Phoveus's next Basic Attack charges at the enemy, knocking them back, dealing extra Magic Damage equal to 4% - 6% of the enemy's <1005> (scales with level), and gaining a 8% - 12% <1005> shield. Cooldown: 26s-14s (based on Infernal Pursuit's level).
Astaros' Gaze: Whenever an enemy hero blinks, dashes, or is displaced within 8 units, reduces the cooldown of Demonic Force by 20% and other skills by 0.5s.
Phoveus slams his monolith into the ground, dealing 200 (+120% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the area and slowing them by 70% for 0.5s. If this skill hits an enemy, Phoveus's next Demonic Impact will leave behind an Astaros Eye.
Astaros Eye: Implodes after a short delay, dealing 100 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Magic Damage to the enemies.
Phoveus lowers his monolith and releases his demonic power in the target direction, knocking enemies airborne, dragging them along, and dealing 250 (+100% Extra Physical Attack) Magic Damage.
Passive: Demonic Force, Astaros Eye, and Dark Wave apply Sinner's Mark to enemy heroes hit.
Active: Phoveus leaps into the air and smashes down with his monolith at the enemy hero with Sinner's Mark, dealing 250 (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+ 5% target's <1005>) Physical Damage to enemies in the area and recovering 50 (+ 6% of his <1998>).
Infernal Pursuit can only be used when there are enemies with Sinner's Mark nearby. HP recovered is reduced by 80% when multiple enemies are hit.

In a nutshell
Relation Overview
Counters
Enemies with multiple mobility abilities can greatly reduce Phoveus's cooldowns, so he can use his enhanced Basic Attacks and skills more often when facing heroes like Wanwan, Arlott, and Chou.
Countered By
Phoveus will struggle against ranged heroes with strong CC, such as Aurora, Valir, and Vexana.
Compatibility
Tanks with good initiation like Gatotkaca, Minotaur, and Tigreal can create opportunities for Phoveus to maximize his damage while they take some of the incoming damage.
