Phoenix - is a very powerfull iniciator, nuker, and a great disabler. He can be played in the mid lane as a position 2 hero, or an offlaner in the position 3. Phoenix is not a safe lane carry, even though with a level, and item advantage over your opponents Phoenix can carry the game to the victory through the use of his over powered nukes.
As a strength hero Phoenix benefits from strength items, not only insreasing hi's tankyness, but also allowing him to spam his nukes constantly.

Great iniciation, team fight ability. Quite risky to use as you can die if the spell is stopped by enough attacks from the opponents.
Start - with a Clarity, Salve, Tangos, and Iron Brunches are a good start for the early game, giving you mana and hp regeneration. Even if you are going to the mid lane this build is still better then bottle rush
Early Game - Ring of Protection can be upgraded in to basi. Then force staff is not only a great way to initiate but also escape, and support your allies. Arcanes will also greatly support your team, as well as help you in spamming your nukes.
Mid game - Even more initiation comes with the blink dagger, in the patch 6.80 its an amazing initiation iteam as it does not use mana anymore. Drums are great to increase your mana and tackiness, ghost scepter will protect you from heavy damage dealers as well as it is another great way to support your allies. Again bkb, is one of those amazing items for initiators, making you a better tank, and a greater damage dealer.
Late game - As you are an amazing tank Heart of Tarrasque, is another great item on you, not only additional hp is great but also the HP regen which allows you to spam your abilities non stop. Linken's is also great in case you are getting disabled to stop, or slow down you initiation.
Phonex is a very versile hero, who is even able to jungle in a very similar way to Batrider. Even though he isnt as effective. All you need is to stack the large and midium camp at x52. Fly over them with Iscarus Dive.
Another way to jungle this way is to use Iscarus Dive on the cliff in the radient jungle only! stop the dive as you reach the top of the cliff and then you can easily kill the big camp, without taking any damage!
I would like to point out that this guide is not finished yet, pls dont leave unfriendly commends on it, thanks. Ill complete it at the end of this week.
