Phoenix is a flexible and unique ranged strength hero with a plethora of powerful abilities that inflict heavy damage over time on its opponents at the cost of its own health. It can be played as either a support, initiator or semi-carry. Icarus Dive can serve as either a harassment tool, an initiating maneuver or an escape mechanism, all the while slowing and damaging opponents in its path, while its Fire Spirits burn and cripple the opponent's attack speed, making it a potent anti-carry. Sun Ray projects a powerful beam in front of Phoenix that burns enemies for a percentage of their maximum health while sacrificing some of its own health, and, if it ever sees fit, it can end its current life to turn into a searing Supernova. Surviving this stage of its life cycle allows Phoenix to reemerge in full strength, stunning all nearby opponents and with all cooldowns (except its ultimate) refreshed, ready to inflict havoc on its foes once again.
Bio
Phoenix▶️ "Chirp!"
Lore:
Alone across an untouched darkness gleamed the Keeper's first sun, a singular point of conscious light fated to spread warmth into the empty void. Through aeons beyond count this blinding beacon set to coalescing its incalculable energy before bursting forth the cataclysmic flare of supernova. From this inferno raced new beacons, star progeny identical to its parent, who journeyed an unlit ocean and settled in constellatory array. In time, they too would be made to propagate through supernova flame. So would this dazzling cycle of birth and rebirth repeat until all skies hewn of Titan toil deigned to twinkle and shine.
By this ageless crucible the star that mortals would come to call Phoenix collapsed into being, and like its ancestors was thrust into an endless cosmos to find a place among its stellar brethren. Yet curiosity toward that which the dimming elders comfort in the darkness consumed the fledgling, and so over long cycles it inquired and studied. It learned that among worlds both whole and broken would soon stir a nexus of remarkable variety locked in an enduring conflict of cosmic consequence, a plane which would find itself in need of more influence than a dying sun's distant rays could provide. Thus this infant son of suns took terrestrial form, eagerly travelling to shine its warmth upon those who may need it most, and perhaps seize upon its solar destiny.

Icarus Dive
Phoenix dives forward in an arc with a fixed distance in the targeted direction, dealing damage over time and slowing the movement speed of any units it comes into contact with, and then orbiting back to its original position. If Phoenix casts Supernova, the dive ends.

Though no stranger to travelling the cosmic void, soaring within an atmosphere offers unique pleasures.
- The health cost (15% of current health) is direct HP Removal.
- Cannot be cast while rooted. However, getting rooted during the dive does not cancel the dive.
- Dives at a speed of 1000, slowing down upon reaching max distance to turn, and then diving back at the same speed starting.
- Icarus Dive has a 2 seconds travel duration. Does not disjoint projectiles, and Phoenix is still vulnerable during the dive.
- Phoenix always dives clockwise, hitting units on the left side of the dive first. Units right in the middle of the arc might not be hit.
- The dive is canceled when Phoenix is stunned, cycloned, hexed, slept or affected by other sources of forced movement.
- Phoenix can attack, cast spells and use items while diving (including channeling spells).
- However, Sun Ray inactive during the dive, making it uncastable.

- Can deal up to 40/120/200/280 damage to a single unit (before reductions).
- Replaces Icarus Dive until the dive stops.
- The cast of Stop Icarus Dive is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.

- The Health cost (20% of current health) is direct HP Removal.
- Interrupts Phoenix' channeling spells upon cast.

Sun Ray
Undispellable
The vent through which such stellar energy flows is mere atoms wide.
- The health cost (6% of current health per second) is direct HP Removal.
- Drains 2% current health in 0.2 second intervals, starting 0.2 seconds after cast, resulting in 30 drain instances in 6 seconds.
- This results in a total health cost of 30% of Phoenix' initial current health on cast to sustain the full 6 seconds.
- For better readability, the turn rate during Sun Ray is given as degrees per second, instead of radians per 0.03 seconds.
- 25 degrees per second equal a turn rate of 0.013.
- Has 175 non-lingering ground vision around the Ray for the duration.
- Sun Ray is canceled if Phoenix gets stunned, silenced, cycloned, hexed or slept. Roots and forced movement do not cancel it.
- Duel and Savage Roar do cancel it, while Berserker's Call and Winter's Curse's taunt do not.
- However, while affected by the taunts, Phoenix cannot change directions, Toggle Movement or manually Stop Sun Ray.
- Sun Ray sets Phoenix' movement speed to 0 (has priority over hastes) and disarms Phoenix for its duration, so it cannot move or attack.
- Phoenix can use items and abilities during Sun Ray (including channeling spells). Casting Icarus Dive during it does not cancel it.
- During Sun Ray, Phoenix does not need to turn to cast targeted spells or items.
- Sun Ray is inactive during Icarus Dive, so it cannot be cast during it.
- Deals damage or heals in 0.2 second intervals starting 0.2 seconds after cast, resulting in up to 30 damage or heal instances per unit.
- Initially, the beam deals 14/20/26/32 + 1.5%/3.25%/5%/6.75% of the affected units' max health as damage per second.
- For each passing 0.2 seconds, the damage increases by 0.466/0.666/0.866/1.066 + 0.05%/0.108%/0.166%/0.225% of their max health.
- In 6 seconds, the damage reaches 28/40/52/64 + 3%/6.5%/10%/13.5% of their max health per second. At this point, the ray stops.
- Initially, the beam heals for 7/10/13/16 + 0.625%/1.25%/1.875%/2.5% of the affected units' max health per second.
- For each passing 0.2 seconds, the heal increases by 0.233/0.333/0.433/0.533 + 0.0208%/0.0416%/0.0625%/0.0833% of their max health.

Aghanim's Scepter Upgrade:
Increases number of attacks to destroy Supernova and allows Phoenix to cast Supernova on an allied hero, bringing both into the sun to be reborn together. Does not refresh ultimate abilities.
The solar crucible of a Supernova may be fatal, yet from its flames arise new beacons to wander infinity.
- Does not refresh the cooldowns of items and ultimates.
- Only attacks from heroes (excluding illusions) can damage the sun.
- Disjoints projectiles and applies a strong dispel upon cast. Also dispels Fire Spirits.
- Supernova does not kill Phoenix. Instead it is hidden, invulnerable and spell immune for the duration.
- If the sun survives, Phoenix' health and mana are replenished and all other spells are refreshed.
- Since Phoenix does not die, all buffs which cannot be removed by hard dispels still stay.
- Units affected by Supernova (including the caster) cannot act at all, so that actions cannot be ordered or queued up during it.
- However, any auras Phoenix has remain active, including Gem of True Sight and Radiance.
- If the sun gets destroyed and Phoenix has an Aegis of the Immortal, it still uses the Aegis and comes back to life.
- The damage is provided by an aura. Its debuff lingers for 0.5 seconds.
- Deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting 1 second after the debuff is applied, resulting in up to 6 possible instances.
- Can deal up to 360/540/720 damage to a single unit (before reductions) when it stays in range for the full duration.
- The sun can be denied once it drops below 50% health. Doing so also denies Phoenix (and the ally inside).
- Destroys trees within a 500 radius around Phoenix upon cast.
- Aghanim's Scepter turns this spell into a single target spell with 500 cast range.
- The cast range is only for selecting a unit within the range. The sun still appears on Phoenix' current location.
- Can only target allied heroes, including illusions and self (double-tapping casts it on self).
- Applies the exact same effects on the ally as it does on Phoenix (disjoint, strong dispel, hide, disable, and fully restores when not destroyed).
- Interrupts channeling spells of the ally, but does not end spell effects with that stay after being cast (e.g. Eclipse).
- Toggled abilities like Rot or Pulse Nova and their auras are not turned off.
- Destroying the Phoenix Sun credits both of the heroes' deaths to its destroyer.
- If the sun gets destroyed and Phoenix has Reincarnation, the ally is released with its health, mana and cooldowns unaffected.
- If the sun gets destroyed and the ally inside has Reincarnation, it reincarnates while Phoenix dies.
