Megashark vs Phantom Phoenix
The verdict
With crit factored in, Megashark puts out 222.9 DPS against 110.9 for Phantom Phoenix — about 101% more damage per second. Base hits are Megashark 25 vs Phantom Phoenix 32, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Megashark swings faster at a 7-tick use time versus 18, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Phantom Phoenix hits with more knockback (2 vs 1), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
