We previously made a detailed hero analysis of Phoveus when he appeared on the MLBB advanced server. In this guide, we will discuss how to build and play Phoveus in Mobile Legends, from skills, emblem and spell recommendations, to item and gameplay tips.
Phoveus is a hero with the same four skill sets, one passive and three active. In this guide to playing Phoveus, let’s see what his abilities are in Mobile Legends, and when you can use which skills to get the best out of him.
1. Demonic Intiution (Passive Skill)
Using the blink / charge skill within 8 meters of Phoveus will help him reduce his skill CD by 1 second. But in the case of skill 1, the reload time is reduced by 1 second. Try to trigger him in front of more enemies because his passives can be stacked and it will help you reduce the CD Reduction reduction on his skills.
2. Malefic (Skill 1)
By pressing this skill Phoveus will hit the enemy with his Astaros (weapon). After a successful attack, he will gain shield count 0/110/220/330/440/550 and 25% movement speed for the next 3 seconds while dealing 275/325/375/425/475/525 total Magic Damage to enemies.
This skill will spread damage to nearby enemy heroes if Astaros Dread touches the next closest enemy. Phoveus can use any opponent or creep as a link between enemies to spread AoE damage.
If this skill deals heavy damage to the marked enemy twice or more, the damage will immediately decrease by 75% after the first one. The first skill takes 8.5 / 8 / 7.5 / 7 / 6.5 / 6 seconds to recharge and can withstand a maximum of 3 charges at a time. Skills that are fully stacked will deal 150% damage to minions but do not trigger AOE damage effects.
3. Astaros Eye (Skill 2)
Phoveus creates a circle and deals 100/120/140/160/180/200 amount of Magic Damage to enemy heroes and after 1 second when the circle is closed, this skill will pull the enemy in the center of the circle while dealing an additional 250/300/350/400/450 /500 her damage amount.
4. Demonic Force (Skill 3)
If a hero uses a blink or charge skill in front of Phoveus, his ultimate will be triggered and immediately mark the enemy. Then Phoveus jumps to the marked target while dealing damage amount of 380/480/580 and getting 200/300/400 amount of shield/Shield. After skill 3 is triggered, it stays active for only 3 seconds and can be used for up to 12 seconds max.
Best Phoveus Emblem
Phoveus mostly deals magic damage as a Fighter; so use Custom Mage Emblem set and set talent points too. Focus on movement speed and Magical Penetration to make him strong on the battlefield.
Best Battle Spell Phoveus
One of the best Battle Spells to use in Phoveus is Flameshot. You can use it to avoid enemy ambushes, defeat enemy heroes, or perform ultimates.
By throwing Flameshot, you can force enemies to shoot to trigger Phoveus’ passive skill along with Ulti at the same time. You can also use Execute to defeat enemy heroes with low HP which will deal 200 plus 10% of the enemy’s lost HP True Damage to the marked enemy. This spell will definitely help you in 1v1 situations because it has low damage output in the early stages.
