Buff my boy Phoenix!

Out of all the duelists, Phoenix is honestly one of the least picked and worst ones. Yoru might be the worst duelist as of right now, but atleast he's getting his rework soon.

Each duelist has their own niche that they fill, but Phoenix just seems to have nothing going for him as of now besides maybe his ult.

A few buffs I can think of for him is that his flashes to last 1.3ish seconds instead of 1.1 seconds. They're honestly the worst in the game, even being outclassed by Yoru's since he can bounce that crap off pretty much everything on the map and it still lasts longer. For having such a predictable flash it should atleast last a bit longer than it does right now.

His wall isn't that bad, but after Neon's release it really should be instant deploy. Phoenix thrives as an entry fragger so it really doesn't make sense for his wall to be so slow. With Neon you aim where you want and press the button and it casts. With Phoenix you have to aim where you want, equip the wall, left click, and it casts.

For his molly, I think it should last a bit longer, which helps with healing and flushing out enemies out of corners and stuff.

Honestly his ult is just fine as it is, the rest of his kit just needs to be tweaked a bit and I feel he could picked and utilized a bit more in the meta.

Let me know what you think and share some other ways you think Phoenix's abilities can be buffed.
