The phoenix grows with the upgrade path
Ascendant Phoenix builds on Illari's existing solar theme rather than replacing it with an unrelated costume. The base tier establishes the phoenix shape, and later tiers expand the wings and the amount of visible fire.
Additional colorways let the same model move away from one fixed flame palette. The stronger tiers add blazing effects that make the transformation more apparent in the lobby and during ability use.
A solar hero makes the effects readable
Illari already uses bright projectiles, healing energy, and an explosive ultimate, giving the Mythic several natural places to carry its visual language. The phoenix effects can follow actions players already recognize instead of obscuring them.
The four-tier structure leaves room for restraint. A player can use the cleaner base direction or equip the larger wings and ambient fire when they want the complete Ascendant presentation.
