The Fenix Unit Analysis

Filed under: Tips and Tactics — Mawhrin-Skel @ 4:35 pm

Now it’s time to talk about the Fenix, a royal unit from the Intergalactic Units participating on the Intergalactic Tournament.

The Fenix is a majestic unit that strikes fear and respect on every player. It is very strong and capable of dealing heavy damage. It has a range of 4 squares, and the rebound ability. Both of these features allow the Fenix to possibly strike a unit 5 squares away. There’s nothing better than destroying your opponent’s units from far behind, and the Fenix excels at that. It’s a great unit for zone control and it should always be at the center of the action.

Being a heavy unit, it has movement penalties. Namely, it has a movement cost of 3 and only normal movement. It isn’t very fast but the long range attack compensates for it. When you target an enemy group, your opponent will have a hard time protecting it. Because of the rebound, he can’t just put a cannon fodder group on the front to protect. He may put a group one square ahead, this way the Fenix wouldn’t be able to use the rebound. But keep in mind that the intergalactic fleet has the Kamikaze, meaning that players can’t let open squares on front of their units (because of the kamikaze menace).

You should take extra caution protecting your Fenix against the opponent’s Kamikaze, Vector and Eagle. The Kamikaze because a small quantity of them will destroy your Fenix. The others because they have catapult, and that’s very hard to defend. And with the Fenix’s movement penalties, you can’t run away easily. Also, on the end game the Fenix will be an easy prey for the Spider! If the Spider paralyzes the Fenix it may be the end.

This unit another of my favorites. In fact I can’t think of another heavy unit that people like more than this. It is amazing and can make a big impact on the game.
