In Valorant lore, Phoenix is an agent who uses the power of the legendary firebird. He can flash and prevent enemies from using various paths thanks to his fiery powers. Whether he has the ability to rise from the ashes or not, he will never hesitate to go into battle.
Abilities
- Hot Hands: Throws fireballs that explode after a slight delay or on impact with the map. The flaming area inflicts damage to the enemies and heals the caster.
- Blaze: Summon a wall of fire that blocks vision and hurts anyone passing through it. The wall can also be bent when casting.
- Curveball: Throw a flashbang that curves around corners.
- Run it back: Marks your current location and starts a short timer. When the timer expires, or if you die, you respawn at the marked location with full health.
