Hello there,

We've tried to replicate it here, but the Phoenix worked properly in all of our tests.
Once you get killed with the Phoenix (it has one charge), you revive, becoming immune to all damage for 2 seconds, and there's a unique sound feedback.

We'll keep testing here, and please let me know if this happens again with you.

Cheers!

Grand will let you know if I encounter it again :)

I just had the same thing happen. I had two Phoenix up and unused and I died and there was no resurrection, match finished.

If the damage dealt exceeds your health during one revive, the next is automatically used. So if you have 1000 hp and two revives but take 3500 damage, you die. This is an active discussion in the Discord as to whether this should be changed.

I've never had a revive of any sort work for me in this game. It's my only complaint as the game is fantastic otherwise, but every time my HP hits 0 I die no matter what I have equipped.

The revive doesn't have any visual or audible effect that I have noticed, so it's easy to miss that it happens completely.

If there is an effect, it should probably be made a bit more obvious (there's usually so much stuff going on when we die that it's easy to miss stuff).

I also imagine it wouldn't be amiss to give a little bit of extra invulnerability time on a revive to drive the point home, I guess.

The dev team is looking into this, but keep in mind that currently the revive only restores your HP to full in some cases. You can still instantly die if the hit that kills you is worth more HP than you had plus your revive, you still die.

I have never been rezz'd even though I have had multiple phoenixes equiped over many different runs.

Question, did you play on the egypt map with the ankhs? Died to the ghost, perhaps?

The devs mentioned in another thread that there's an issue with leveling your phoenixes past level 1. You can see this in the "How to get 3 revives thread", they suggested not leveling up your phoenixes until a fix is made. The Ankh apparently also doesn't work properly yet either.

Nah, this happened even from normal enemy hits. I figured the ghost just insta-ends your run regardless of what's equipped.

This explains it, I typically try to keep levels mostly-equal so it must have always been over level 1.

Yes, that is correct. The ghost is instant death.

This overkill behaviour is not intuitive at all to the player and results in real feelsbad moments. +1 signed for changing it. There's no reason for a player to be surprised that they didn't get revived from an attack that hits them at 2hp left which they would have revived from if it hit them at 50 hp left.

The phoenix behaviour is really confusing and unclear, the item should not state that you will get revived if there are exceptions to that effect, in my opinion...
