If you are playing as a Summoner, the Living Wood armor is the only armor available at the start of the game to provide bonuses for the class. Otherwise, the additional 20 maximum mana from the Silk Cap may be better for allowing more attacks before having to regenerate. While the specific helmet makes little impact, the Silk Hat's increased magic damage may be preferable if you already have a decent amount of mana. If you are playing as a Mage, the Silk armor provides minor benefits to the player's magic capabilities. Having at least 200 life will also help greatly. Examples of such sets include Iron armor or Lead armor, as well as Cactus armor or Icy armor. Additionally, Campfires provide increased life regeneration to nearby players, so you should include at least one in the arena near the middle.ĭue to the simplicity of the encounter, only basic armor is needed.

In addition, when the Grand Thunder Bird charges at you, you will be able to easily drop down or jump up to another level. As the movement options for this point of the game are limited, a good strategy for this fight is to build a 100-120 block wide section of platforms with two levels, so that you can drop down to the lower platform when the Grand Thunder Bird fires lightning bolts, and the tornadoes will not affect you.
