In comparison to the other medics, is Phoenix viable?
Is Phoenix Worth Buying?
Definitely a good combat medic with multiple viable loadout cards. Haven’t regretted getting him at all.
His instant charging heal is quite hard to use, because you have to calculate when will your team mates near you is going to die.
because theoretically, full-charge the heal and using it right before your team die is indeed the best option, but even if you use it as your own heal, his combat retentivity is best of all mercs unless you don’t die, or run out of ammo.
Very hard to do so becuase his health is only 100, but he is worth enough to use as combat medic indeed.
Highly recommend you Phoenix if you got a skill to consistently fight and heal.
Grab a loadout with Quick-Draw (30% faster wep-switch) and in 1on1 you won’t lose even to higher hp dps classes if you have a corner to run behind to. Wear their hp out with your glorious selection of SMG’s -> Switch to pulse and charge it as you jump behind a corner -> release the pulse and grab your trusty fully automatic peagun again to show your rival a what-for.
I’ve started feeling bad for the enemies due amount of hp Phoenix gains with his self-heal ._.
The reference is LinusTechTips during the WAN show. They use Strawpoll which requires 3 things to be entered so they just put turnip as the third one if they need to.
He is worth buying. However if you’re just starting you may consider buying Sawbonez, because he is 20k cheaper.
He’s a pretty awesome combat medic so yeah i recomend him.
He’s a very good combat medic and very fun to use. I would like the healing pulse cooldown a little bit reduced though.
