Guide:Moon Lord strategies

An almost quintessential item for fighting the Moon Lord is the Cosmic Car Key. While moving diagonally away from the Moon Lord, the player is slightly faster than him, allowing for you to take out one hand going one direction across the map and take out the other one vice-versa. This is best performed with a set of Spectre Armor for the healing effect; it is extremely hard to dodge his head laser.

The other (more risky way) is to fly circles around him, this is once again, much easier when performed with the Cosmic Car Key. Going around him allows for the player to dodge the head laser. *Keep note that this strategy requires much more dodging than the previous one.*

Gearing up
A set of Spectre Armor or Beetle Armor will do well on him. Also a good pair of wings such as Steampunk Wings or Fishron Wings. Theese will help you dodge his lasers. For a sword, equip a Terra Blade or higher. For a ranged weapon, a Mega Shark with Chlorotrophyte bullets.
