Tips & Tricks

1. Fenix is a great solo laner because of self-sustain and splash damage from his second Weapon Mode (W)

1. Use the splash longer range Weapon Mode (W) for wave clearing and when your team just engaged and you're still looking for a good position and single target.

2. When chasing a single target with single target weapon mode, make sure to stutter step well and change the mode to a long range one as soon as the target gets out of your range.

3. When using Purification Salvo (R) heroic ability, note that you can scan the targets and immediately move out of range while you're channeling the heroic, they will still all get hit no matter your range.

4. You can use your auto attacks and stutter step while your Plasma Cutter (Q) is active.

5. Your Warp (E) can be interrupted as the ability channels shortly before teleporting you.

6. The enemies cannot see where will you land with your Warp (E), so use it wisely to fake them out.

7. Planet Cracker (R) has infinite range, but does not damage structures. Unlike Purification Salvo (R) you cannot move while channeling, but you can cancel it if needed.
