Fire Spirits Fire spirits summons 4 fire spirits that circle

===skill build=== Icarus dive is taken first as an early escape
but then is left till later in the game to level it further. Take it at level 1, 12,
13 and 14. Fire spirits are your main damage source and
are maxed first taking them at levels 2, 3 5 and 7
Sunray can deal huge amounts of damage if used correctly and should be maxed next take
it at levels 4, 8 9 and 10 Super nova is a fantastic ability and should
be take whenever available take it at 6, 11 and 16
Stats are taken at the normal level 15 and 17 onward.
====Item build=== Starting out grab a tango, circlet, mantel
of intelligence and an iron branch. Keep yourself topped up with regen when necessary.
Early items are pretty standard getting brown boots and finish your magic stick.
For your boots you'll want arcane above the other choices giving you manna on tap for
your whole team.
Whenever possible get wards up for your team.
Next up is a rather unusual item Veil of Discord it gives everything phoenix needs armour,
regen and mana.
It also has the active discord which reduces magic resistance of enemies, which in turn
power up your DoT's.
Shiva's Guard is you next go to item giving mana and armour. The active is also good for
keeping enemies inside the range of super nova.
Your skills use a lot of your health so a heart is a great item to pick up.
For the last slot Scythe of Vyse it's a disable with huge mana benefits.
====Gameplay==== In the early game you should be with a partner
in the easy lane if you are a support try and deny as much as you can. Your Icarus dive
can be used to finishes off a target that you think might get a away or to escape from
a bad situation but be careful of the health cost and cool down. Your low armour make you
very fragile. Use your spirits to cancel the enemies potions but beaware that the AoE could
push the lane.
Into the mid game roam around looking for kills initiate with your fire spirits up and
save Icarus dive for chasing due to the long CD. If it is on CD the Sunray can be used
but you move really slow with it up so the enemy might get away. In team fights try and
cover as many hero with your dives, but try not to cancel them inside of groups of enemies
the last thing you want is to stuck in the middle when you have just lost the casting
health. After the dive stick to the side lines and use fire spirits and sunray remember that
you can pivot while casting sunray.
Into the late game stick with your team and use fire spirits to push lanes. In fights
dives are even more important now as firs spirits damage has fallen off. Keep to the
side and use sunray as effectively as possible. Supernova can be either your saving grace
or demise, if you think your going to die you might aswell use it. If you do last the
6 seconds you come back with full health. If not you have pulled some damage off someone
else and dealt the burn damage either way it will help out the team and the Cooldown
will be offset by the respawn time.
