  Demonic Force

  Buff

  Phoveus's next Basic Attack charges at the enemy, knocking them back, dealing extra Magic Damage equal to 4% - 6% of the enemy's <1005> (scales with level), and gaining a 8% - 12% <1005> shield. Cooldown: 26s-14s (based on Infernal Pursuit's level).
  
  Astaros' Gaze: Whenever an enemy hero blinks, dashes, or is displaced within 8 units, reduces the cooldown of Demonic Force by 20% and other skills by 0.5s.

  Infernal Pursuit

  Mobility · Burst

  Passive: Demonic Force, Astaros Eye, and Dark Wave apply Sinner's Mark to enemy heroes hit.
  
  Active: Phoveus leaps into the air and smashes down with his monolith at the enemy hero with Sinner's Mark, dealing 250 (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+ 5% target's <1005>) Physical Damage to enemies in the area and recovering 50 (+ 6% of his <1998>).
  
  Infernal Pursuit can only be used when there are enemies with Sinner's Mark nearby. HP recovered is reduced by 80% when multiple enemies are hit.

Hero Relations

Synergizes With

Tanks with good initiation like Gatotkaca, Minotaur, and Tigreal can create opportunities for Phoveus to maximize his damage while they take some of the incoming damage.

Strong Against

Enemies with multiple mobility abilities can greatly reduce Phoveus's cooldowns, so he can use his enhanced Basic Attacks and skills more often when facing heroes like Wanwan, Arlott, and Chou.

Weak Against

Phoveus will struggle against ranged heroes with strong CC, such as Aurora, Valir, and Vexana.
