Arcane Phoenix

:Not to be confused with Arcane Phoenix (mount)
 is a monster unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Warden and the Paunch.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Sanctuary of Asuryan
== Description ==
The Arcane Phoenix is a majestic and fearsome creature, with a wingspan typically as great as any of the mighty war-eagles of the High Elves. They are cloaked in blazing feathers that can turn the sharpest arrow, their true power bound to their nature as a creature of spirit and fire; the living embodiments of the destructive and purging Wind of Aqshy. Flames dance across their pinions to sear their prey whenever they attack, a long pair of feathered tails leaving a spray of blazing sparks and embers in their wake as they swoop across the battlefield. Wizards go to great lengths to bind Arcane Phoenixes to their will whenever they appear, both to command their considerable power as well as to keep their destructive wrath out of the hands of their enemies.

== Strategy ==
The Arcane Phoenix is the fire phoenix on steroids. It has a better version of the rebirth ability that does damage to nearby units as well as the ability to create a vortex spell underneath it that can damage clumps of enemy units. Other than that it has a base 20% physical resistance, better damage, and better melee stats for a higher price point.
The Arcane Phoenix has a high chance to destroy enemy single-entities nearby when it dies or when its rebirth ability triggers. If the player is killing an Arcane Phoenix with a single entity killer like a Carnosaur, Kharibdyss, Dragon Ogre Shaggoth, Vargulf, etc, then it may be best to move away and deliver the killing blow with a less expensive unit, ranged fire, or a damage spell.
Also, the Arcane Phoenix has a base 20% Physical Resistance, 70% Fire Resistance, and 10% damage resistance with attuned to magic making them a rival to The Skolder Guard (Irondrakes) for most resistance in the game.
