As the video shows, Phoenix is a ranged Duelist who fires hitscan blasts out of her hands, meaning the projectiles will immediately hit the target, similar to heroes like Hela, Punisher, Black Widow, Luna Snow, Star-Lord, and Adam Warlock, and not projectiles that need time to travel.
Her Shift ability, like other heroes in the game, is movement-based, allowing her to dodge incoming fire or utilize the Phoenix Force to take temporary flight, while her Right Click activates an AOE explosion on enemies that she has hit with her primary fire. Her E ability merges her with the Phoenix for big buffs.
Her ultimate ability allows Phoenix to launch into the air and crash into the ground with an impact that will deal damage but also destroy all summons, like Rocket Raccoon’s beacon or Peni Parker’s spider mines, effectively clearing the battlefield.
It also appears that the ultimate has a 20-second timer on it, which sounds like a lot, but we’ll see how it feels once she becomes playable.
