The Phoenix Blaster is a type of gun, and essentially acts as an upgraded Handgun, featuring increased bullet damage and velocity but slightly less knockback than its predecessor. It is third only to the Musket and Star Cannon in base damage among guns available prior to Hardmode, but with more than triple the rate of fire of the Musket. However, it cannot be autofired.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Tips

• The Phoenix Blaster is useful into early-mid Hardmode, outclassing many early-Hardmode weapons.
  • With reasonably rapid manual clicks/taps, the Phoenix Blaster can eclipse the Minishark in damage rate.
• The Phoenix Blaster is highly effective against the Wall of Flesh due to its high base damage and fire power

Trivia

• The Phoenix Blaster, like the Handgun, is modeled after the Colt M1911 pistol.
• The Phoenix Blaster appears to have a flashlight/laser "Under-barrel" attachment under its barrel, although it is unusable.
