The Roman Candle is a magic weapon that can be purchased from the Demolitionist during Christmas. It fires a Vulcan Bolt-shaped item at medium range that explodes like a firework into three spread fireworks, each of them exploding into three streams of color. Only the first firework and the sub-fireworks will cause damage.

It does not autofire, requiring a click for each shot.

Notes

  • The Roman Candle can't be reforged.
  • Makes hitting flying enemies easy due to its wide spread.
  • If the first firework strikes an enemy, it will not split apart.

Bugs

  • As of the Mobile 1.2 update, this item cannot be purchased.

Tips

  • Because it is more effective to have the three projectiles, you should aim a little off-target to allow it to split.
  • It can be obtained by changing your device's time setting to Christmas.

Trivia

  • A roman candle is a type of firework invented by the Chinese, and improved by Romans. It is not shaped like a shotgun in real life.
