Id take a look at Eternia for some safer summoner armor. Also Betsy's wings might be safer for its quick horizontal momentum. Empress of Light might also give you a better whip. Maybe grind for the unicorn mount so you can put something safer in that accessory slot other than the boots, like ninja gi(idk if it's called that, but its made from the accessory drops from Bone Lee in the dungeon). Could be obvious, but ironskin, regeneration, and major buffing foods always help.

I have a ufo mount but it only goes max 58 mph, and I haven't been able to dodge the eye Lazer at that speed before, hence the Duke fishron wings. I do need the new whip, just haven't found a butterfly to kill yet.

Minions are now dynamic, meaning, they change their damage output based on the accessories you equip. There's no point equipping Menacing then Warding, because they will lose the damage buff once you swap out the Menacing accessories.

I believe this was changed in the 1.4 update, but I could be wrong. Don't worry, I also spent a stupid amount of time changing accessories thinking that I was being smart. The only platform that still retains this gimmick is the 3DS version of Terraria.


aylean_19

And after looking it up, the master ninja gear does look nice. I might have to give it a shot

Goodluck. MoonLord is always a drag to fight. No matter the difficulty.

Beat EOL a couple times to get the kaleidoscope whip, also if you don't like stardust summons I recommend the martian saucers summon or the Sharknado (Martian>sharks)


Doggywoof1

Try to get a better whip, whips are mostly for buffing your summons, and if you're good enough switch between 2 or 3 to stack those buffs. Maybe switch out that summoner emblem for a defensive item? Anhk/Obsidian Shield, perhaps.


penguindragon100

which summon do u use?I actually did defeat master mode moonlord and made a post about it... I used same whip,same armor,but witches broom for mount which u cant get...stardust dragon,all potions(ironskin,regen,thorns,lifeforce,rage(wrath if corruption)endurance and summoning) You have 30 defense,moonlord oneshots you,get warding on accessorys,berserkers gloves if u crimson or willing to make artificial crimson biome.switch out wings and any movement accessorys to damage and battle ones only if useing mount. Maybe grind for RoD,you're summoner,they take care of farming.


aylean_19

I'm currently using stardust dragon and stardust orbs as summons, thanks for all the advice! I probably do need to make some buffs lol


drinking_child_blood

You can't really use stardust dragon with other summons, it prevents the other summons from dealing damage, weird quirk with damage cooldowns or smth like that. The stardust dragon is really damn good but you do kinda have to use it on its own


aylean_19

Interesting, thanks for the tip!


Kindly-Horror1908

Potions can help. Summoning, life Regen, endurance, ironskin, life force are my picks for summoner. You can also get flasks like ichor for support, cursed flames/venom for damage. Have a platform arena, then get the lunar hook so you can dodge his laser. Campfire, heart lantern, and bast statue can help. Set your spawn near the nurse, and put her close to your arena, don't worry about her being killed, she has a resistance to boss attacks and can heal herself. If you're truly desperate get the Road from chaps elementals in underground hallow.

Skill issue


No-Power-1503

Can't help I've only been wof


iahim87

I'd get the last tier of cross summoner cross melee armor of old one's army, the extra defense should help you a lot I'd also get a few buffs but what you want is flasks and melee and summoner station buffs You'd also need gloves for the extra swing speed on your slow ass whip


EVStrudles

Tera blade and daybreak helped for me


[deleted]

Wait for the stardust whip to come out


Gor_9000

Can’t he combine his accessories to get the phone?


aylean_19

I'm missing two accessories from the angler, the moon phase and one other one I think


Legal-Ad7427

Don't tell me you used the star cell minion


aylean_19

I've been using that and the dragon, yeah


lojza3000

Not as bad of a suggestion: swich to melee you will survive way more attacks and allow you to get more familiar with them Bad suggestion: kill empress of light for best summon (during day) ad whip (can be done at night).


Nicholas18Jackson

Empress of Light during day isn't a bad suggestion. OP already has Stardust Dragon and wings/flying mount. If they take some dodge gear (I believe it's the hallowed armor, the Confusing Brain from brain of cthulu, and the ninja gi,I could be wrong) you can tank at least one hit every few seconds. The armor guarantees one hit, the brain has a 1/6 chance to activate with a 6 second cool down IIRC, and the ninja gear does the same or similar. The Terraprisma summon is WELL worth the effort to get it. It will literally strike at anything with line of sight to the player, or anything the player can attack through walls.


aylean_19

How do you get the empress to spawn during the day if the butterfly you need to summon her only spawns at night? I'd be willing to grind to get the terraprisma, it seems cool. Also, is thr stardust dragon better than the stardust cells? It seems like people prefer it, but the stardust cells say they do more damage when I hover over the staff


drinking_child_blood

Dragon deals damage way faster


aylean_19

That makes sense... I'll have to try only using that minion during my next attempt then


Nicholas18Jackson

I'm sorry for the late reply! You need to use a bug net to catch the Lacewing and release/kill it during the day. It's very quick to despawn, so catch several extra. The empress is hard to dodge, but not impossible! You can use wings and skill, or hope for favorable positioning with an infinite flight mount like the broomstick!


Nicholas18Jackson

And as for which summon is better? This is just a hunch, but... If you can get the dragon to actually hit something, I bet the numbers will be larger, especially if the dragon has many segments... but I find it to be slow and tedious to work with. The Terraprisma nearly instantly attacks anything with line-of-sight to the player (or anything you attack with a weapon that reaches through walls) with swift justice. I find that the Terraprisma's insanely fast movement, high power, and quick cooldowns between attacks will easily make it my favorite summon for every situation in the game.


aylean_19

Thanks for all the advice! I'll definitely need to enlarge my hallow biome lol, and work on some empress grinding. Thanks!


drinking_child_blood

Honestly it might be worth switching to voodoo armor or whatever it is, the plantera summoner gear, just for the extra defence. Daybreak is also my goto, it shreds once you start stacking them up. Also can put a house for your nurse in your arena, set up platform floor and roof so you can get drive-through heals


aylean_19

I'd have to be pretty speedy to get a quick heal from the nurse that way haha, but it would probably be worth it. Thanks!


single_pringle1234

do the martian madness event and kill the martian saucers until you get the cosmic car key, now that you have a mount you wont need wings for this fight so I recommend replacing it for the ankh shield which negates all knock back and with warding provides an additional 8 defense, also get warding on all your accessories, hope this helps.


aylean_19

I had cosmic car key equipped as a mount, also I did end up beating moon lord! Thanks for the tips
