How to Counter Phoenix
Phoenix has 250 health and Telepathic Illusion is her only way to dodge damage, so wait for her to teleport and punish her during its 12-second cooldown. Fast divers such as Magik and Daredevil can reach her before her Sparks build up. Don't stack on top of each other when she is landing shots on your team: each Spark explosion hits everyone within 4 m and marks them too, so spreading out breaks the chain.
