Phiera Der Tuphello

Phiera Der Tuphello is a weapon in Vampire Survivors. It is one of the starting weapons of Pugnala Provola. It is unlocked by surviving 10 minutes with Pugnala.
Phiera Der Tuphello can be evolved and united into Phieraggi with Tirajisú and Eight The Sparrow.
==Effects==
Phiera Der Tuphello shoots a circular red energy bullet toward each of the four corners of the screen. Each bullet can initially hit one enemy before dissipating. The bullets cannot pass through walls.
Each point in Amount grants an additional bullet in all four directions.
===Arcanas===
Selecting Iron Blue Will (VII) Arcana allows the bullets to bounce off of enemies once and temporarily have infinite Pierce. Upon bouncing, the bullet completely reverses its horizontal and vertical speed returning to the direction it came from.
Heart of Fire (XIX) causes the bullets to explode upon hitting an enemy, dealing half of its damage in an area.
Gemini (I) creates a counterpart - Red Muscle - that is functionally the same as Phiera Der Tuphello. It levels up as Phiera Der Tuphello does and the angles it shoots at is slightly more vertical but does not benefit from Limit Breaking.

==Tips==
*Phiera Der Tuphello already has a low Cooldown, and having more Cooldown reduction can turn the weapon into a stream of bullets, especially when combined with Eight The Sparrow.
*By moving in a single direction, with high Pierce and Amount, bullets can stay on screen forever. This can result in relatively high damage per second on group control.
==Trivia==
*Phiera Der Tuphello, along with Eight The Sparrow and Phieraggi have values in the attributes of "critChance" and "critMul" like any other weapons that can deal critical damage, but they do not have the ability. Given that it is not among the weapons listed by Slash (XVI), there is a possibility that one of the upcoming Arcanas will enable it.
**This was thought to be bug before Arcana was introduced, however, since Slash does not list them, it is likely that the "canCrit" attribute was not set to true intentionally.
*This weapon is very similar to Knife, level ups increase base damage by 10, with focuses on Amount and Pierce. They also fire in relatively fixed directions.
*Replacing "ph" to be "f" in its name literally translate to "Tufello's Fair", an event in the city near Rome and is not a safe place for outsiders. It is also similar to a joke song written by Italian comic duo "Lillo & Greg", "Alla Fiera Der Tufello".
**It may also be a reference to Bayonetta's guns Scarborough Fair, as they are also red.
*This weapon may be inspired by the bullets from the Touhou series. With the sheer Amount comparable to what the enemies from that series spawn, circular red bullet on the edge and fading into white in the middle.
