I would like to ask how can an Arena be built to maximise the amount of kills(especially of Stronger Mobs) for timed events like Frost Moon and Pumpkins Moon. Since these events last only for the night, killing faster is the most important factor to get more loots.
I usually use a generic boss fighting Arena, multiple layers of platform about 6-12 tiles apart with al least 300 tiles wide just above ground with full campfire and lantern coverage, but there are a few problems faced:
- There are little cover from Frost Queen's hail of icicles
- Towards later waves, weaker mobs still roam around distracting against fighting stronger mobs like Frost Queen and Pumpking
- Straight platforms does not help dodging Santa's machine gun
For the purpose of this question, assume only all items before the Lunar events are available.
Even though I asked for Frost Moon and Pumpkin Moon events, please feel free to suggest Arenas that works for other Events such as Pirate or Martian events.

Create an arena with a lot of areas for enemies to spawn. Rows of long platforms, that go off the edge of the screen are best. Try to keep it away from caves, and other things that can get filled up with enemies. Obviously, also use a water candle and battle potion. Create a small box of shelter, or a covered minecart going side to side. Use a weapon like a storm bow, and you should be good.
