I found that Destroyer's easy to kill if you just go all melee on him. I used Night's Edge with full Cobalt armor, Regeneration Band, and Guarding Cross, and basically just stood in one spot (you have to do this inside a small valley so he comes through both of the hillsides) and hacked at him like a maniac. He gets doubled-bundled trying to charge through you, so the sword's broad arc hits him about 8-10 times per swing.

He'll throw a billion probes at you but the Cross means that even though you're taking non-stop damage, you don't actually get hurt that much. The probes will drop more than enough hearts to keep you alive, although having a potion wouldn't hurt. I was also using Ironskin and Regen.
