Pumpkin Moon Help

The Terraria Swag Beast

Official Terrarian
Hi. I'm doing a mage only play through on console and I have a couple questions.

1. What are some good weapons and accessories are good for the pumpkin moon?

2. What are some good Melee weapons and accessories are good for the pumpkin moon?

3. What are some good Ranged weapons and accessories for the pumpkin moon?

4. What are some good Guns and accessories for guns to use in the pumpkin moon?

Thank You! ⌒.⌒
 
The leaf blower might be the best pre-moon weapon I can think of. While it doesn't pierce, it has high damage and fire rate.

If you have the crimson, Vampire knifes are good for melee, due to the lifesteal. But the Scouge of the Corruptor works well too if you got corruption.

The Tactical Shotgun with Ichor Bullets or Chlorophyte Bullets is very nice for ranged.

I would use Spectre Armor(hood) for magic, Beetle Armor(either body piece) for melee, and Shroomite Armor(mask if you're using the Tactical Shotgun) for ranged.

As for accessories, Use emblems for more damage. Have some wings for drastically increased mobility. Celestial Cuffs for magic users will help them keep up their mana.

Some stuff I suggest (long list)

1. If you meant magic here, then...

- Razorblade Typhoon (probably one of the best for this)
- Spectre Staff or/and Inferno Fork (at some situations)
- Rainbow Gun (maybe, it pierces and shoots a stream of rainbow)
- Bat Scepter (if you manage to defeat Pumpking - it has very low mana cost and is homing)
- If you tried the Lunar Events, a Nebula Arcanum will destroy groups of smaller enemies or Mourning Woods (it probably won't work against Pumpking because he's fast and the projectile isn't)

Accessories:

- Celestial Emblem
- Magic Cuffs
- Sorcerer Emblem/Avenger Emblem/Destroyer Emblem
- Mana Regeneration Band
- Mana Flower (but it still applies the Mana Sickness debuff, so use at your own risk)
- Celestial Stone

Use Spectre Armor for this if you have it.

2.

- Terra Blade
- Possessed Hatchet or Paladin's Hammer (more useful for bosses)
- Influx Waver
- Vampire Knives (if you need heal)
- Flairon
- Solar Eruption (if you tried the Lunar Events)
- The Horseman's Blade (if you killed Pumpking)
- The EoC yo-yo

Accessories:

- Celestial Shell
- Warrior/Avenger/Destroyer Emblem
- Star Veil
- Frozen Turtle Shell
- Mechanical Glove/Fire Gauntlet
- Flesh Knuckles
- Yo-yo bag (if you use yo-yo's)

Use Beetle Armor for this.

3.

- Tsunami (it's very powerful with good gear, I reached wave 15 with it using only wooden arrows)
- Stynger
- Vortex Beater or Phantasm (if you tried the Lunar Events)
- Xenopopper
- Electrosphere Launcher
- Nail Gun

Accessories:

- Ranger/Avenger/Destroyer Emblem
- Sniper Scope
- Celestial Stone
- Magic Quiver (for bows)
- (not an accessory, but still useful) Cosmic Car Key or Shrimpy Truffle

Use Shroomite Armor for this.


As for guns, most of them don't do very well, because they're usually too weak. Bows do a much better job, because arrows can pierce (Meteor Shots aren't worth getting and the other piercing bullets are crafted from Luminite) or deal more damage than bullets.


Other accessories that may help:

- Wings (if you haven't got a flying mount)
- Ankh/Paladin's Shield (the second one is fine for MP, but usually you can ditch this for another item)
- Charm Of Myths (but not needed if you use Heartreach Potions)
- Master Ninja Gear
- Worm Scarf (if you play Expert Mode)

You can also use summons if you want, but it's hard (at least for me) to farm the Pumpkin Moon with using only summon weapons. You could use some for help though.

Phantasm for life


Terrarian is bae


I love Last prism


And don't forget stardust dragon
I agree that is the best magic weapon, but it requires beating the moon lord a few times.
It took me around 3-5 time when i got the Last Prism.
He's on console.
 
Oh, I forgot about this, but most of the other items are present in the game (maybe except the Celestial Shell).
 
Along with what everyone else has said, I strongly recommend the Magnet Sphere. I use it in every one of my mage builds, as it is awesome for dps and healing pre-moonlord.
