Best Defensive Pre-Hardmode Armour??

[Yeet]

What is the armour set the has the most defense in pre-hardmode? I am trying to kil the WoF.

[THE TRAIN OF PAIN]

Molten armor. it also provides a meele damage set bonus. but that doesnt mean its the best pre-hardmode armor obviously, so you might aswell go for a different set (if your not going for meele.) if you dont mind sacrificing the high defence.

[big demon energy]

there is no "best" armor

but if your looking for defense and melee power try molten

[Yeet]

ok thanks

[StormGallade]

Yeah, molten armor is awesome

while molten is good and all, I would also look at crimson.
crimson gives a general 6% boost to all damage and gives a great regeneration buff.

Yeah but molten has a 15 boost to melee and an extra 6 def than crimson

if you dont get hit a whole lot, the regen is better than the extra def.

Molten Armor, by far. 25 Defense puts it on par with Melee Cobalt Armor. However, for taking on the Wall of Flesh, I would recommend you wait until you've got a Space Gun and then make a suit of Meteor Armor. It'll serve you far better.

Now, of course, once you reach Hardmode, you're going to need a lot more than the Meteor Armor's somewhat negligible 16 Defense, and even the Molten Armor's 25 Defense is going to prove inadequite. What can you do to mitigate this? Find the Goblin Tinkerer and a bunch of nice Accessories, of course! Just find a set of Accessories that you really like, and then go to the Goblin Tinkerer with plenty of coins. Reforge as many as you're able to Warding (+4 Defense) so that you'll have 20 bonus defense at least. The Obsidian Shield provides 2 Defense by default, in addition to making you immune to Knockback and the Burning Debuff. Assuming you wear Molten Armor and have 5 Warding Accessories, one of which is the Obsidian Shield, you'll have 47 Defense, which is more than adequate for early Hardmode.

Once you've started Hardmode, however, I would recommend you go out and get a suit of Palladium Armor or better. Don't even bother with Cobalt Armor, as only it's Ranged variant provides enough more defense than the Pre-Hardmode equivalent to be worth switching out (for example, Magic Cobalt Armor has 16 Defense, and Melee Cobalt Armor has 26).

the bonus from sets can compesate the lack of armor. necro armors to range, bee armor for sumoner, jungle armor for mages. space armors (free laser). you should see what tactic is best. )pro tip - try atacking the wall of flesh with BEEnades (dropped by queenbee) is super fast way to kill him (since cant dodge all the bees)

Thanks for all the help!

No, but boomerangs and projectile swords work also. I have beaten wall of flesh lots of times with melee just to prove my point.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing?
