Hellstone enhancement and blazing bullet conversion
The Phoenix Blaster is forged at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil by enhancing a Dungeon Handgun with 10 Hellstone Bar ingots. This sidearm fires high-velocity burning projectiles, dealing 30 base ranged damage per shot. When fueled with standard Musket Balls, it automatically converts them into blazing rounds that travel faster, illuminate dark corridors, and set vulnerable enemies ablaze upon impact.
Semi-automatic cadence and anti-armor efficiency
Featuring a Very fast firing rate of 14 ticks, the blaster fires as quickly as the player clicks the mouse button. Despite its modest knockback value of 2, its punchy per-bullet damage easily bypasses boss defense values that normally reduce the rapid but weak shots of the Minishark. This property makes it one of the most effective ranged choices for tackling the Wall of Flesh before transitioning into Hardmode. Reforging to the Unreal prefix provides maximum boosts to projectile velocity, damage, and firing speed.
Trivia
- The weapon serves as the direct hellfire upgrade to the Dungeon Handgun, significantly elevating its bullet velocity and kinetic punch.
