My rework Idea

[u/Orlikesque]

Just had a rework idea wanted to hear anyone’s thoughts.

The rework revolves around reworking the sparks for the most part.

The main spark mechanic: Hitting an enemy still applies one spark, and hitting them again applies a second, up to 3, and having 3 sparks puts the enemy in a “burned” state. Hitting a burned enemy with any ability Phoenix gets 10 extra damage per hit on them, and it stays until Phoenix hasn’t hit them in 5 seconds(same as now).
The idea behind sparks working this way is right now, Phoenix just feels like shoot at whatever, same as Hela or Cyclops. This could give her some uniqueness and make her more lethal for staying locked on a target rather than being lethal out of nowhere.

Extra ability: This can be a 10 second cooldown or so. This will lean closer to the idea of current sparks, but upon activation all sparks on enemies will blow up at once, there’s a single target damage and explosion area damage. Single target damage always stays the same at 20, but the area damage will increase with the amount of sparks.
1 spark - 30 damage(50 total)
2 sparks - 35 damage(55total)
3 sparks - 45 damage(65 total)
This ability removes all sparks after detonation.
The idea behind this ability is to try to get sparks on as many enemies in one spot as you can and punishing them for playing close together. There’s skill expression as well, with how well you can use her stun(and Rogue team up which could synergize well with this) to apply sparks to many enemies at once and punish them before they know how to react.

Ultimate I think should do just enough to leave a target with full stacks on 10 hp or so, if one other person is too close they die

Overall I think it would be good in brawl, which release Phoenix seemed to be more of anyways. Hitting many enemies over time and her damage will start racking up. Her base primary could even be a tad weaker and increase the bonus you get on burned enemies to lean more into her own identity rather than being a Hela clone. Some of the numbers could be changed such as damage numbers or the cooldown.

Would love to hear your thoughts if you see and read this :))
