For the record, I beat this with Necro Armor set and a Star Cannon. I had 150 shots and I only used about 100 shots to kill it. Dropped fast - did it solo. Got Warrior's Emblem - not really what I wanted but oh well. First try, didn't die, didn't have a nurse underground.

I built a Hell Bridge but only for 1000 blocks or so, I didn't even traverse 1/4 of it by the time I killed it so ~500 blocks should be enough of a bridge. He pushes you if you get close so I'd suggest making sure you're at least 20 blocks above the lava for your bridge.

I also made a house with a bridge around where I summoned him, and a bit underneath, with wooden platforms for easy access up in case I died. I didn't end up needing it, but I wasn't sure how hard he'd be so I did it anyway. It would be a great way to jump back into the battle before he's too far away for someone who hasn't done it before or dies.

My accessories were the health regen ring (can't remember name), Spectre Boots, Obsidian Shield, Cloud in a Balloon, and Lucky Horseshoe.

I used the Obsidian Skin Potion, Health Regen Potion, Ironskin Potion, and had 30 Health Potions in inventory.

I carried the Ivy Whip and Molten Pickaxe as tools.

I'd add this to strategy but I'm lazy, so it ought to help anyone reading the comments and wondering what strategies work aside from those listed. While my gear *is* mostly endgame gear, I only have 40 hours logged playing as of today, so it's very doable.
