Firebirds and Phoenixes are the level 7 creatures of Conflux. They are recruited from the Pyre.

"Firebirds are worldly manifestations of creatures from the elemental plane of fire. These magnificent beasts are as quick as fire itself and immune to spells of the same nature. Phoenixes, the more powerful incarnation of the Firebird, can resurrect some of its number from the ashes of its own demise." ^{AB manual}

Rebirth special ability

Rebirth is a special ability of Phoenixes. It causes part of them to "rise from the ashes" if the whole stack is killed. The effect is similar to Resurrection spell, and it is permanent. The ability works only once per combat per stack.

Every Phoenix in the stack increases the chance to one of them to be reborn by +20%, but no more than one unit per a group of five Phoenixes may be reborn. In other words, one Phoenix will have a 20% chance to raise one unit with rebirth ability, three Phoenixes will have 60% chance to raise one unit, and 6 Phoenixes have 100% chance (always) to raise one unit with a 20% chance of raising a second.

Although Firebirds and Phoenixes are immune to fire magic, they are not unaffected by fire-based creature attacks. For example Magogs' fireball attack or Dragons' breath attacks are not considered to be magical and therefore they do harm Firebirds and Phoenixes. In the original game, they are considered to be one of the most overpowered level 7 unit because of their double growth, speed and specialty. They are useful for Dragogeddon, as they're immune to Armageddon (note that in 深渊号角 , only Phoenixes are immune to it, therefore in HotA Firebirds are useless for Dragogeddon). Though Phoenixes are not the strongest tier 7 creature, their main strength lies in their incredible speed. They are easily the fastest unit in the game and can cover the span of an entire battlefield with one movement. Even in low numbers, they are extremely handy in the ranks of a hero wielding powerful Expert spells like Slow, Haste or Prayer. An army containing Phoenixes is next to guaranteed to strike first, unless the foe has multiple speed-boosting artifacts like Cape of Velocity and/or is Sir Mullich. This gives the Phoenix controller the ability to immediately buff their entire army or cripple the opponent's. Beware of breath attack which may kill your own troops as well. The Phoenixes' ability to resurrect themselves, although it only works on a very small number of creatures compared to the original stack size, can be quite annoying for an opponent. For instance, it can make it harder to get rid of a stack of phoenixes forcing a shooter into melee, or to kill all of a weaker hero's army before they retreat or surrender with their artifacts. They are creatures summoned from the Elemental Plane of Fire.
