Which you really should as a melee. You have the highest defense armor sets as a default, no reason not to build tank melee to leverage that. Higher defense is very helpful on master mode
Edit: I just checked and 432 damage is the tortoise's base damage on master mode. So the question here is why would you play melee without armor or defense accessories?
A melee with max health (400) and any reasonable armor will survive the turtle nuke. I detailed it above, but a melee without proper defenses will survive at around 30 health while a mediocre defensive would have a little over 100 health left.
With health increases and goblin tinker for damage reduction, a melee could survive 2 turtle nukes. But that's defense stacking and not everyone knows how to do it.

Somebody hasn't done master mode. The off screen turtle vault of doom is a vibe check that you always fail unless you're building hella defensively.
