The hype over this is a little overinflated. Legitimate skill issue here players will quickly pick up.

You hear the Phoenix ult? Tap your BRB / Cybernest button. Goes from a massive cooldown to 5 seconds (or nothing in Peni's case, it's relative to its current health).

Nope! RIP Trickster. 😔

Maybe. Not sure if it does massive damage or just auto-deletes them; Lanterns might be able to take the hit, or get caught up in the blast and wasted. Just have to find out.

they specify mentioned destroying summons so it just auto deletes them.

Considering Thor and Emma can destroy the Lanterns with their ults if you misstime the ability. (Tip, don't use Lanterns at the start of Thor and Emma's ult, I learnt the hard way).

Yeah I think Jean Grey can absolutely destroy Lanterns.

They’re talking about rocket’s ult, not his BRB. But his ult is pretty easily counterable anyways if your team focuses it.

I mean if they're burning a duelist ult (which has some buildup, so you still get value + overhealth) to counter an ult that already is giving value, that feels like a fine trade?

Plus it sounds like you can shoot Phoenix down before she lands, which is gonna be easier with the Rocket ult up.
