The Basic Attack Build is the only recommended build for Fenix. Most of his damagecomes from Repeater Cannon and Phase Bomb. Therefore, it is better to pick talents thatincreases the damage output from Basic Attacks, such as Fenix Build Guide “The enemy approaches. Prepare for battle.” (32) Arsenal Synergyor Fenix Build Guide “The enemy approaches. Prepare for battle.” (33) Mobile Offense.This build stacks several Talents that increase Basic Attackdamage. Divert Power: Weapons should usually be activated to increase damageonce it is clear that the enemy team is committed to a teamfight. This willallow you to trade optimally until your shields are gone, and to benefit fromthe bonus damage as long as possible. Photonic Weaponry is a safe pick thatwill almost always add damage, but Offensive Cadence can be very strong againstTanks and Bruisers if they are unable to retaliate.
