Appearances	Epic Battle Fantasy 5

PHOENIX is a miniboss and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5 introduced in the v2 update. It is found in a secret room in the caves below the Wild Tropics, becoming first accessible once the player gets The Hammer. It is a member of the Arcade foes.

Appearance

PHOENIX is a small, orange bird with a black beak. Like the other Arcade Bosses, it appears as an 8-bit sprite.

Overview

PHOENIX's most notable ability is its innate auto-revive, which it will renew every turn as a free action. While it can be dispelled, other PHOENIXes can also revive defeated ones, making it important to either kill all of them at once after a dispel or use Syphon/Berserk to keep them from reapplying their auto-revive effect. Resistance to Burn/Scorch as well as Doom/Death is also valuable.

As Natalie will mention in-game, it should be captured as soon as possible due to the potency of its summon ability.

Enters battle with 1x Auto-Revive, and 3x Burn.

PHOENIX gains up to 24% extra Attack, Magic Attack, HP and Accuracy depending on how many optional bosses have been killed, medals awarded and monster cards obtained:

• +1% for each of the 13 optional bosses (counting the Sketch bosses as a single boss) for a 13% total. Bosses included are: ??.@'¬?]-?e??255, Snowflake, The Sketch Boss Rush, Sól and Skadi, Neon Valhalla, Telperion, Vulcan, Crystal Hydra, Matteus, Natalia, Lancelot, Annabelle and God.
• +1% at the 50, 65, 80, and 100 medals thresholds, for a 4% total.
• +0.04% for each of the 50 Monster Cards obtained, for a 2% total.
• +0.2% for each of the 12 Arcade bosses, the 8 Data Bunker simulations, and the 5 1P Challenges in the Battle Arena; for a 5% total.

After level 23, PHOENIX gains a 5% boost to Attack and Magic Attack, and a 2.5% boost to HP and Accuracy on every level-up (these boosts stack additively, acting as a multiplier). This boost caps out at level 36.

Battle logic

The following describes general logic of the enemy and attack patterns, with chances of each attack to be used. Conditions are listed from highest to lowest priority unless specified otherwise.

1st Action

• If Syphoned or Berserked, catch score >55, and all players are Lovable → Flee;
• If Syphoned or Berserked → Talons;
• If a PHOENIX has been killed, or catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Regenerate;
• Otherwise → Talons (1/3), Fireballs (1/3), Bird Song (1/3).

2nd Action

• If not Syphoned or Berserked → Immortality.

Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)

• 33% → Talons.

Additionally, if PHOENIX dies while having Auto-Revive, it'll automatically use Resurrection to revive itself at full HP.

Summon

The foe can be captured to be used as a summon.
