back.

soldiers dont win the war engineres does...

oh and lifefruit is a must
dont compromise on that one

You guys think Terraspark boots crafting tree is big? If you don't want to ''grind'' for it just use frostspark boots then

The thing is, terraspark boots do have a larger crafting tree than most items in the game... how am I wrong about that? And new players do generally regard accessories that have a larger crafting tree or more text in their description to be better, just look at the ankh shield, it's grossly overrated by how many better items there are in the game (and how useful it is for the short time it "may" be slightly viable)

1. Yes, only spectre/lightning/ frostspark are necessary; there is no need to grind for terraspark boots especially at that stage of the game

2. If you're giving recommendations for boots to use during boss fights, amphibian are infinitely better. I personally don't use boots at all because you'll be flying for the entire fight regardless, if you have an arena you can reset flight by jump cancelling with hooks - if you want more horizontal movement, use a mount like the blessed apple/ goat skull on master mode

Apologies I forgot to list my weapons and equipment, I'm using the Uzi with cursed bullets and I got the adamantite armor set

Edit: I also forgot to add in this message I beat the twins last night, the tip about making a really long platform helped, still some dodging required but I managed to beat them
