This Endgame Melee Build Easily TANKS the Moon Lord…

How tanky can you get in Terraria well the maximum defense that you can have in Terraria is 2008 in master mode by equipping the solar flare helmet solar flare breast plate valhala night Greaves hero Shield flesh Knuckles and the rest of the accessories you see here on the

Screen as well as taking potions and additional Buffs today I want to focus on a high defense and high damage reduction build that’s perfect for fighting mord and other endgame entities a build that has tons of defense and up to 97% possible damage reduction insane right I’ll split this video into three

Sections armor accessories and other at the end of the video I’ll also show how powerful the defense and damage reduction are by testing it against the moon Lord’s death ray if you enjoy these load out recommendation videos make sure to leave a like on this video now

Without further Ado let’s get into it first up armor there are two possibilities either the full set of beetle armor with the beetle shell equipped or the hallowed mask Beetle shell and valala knights Greaves from The Tavern keep the full set of beetle armor with the shell gives 73 defense

And provides a set bonus of up to 45% damage reduction if the player avoids taking damage for long enough the hallowed mask build on the other hand provides a player with 80 Total Defense so seven more defense overall although no damage reduction from the set bonus

For this video I’m going to stick to the full set of beetle armor because I like the damage reduction effect although you can choose whichever armor build is more convenient for you since they’re not that different now to make the full Beetle armor you’ll need exactly 54

Chloride bars AKA 270 ore three turtle shells and 18 Beetle husk the chloride bars are very easy to get just mind chloride ore in the underground jungle post mechanical bosses Graf and drink a spunker potion if you’re having trouble the next ingredient three turtle shells is the most frustrating to get in my

Opinion turtle shells have an 8.33% chance of dropping from giant tortoises in the jungle meaning you’ll have to beat about 12 to get one turtle shell and 36 to get three of them they’re strong and fast enemies so make sure you’re prepared and yes I did just get

Two turtle shells from two turtles lastly the 18 Beetle hus can be obtained from gollem in the lizard temple he drops 18 to 23 husks in expert of Master modes you’ll only need to beat him one time if you’re in normal mode he only drops 4 to eight husks so you’ll have to

Beat them a couple times after you have all the ingredients craft the 54 chloride bars and turtle shells together to make turtle armor then mix each Turtle armor piece with Beetle husks to make the full Beetle armor make sure to craft the beetle shell and not the scal

Mail to max out defense and damage reduction I’m going to set up a defense and damage reduction counter in the top right of the screen to add up how much we’re getting over the course of the video for the set bonus of the beetle armor not taking damage for 9 seconds

Will lead to 45% damage reduction plus the full be armor with the shell give 73 defense so let’s add those numbers up top second we have accessories you get five in normal mode six in expert and seven in master I’m going to go over seven of them since Master mode is the

Hardest mode in Terraria although you can leave one or two out if you’re a normal or expert here’s all seven of them shown on the screen right now if you want to pause and take a look for yourself first is the celestial shell a simple one this accessory is perhaps one

Of the greatest in Terraria because it Buffs almost every aspect of your player offering damage life regen minion melee movement and even swimming boosts but most importantly it offers four defense in the daytime and seven defense during the night if you want to learn how to

Craft it check out the short video I Linked In the description below second and third are the Frozen and hero Shield they’re both made by mixing the paladen shield with another accessory the Frozen turtle shell for the Frozen shield and the flesh knuckles for the hero Shield the Frozen shield provides six defense

And grants 25% decreased damage taken to the player when under 50% Health the hero Shield provides 10 defense and causes enemies to Target you more both accessories also redirect 25% of damage dealt to another player in the world if you’re in multiplayer which makes them both a lot more useful when playing with

Other people fourth is The angk Shield I’m not going to explain how to craft it because you can see from this picture it’s a lot of work however The angk Shield is great for survivability end game because it offers four defense and Immunity to most debuffs in the game

Including knockback which is necessary if it’s not worth the grind for you swap it out with the shield of cthulu Obsidian Shield or even the brain of confusion since it allows you to dodge attacks and therefore increases tankiness and survivability fifth is the berserker’s glove which is made by

Combining the power glove with the flesh Knuckles and provides a player with eight defense and a variety of other melee Buffs the Power Glove is made by mixing the Ferro Claws and tighten glove and the flesh Knuckles are dropped by the Crimson mimic with a 20% chance six

Is a worm scarf which is a guaranteed drop from the Eater of world and expert in master mode it provides a player with a massive 17% damage reduction which is very useful if you don’t have the corruption make a small world an exper mode and de feed the Eater of Worlds

There seventh and lastly is the master ninja gear you may be surprised to see this accessory on the list but it’s because of the Dodge chance you could use something that gives defense like the Obsidian Shield instead or something that gives more Mobility like wings and ter spark boots although the Dodge

Chance by the master ninja gear gives the possibility to tank any attack in the game except certain instakill attacks it’s made by combining the Tabby from the postplan ter dungeon with the shoe spikes and climbing clogs which can be found early game equipping all these accessories increases our defense and

Damage reduction by 35 and 42% respectively so let’s add those numbers to the counter up top third let’s go over some extra defense boosters make sure you reforge all your accessories to Warden with a goblin Tinker it may be costly but it’s definitely worth it if

You’re low on money just Farm brain a cthulu or Eater of Worlds and sell all the loot warding in all seven accessories would mean 28 more defense get three bottles of water and make three potions endurance life force and iron skin you’ll need an armored kfish from the caverns with blinkroot for

Endurance prismite from the Hallow Moonglow shiverthorn and water leaf for life force and one day Bloom with one iron or lead ore for iron skin this adds 10% damage reduction 20% more health and eight extra defense to the player get a life Crystal and life Fruit From The

Underground caverns and jungle and throw it into the Shimmer to make the vital Crystal and Aus fruit the vital Crystal increases health regen by 20% and the Aus fruit increases defense by four permanently if you haven’t found the Shimmer check out the video I Linked In the description below to find it quickly

Eat food that will give you the exquisitely stuffed buff the two easiest foods that will give you this buff are BBQ ribs and burgers the first can be obtained from many enemies in the post plant dungeon with a 5 to 15% chance and the second can be obtained from ears of

Soul and crias with a 1% chance if you’re watching this video when it got published it’s also Christmas time so you can Farm presents for Christmas pudding gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies all which will give you the exquisitely stuffed buff which will give you four extra defense and many other

Boosts last but not least get the bass statue from fishing or looting in the undergone desert place it nearby and increase your defense by five adding up everything we get from this section we have an additional 49 defense and 10% damage reduction all around so let’s add

Those numbers to the top now that we’ve gone over everything let’s do the moon Lord test fears me without any armor taking a hit from the Moon Lord with zero defense and damage reduction as expected I take tons of damage and die within two hits the death rate doing 308

Damage now here’s what we’ve all been waiting for here is me with the full load out I’ve outlined in today’s video armors accessories on all other items to my surprise I actually took very little damage by the moon Lord before I took 308 and now one hit of the death three

Only did 81 damage which is a huge reduction and as you can see I’m barely even taking damage by the moon Lord and his other attacks I’m literally sitting here and doing nothing and I’m able to tank the moonlet for a whole 40 seconds versus instantly dying before he’s

Barely able to hurt me only the death rate of does a decent amount of damage and that’s easiest to dodge this load out literally mitigates all projectiles and makes you almost Invincible against his attacks you can’t lose and that’s the end of this video I hope you guys

Enjoyed this video because I led making it this build has been a favorite of mine for a while because of how easy it makes endgame Teraria I’m definitely more of a glass Cannon player because doing so much damage is simply so satisfying but this tank build is

Undoubtedly Godly leave a like for more condent like this and I’ll see you guys in the next video peace n

There are three main playstyles in most games: tank, glass cannon, and hybrid. In today’s video, I’ll go over one of the best pre-Moon Lord tank builds that you can use endgame to maximize your survivability. Most tank builds focus on defense, but I designed a build that focuses more on a mix of defense and damage reduction to maximize your chances of surviving any fight. I go over armor, accessories, and then other sources of defense and damage reduction such as potions, foods, modifiers, and more. If you want to defeat the Moon Lord and you need help, this video is definitely worth the watch. Leave a like for more content like this and I hope you guys enjoy the video! 😀
