Tactical Hints: Extremely powerful units due to high initiative and firebursts.
Bursting is only triggered when Phoenix are attacked by certain Attack types (namely Melee and Holy). However, Attack type Paralyse prevents phoenix from bursting (overrides other Attack type - eg. Wraiths's Melee Paralyse attack does NOT trigger firebursts).
As many Melee units are Ground units, Phoenixes can be grounded (eg. Call Hurricane) to make full use of the fireburst. Oil Flasks and Stun can be used to reduce the enemy units' resistance to fire, causing the fireburst to deal more damage.
Note:
countering fireburst
The only reason that phoenix doesn't kill itself with fireburst ("fireburst but phoenix endures") is because it has 100% resistance to fire. If you use any item or spell that lowers its resistance against fire (such as Oil Flasks and Stun), it will cause Phoenixes to damage themselves when their fireburst is triggered.
