Icarus Dive:
============
Phoenix dives forward in an arc with a fixed distance in the targeted direction, dealing damage and disarming any units he comes into contact with, and then orbiting back to his original position. If during the 2 second duration of this spell Phoenix casts another spell, the dive ends. Phoenix gains magic immunity for this brief dive period as well. Costs 10% of current HP to cast.

Sun Ray:
========
Drawing from his own inner fire, Icarus expels a huge beam of light at the cost of his own life energy. The beam slows and damages enemies for a percentage of their life. Costs 25% of current HP to activate.
Upon casting, you lose the ability to attack or move directly. Ray extends out to the first hero it finds and burns it and a very small area around it.

Note 2: Automatically shuts off if you are silenced or stunned
Supernova:
==========
The Phoenix willingly ends his current life for the chance to be reborn. Transforms into a burning sun that scorches enemies within 1000 range. The sun can be attacked by enemy heroes; if it is destroyed, the Phoenix dies as well.

best item for me is:
ReplyDelete-ring of health then void (perseverance)
-boots
-lothar
-finish the perse to linken or bloodstone. Depends on your team and to your foes.
this item works on early game for me
here's how it works for me:
since its skills consumes hp go get perse first.then get boots (why late on your boots? - since you have a good AOE skills and u can use sun rays for far range, you dont have to get this first,just go to hp and mana regen items). then lothar. My "teknik" is, use "dive" then the enemy is silenced so i use "sunrays" if the enemy comes close to kill u,fight, while hes hitting u, ur also hitting him with ur sunrays which is nasty XD. if ur not confident and ur HP is low, use lothar, so probably he will run,then just follow him if he is far enough not to hit you (before doing this check if he has a gem)
or if u got tracked by slardar or gondar, skip lothar thing and use nova,then dcide whats best during that situation.
i think that it.
chicken with bottle,
ReplyDeleteboots then shiva's guard. RUSH.
my 2nd lvl 4 tier item would be refresher orb.
phoenix has a very low armor, high hp and mana. before casting his egg, use the shiva, therefore having less risk of the egg bieng nullified by physical attacks. think about the possibilities in team clashes of having a refresher with this hero. team clashes during mid-game, phoenix will really shine.
fire spirits < sun ray.
imo, maxing out fire spirits first. learn the dive and the ray with each both level 1 early on. even at lvl 4 of sunray at early game would just deal a puny 40dps+5% hp. hitting normal attacks would be better.
refresher orb??? you're not yet sure if you're going to be reborn. :P
ReplyDeletemy best build for this hero are the following:
1. threads
2. 2x bracers
3. blade mail
4. point booster
5. radiance
6. tp
when you see an enemy, slug it out with him and activate blade mail. when you're about to die (500HP), use dive, then supernova combo... your enemy will be confused whether to hit you or run. if he runs, he's probably still within range of your sunray. :D cook him!
-arcaneyh
guys can i ask??
ReplyDeletewhats the perfect build for the new heroes..??

ReplyDelete3x IRONWOOD..
and
3x GEM OF TRUE SIGHT..
THIS IS TRUE, NOT JOKE..

ReplyDeletevanguard
ReplyDeletetreads
lothars
bloodstone
radiance
you don't need any regeneration for this, supernova is enough to be able to refresh your hero..
ReplyDeletei played one and i directly build 2 Divine Rapiers without any previous items, just the DRs
well, item that is best for him is
YASHA (for fast ms foes and able to maintain your SunRay)
RADIANCE (it would be at least 80 DPS with SunRay)
ASSAULT CUIRASS (armor plus DPS) can also be Shiva
no regeneration needed just mana and health pool increase since sun ray will just consume 4% (even you have guinsoo, it wouldn't be enough) of your mana and you have FIRESPIRITS as well
MANA POOL -- to be able to use all your skills
HEALTH POOL -- to maintain your high health
ICARUS MUST BE A DPS hero as well, don't waste your HIGH BASE DAMAGE ;)
my build in this hero is :
ReplyDeletethreads
manta
satanic
quirass
manta
radiance
:)
bad bad bad.. supernova is a bad thing.. use it if it is Lv3. why? you cant move/atk or defend yourself. specially.. this hero is a killer/support
ReplyDeletefast game*
vanguard first item. (you need this for using too much sun ray.)
BOT (following enemy with sun ray) *using sun ray will slow you down*
shiva (sunray dive shiva supernova. while in dive use shiva in area so you can stop there and use super nova)
late game*
radiance
linken
heart
the egg is very vulnerable...especially if opponent uses mask of madness...how can the madness problem be escaped...?
ReplyDeletei think i will choose to use item are:
ReplyDeletelinken
shiva
BOT
skadi
cuirass
divine
for me i use the same build as axe
ReplyDeletethe egg might be vulnerable if youre alone, but not with your teamates(in clash) plus the 100 dps. enemies woudnt stand those damage just to destroy
ReplyDeletethe egg...
for me...
-boots of speed
-bladmail
-shiva
-manta or radiance or heart or meka or lothar
-necro(cast it before using supernova, so they could defend you)
-then refresher orb
too strong for a first gamer,and a good support hero for the entire game
2X bracers
ReplyDeletethreads
linken
tarasque
cuirass
-sell the bracers and buy radiance and divine
My PhoniX Item
ReplyDelete1>URN OF SHADOW (FOR HEALING)
2>TANGGO with +8 too all stats with only +-1800 gold and great aura ms and as
3>DOMINATOR for life stealing when you had Satanic yeah you dont nead nova again hahahaha
4>HOT you need this cause your GOD hahahaa
5>DOUBLE YOUR HEART
6>maybe DIVINE RAPIER or TRIPLE YOUR HEART hahahaha

ReplyDeletemy Item build is:
ReplyDeleteBoT
Cuirass
Radiance
HoT
Bloodstone
Linkins
rrrr
ReplyDeletethis hero is so imba man..
his first skill can be use to dispel cast too if u use it well..
his secon skill can hurt n heal your enemies n allied hero when he need health wuahahhaa
his third skill wow yo can run every where wehehee can go to the cliff if you being chased ahahahha
thus and not the fourt skill is so powerfull but if ur allone and our being ambushed by 2 or more heroes and they hit u up to 9 punch u dies..
so you must use this skill if you dare the risk to be a phonix wehehehehee
best item for me would be:
ReplyDelete1.BOT,cud be Pboots(dmg and active phase)
2.Radiance- best item
3.Euls Scepter-very helpful to counter DPS hero who breaks ur egg.when ur always get killed during supernova, euls the hitter, that wud take about 2.5 sec on him, and while his on air immediately cast supernova.after he goes down u only have 3.5 sec to be reborn..thats a big help!also some movespeed
4.Vanguard-early game
5.Shiva-armor and the active skill
6.Necronomicon-havent tried this yet but the thought of the necros protecting you while ur un supernova is cool :D
-cud be tarrasque but it hurts when ur hp is too high and you cast sun ray, -25%
-or cuirass,armor+atkspd..since ur base dmg is high and u have rad.
-Riku.
my build is:
ReplyDeleteStarting items (603 gold)
-ring of basilius for mana regen...
-salve or tango for hp recovery
skill must be the fire spirits since it has low mana cost(75) and it heals and damages friend and foe within the AOE...
fire spirits and dive should be mastered first since spirits provide heal and dive provides escaping/entering battle...
sunray must be last... 40 +5% look like very strong but in early game it does not that very strong since your enemy's hp is low... another thing 25% of current life is reduced for activating this skill... it just gives and opportunity for the opponent to kill you easily...
use your supernova as often as you needed even though you are not in a battle... this provides perfect HP and Mana regen... since the stun is not useful in a 1 on 1 battle...
phoenix can stand alone in mid with this build...
-power threads
-mechanism
since all of phoenix' skills depletes hp mechanism is very useful
-blademail depends on the enemy...
it adds armor and defense on enemy hitter
so enemy would not hit you while you activate this...
-shiva's guard or guinsoo...
to control your distance with enemy heroes
-tarasque
provides additional HP and 2% regen which is very helpful
as you can see every item gives armor or HP so phoenix can stand almost unkillable... just don't be stun locked or use supernova in a gank...
-Cl0uD69
this is the best build ever:
ReplyDeletesoul ring
boots
tarasque
cuiras
ReplyDeletephase boots
vanguard
shiva's guard
heart of tarasq
buriza
this build is a safe yet handy one:
ReplyDeletechick
bottle
crow
2x bracer
boots
then linkens/vanguard, depending on who your opponents are.
the reason for late boots is b/c sunray is constant 250 ms, and you will use it a lot. and you have icarus dive to get you out of hefty situations...
why safe and good?
in this build, the bottle will prolly give about 200 mana, about 500 mana for phoenix(with bracers) for a total of 700 mana... good enough for 2x sunray kills and a Dive-Nova combo right after..
then back to start..
however, it all depends on your playstyle and opponents.
*while casting sunray, your ms is a constant 250.
ReplyDelete*life is 1200+ (pretty good early games) with 2x bracers
magic wand
ReplyDeletemedallion
treads
yasha
heart
cuirass
sange (sange&yasha)
then sell your magic stick and buy
butterfly
try it.. :D
mw built item is
ReplyDelete-BoT
-Soul Ring
-Shiva Guard
-Force staf
-Assault Cuiras
-Ethreal Blade
my build 6 iron wood branch!
ReplyDeletefor me the best build is
ReplyDeletephase boots
vanguard
euls
radiance
and HOT or Cuiras
base on 6.72f
ReplyDelete1st. we can chase ppl with dive and sunray
2nd. dive before nova instead of, i heard shiva? and i never make shiva though
3rd. fire spirits really hurts for the early game, makes me got a combo like: fire spirits - 10s - dive - nova ;)
and my support build are, arcane, bm, taras, refresher. (optional: dagon, ethereal)
but phoenix got nice base damage, like 90-101 in lv. 15 so i'm working on killer build now lol *more likely, hitter
this hero is very strong in 1vs1... just use chicken bottle and perseverance... sunray takes a lot of dmg and slow your enemy and if they try to escape use dive then sun ray again, using that they should be dead. ^_^
