That Duke Fishron kills me just in 10 seconds. I've upgraded a lot of things the help by my friend and she killed Empress Of Light and Old One's Army for sets. I've killed Lunatic Cultist before that.
But, can't kill Duke Fishron, i'm dying in just in 10 seconds. What should i do?

First off, I noticed you have a largely Summoner focused loadout but no good minions. I recommend using up that Stardust in your inventory and making the Stardust Dragon Staff.
I’d replace the Hercules Beetle with the Papyrus Scarab, which you have in your inventory. Exact same bonuses with an extra minion on top, and it combined with the Necromantic Scroll will get you 3 minions. I’d also replace the Valhalla Helmet and Greaves with Tiki or Spooky pieces for even more minions, for a total of 5, but keep the Valhalla Chestplate on.
Anyway, Fishron.
Before Fishron, you want to upgrade your wings. Pumpkin Moon drops materials for much better wings and you should be able to get them pretty easily. You also need a dash accessory to be fast enough to dodge Duke Fishron, you can grind out a Tabi from the Dungeon and replace probably the Summoner Emblem.
Keep as far away from Fishron as you can afford, his melee damage is high enough to kill in 2-3 shots, but make sure you’re close enough to attack. Generally travel in a wide circle in the ocean, and dash as often as possible to keep distance from Fishron. Constantly swinging your whip should cut any projectiles out of the air
The second phase is harder, because the tornados will be much more in the way. Generally keep moving the same way, but make sure not to get cornered by a tornado and generally keep track of where they spawn. Also watch out for Duke Fishron when he starts to spin in a large circle, and stay away.
Anyway, Duke Fishron is one of the hardest bosses especially if you’re just starting out, so if you’re still struggling it probably won’t hurt to just skip him.
