## Skills

### 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.

### Demonic Impact (AOE, Slow)

_CD: 6_

Phoveus slams his monolith into the ground, dealing 200 **(+120% Total Physical Attack)** **Physical Damage** to enemies in the area and slowing them by 70% for 0.5s. If this skill hits an enemy, Phoveus's next **Demonic Impact** will leave behind an **Astaros Eye**.

**Astaros Eye**: Implodes after a short delay, dealing 100 **(+60% Total Physical Attack)** **Magic Damage** to the enemies.

### Dark Wave (AOE, CC)

_CD: 10_

Phoveus lowers his monolith and releases his demonic power in the target direction, knocking enemies airborne, dragging them along, and dealing 250 **(+100% Extra Physical Attack)** **Magic Damage**.

### 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.**

## Matchups and synergies

**Works well with**: [Gatotkaca](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/gatotkaca.md), [Minotaur](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/minotaur.md), [Tigreal](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/tigreal.md)

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**: [Wanwan](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/wanwan.md), [Arlott](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/arlott.md), [Chou](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/chou.md)

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**: [Aurora](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/aurora.md), [Valir](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/valir.md), [Vexana](https://arena-academy.rone.dev/heroes/vexana.md)

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