How to play
Phoenix is a ranged Strength hero — a rare profile that combines durability with safe laning pressure. Look to initiate fights — your kit is built to start engagements on your terms. Built-in escape tools mean you can play aggressively and bail when things go sideways. Your disables and utility are most valuable when enabling your cores to land kills.
