Description

The light-weight strike fighter, the Phoenix, is the replacement for the Protoss Scout. Their role as the new border guards is fulfilled with great effectiveness as they are swift and can adapt easily. Their attacks are very effective against light-armoured enemies, but when facing foes of the likes of Terran Battle Cruisers, they stand little chance. The greatest way in which they differ from the Scout is because of an ability the Phoenix pilots have come to use when engaged from all sides: the Overload.

Overload
Overload

When Phoenixes are surrounded, they may cause their engines to Overload so as to discharge a large amount of energy at nearby targets, even cloaked ones. After Overloading, the Phoenix goes offline for a few seconds, leaving it extremely vulnerable. When used with good timing, this ability can be extremely fatal to swarms of enemy flyers.
