Phoenix Counters (7.41f)
Who counters Phoenix in Dota 2 7.41f? The heroes Phoenix beats and loses to, ranked by win rate from ranked matches.
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, Mars and Monkey King fold to its sustained burn. Phoenix is countered by burst and break that kill the egg fast or out-trade: Bloodseeker, Legion Commander and Lifestealer punish it, while Riki 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.
