Pre-bosses
Prior to encountering a boss, set bonuses from wooden and ore armor will almost exclusively provide additional defense, and accessories will not discriminate by weapon type when giving bonuses. When combined with the general scarcity of weapons and the need to survive, there is little point to sticking to a "class" this early on. For these reasons, players are recommended to make use of whatever they can get their hands on. (Note that Shadewood and Ebonwood are the best variants of the wooden equipment, and even being better than Cactus equipment.) Players can acquire a gun early on by smashing one of the corruption or crimson orbs.

During Halloween, Pumpkin armor can be crafted without killing a boss, and while it gives much less defense than Gold or Platinum armor, it has a +10% damage buff, which is useful if survivability is not a concern. For a more summon based build, the Flinx Fur Coat can be crafted before killing a boss, and while it gives less defense, it provides +1 additional minion and +5% minion damage, which is useful if survivability is not a concern. Most useful with Hermes Boots.
Pre-Evil Boss
At this stage, the majority of weapons obtainable late pre-bosses are still effective, however some new options become available after defeating the first few bosses. Since no armor gives significant damage boosts yet, you can mix and match armors and weapons to your desire.

Pre-Hardmode
Once you start defeating the first bosses new options become available. In addition, you should have enough mana to use magic weapons. However, the armors still only give small bonuses, so you can still safely mix class styles without a significant loss of damage. Dedicated summoners are still rather weak at this point, although their summoning items can be used by any class.

Bee armor is preferable if you are planning to use your minions more often and would like to play a more passive role focusing on dodging more than attacking yourself, but Obsidian armor trades 1 of your minions for +20% additional summon damage, and +50% whip range and +35% speed, which can allow for you to play a more aggressive playstyle compared to the traditional summoner.
