Description

The Phoenix's napalm bombs decimate large clumps of units and light structures.


Tactics and Strategy[edit]

The Phoenix is useful for killing and damaging large clumps of light units, setting them on fire and causing a large amount of damage. However, Phoenixes are also more vulnerable than other bombers.

  • While the low initial damage of the Phoenix is underwhelming, the 10-second burn can make quick work of lighter units like Darts even when they dodge most initial damage.
  • Burn damage will reset the countdown for units with regenerative abilities like Glaives or Reavers, as well as keep units with a cloak from disappearing from sight.
  • Be careful when using Phoenixes around allied units, as the same properties that make them useful against enemy hordes make them a liability in a chaotic front line.
