Armor: Necro or molten.

Ranged weapons: Stacannon or minishark

Potions: Iron Skin, Obsidian skin, etc...

Other usefull stuff: grapling hook/ivy whip, Rocket /spectre boots, cobalt/obsidian shield, lucky horse shoe etc...

This should help you pretty good. The extra stuff is only if you reach the end of your platform.
