Spell 1 - Now comes the first decision, there are four spells
and only one can be chosen. So here we are: we have Avatar, a
spell that you may have already heard of. In short, this spell
makes Phodom a good tank, that's why a lot of you guys like it.
Second is Offensive cry, a spell that increases Phodom and his
companions' damage. A good spell because it increases Fradz's
damage also, and Fradz needs a lot of atk speed and dmg cause he
is a DPS.Then comes Defensive Cry.If you have no give-ups , I
suggest you should pick it(or Avatar).That spell will save not
only you , but also Fradz and Galeoth.And the last spell, Area
Attack, is our choice. Area Attack is very good because a lot of
bosses and mobs have higher atk speed than Phodom .Being a tank,
he needs an ability that can also deal dmg to the enemies while
being attacked. Area Attack is perfect for Phodom because it has
10% chance to deal a huge damage instance when he attacks (a 6x
critical almost) unlike any other abilities.But if you intend to
pick this spell Phodom will be blessed/cursed to become a
DPS.The starting set that gives the "Family Picture" is
necessary.
Spell 2 - Now we have to choose from Meltdown and Impact Flare.
Meltdown deals greater dmg than Impact Flare and also decreases
enemy's armor by 10. Impact Flare deals relatively lower dmg
than Meltdown and comes with a stun of three seconds. The stun
might be stronger than the armor-reduction effect but it last
only three seconds and the damage is lower than Meltdown. That's
why my choice is Meltdown. Soul Burn is very useful as well, but
it requires ALL the spell points to make the fiery demon strong.
Spell 3 - Flame Explosion, or Ground Zero? Well every kind of
guy who is easily convinced by the icon will pick Ground Zero.
Ground Zero deals more dmg and causes Damage per Second to
enemies but Flame Explosion is, being an instant spell, perfect
for Phodom because he's always surrounded by enemies. And the 2
seconds stun are perfect for Fradz to do his job by smashing the
ones that dare to attack his defender. Let it be Flame Explosion
then :) Colossal Slam could be very useful when it comes to
dishing out huge AoE damage to enemies but if you pick it, pick
Avatar also.
Spell 4 - Here I was unable to decide for a looong time:D But
now I've made my decision. Fire Mastery could be a very good
spell for Phodom because his Heal abilities need bonuses plus
his Area and Single-targeted spells could use some good ol'
bonuses :) BUT Aura of Fire is better, because there are a lot
of enemies with huge atk speed that focus only on the tank.
Besides that, Aura of Fire deals huge amounts of dps to all the
enemies around Phodom.The Fire Elemental would be useful if you
spend your spell points into it(same as Soul Burn).The Spinning
Death is a spell I'd never suggest unless you have give ups ,
avatar , and dozens of STR.
Spell 5 - Not much to say, Fire Shield or Heaven's Blessing?
Well Fire Shield recovers a lot of the target's HP and adds
bonus armors, while the other spell deals heals lesser, but
heals over time and brings the target back to life if he dies
while under the effect of the skill's buff. But he revives with
almost no mana and really weak HP(that fact can be changed if
all the points spell points are added mostly to it). That's why
Fire Shield is better for a tanking Phodom.Also there is Power
Heal newly added which I suggest you take if you plan to make
Phodom a better supporter then Galeoth.With it's relatively low
call down and considerable effect , this spell(with it's
rightful spell points) can be the best heal of the whole game.
Spell 5 - Now Chaotic Rift is a special ultimate. Although the
damage output is lower than Phoenix Combo, it deals area dmg and
reduces the dmg of the attackers. This spell is good when you
are outnumbered. Phoenix Combo deals massive dmg to a single
target and also area dmg after the spell is finished .Yet
considering that a single use of Phoenix Combo may take away 15%
to 30% of the Elite Boss' hp and up to 20% of the Epic Boss',
it's a very good spell (which means it could be our choice).The
combo however could easily get ruined if Chaotic Rift is cast at
the wrong time.Tough the call down of Chaotic Rift is very low ,
the Phoenix Combo is easier to use.So put it like this:-If you
have give ups , use Chaotic Rift
-If you don't have give ups use Phoenix
Combo
Now about the combat kings for Phodom here's what you should
pick:
-Parry: Well what can I say about this one? Evasion! Some
chances for our protagonist to evade an attack, always useful.
-Counter Attack: Useful indeed, since Phodom is the tank and he
gets attacked often.
-Magic Resistance: Well, he needs to be protected from Boss'
spells right?
-Force Blow: Yeah, force blow, since Phodom's damage should go
better.
-Resurrection: Phodom dies often:(
CH 1:
Here you should spend your money only for the items that
Miragna's/Maragath's set requires. And get items from bosses .Of
course, if you have a Give Up, buy Zwill Blade as a bonus.
Ch4:
Time to spend! First, Phodom needs the Holy Stump, so try
finding all the items that it requires if you are not able to
finish it. Ofc you should try to upgrade Maragath/Mirana's set.
If you have a Give Up, try making an Orichalcon.
Ch5:
Give the Orichalcon to Fradz, and take the magic orb he has to
create a lvl 3 Magic Orb. Try founding your own combos. Take the
STR/HP items from the bosses. If you have a Give Up, make and
give Francisca to Fradz.
Ch6:
Well here's a huge map. Give the Int items to Galeoth and try to
gather everything. Don't enter a room alone.
Ch7:
Same thing, keep your money safe, you should already have dozens
of it. But if you wanted to have strong items such as Aero, keep
on the defensive formation.

I personally think a slightly different set of spells is best
for Phodom.
1. Avatar - Because in addition to buffing tanking skills and
being a life saver this move helps with digging and other
strength challenges. And the damage of area attack doesn't scale
up based on any stats you have.
2. Meltdown - The reason I choose this power is because it will
do more damage, however the reason it tends to do so much more
damage is that it is affected by spellpower and thus scales
nicely with your gear. I tend to think of Phodom as a spell
warrior. Their is one time when I pick Impact Flare though, and
thats when I try to go full stuns, it is possible to basically
lock down any boss except in their boss move phase.
3. Flame Explosion - This one is a clear simple choice since
both spells scale equally with spellpower this move is clearly
better freeing Phodom to keep swinging with his hammer and
stunning foes.
4. Aura of Fire - Although this move is Much more debatable as
spellpower will help your other moves so much and might be the
obvious choice for some. For me I pick this move for the extra
damage and the ease it provides when lots of little mobs are
spawned and smash at you.
5. Heaven's Bless (if it worked...) But since it doesn't Shield
of Fire!! - I loved Heaven's Bless back when it worked the
resurrection power is too good to be true and since it lasts so
long you can make your whole party nearly immortal, however
since it mostly just crashes the game these days Shield of Fire
works well and adds a nice bit of Armor.
6. Chaotic Rift - This is a terrific spell that does a pile of
damage and works out to be a great in cases where you come up
against spawned adds. However, if I am going a stun build I pick
Pheonix Combo because it locks the boss down allowing your
cooldowns to recharge! As an added bonus if you kill a foe mid
air you sometimes get to hover around mid air for a while :)
Plus this move just feels a whole lot more epic!
And that's Phodom's spells in a nutshell.

Okay let's see...
- In the next versions special abilities will increase per
level, not every fifth level.
- About Impact Flare, the damage is at the moment too low and
I've increased it a little bit in 1.6.
- I have added a new element to the game: Brittle, Stagger and
Bleed. These three buffs will make the game more interesting and
tactical. For example, if an enemy unit is under effect of
Brittle Flame Explosion deals 25% extra damage to this unit.
- So Elemental is shit? I understand and will balance it and
make it more understandable.

*Reads through Post*
"Tank" "Because hes a Tank" "Since hes a tank... and that's good
for tanks" "We picked this because hes a Tank"
Oh... Hes a Tank? I just activate Avatar and use Explosion wait
for the stat boost, Impact Flare the guy, and if hes a boss i
end it with Phoenix Combo, I have Flame mastery and other spells
on the side.
Works every time, I never really looked at Phodom as a tank, I
always just thought of him as a Durable DPS, like... a
Berserker.

Well AdmOrian you are not as diferit as me but you see - Avatar
could mach area attack but i chose Area attack cuz Phodom rly
needs some dmg.And he's strong enaught without avatar.:D
Heaven's bless was my first choice also , but you didn't revive
with ur whole life , and sience shield of fire inflicts more
healing , it's better

AdmOrian also I found out that chaotic rift is as usefull as
phoenix combo :)
Archlight if you want to make phodom a Berseker like DPS , then
go on it, but you will truly need a tank in your party and I do
not belive that Fradz or Galeoth could ever mach phodom's hight
HP and STR.But again , it's only from my point of view :)

Oh, you would LOVE to see what I did with Galeoth back in 3.3a

around.
