Phoenix Buff Idea

So I thought of a buff for Phoenix for MCOC. It turns her into the cosmic/mutant god she should be. She would be like Karnak, needing catalysts of both classes to be ranked up, but unlike Karnak, she will be good.
Starting in Cosmic form, Pyrokinetic Form Phoenix’s medium attacks have a 30% chance to inflict an incinerate on the opponent, dealing energy damage based on base attack over 10 seconds. When an incinerate is triggered on the opponent from this, gain one Phoenix Force charge. Light attacks deal energy bursts equal to 70% of damage. If an incinerate is active on the opponent while throwing a light attack, energy bursts are increased to 100% of attack, but their chance to trigger is reduced to 80%. When 2 or more incinerate debuffs are on the opponent, hitting the opponent with a heavy attack or special attack turns the incinerates into Cosmic Fire debuffs, which becomes a passive and deals 80% more damage over 15 seconds. Hitting an opponent while they have a cosmic fire debuff on them has a 7% chance to refresh the Cosmic Fire debuff, and heavy and special attacks have an 80% chance to refresh it. While Cosmic Fire debuffs are active on the opponent, light attacks do not inflict energy bursts, but Phoenix has a 25% chance to gain a passive +25% fury on light attacks instead. When throwing a light combo ender with a Cosmic Fire debuff on the opponent, change into mutant form and consume all Phoenix charges. Turn them into Prowess passives of +35% potency each, with a max of 12.
Mutant Form- instead of incinerate and cosmic fire debuffs, inflict concussion debuffs and brain damage passives where the Pyrokinetic debuffs would be for Telepathic Form Phoenix. Instead of energy bursts on light attacks, gain an equal chance to gain a 50% indefinite prowess buff, with a max of 5. When at 5, prowesses last for 17.5 seconds instead of indefinitely. Using a light combo ender with a brain damage passive on the opponent changes Phoenix to Cosmic form, and convert all prowess buffs/passives into Phoenix Force charges.
Special attack 1 (Punishing Phoenix)
Cosmic Form- gain 2 Phoenix force charges, double if Cosmic Fire debuff is on opponent when activated. 40% chance per hit to inflict an armor break debuff equal to 40% of opponents armor rating.
Mutant Form- gain 2 Mutant Teleportation charges plus 3 if a brain damage passive is on the opponent
Special Attack 2 (Concussive Fire Blasts)- Cosmic Form- gain 5 Phoenix charges, plus 3 if cosmic fire debuffs are active on the opponent. 100% chance to inflict a cosmic fire debuff on opponent on final hit, and 50% chance to stun opponent for 2 seconds
Mutant Form- consume all buffs/passives, and gain +30% attack for each buff consumed, 100% chance to stun opponent for 2 seconds and inflict a brain damage passive with the last hit
Special Attack 3-
Cosmic Form- Consume all Phoenix Charges and turn them into +15% fury buffs. For each Phoenix Force charge on Phoenix at the start of the SP3, turn it into a 4 second Dark Phoenix form plus 1 second for each Phoenix force charge(max 45 seconds). While in Dark Phoenix form, increase attack rating by 150%, and incinerate and cosmic fire debuff potency by 100%. Inflict energy bursts of 100% of attack on specials and heavies. For each armor break on the opponent on sp3, gain an indefinite aptitude buff of 100%.
Mutant Form- Consume all buffs/passives and turn them into 15% prowess buffs. For each buff/passive converted, gain a 5 second Omega-Level Mutant Passive gaining +150% attack with a max of 50 seconds. When in Omega-Level Mutant mode, every medium attack inflicts a stacking armor break debuff of 15% potency with a max of 12
Awakened Ability (Cosmic Immortality)- Once per fight, while receiving a blow that would knock her out, Jean Grey channels the Phoenix Force and gains a regeneration passive that heals her for 50% of max health. This is ended early if struck by a sp3, but heal blocks do not affect this.
Immunities- Reverse control immune, incinerate immune, coldsnap immune, and cannot miss. If inflicted with an energy damage over time debuff or when receiving energy damage, take 99% less damage and turn the debuffs/energy hits into Phoenix Force charges. If awakened, regen 70% of energy damage absorbed.
Synergies-
Professor X- start with 10 Phoenix Force charges. Specials are unblockable when Cosmic Fire on opponent
Storm and Storm (Pyramid X)- when a fury or aptitude is gained, gain a prowess equal to the potency of the fury or aptitude.
Cyclops(both), Wolverine, and Wolverine (Weapon X)- regeneration buffs and passives gain +20% potency for all champions

For me, I'd always imagined a Phoenix rework as being a bit like an inverse Nick Fury LMD.
First life is close to Emma Frost (telepath form) but her health is constantly dropping until she switches to her Phoenix form. Something like a Degeneration Debuff that will take 100% of her Health over 30 seconds. The point of this mode is to earn as many Phoenix charges as she can and hold off the switch for as long as possible.
When she 'dies' she is restored to 75% health (with the other 25% depending on Sig level, so she'd be 100% at Sig 200) with no dropoff unlike Fury. All of her damage switches to become energy based and every attack has a chance to inflict an Incinerate Debuff. She can't gain Phoenix charges anymore but what she had gained previously provide a permanent Duration and Potency increase to all Incinerate Debuffs that she inflicts (for the rest of the quest, etc).
