Well, if you want some tips, here's what I did to beat both the twins and the destroyer.

Build an arena, in a U form. So sorta like this
 * _____________|
 * _____________|
 * _____________|

Put one block of meteorite or hellstone ore in the middle of that arena. If by chance you have heart statues, link them left and right of the meteo/hellstone. Activate them with a timer (doesnt matter which one, though 1-2 are the better options). For defense, here is what you need:

Ironskin potion Strong armor (cobalt is bad, mythril is good, adam is great) cross necklace band of regeneration Philosophers stone greater healing potions Regeneration potion

For offense, I recommend any of the following

strong broadsword, OR a spear, OR a flail. personally I prefer the flail for the destroyer. The Dao Pao is without a doubt the best weapon against this guy, and its also VERY easy to make compared to the other end-game items. Thorns Potion Feral Claws Starfall Cloak

note that the accessories are all your own choice. I prefer the starfall cloak since it deals nonstop damage with this strategy, and the philo/cross accessories because it keeps you alive a LOT longer.

For this battle, make sure you are vulnerable to fire. You -NEED- to take damage from the ore in the middle of the arena for this to work. use a hook or jungle vine to attach yourself to the ore. This should deal 1 dmg per hit, keeping you invulnerable for 1,5 second. In turn, this means you are less likely to take damage from the destroyer, or his orbs. The walls around the arena in turn stop some of their laserbeams. Thorns and starfall will be dealing pretty good damage too. And if you use the Dao of Pao, this battle is nearly already won. Just press and hold the attack button to keep the flail lying next to you, and it will be dealing MASSIVE damage to the Destroyer. You should be able to handle him this way.
