Somethings to staple about max defense:
Since yall talking about mechanical cart and stuff, it is obvious that in order to achieve max defense (or, if possible, idk if it is possible or not, 200 defense) is to set your world (and character? I typed this with a new laptop but I haven't downloaded Terraria yet) to be...
Expert Mode!
because it happens to be like that. Plus 4 extra defense from +1 accessory slot.
Solar Flare Armor is, well, quite obvious, cuz it has higher defense than the beetle armor (beaten by five points).
So in order to achieve the max defense in Terraria, you must be using a PC and Expert-Mode (if you want, get Corruption to obtain that Worm Scarf)
