VALORANT Agent Overview: PHOENIX

Phoenix, a free-man from United Kingdom (UK) that unleashes his star power to finish off enemies. These types of agents are also called duelists or fraggers, fighting enemies head-on with their aggressive fighting style. He is a friendly guy who likes to tease teammates and show-off his abilities in the battlefield. Be careful when facing this guy, you'll never know when you're already lying on the floor.

Abilities

Blaze

A line of blazing flame that works as a wall that diverse agents' vision and a permanent damage-over-time. You can control blaze's line by activating the ability and dragging it to curve.

And it heals Phoenix alone, damages anyone who passes through it. This ability is a great vision control for a fragger to set up allies to enter the site and let them unload their abilities to plant or to retake a sight.

Type:	DPS, VC
Cost:	200 Credits
Slots:	1 slot

Curve Ball

Phoenix snaps and creates a ball of fire and throws it, left or right. And then, it pops and blinds agents that sees it explode (a visible light will be shown in agent's head if they are blinded). It acts as a flashbang, in simple terms.

Type:	VC
Cost:	100 Credits
Slots:	2 slot

---

Hot Hands

Phoenix's signature move. A fireball thrown to the ground and creates a wide fire pit that damages everyone that steps in it except Phoenix (Phoenix on the other side takes damage also).

It heals him when he steps on it, perfect for zoning enemies and surprising them with your unexpected push. It restocks after getting 2 frags.

Type:	DPS
Cost:	Free/ 2 frags for restock
Slots:	1 slot

Run It Back

Phoenix's ultimate ability. He creates a clone of himself with his consciousness while his true body vanishes but leaves a burning circle indication on where he started using it. All bullets and utilities you have are brought by the clone and can be used. When the clone dies or the time runs out, it disappears and his true body's brought back in the circle. Though this looks OP, be careful for enemies waiting for you to come back to your original body then back stabs you.

Type:	Respawn
Cost:	7 ult points

Tips

His kit is a perfect fragging composition. Combo up his Blaze and Curve Ball by putting up his Blaze and using Curve Ball across it. It doesn't blind your teammates, since they're behind you blaze, and blinds all enemies on the other side of the Blaze. Then passing through his Blaze to get free kills and heal some damage you take on the process. Saving his Hot Hands to heal after fragging or to clear an annoying corner. Use Run It Back to get information or free frags since you're safe from dying, or use it to rush a site, killing enemies there. Just watch your back since you're vulnerable once your ult vanishes. I recommend buying either a Phantom or a Specter for this guy.

If you love to just "run and gun", this guy is for you. It's just satisfying to frag blinded enemies one by one. Make sure to take advantage of his aggressive kit.
