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

The Phantom Phoenix is a Hardmode bow dropped by the Ogre mini-boss during the Old One's Army event. It fires two arrows at a time, spreading randomly similarly to the Chlorophyte Shotbow, and also fires a large Phoenix projectile with a waving arc every third shot. The Phoenix projectile deals double base damage (64base damage), can pierce an infinite amount of enemies (with a 5% damage penalty to the next hit for each enemy the projectile pierces), inflicts the Hellfire debuff, and explodes when colliding with a solid block. It also converts regular Wooden Arrows into Flaming Arrows, similar to the Molten Fury.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• Upon impacting with solid blocks, the Phoenix projectile explodes and damages enemies within a 6×6-tile rectangle area centered on the impact location. Although unlisted, when wearing the Dark Artist armor, this area of the explosion will be increased to a 13×13-tile rectangle area.
• The Phoenix projectile will dissipate upon touching liquids, making the Phantom Phoenix significantly less effective underwater.

Tips

• The Phantom Phoenix has lower base damage than the repeaters available during early Hardmode. However, it fires two arrows at once, doubling 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 the Old One's Army event being a crossover event.
