Phoenix’s Ability
ICARUS DIVE
Phoenix moves forward in a fixed-distance arc in the direction it is intended to move, doing damage over time and slowing the movement of any units it encounters before orbiting returning to its starting point. The dive is over if Phoenix casts Supernova.
FIRE SPIRITS
Summons There are four fire spirits that surround Phoenix. Each spirit can be independently released at a specific area of influence. Enemy units that are affected suffer damage over time and have much slower attack speeds.
SUN RAY
Phoenix loses health in order to shoot out a beam of light. The beam deals base damage to opponents while also healing friends for a portion of their health. As the beam keeps firing, the proportion rises. Along with being blinded, enemies also have a chance to miss that grows as the beam keeps firing.
SUPERNOVA
The Phoenix chooses to end its current existence in order to experience rebirth. morphs into a scorching sun that scalds foes across a wide region. Attacks from rival Heroes have the power to obliterate the sun. After 6.0 seconds, the sun erupts, stunning all adversaries in the area and reviving Phoenix’s abilities while replenishing his health and mana.
