Phoenix (PH) in Dota 2 7.41: win rate, pick rate, the heroes Phoenix counters and struggles against, and its best teammates — from recent ranked matches by Batru's AI win-prediction pipeline.
Phoenix counters & matchups
Phoenix is a teamfight powerhouse whose Sun Ray sustains and burns, Icarus Dive engages, and Supernova forces a fight with a healing egg that stuns on death. It's strong into clumped, immobile heroes its AoE melts: Templar Assassin (59.8%), Mars (58.9%) and Monkey King (58.8%) fold to its sustained burn. Phoenix is countered by burst and break that kill the egg fast or out-trade: Bloodseeker (46.3%), Legion Commander (48.1%) and Lifestealer (48.2%) punish it, while Riki (48.6%) ambushes it. Draft tip: Phoenix is a premier teamfight + sustain core into grouped drafts; it's weaker into fast-egg-burst and anti-heal line-ups.

Its best partner is Spectre (59.1%): Supernova forces the fight, Haunt cashes it in for a wipe. Meepo (57.4%) and Wraith King (57.2%) also feast on the locked, burning enemies. Give Phoenix a hard-hitting follow-up and its Supernova-forced fights become guaranteed wins.
