Fire Element: Flaming Phoenix

The Flaming Phoenix skill brings fiery offence to the game, offering two powerful abilities. Phoenix Flames lets players shoot a fireball at a specific target, which causes ongoing damage to both the target and enemies nearby. Phoenix Soar allows players to leap high into the air, which can be useful for both attack and escape. Energy management plays a crucial role in using these abilities effectively, as both require energy to activate and recharge automatically over time.
