It is effective to use Phoenix Shift to get close to the enemy. However, if the enemy launches a Magic Attack, you will take damage and will not be able to get close, so watch the enemy's motion before using it.

By using the "Heatwave" ability of Phoenix at the right time, you can repel Magic Attacks. Heatwave needs to be learned manually so make sure to learn this ability from Ability Screen
