I defeated the WoF on my first attemt, and every attemt after in hardmode (with a bridge. My first killing was with a sunfury and dark lance with shadow scale armour, because I'm just good like that. After that I did it again when I had full adamantite armour and weapons to get the clockwork assault rifle, and ended up trying to set records for it. My bridge was about half the length of a large world, because I thought it moved faster). Then I tried with full adamantite, all the magic stuff I could find, and a ton of potions, but with a gravitational potion instead of a bridge, and I didn't get it below 3,500 health. I was so wrong too! the only thing you really need to do is build a bridge, get some health potions, 300+ total health, and hermes/specre boots and you can easily beat it.
