Redesign spicy-wings! (Phoenix overhaul)

Jean Grey is a telepath on par with Emma and in the game is bonded to what I can only describe as “the immortal concept of destruction and rebirth given corporeal form as a transuniversal firebird with a thing for red heads and psychics” I'd either be describing the Phoenix Force or literally saying nonsense. Thank god for comic books 😂
I honestly think that with the progression to abilities that she needs a redesign. You cannot make the Phoenix a character. If you want Jean Grey empowered by the Phoenix force that’s infinitely more possible.

In theory she’d play with traits of Stark Spider, Goblin and Emma. Of course there’s a little Captain Infinity and Archangel as well.

Utilizing the Parry mastery builds Phoenix charges
Using Dexterity to avoid special attacks builds Telepathy charges

Critical attacks have 0% chance to Incinerate for X% damage over X-seconds, and 0% chance to armor break X% for X-seconds

Specials cause inverted controls. Specials have an ACTIVE prowess buff for the special attack durations worth 0%.

•Special 1: 100% chance to Armor Shatter combining all armor break potency for 3 seconds.
•Special 2: 100% chance to passive Incinerate for 100% attack over 5 seconds.
•Special 3: BOTH

Now for the good stuff
Parry/Phoenix:
Limit 10 and reset after using a special attack (end of animation)
Following effects
•X% attack increase (5%)
•X% block proficiency
•+15% chance to all Incinerate effects
•increases any incinerate caused by or during a special attack duration by 1 second

Special Evade/Telepath
Limit 5 and reset at the end of using a special attack
•X% reduction to enemies ability accuracy
•+15% Accuracy to armor break abilities
•+3 seconds to Armor Shatter abilities
•+50% to all Prowess abilities

    She’d have a dual charge system similar to Green Goblin, her critical debuffs would work on a system similar to Archangel’s debuffs, her overall benefits from her charges would mix traits from Sparky and Domino, she’d have the basic special attack premise as Emma and Domino

    I also lowballed a bunch of the benefits from her charge systems to allow a proper beta test to engage with.

    Her Signature ability would have to be changed to incorporate both her charges. Phoenix charges providing a burst of regen and Telepathy charges giving her a large passive Fury to lash out as a retaliation style attack in the vein of Hulk(Classic) SMASH


    Overall I think this modernization with different elements and mechanics from other champions while overall a streamlined sense of “what am I doing with this champion” while still keeping her true to being a Mutant with heavy handed special attacks while also playing up the cosmic empowerment as much as possible without unintentionally bumping her directly into god tier.

    I realize this probably won’t happen but I still decided to keep her “expendable charges” and “build until you Overload” type of play style in tact while making it usable
