The Phantom Phoenix being used on a group of Target Dummies.

The Phantom Phoenix is a Hardmode bow. When used, it fires a slight spread of two arrows, alongside a large Phoenix projectile every third shot. The Phoenix projectile travels in a wave motion, pierces infinitely^[1], and deals 200% of the weapon's damage. (64 base damage)^[2] Upon contact with blocks, the Phoenix explodes, dealing damage within a 6×6-tile rectangular area centered around the point of impact, and inflicting the Hellfire debuff for 8 seconds. The Phantom Phoenix also converts Wooden Arrows into Flaming Arrows.

The Phantom Phoenix is dropped by Ogres during the Old One's Army event, with a 1/10 (10%) / 1/5 (20%) chance during Tier 2, and a 1/20 (5%) chance during Tier 3.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• While equipping a full set of Dark Artist armor, the area of the Phoenix projectile's explosion is increased from a 6x6-tile rectangular area to a 13×13-tile rectangular area.^[3]
• Technically, when the Phantom Phoenix is being used, it spawns a bow projectile which deals the weapon's damage (32 base damage) on contact. The bow projectile then spawns projectiles based on use time.^[4]
• The Phoenix projectile will dissipate upon contact with liquids.^[5]

Tips

• The Phantom Phoenix has lower base damage than the repeaters available during early Hardmode. However, it fires two arrows at once, doubling the total damage done, and converts normal arrows into Flaming Arrows, making the Endless Quiver more powerful. This makes it compete with or exceed the repeaters for DPS when using normal arrows.
  • With Holy Arrows, the double-shooting of the Phantom Phoenix makes it operate like the Daedalus Stormbow, with slightly fewer arrows per shot but easier to aim.
  • On the other hand, using piercing arrows such as Jester's or Unholy Arrows will make enemies only take damage from one of the arrows, cutting the damage output in half.

Trivia

• Like the other Old One's Army weapons, the Phantom Phoenix is a direct reference to the weapon of the same name in Dungeon Defenders 2, due to its implementation as part of a crossover event.
