Phoenix

What it looks like

The Phoenix is a Legendary card that is unlocked from the Spooky Town (Arena 12). It spawns a single-target, air-targeting, melee, air troop with moderate hitpoints and moderate damage. When defeated, the Phoenix explodes, dealing damage, inflicting knockback, while spawning an egg which has low hitpoints. If the egg is not defeated within 3.8 seconds, it will hatch into another Phoenix with the original's hitpoints and damage. However, a reborn Phoenix does not deal death damage or spawn an egg once it is defeated. It is a cerise bird with slate eyes, yellow sclerae, a maroon beak and legs, and amber eyebrows, remiges and rectrices. A Phoenix card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.

Trivia

• The Phoenix is based on the eponymous mythological Greek creature capable of rebirth on destruction. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, others that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again. In the Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Phoenix's name translates to "Fire Phoenix".
• The Phoenix is 1 of 19 troops which first existed in Clash of Clans, the others being Minions, Archers, Goblins, Skeletons, Barbarians, Giant, Valkyrie, Wizard, Hog Rider, Witch, P.E.K.K.A, Balloon, Golem, Wall Breakers, Bowler, Cannon Cart, Lava Hound, and the Archer Queen. It is the only troop that is available as a hero pet in Clash of Clans. The Phoenix's design in Clash of Clans is slightly different from its design in Clash Royale. As in Clash of Clans, it has yellow eyes and its body appears smaller and wings larger. In Clash Royale, it has hazel eyes and the proportions seem more evenly distributed. The Phoenix in Clash Royale shares the same sound effects with its Clash of Clans counterpart. Unlike in Clash Royale, the Phoenix in Clash of Clans can deal area damage and does not have death damage. Its ability differs from its Clash of Clans counterpart. Instead of starting off as an attacker and reviving itself once when destroyed, the Clash of Clans Phoenix assumes the form of a passive, untargetable egg, and would temporarily revive its assigned hero for 8 seconds when they have been defeated, at which point it begins attacking. In Clash of Clans, the Phoenix's gender is female, as said in Phoenix's description, whereas in Clash Royale, the Phoenix is male according to TV Royale, but uses “it” pronouns in its description.
• The Phoenix is the only card in the game that can revive itself.
• The Phoenix is 1 of 9 troops that have the same sprite for both players, the others are Skeletons, Electro Spirit, Fire Spirit, Bats, Ice Spirit, Heal Spirit, Elixir Blob, and Lava Pup.
• The Phoenix is 1 of 23 troops that have been featured in the Troop Rush game mode, the others being Skeletons, Skeleton Dragons, Fire Spirit, Bats, Elite Barbarians, Firecracker, Rascal Girls, Royal Hogs, Heal Spirit, Elixir Golem, Guards, Prince, Balloon, Golem, Wall Breakers, Ram Rider, Sparky, Royal Ghost, Bandit, Lumberjack, Santa Hog Rider, and the Monk.
