They can absorb hits while moving down a corridor, fill rooms with flame, and emerge from the smoke unscathed. | | description = A variant of cataphract armor with a shoulder-mounted flamebolt launcher.

| − | {{ | + | Phoenix armor can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed.

While less protective against sharp and blunt attacks compared to the base [[cataphract armor]], it is much more protective against [[Damage#Flame|Flame]] and [[Damage#Heat|Heat]] damage and [[temperature]] extremes. It also reduces the [[flammability]] of the wearer by -0.68. [[Human]]s have a base flammability of 70%. This reduces the chance of being set on fire from taking Flame damage from 100% to just 1.4%. This stacks with the reduced chance to take Flame damage in first place offered by the armor's excellent Heat armor value. Note that while the armor value scales with quality, the flammability reduction does not. | While less protective against sharp and blunt attacks compared to the base [[cataphract armor]], it is much more protective against [[Damage#Flame|Flame]] and [[Damage#Heat|Heat]] damage and [[temperature]] extremes.

The armor contains an integrated flamebolt launcher which gives the user the ability to launch up a single large incendiary grenade at will before requiring a reload. This weapon is similar to an [[incendiary launcher]] with a shorter range and significantly larger area of effect but does not prevent the wearer from using another [[weapon]] nor a [[utility]] item. | The armor contains an integrated flamebolt launcher which gives the user the ability to launch up a single large incendiary grenade at will before requiring a reload.

The pawn will never automatically use the launcher - instead it must be manually activated by the player by use of the "Launch Incendiary" gizmo, similar to using [[Utility]] items. It is unclear if this restriction also applies to NPCs.{{Check Tag|Fact Check Needed|Can NPCs use the launcher under any circumstances?}} This gizmo will only appear when the pawn is [[draft]]ed. |
Similarly to weapons, the damage dealt by the flamebolt launcher of awful, masterwork, and legendary phoenix armor will have a damage [[quality]] multiplier of 90%, 125%, and 150% respectively. Meaning that a legendary phoenix armor will deal 15 damage instead of the base 10. | Similarly to weapons, the damage dealt by the flamebolt launcher of awful, masterwork, and legendary phoenix armor will have a damage [[quality]] multiplier of 90%, 125%, and 150% respectively.

The flame damage is small, the single shot is limiting, and a major threat in the late game when the armor is acquired, mechanoids, are completely immune to fire. However the flamebolt launcher is not without merit. It can hit very large swaths of pawns all at once, especially when facing late game raids. The large chemfuel puddle it creates can also be useful to prevent movement through an area. | The flame damage is small, the single shot is limiting, and a major threat in the late game when the armor is acquired, mechanoids, are completely immune to fire.
