I have a question to all of you. Do you play the old ones army? I asked the same thing to my friends but they said no and it really doesn't server any purpose. Imo I think the olds one army is Awesome for all class except summoner. The loot it gives is great and under rated. for example in the first tier of old ones army. You get the war table extra 1 sentry. A extra sentry is useful for all classes its just free dmg. The second tier gives you stuff such as the tome of infinte wisdom which really good against destrotyer/events, and the Phoenix fire which is a solid bow for any of the mech bosses. Then the third tier has all the gems. things such as the flying dragon(Terrablade clone), betsy wraith(piss book's big bro), aerial bane(UNDER RATED BOW WHICH EXPLODES) and finally betsy wings (equal to fishron wings imo)
My only complains I have is the sentries and how it treats the summoner class. The sentries tho good aren't anything great. yes they could do great in invasions but they also suffer from not being viable against bosses/fast targets. The fact that all classes without any accessories can have 2 of them makes me sad. Summoner being the class sentries fall into don't have anything to benefit it. Sure they do summon dmg and hence are boosted by summoner armor but at the same time theres no summoner armor which give extra sentry slots(other than stardust). They imo are more benefited by other classes. All other classes can have more than 2+ sentries with them thanks to the old ones army armor. The armor also give bonus to things such as damage melee speed and mana reduction. The old ones army armor dose not benefit summons in anyway sure it may give a 60% in summon dmg but summoners are built along minions and sentries aren't a good sub.
TL;DR(To Lazy didn't read)
You should do the Old ones army. It is great for the armor and weapons but they don't benefit summoner(other than sentries) as much as it benefits the other classes.
This is just my opinion and how I feel. Tell me what you guys think.

personally i found the old ones army to be VERY useful for grinding set ups, because all i needed to to was get some sentrys and sit and watch them do all the work for me, and that combined with summoner weapons is really good!
i have found however that it can get a bit obsolete near the endgame, as its easier for me to just jump to the higher tier weapons and armor rather than do all the effort to get the good loot from old ones army.
i do think there is a really good set from the old ones army for late game though so it might be just me

Valhalla Knight armor has been my endgame armor since it was added. The regen boost is insane! And it also lets me rain hell upon anything whether with the ballista staff or the rainbow crystal staff.

I do OOA almost everytime, it's underrated imo. All of the betsy drops are very useful (especially betsy wings+ soring insignia for Moon Lord), other drops are great too. They reduced defender medal prices so it's even easier to save up for next level's sentry staff.
Lightening Aura is the best one to do the OOA imo, in final waves it takes care of almost every enemy (unless it's legendary mode) giving you a plenty of time to fight betsy.
Sentry Set bonuses from armor sets aren't that great against bosses.
I tried melee + summoner hybrid once against GFB Moon Lord with Valhalla knight set but with spookey helmet for an extra minion slot, but it wasn't too good, full spooky armor was better but maybe I did something wrong.

Yeh I must admit I don't really care about OOA stage 1 and 2 but the third stage is awesome
The weapons are good, the wings are good, the armors are great. Not a lot of people know that dark artist set has almost the same % buffs as nebula armor
I guess the tome of infinite cheese is worthy of a praise among mediocare lootpool of 2nd stage

tier 1 & 2 i don't care about (neither does anyone else tbh) but tier 3 i do occasionally (even did it once in my melee playthrough for Flying Dragon) and some of the stuff is pretty cool
