best pre destroyer weapon

[Under cover cabbage]

i was just wondering what is the best weapon you can get before you fight the destroyer to fight the destroyer?

 

[Erienna Nakagai]

Does minishark with crystal bullets count? Otherwise, piercing weapons

i wish there was something that slowed down the day and night cycle

Ocarina of Time should totally be a thing for that, and for speeding it up

Copied straight from the wiki:

• Recommended weapons: Penetrating weapons are most effective. Ice Sickle, Dao of Pow, Poison Staff, Star Cannon, Demon Scythe, Nimbus Rod, Cursed Flames, Golden Shower, Magic Dagger, Frost Staff, Gatligator. Thorn Chakram/Light Discs can be useful if used close up, due to the ricochet/rapid re-fire. Useful ammunition types: Meteor Shots, Explosive Bullets, Hellfire Arrows, Jester's Arrows and Holy Arrows. A large quantity of Grenades can be effective. Any flying Minion will be useful against Probes. IfSkeletron Prime has been defeated, using the Flamethrower is also a good option, and if The Twins have been defeated, the Magical Harp is perfect.

adamantite/titanium or hallowed (if you fight another mech boss before hand) repeater with jester's arrows.

i use demon sythe (if you can get it )
it works reeeaaaly well.

Nimbus Rod. All hail the nimbus rod.

Light Disc if you manage to snag it from Mimics.

Uh... those don't come from mimics. You make them from souls of might.

Death Sickle makes the Destroyer the pushover it once was. It uses no mana, spawns tonnes of projectiles that stay in place to deal major damage to the Destroyer. You will have to beat another mech boss to be able to get it, though.

NVM. #TEAMOBILE

Diamond Staff, because I totally did it with diamond staff.
(a few vets might know the..I guess reference)

Repeaters and Jester arrows and a whoooooooole lot of dedication and knowledge of enemy spawns to create a forcespawning arena to murder him in around 10 seconds or less, 100% of the time.

[Replacing Hallowed Repeater with Titanium makes little difference, still murders him just as fast]

In my eyes, The Destroyer is the most difficult mech boss. So what I do is kill Skeletron Prime or The Twins and just farm a Death Sickle which will remain my main Melee weapon for the rest of the playthrough, just because it's insanely strong.

It does in mobile, and it's not the only one. Seriously, I have no idea what CodeGlue is thinking of by giving the mobs craftable weapons as drops.

Oh... Ok then. I would ask why they did that, but I get the feeling that no one knows...

did you use any potions ore buffs other than the armor?

 

[Suweeka]

All modifiers I used are all pre-destroyer. Only thing that's post-destroyer is the repeater.
