How to use this creature in practice
Mobile attacks and screening across obstacles
Flaming Phoenix can change the contact point across obstacles. Choose a free reachable landing position that threatens an important target without exposing friendly shooters.
Watch for: Base stats are not the final exchange result. Account for retaliation, current creature count, target immunity and subsequent action order.

Abilities and limitations
Awaken: Fire II
Once per battle, adds 2 speed, 2 initiative and 25 health per creature. The stack always rolls maximum damage. These changes last for the battle. Awakening also unlocks this form’s other abilities. Cost: 3 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 1 round(s).
Heatwave
Clears harmful effects from allies and beneficial effects from enemies. Compare the value of all current buffs and debuffs. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
Embodiment
Embodiments normally use −3 to +3 limits for both morale and luck. Their fallen creatures are ineligible for post-battle Necromancy.
Flying
Movement bypasses obstacles and traps. Flying alone grants neither a ranged attack nor damage immunity.
Melee Attack
Its ordinary attack requires an adjacent enemy and can provoke retaliation. Particular abilities may alter those rules for their own strike.
Sweeping Strike
Hits the target and the two hexes beside it. Inspect their occupants before committing to the attack.
Embodiment of Fire
Leaves no corpse and is unaffected by Fireball, Firewall and Armageddon.
Immortal
Death leaves ashes that restore 1 + 50% of the original creature count at the next round’s start, capped at the original count. Recovery is permanent, works once per battle, and can be prevented by three damaging hits on the ashes.
