Phoenix Synergy Guide

Phoenix is a Cosmic class champion in the Contest of Champions who forms a synergy with 12 other characters, available as a 2-Star, 3-Star, 4-Star and 5-Star champion.

Though Jean Grey and the Phoenix Force have long been separated, their bond is unique. More than a mere host, Jean is a part of the Phoenix, as the Phoenix is part of her. When Jean was brought to the Battlerealm and exposed to ISO-8, the highly mutagenic properties of the ISO-8 reopened Jean's latent connection to the universal force of life, and the Phoenix was reborn again, this time into the Contest of Champions!
