Phoenix's kit revolves around building Pyre via Combustion Attacks and leveraging the Sear state from her Core Passive. Prioritize Core Skill and Special Attack to maximize Anomaly DMG CRIT rate and Pyre generation. Basic Attack and Chain Attack provide supplementary Pyre and burst. Dodge and Assist are generic utilities.
