All the abilities of Phoenix in Valorant
In ‘Hot Hands,’ Phoenix possesses a skill akin to a Molotov grenade in previous games. By bending a flare orb to the left (Mouse 1) or right (Mouse 2), he may blind opponents, perfect for catching them off surprise around a corner!
Blaze: Equip a flame wall. Fire to create a line of flames that moves forward creating a wall that blocks vision and damages players passing through it. Hold Fire to bend the wall in the direction of your crosshair.
Curveball: Equip a flare orb that takes a curving path and detonates shortly after throwing, impairing vision. FIRE to curve the flare orb to the left, detonating and blinding any player who sees the orb. Alternate Fire to curve the flare orb to the right.
Hot Hands: Equip a fireball. Fire to throw a fireball that explodes after a set amount of time or upon hitting the ground, creating a lingering fire zone that damages enemies.
Run it Back: Instantly place a marker at Phoenix’s location. When this ability is active, if you die or if the time expires, the ability ends and sends Phoenix back to the starting location.
Phoenix’s Blaze ability creates a flaming wall, allowing you to section the area and push with your remaining abilities.
Phoenix is a jack of all crafts, but his Ultimate is definitely his most potent. ‘Run it Back’ briefly frees the Agent from penalties. Even if he dies during the skill, he returns to where he began with full health. This is ideal for a risky play into a Reactor Site.
How to play Phoenix?
Phoenix, a local Duelist of Valorant, is at his strongest when facing opponents head-on. But it doesn’t mean good play won’t be rewarded. By maximising his usefulness, Phoenix may not only acquire significant advantages in one-on-one combat, but also stay almost self-sufficient by taking territory, holding it, and even healing himself.
If you’re not sure what’s coming, throw a Curveball. However, you must be careful not to blind your comrades, so practise the ability to learn the range. You’ll be blinding foes in no time, enabling you to leap in and explode some heads.
Phoenix shines when his powers are combined. You can back foes into a corner and roast them with a click of your fingertips by chaining Blaze and Hot Hands together to form a wall.
So that’s how to play as Phoenix in Valorant and master his scorching abilities!
