Use a Demon Scythe if needed, it will be helpful due to the high piercing and high damage. Get a Heart Lantern, a Campfire and Heart Statues linked to a 1 Second Timer. Don't worry about the Probes, Heart Statues will heal you. I would never recommend a sword for the Destroyer fight if any decent piercing weapon is available at the time. The potential DPS from piercing weapons against segmented enemies is just too good to ignore, especially in this 82-segment-long monster.
