Personally, the invasion events, going by difficulty, are:
Goblin invasion
Blood Moon
Goblin invasion 2.0 (summoning in hard mode offers new enemies into the mix)
Pirate invasion (assuming you don't summon it in easy mode)
Solar Eclipse
Pumpkin Moon
Martian Madness
Frost Moon


The frost moon is still kinda cheap, but only because those flying enemies never seem to play fair. Between the Ice Queen floating off stage, and the Elf Copters being surprisingly durable and quick, you really need a good arena and a lot of mobility to tackle that event. Banners, a honey pool, campfires, water candles, heart lanterns, and end game armors/weapons are a must if playing solo. Martian Madness is difficult, but if you plunk down a two block thick wall above your head and summon the stardust dragon it's trivial to latch onto the underside of the blocks, and kill anything. Those saucer trophies are quickly stacking up in my inventory.


Separate issue, anyone else experiencing a lot more slow-downs in the game? My lower specification laptop is pretty much par for the course, but even with a 3930k and 7970 the game occasionally slows down. After about 10 minutes of play the issues resolve themselves, but it's personally a new experience for me.

Can't say that I have. If you have multicore lighting on I would turn it off, I had issues with it on.

Once in a while the game locks up for a second or two for me. Never found out why and I don't think it happens to anyone else in the server.

lol, King Slime is easy when you get him stuck in your house ;) He would be really hard in an open area for sure.
The bastard shrunk down and went through a 3 high large tree. I was trying to evade him but it didn't work. :(

Yup, this sounds like the multicore lighting issue, I had it as well. Check in your options for multicore lighting, turn it off it should fix your issues.

I do know it kind of locks up every time the background changes. It is especially noticeable when riding an underground rail.

I just did it, got to wave 15 to get the achievement with no real issues. I started late so it turned day half way to wave 16 but if wave 20 it's anything like wave 15 of the pumpkin moon (both are the last waves of the events) it'll be impossible.

wave 15 is nothing compared with the last waves.
especially wave 20. you got at least 5 ice queens flying about.

pumpkin moon is also quite difficult, especially with 10 pumpkings throwing blades at you.

I used solar armor set, all warding accessories, and uses a godly terrarian, and a godly solar eruption

The only way I survived them before expert mode was via the health leaching knives and a lot of spike traps at the bottom of the arena on a timer.
