Well, I never thought I would be posting one of these threads but, here I am.
Ever since 1.3 came out I've been doing an expert playthrough, I didn't have all that much trouble with the bosses, sometimes I had to try 3-4 times, but I got it soon enough.
But the moon lord, I'm starting to wonder if he is even possible on expert solo using ranged. I watched Yrimir kill him on expert solo so I know it's possible but he used mele (OP right now) and this character has been a ranged character from the start and I don't wana have to switch to mele just to beat the final boss. But I've been trying and trying and trying to kill him, I must have fought him at least 15 times now and the farthest I got to was one time I actually managed to start attacking his core but I died shortly after.
Here is an image to show you what I'm using http://images.akamai.steamuserconte...045/5D24EA5FACD82BF10E4052D7414E51085C467DBA/ (I need to stock up on more super healing potions). The image also gives you a small glimpse of what my arena is like, the rest of it is exactly the same 3 layers of panels, an occasional line of pearlstone to block the moon lord's laser, and heart lanterns, campfires, and sunflowers all around. Also from the image you can see all of the buffing potions I've been using. Looked on the wiki and there are none others that would help.
As for the fight itself I use the (unreal) vortex beater all the time, I shoot the hands mostly but if the head is open and I have a good angle I will shoot at the head. I'm using venom bullets but would it be better to use Chlorophyte? I can't seem to deceide which is better, venom does 4 more damage per bullet and applies the venom debuff but Chlorophyte bullets seek and I am guaranteed to hit with every singe one, I'm using venom because it's easier to get.
I have also been using the unicorn mount to stay out from under him. My main issue is just that he does too much damage. I have all warding accessorys but still, even his little laser things he shoots from his hands do a lot! And if you get hit by his eyeballs or his massive laser from his head then your as good as dead. I teleport back to the nurse whenever I'm low on health but he teleports too and sometimes he kills me before I can heal from her.
I've been doing everything I can to kill him and yet I just can't. I can't think of anything else I can do to fight him better other than learn to dodge his attacks better but that takes fighting him a lot of times and you can only fight him 2-3 times every time before you need to do the stupid pillars again. So, please, if there is anything you have to say that could help me, by all means, tell me. I will try it. (And if it works I will give you 100,000,000,000,000,000$!(you wish))
