Gotta love that Supernova burn effect on affacted heroes. I really like how the particles are projected away from the supernova's center, nice touch there Valve.
I play LoL and i WISH it looked half as good as this game. The mechanics are the only thing that puts me off this game. But each man/women to their own, looks like an awesome champion.
Whoa whoa whoa guys, lay off on the insults, he was polite and didnt say anything retarded or bad, so let's not be assholes about this okay ? I mean, by calling our heroes the wrong name, he will obviously burn in hell, so why bother ? :D
Changes to Phoenix have been made since this video was released. This list will contain those changes (not including number changes, since they are very frequent) Sun Ray: Now deals Magic damage instead of Pure damage. Aghanim's Scepter: Increases the amount of hits to kill Supernova from 5/8/11 to 7/10/13 and allows you to click on allies while casting it. Doing this will make them enter the Supernova, which will refresh their health, mana and non-ultimate cooldowns if the it survives like normal. If it gets killed, all allies inside will be killed instantly. Remember to like this comment if it helped you, and feel free to ask me any question.
The animation and model is very good. I still think that his skills need readjustments. I also still like his previous skills concept (though nerfs are surely needed). Sun Ray to be able to heal is kinda weird in my opinion.
This hero looks awesome with its abilities and model, was surprising at the size of it compared to other heroes. So far seems like it has really good early and mid game but power quickly falls off but always has good mobility and can swap to a support hero role if needed
I love how every new hero people say they are OP yet Phoenix is one of the harder picks to use because his abilities are health based, sorta like huskars. So if you dont know what your doing, you die fast.
PODDEAD Huskar isnt hard, but when your main mechanic works to where the more damage you take the better your guy is, i think its safe to say you have to be carefull when engaging.
I'm mostly talking about teams who don't know how to coordinate but are "OK" enough to buy vision and counter other things separately, but you do make a good point.
Im one of those terrible players :D I just go in to middle of teamfight, slow attack speed for everyone, and ult. And thats it. I just dont understand the hero :/
wow I just played as Phoenix, just WOW! beautiful animation, visual and has great sound, Phoenix Ultimate is highlight, super amazing and great effect and sound especially after Phoenix successful reborn, BOOMM! LOL unique hero, need good planning how to use all of Phoenix skills effectively ^^
starfox300 his sun ray is INSANELY powerful! Max it second, right after spirits (and one point in icarus dive, pretty useful and flexible skill - also, always get your ult whenever possible). His ult is best used in the middle of a team fight, after you've used your three skills. You are a huge distraction, threatening with 100 DPS and a long AoE Stun. If you have a warlock or enigma on your team, you'll wipe them almost always.
Needs really good planning. Otherwise your just feed. Have had one every round since update. Fed so hard because he thought he was immune to stuns when he iccarus dived next to my tower.
Just use dive + fire spirits + ulti combo. You will slowed enemy movement and attack speed so they will have hard time dealing with eeg. When they are stunned by your ulti, use sunray to finish it
brphoenix You fucking trolling?? Sun Ray is INSANELY weak. I'd sooner get stats than that fucking trash skill. Seriously, please tell me you are joking.
oh wait let me correct myself, all the spells cost percentage hp, rather than a fixed amount of hp, so he is just a regen bitch, 5 preserverances and a boot :P
RobertAniFreak So true. Why can't people just enjoy both games as they are just different approaches to the same thing and are equally awesome >.< Also, inb4 Anivia x Phoenix shipfics; everyone knows that Anivia is into Crystal Maiden.
Depending on whether spell attacks affect his ultimate form or not, a good strat might just be to pepper all nearby enemies with your fire spirits before going nova. The reduced attack speed will make it much harder for them to simply shoot you down.
Seems broke on paper (but probably isn't in practice) and very fun to play. I'm still waiting for them goblin techies. Valve seems to be porting in new heroes really quickly so they could come along this year or something. Crossing my fingers for it.
***** weaver, nyx, sand king, broodmother, pit lord. I know sk and brood arent actually nerubian, but they're pretty much bugs all the same (idk the lore or anything from dota1, so please dont be mad). I like to think of them that way.
i am a lol and a dota player. i used to play dota.. and phoenix is my main.. he is actually powerful at early and late game... his fire spirits should be the first skill you need... it can deal a huge amount of damage if used properly.. icarus dive is a great way to escape but you the laser should be learned first. then followed by fire spirits and laser again. then when you are level 5 learn icarus dive it is a combo used with the ult.. i recomend building health and armor equipment because he is kinda squishy and can be an easy kill.. always call a teamate to assist you when your going to rush in so they can protect the egg if they are not in it....
I love phoenix :) even though I'm very very new to dota2 (which I have just started for 4matches) my first hero is phoenix. At first he was kinda hard to use but now I start to bully people my level with phoenix *not trying to brag but its true*. This video helps me A LOT by revealing the basics of phoenix so I am really grateful to dotacinema for making introductions and guides for every hero. (Hopefully youll make a advance guide for phoenix too)Keep up dotacinema :D
Thx kosiba. well Azizy.. I may not be a very pro dota player but I may be one someday hopefully.. I played dota for fun but on the other hand competitive. My cousins a tournament player his name is G.o.P with a Phoenix profile. He taught me the skills of playing phoenix so if u wanna play go ahead and play with him.*that's of course one of the main reasons my starting hero is Phoenix * good luck and PS:I'm a Malaysian
half the comments on here are saying that this champion isn't that great, i don't think so, it looks like a nice champion, nice animation and fair abilities/mechanics. vel'koz and anivia are both really good champions that aren't easy to play (anivia more so than velkoz) what you just said is because it's a phoenix and it has an animation that's similar to velkoz's then it's clearly the original (better) version or aniv/vel but you're wrong, stop trying to compare those champs, all 3 have mechanics that really aren't that similar (if you know what you're talking about) and don't take what i've just said as an insult to dota or this champion, as it isn't, i'm just trying to clear any misconceptions you have about the 3 champions.
I must admint, for this being a champ from 2014 and Dota2 champ it looks very, very nice! Here's to hope that we may get a new engine and graphics for LoL too some day...
Big Teamfight near rosh. It is all chaos. The enemy team nearly kills Phoenix when he becomes a big ball of fire. The veteran player is like: "Fast guys focus him!" His team is running around in circles in sheer panic. "Guys? Guys?" WTF BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! RAMPAGE!
Exciting, the hero I've most looked forward to since I first looked up the unreleased content. Though since new heroes will be picked constantly, I'll pick Wraith King to make things a mess. Reincarnation everywhere. Abaddon should get in on it too.
I don't know about you guys, but I think this is the most beautifully rendered hero in the game so far in both model, particle and skill perspective. Unless Winter Wyvern or the other upcoming ones tops it, I think this will be my favourite hero in terms of looks.
I remember the day I first play dota(dota 1) phoenix is the 1st hero I've ever use and I kinda master this character... but since he's a support... I only use Phoenix when Im with my friends... I mean at least I know my teammates lel
It was OP as hell in DOTA1, even after all the nerfs, the fire spirit's total damage, if you manage to land all 4 at the proper time, is MASSIVE, the ray when properly supported hits a ton, the ulti is very hard to take down in practice against a decent user because he'll dive to an awkward spot to cast it and be covered by allies. Most importantly, the hero requires little to no items to really function well, though that's also it's only real weakness , it also doesn't get much better with items. though it hits hard and far enough to make a semi usable semi carry.
At first glance, he seems OP as hell. High mobility, massive attack speed debuff, great AoE. Of course, BKB carries will tear him apart, but still, dive into trees, cliff or whatever and laser away still seems quite good for team fights if they start focusing you.
It's a utility hero that is really hard to kill. But, as you stated, BKB will make it nearly useless. A neat thing is that ilusions don't actually help with the 10 hits to the sun, so PL gets screwed with that. Counters everyone!
dude u didnt play dota 1 before i think, phoenix is pretty easy to counter if u have a good team, hes not that op but makes a lot fun if u can play him
TheBigJinglz you did read what he said right?..he said that pheonix can seem OP..but actually isn't due to how BKB carries and so can easily focus him down...
tried this hero today, and became one of my favorite heroes in instant! slowing MS and AS nuke, huge range damage nuke, and huge area stun, a perfect hero for a supportive yet active players like me :)
i love this hero so much! he is so elusive, and deals a shit ton of DPS. I think he is on the verge of being overpowered, but just not there, since with a bit of coördination he is easily killed during his ultimate. i love juking during teamfights, by pretending your are GTFOing using dive, but not end the dive, return back and press r. NOBODY i have encountered expected that and it works amazingly great. I have dominated many games on the mid lane already. keep up the good work, volvo! next up, techies and pit lord :)
Dear Fanboys, Why does everyone criticise LoL players for playing LoL and Dota players for playing Dota? Fuck your fanboys. Just play which ever game you like. Personally, i am a LoL player but that doesn't mean i smack talk Dota. And yes Pheonix's E ability is similar to Vel Khoz's ultimate but doesnt mean one stole the idea from the other. Just play which ever game you like and let others do the same. Sincerely, Everyone
Since phoenix has a attack speed debuff, I think it will be quite OP... The ult pretty much won't ever be cancelled, everyone will preffer to run away from it if he ever lands the debuff. And I don't see it being played as a carry, since his abilities do so well on their own.
So explain to me how Phoenix and Vel'Koz are even alike in any way besides the part they both shoot lasers? And why someone from league is watching this
What do you think about Phoenix, bad, balanced or op?
Looks pretty
I think is a bit a litlle bit op, but requires skills
not too bad not too op just balanced!
In the past it was op with the cure of the birds and the disarm of the icarus dive and when the beam hwas the ability to slow enemies.
He will fuck up pubs, because killing him requires teamwork. And pubs with teamwork is something that exists only in dreams.
So beautiful, thank god they stayed true to the dota phoenix.
Gotta love that Supernova burn effect on affacted heroes. I really like how the particles are projected away from the supernova's center, nice touch there Valve.
Same thing when you use the Radiance.
I play LoL and i WISH it looked half as good as this game. The mechanics are the only thing that puts me off this game. But each man/women to their own, looks like an awesome champion.
We prefer to call them Heroes ;)
mechanics put you off? Too hard for you to control/understand? lol
tung hoang Calm your ass down punk.
What are some of the mechanics that put you off?
Whoa whoa whoa guys, lay off on the insults, he was polite and didnt say anything retarded or bad, so let's not be assholes about this okay ?

Slow down valve I'm still trying to figure out earth spirit
My thoughts exactly
i already gave up on earth spirit, i am good with storm, i am ok with with ember, and as far as i know there are no more spirits in dota2 :)
@@squareroots6003 Jokes on you now there's Void Spirit
Dammit, Valve stop making heroes, we need more couriers.
You mean hats, right?
just shut up
this hero was made 3 or 4 years ago in dota 1.
you mean we need half life 3
their just transferring dota1 hero ._.
Its .... so .... b-e-a-u-tiful
I don't care what it does. I just want to play it.
Just a reminder: His dive used to have Disarm, his Spirits used to heal, and Ray used to slow.
Still, he can be pretty powerful.
Yeah, the ray used to slow, make a fucking lot of damage, and not have any cd
Yeah thats OP phoenix
This is one of the best Dota 2 updates ever. Phoenix looks amazing. The particle effects are superb. AND SO MUCH CONTENT!!! THX VOLVO
His ultimate looks fucking awesome!
The animation and model is very good.
I still think that his skills need readjustments.
I also still like his previous skills concept (though nerfs are surely needed).
Sun Ray to be able to heal is kinda weird in my opinion.
nobody cares
@@midnightduo1 komentalavu
This hero looks awesome with its abilities and model, was surprising at the size of it compared to other heroes. So far seems like it has really good early and mid game but power quickly falls off but always has good mobility and can swap to a support hero role if needed
Phoenix's ulti one of the mightiest and most awe inspiring ultis in dota. I remember when you could hear it, all over the map in dota 1!
My body is ready
I love how every new hero people say they are OP yet Phoenix is one of the harder picks to use because his abilities are health based, sorta like huskars. So if you dont know what your doing, you die fast.
because we all know huskar is very hard to play
PODDEAD Huskar isnt hard, but when your main mechanic works to where the more damage you take the better your guy is, i think its safe to say you have to be carefull when engaging.
Phoenix is legitimately strong, people who say Terrorblade is OP are idiots though.
Because phoenix is a strength hero. Just buy 2 bracers and boom sustained.
I'm 8 years late
Pretty cool that this hero has not changed at all in 9 years. Its abilities are perfect lol
Phoenix is OP vs idiot teams with absolute 0 coordination however he's well balanced otherwise.
Riki with radiance is op against idiot teams too, basically everything is op against idiots
I'm mostly talking about teams who don't know how to coordinate but are "OK" enough to buy vision and counter other things separately, but you do make a good point.
Lol, i havent seen a single good Phoenix player, and this is coming from someone whose seen one every round.
Im one of those terrible players :D I just go in to middle of teamfight, slow attack speed for everyone, and ult. And thats it. I just dont understand the hero :/
wow I just played as Phoenix,
just WOW! beautiful animation, visual and has great sound,
Phoenix Ultimate is highlight, super amazing and great effect and sound especially after Phoenix successful reborn, BOOMM! LOL
unique hero, need good planning how to use all of Phoenix skills effectively ^^
He is kinda gimmicky though, I don't think he is very good.

My god those skills look so god damn awesome!
Sounds like a Heart is a must for this hero.
sounds like 5 hearts and a boot it is, maybe just switch one heart for a satanic,
oh wait let me correct myself, all the spells cost percentage hp, rather than a fixed amount of hp, so he is just a regen bitch, 5 preserverances and a boot :P
A fire Phoenix with strength ?
Is that Anivias boyfriend :p
If LoL and Dota 2 were to team up, we'd get A Song of Ice and Fire.
inb4 all characters die in the first chapter.
Marko Vinu So like Superman and Batman teaming up and people still fight over who is better?
RobertAniFreak
So true. Why can't people just enjoy both games as they are just different approaches to the same thing and are equally awesome >.<
Also, inb4 Anivia x Phoenix shipfics; everyone knows that Anivia is into Crystal Maiden.
though to get a song of ice and fire we would need anivia, pheonix, and naga siren :D

Don't forget Eddard Stark :3

Awesome work on the animations and the model. Looks soo great
this sounds like the ultimate partner for legion commander
Legion Commander is also an optimal counter, because of Phoenix's low base HP and negative base armor, and the Duel silences the Ult.

This bird is like the better version of Anivia AND Vel'koz!

can you hide in trees and cast phoenix's ulti or is the sun visible despite fog of war, etc?
It's not. But they can see the sun burn animation on their heroes so they know it's channeling.
waiting for a long long time my lovely phoenix
Big Teamfight near rosh. It is all chaos. The enemy team nearly kills Phoenix when he becomes a big ball of fire. The veteran player is like: "Fast guys focus him!" His team is running around in circles in sheer panic.

just add Weaver as well, heck a good Ursa could be on the team as well since he can early Rosh.

Nagi Kengamine What? No... have you ever stopped to look at Slardar? Damn that is so beautiful
10/10 Would dismember. :)
Damned Valve, i wanna Goblin Tech!!!
pls no
Valve doesn't know how much money could be made from techies cosmetics. He is as popular as pudge after all.
Ultimaetus
i for one thinks they are the most befitting hero to be the last to be released, save the best for last, end with a bang, that kinda stuff.
Ultimaetus Yeah, i think i am gonna buy arcana for techies, if it's possible :)
Will Ferrous Problem is that it won't "end". New heroes (And items) are regulary added every now and then, just look at Nerif and Earth Spirit.
Can't wait to play this hero! The model and animations are very impressive as well.
this hero is very very strong, trust me
the skill animations are so satisfying!
hmmm, the 2 new heroes are actually fairly balanced, I can see some big plays and some VERY big fails in the coming weeks
I'VE BEEN waiting for this GUY!
Someone know where they going to relese frost wyrm? She rocks
phoenix has one of the, if not best animation and effects on a hero

Just cast W before your ulti and you will survive.
As a person who plays support, it will be so awesome to have a support character with a proper escape mechanism.
Why... WHY Phoenix? -.- he will own us all.
tried this hero today, and became one of my favorite heroes in instant!
slowing MS and AS nuke, huge range damage nuke, and huge area stun, a perfect hero for a supportive yet active players like me :)

Chee Jen Ngeh Except she can't use her ult on the sun.
you actually can cuz i did it
Tide and Phoenix combos are coming, just blink into team fight do both ulties and protect the egg, you would win team fight for sure, pretty op combo
and now, Techies
:D
They will be last, I wish you people would understand this.

Wow very fiery, such birdsey, much fps drop ;)
I hope the heroes come out a few months before TI4 to see what teams can do to amaze people even more!

yeah nice new vel'koz skin
