The Phoenix ultimate skill is a great skill in initiating and teamfighting (with some setup). But it's also very fragile, dying in 5/7/10 enemy hero hits. That's no good. So use this weakness against the enemy! When Phoenix dies in the ult, Phoenix receives damage equal to its max HP (not current) so if you Blademail before you ult you will return all that damage in one go thus, you can give your killer the middle finger all throughout the game because of your +2.90 STR gain.

BOMBS AWAY!!
