Phoenix relies on Supernova to turn death into a rebirth with refreshed abilities, and on Sun Ray, which spends his own health for sustained damage and healing. The sun can be destroyed by attacks from enemy heroes, so focused attacks on it end the rebirth. A stun or silence cancels Sun Ray mid-beam, cutting off both its damage and its healing.
Counter items
Orchid MalevolenceA 5 second silence cancels Sun Ray mid-beam.
Abyssal BladeOverwhelm stuns for 1.6 seconds, which also cancels Sun Ray.
Hurricane PikeHurricane Thrust grants five fast attacks that can chip the Supernova sun.
