Phoenix Blaster

The Phoenix Blaster is a type of gun.

It does 23 damage and has Very Fast speed. It is crafted at an anvil using a Handgun and 20 Hellstone Bars. Projectiles shot from the Phoenix Blaster fly further and faster than the normal Handgun. Note that, although upgraded, the gun is still single fire and not fully automatic. Like most guns, it uses Musket Balls and/or Meteor Shot as ammo. It is considered the best gun in the game, due to its speed and high attack. This is argueable, however, if you consider the Star Cannon a gun. When combined with meteor shot, it does a formidable amount of damage and rivals the Molten Fury in power (with Jester's Arrows) but easily outstrips it in speed. It´s one of the best choices when encountering a boss since it does about 30 damage per shot. It can take out a boss with around 100 bullets which aren't so expensive since you can earn more when you´ve defeated the boss.

The Phoenix blaster can also be rarely found in chests as of update 1.0.3.

In update 1.0.4. the Phoneix blaster's damage has had a reduction down to 23 (from 26) to balance better with other items of its tier
