Sorry for late reply :/

I haven't beat the WoF myself, but I've been doing some poking around and here is probably the best strategy:

First, gear up properly. Shadow/Crimson armor for movement speed if that's what you want, meteorite armor if you're using the space gun, and molten armor for damage and defense. I would say, use a Night's Edge against The Hungry, a star cannon, Shananga or Molten Fury if you're on PC, space gun with meteorite armor and phoenix blaster.

As is important in all boss battles, you need perfect terrain to move around in. The Underworld's terrain is famous for being rough and it's easy to fall into random pits of lava, so build a huge bridge from one side of the map to the other to maximize your space. Platforms are preferable because if a leech or Hungry gets beneath the bridge, you can still shoot them.

Finally, try playing with friends! If you build a house in a corner of the map, put down a bed and have everyone set their spawn, then if you spawn the WoF on the opposite side of the map it shouldn't despawn if everyone dies because people were taking too long to get back down.

Hope this helps! :D
