At the moment I am playing an impossible mage game (no loss).
In debir I was able to buy the summon phoenix spell, having descent succes with this spell in AP I buy the spell but noticed that the phoenix got upgraded. The new phoenix (specially the Mature Phoenix) is way better.
Because of the new phoenix I was able to clear every single monster and enemy hero on Scarlet within 5 hours and hit level 9.
(Only the octopus boss is still alive in Scarlet).
Now I am on Bolo and its also very easy.
My lineup is Royal snakes because of initative , 7 because of blue pet.
and 4 stack of inquisitions, 1 inquisition per stack. This makes easy ressing when they get nuked or killed by ranged attack. Also I got 1 Troll and 5 Archmages as reserves in case the battle needed it.
The power of the phoenix now increases with int and summon skill.
I included 4 screenshots.
The first is the old Phoenix.
Second is the new Phoenix with int 7 and no summonskill.
The third and fourth is with int 7 and summonskill 1.
Please take note on the higher damage skill of the phoenix.
