Mobile Legends: Bang Bangfighter Phoveus sacrificed his own two eyes in exchange for the great power of Astaros, oblivious to the cost of making a deal with the God of Terror.
The Chains of Sin is renowned for being one of the best counters to highly mobile heroes in the Land of Dawn. This is because his kit is specifically designed to punish enemies who use dashes within his vicinity.
More than his disruptive abilities, he is also inherently tanky, making him a flexible pick in team compositions.
Whether you’re looking to dominate the solo lane or control the flow of team fights, this ONE Esports guide will help you understand the mechanics and strategies to master this powerful hero.

Ultimate – Infernal Pursuit
Phoveus leaps up and slams down at the target, dealing damage and recovering HP.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Phoveus in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
The best battle spell for Phoveus is undoubtedly Vengeance. It significantly boosts his survivability, especially since you are vulnerable during the wind-up of Infernal Pursuit.
If you feel confident and are up against a hero with a weak early game, consider using Execute.
This can be effective in securing kills when Phoveus has a damage advantage. However, if you’re facing a stronger opponent, Execute may not be as beneficial
Recommended emblem
Phoveus is naturally tanky, especially when using Vengeance as a battle spell. However, adding some damage through his emblem setup is still beneficial.
Start by selecting the Fighter Emblem, which offers a balanced mix of offensive and defensive stats. It gives you a boost in Spell Vamp, Adaptive Attack, and Hybrid Defense.
For his sub-talents, choose Agility and Festival of Blood. Agility gives you more mobility, while Festival of Blood boosts your Spell Vamp with each hero kill and assist.
You can opt for either Brave Smite or Temporal Reign for his core talent.
Brave Smite allows you to recover HP when you deal damage to enemies. Temporal Reign, on the other hand, is especially useful for beginners, as it reduces the cooldown of your skills after using your ultimate, Infernal Pursuit.
Phoveus best build
Since Phoveus deals HP-based damage, building a combination of offensive and defensive items is the optimal approach.
PrioritizeWar Axeas your first item. It provides solid damage output and lifesteal, which Phoveus benefits from, especially given his weaker early-game performance.
Next, purchase Queen’s Wings. The item makes you more durable thanks to the unique passive called Demonize, which gives you damage reduction when your HP falls below a certain percentage.
Progressing to the mid-game, buy Oracle to enhance your regeneration effects. After that, build Dominance Ice for a boost in your armor and mana regeneration.
The item also has a unique passive that reduces enemy hero’s regeneration effects, which is useful when you are facing heroes likeEsmeralda,Yu Zhong, andUranus.
Finally, build Immortality for late game insurance. More than the revive mechanic, it also boosts your HP and Armor which makes you more durable front line hero.

Tips and easy combos to learn
Phoveus thrives on anticipation and disruption. To master him, you must understand both his mechanics and the overall game flow.
In the laning phase, use Demonic Impact to efficiently clear minion waves. Since Phoveus is weak in the early game, avoid team fights unless your jungler or midlaner can assist.
At level four, begin harassing your lane opponent with Demonic Impact. When the time is right, execute this combo: Demonic Force basic attack, Infernal Pursuit, Demonic Impact, Dark Wave, Infernal Pursuit, Demonic Impact, and finish with Infernal Pursuit.
This combo lets you maintain pressure without waiting for cooldowns. Remember, you can cast Vengeance during the combo, as Phoveus is vulnerable to attacks during Infernal Pursuit’s wind-up.
