Phoenix is a Season 1 Shieldbearer. Use Phoenix when you attack alone: the War skill Decisive Strike gives all troops +16% HP at Lv.5.
Exclusive skills: Arrest Blazing Cloud, War Decisive Strike.
Where this comes from: Phoenix’s hero and Exclusive Equipment screens, captured by MORÖX on S216 (Sep–Oct 2026).
Also from the game: all 6 hero skills (3 Arrest, 3 War) with Lv.1 to Lv.5 values, from Phoenix’s Skills screens (Oct 2026). Jump to skills.
Not yet measured: star upgrades.
What would change this: a game update to Colossus Hammer or to Phoenix’s skills.
When to use Phoenix
Phoenix’s War skill switches on only when you attack alone. In any other battle it does nothing, so a trio built for a different battle leaves Phoenix idle. Read the pick-by-battle table to see who else boosts solo attack battles.
As a joiner, Phoenix brings only the 1st War skill: Crush Defense (Increases all allied troops' DMG dealt by 25%). That counts in Cage. MIRÖX’s call: join a rally with Phoenix, S-tier.
Source: in-game skill screen. Read the Cage guide.
Exclusive Equipment: Colossus Hammer
Shieldbearer HP and Lethality +65.63% at Lv.10.
Colossus Hammer adds +6.563% troop HP and Lethality per level, up to +65.63% at Lv.10 (337,500 power). It does not follow the Season Rule: other Season 1 equipment stops at +52.5% and 270,000 power. Its rate matches no season (from Phoenix’s equipment screen, Oct 2026). Maxing it takes 550 parts.
Odd levels raise the Arrest skill, even levels the War skill
Exclusive skills
Blazing Cloud
When HP falls under 50%, increases ATK Speed by 100%.
Arrest skills change how Phoenix fights.
Decisive Strike
Solo attack: all troops HP +16%.
War skills boost every troop, in one kind of battle.
Max star bonus: Echoes of Glory
Phoenix's legend echoes throughout the Isle of the Banished, boosting ATK of all allied troops by 15% without her even stepping onto the battlefield.
This works while Phoenix is not in the march. At max stars, Phoenix helps from the bench: build your trio with other heroes and still get +15% ATK.
From the in-game max-star tooltip. How it works with several marches: under testing.
Trios with Phoenix
Full Solo-role trio. Edwin is the centerpiece and becomes more dangerous when outnumbered.
Role-aligned Solo setup before Edwin. Veronica adds a chance-based damage-taken interaction.
Season 3 is the first point where a complete pure-Solo trio is available across all three classes.
Hero Combo Academy trios, now in the Trio Lab guide. Every hero in these trios has an in-game War skill for that battle (54 of 54).
Hero skills
Phoenix has six hero skills, levelled from 1 to 5. Arrest skills work in Phoenix’s own fights. War skills boost your troops in the battles Phoenix marches in. In a rally, a joiner brings only the first War skill of the first hero: for Phoenix that is Crush Defense.
Thundering Rage
Increases all allied units' ATK by 10% for 5s. Phoenix's ATK increases by an additional 25%.
Ashes Reborn
When HP falls under 20%, restores to 60% of Max HP immediately. Can be triggered once per battle.
Heavenly Strike
After every 4 basic attacks, deals AoE DMG equal to 300% of ATK around.
Crush Defense
Increases all allied troops' DMG dealt by 25%.
Unyielding Spirit
Increases all allied troops' HP by 25%.
Earth-Shaking Hammer
Has a(n) 20% chance to stun the enemy for 1 round when attacking.
