I am about to face Skeletron with full Shadow Armor, a couple other accessories with Defense bonuses (currently I have 25, but will bump that to 35 with a Guarding Shackle and Ironskin Potions).

My main melee weapon is a Legendary Blue Phaseblade. I have been abusing the hell out of the chest duplication glitch to have my items reforged; I have only done that once with the Star Cannon I made as it is incredibly expensive to try and get Legendary on it, even with the glitch. It has modifier of Murderous. As for ammo, I built a skybridge to collect Fallen Stars, and go up there every night, even during a Blood Moon. I have 195 stars collected. As a backup, a Deadly Minishark with silver bullets will be carried.

By day I have been going to the Dungeon entrance and mining out the bricks on the surface castle to build an arena there. It is going to be much like the one I made for the Eye of Cthulhu.

Lastly, a couple of Thorns and Swiftness potions will come in handy during this fight. The former so that when Skeletron's head charges me, he takes damage too, and the latter to more easily dodge him.
