Felix is a frontline pyromaniac and one of the free hunters available in SUPERVIVE. He’s great at crowd control, catching enemies, and dealing damage, especially if you get the right items and know how to play around with his skills.
Here’s everything you need to know about Felix in SUPERVIVE, how to play him, and which items to look for.
All Felix abilities in SUPERVIVE
Every hunter in SUPERVIVE has a passive ability, a primary attack, and four active abilities. Felix’s playstyle is about jumping into the middle of the action and making sure no one can get away. His abilities are straightforward but have a few tricks for you to learn.
Here are all of Felix’s abilities in SUPERVIVE:
- Ignite (Passive): Dealing damage applies Ignite to enemies, dealing damage over time.
- Flamethrower (LMB): Fire the flamethrower and apply Ignite.
- Embry Bolt (RMB): Shoot a fire bolt that Ignites enemies. Has two charges. If the target is already affected by Ignite, it spreads it to nearby enemies.
- Pyro Pounce (Shift): Dash, dealing damage and applying Ignite.
- Heat Shield (Q): Pull in surrounding enemies and apply Anti-Heal. If the ability hits an enemy you gain a shield.
- Flight of the Firefox (R): Fly forward, scorching the ground behind you. Scorched ground slows enemies and applies Ignite.
Your main goal is to apply Ignite to enemies using primary attacks and abilities. Ignite has two levels, indicated by the fire icon above the enemy’s health bar (yellow and orange). Deal damage to increase Ignite’s level, allowing it to deal more damage over time.
Use the Pyro Pounce to charge in and knock back enemies. Follow up with the Heat Shield to pull them in and apply Anti-Heal. As soon as an enemy has a level one Ignite, use the Embry Bolt to take it to level two immediately.
His ultimate is a little bit trickier, as it goes in a straight line and is hard to control. You can use it to catch up with the enemy and trap them in the fiery ground or use it as a means to escape if things get too “hot,” making it harder for other players to follow you.
Keep in mind that the flames left behind from the Flight of the Firefox slow everyone, including yourself and your teammates.
Best Felix ability priority in SUPERVIVE
In SUPERVIVE, you can only max out one of the three core abilities (not counting ultimate), which means you have to be mindful when you level them up. For Felix, there’s an argument to be made for any of the three abilities, but our choice is Pyro Pounce.
Here’s Felix’s skill leveling priority:
- Pyro Pounce
- Embry Bolt (unlock it first)
- Heat Shield
- Flight of the Firefox
Unlock every ability, starting with the Embry Bolt. While Pyro Pounce is the ability you want to max out, Embry Bolt is incredibly strong in the early game. Then, you can focus on Pyro Pounce, as level three allows you to instantly level up Ignite. With two charges and an Embry Bolt, you can quickly catch enemies, apply level two Ignite, and spread Ignite to nearby enemies.
Best Felix items in SUPERVIVE
In SUPERVIVE, you must get two core items to perfect your character build. As a frontliner, Felix is always in the middle of teamfights, making survivability key. Depending on the team composition, there are a few ways you can build Felix.
Generally, you want to start with the Damage starting equipment and aim to get the following items:
| Base item | Evolution | Stats | Passive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vampiric Blade | Last Stand | +180 Ability Power +Eight percent Omnivamp | Falling below 40 percent HP grants you five percent Omnivamp and 50 percent bonus healing from all sources |
| Mana Blade | Rampage | +180 Ability Power +105 Max Mana +1.8 Mana Regen/Sec | Using abilities and hitting basic attacks grants a stack of rampage for three seconds. At 10 stacks grants 50 Ability Power. |
Last Stand (Vampiric Blade) is a must-have item on Felix as it dramatically increases survivability. When you’re always in the middle of the fight dealing damage with the Flamethrower, you’re bound to drop below 40 percent HP, triggering the item’s effect.
The second item is more flexible. Rampage (Mana Blade) has a passive that’s very easy to stack on Felix, granting you bonus Ability Power. But you can also opt out for something like the Interweaver (Tech Blade) or even Perseverance (Bladed Helmet).
Best Felix teams in SUPERVIVE
Felix deals great damage over time, but it may take forever to kill an enemy, which is why you want a burst fighter alongside you. Joule, Shrike, or any other hunter who can quickly clean up the kills works great in a team with Felix. Alternatively, you can pair up with a healer to sustain you for longer while you set the enemies on fire, but then you’ll have to do more heavy lifting in terms of damage.
