I personally found EoC to be pretty easy. I used a demon bow for a majority of the fight, and a gold broadsword, and I had full iron armor. My friend gave me some great tips, so I guess I'll share them.

You should try fighting the Eater Of Worlds before EoC for a few reasons. One being the fact that if you fight the EoW as a first boss battle, the nurse will come and help you. (I'll mention how she can be helpful while battling EoC later) Another reason is that EoW is extremely easy to kill and is very rewarding. You should try to save up demonite and shadowscales from EoW so you can make shadow armor, which will make fighting EoC easy. (Gold armor will probably work too.) You really don't need a good sword or armor, but a bow or a gun are both very helpful considering that EoC  will fly up out of reach a lot. If you have already gotten the Arms Dealer, you should buy a flintlock pistol (if youyou didn't find one in a gold chest) or a minishark, either work pretty well. If you can't get a gun, try making any type of bow, silver or higher should be good. Just shoot at it a lot and if you're on a server with at least one other person, have one person at a time fight EoC and when they have low health, they can go heal with the nurse while one of the others begins to fight. That strategy makes it much easier if you have lower grade tools and armor. Hope this helped! :3
