Should I be setting up an arena to defeat the Pumpkin Moon?

If you think I should be, how should I do it? I have full Spectre armor, Magnet Sphere, Rainbow Gun, Golden Shower, Heat Ray, Leaf Blower, Staff of the Frost Hydra and the Nimbus Rod.
Best Answer
Yes.
You want:
- a small box for you to stand in with honey and a slime statue.
- campfire and heart lanterns
- any buff potion you can get your hands on
- full damage boosting menacing accessories
- best reforge on all weapons
- spear traps underneath you hooked to alternating timers
- teleporters moving enemies directly under the spear traps
- an arena in the sky so that all the enemy spawns will happen in your arena to maximise kill speeds

How do I beat the pumpkin moon?
The event can be summoned at any time post-Plantera, but it is usually done after Golem and Duke Fishron have been defeated, and before the Frost Moon.When should I fight the pumpkin moon?
the pumpkin moon is much easier than the frost moon. First of all the way the Ice Queen moves slows down your progression in the waves. While the Pumpking is always really close to you so you can easily deal quick damage on him.Terraria: How To Summon \u0026 Defeat The Pumpkin Moon (Halloween Event)

Answer 2
You can, if you want. There is one easy "arena". Basically you need
- Cannon
- tons of cannonballs
- building material
- campfire
- heart lanterns
- one Dungeon spike
All you do is make a small box, at the top of the box, Place your cannon, preferably on a platform.
Have the box have two layers of platforms. one right under the other. Have an opening at the bottom of the box so that the enemies get hit by constant cannon fire.
place the Dungeon spike under the platform so you take constant damage. Don't worry that is what the Heart lantern and campfire are for. Make a small hole so the mobs can enter. The mourning woods won't be able to climb to you so you should be safe.
Make sure the trap isn't near any caves. Now all you need to do now is summon the pumpkin moon. Place yourself on the spike and constantly spam cannonballs facing upwards.
