The Phoenix V2 awakening in King Legacy has become one of the most expensive and rewarding transformations introduced in Update 8. With a total gem cost of over 1100, plus strict dungeon requirements and fruit sacrifices, this awakening demands serious preparation. But for players committed to mastering one of the most iconic healing and flying fruits in the game, Phoenix V2 delivers flashy, powerful skills fit for both dungeon support and solo PvE.
This guide will explain step-by-step how to awaken Phoenix V2 in King Legacy, including fruit and gem requirements, dungeon grinding, and which skills are worth upgrading.
What Is Phoenix V2 in King Legacy?
Phoenix V2 is the awakened version of the Phoenix Fruit. It enhances every aspect of the original moveset—from healing and flight to offensive burn attacks. However, unlike other fruits, awakening Phoenix requires not only clearing specific dungeons, but also sacrificing two extra Phoenix Fruits, making it the most resource-intensive awakening process in the game.
Phoenix Awakening Requirements – Step-by-Step
1. Prepare 3 Phoenix Fruits
To awaken Phoenix, you need:
-
1 Phoenix Fruit (must be eaten by your character)
-
2 extra Phoenix Fruits (to be sacrificed at the altar)
All three must be in your possession before starting the process. If you’re missing one, you’ll need to trade or spin more fruit first.
Tip: Use the in-game trading hub or join a trading Discord community to secure extra Phoenix Fruits.
2. Go to the Awaken Fruit Altar – Third Sea
-
Travel to The Unearthly in the Third Sea.
-
Locate the Awaken Fruit Altar, found near the fruit seller.
-
Insert the two extra Phoenix Fruits into the altar slots.
3. Speak to Master Awaken
Once the altar is activated, talk to Master Awaken, who will show you a list of Phoenix skills that can be awakened. Each skill has two requirements:
-
A Sea 3 Dungeon clear quota with Phoenix Fruit equipped.
-
A Gem payment to unlock the awakened version.
The Master will track your progress for each skill automatically as long as you’re using Phoenix during dungeon runs.
How to Clear the Sea 3 Dungeon for Awakening
The required dungeon is the Sea 3 Dungeon, located at Detention Island—to the right of The Unearthly.
Key Notes:
-
You must complete the dungeon using Phoenix Fruit, meaning you must have it equipped and active during the entire run.
-
Do not solo if you’re under-leveled. Phoenix V1 has limited offensive skills, so bring teammates.
-
Each skill has a specific number of clears required, detailed below.
Gem Cost and Dungeon Requirements for Each Skill
| Skill | Dungeon Clears Required | Gem Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Z | 1 clear | 25 gems | Burn damage |
| X | 3 clears | 75 gems | Self-heal only |
| C | 5 clears | 199 gems | Charge knockback |
| V | 9 clears | 499 gems | Phoenix transformation |
| E | 7 clears | 349 gems | Fly (weakened in awaken mode) |
Total Cost: 1147 gems + 3 Phoenix Fruits
Dungeon Runs: At least 25 total clears for full awakening.
Skill Recommendations – Which Phoenix Moves Should You Awaken?
Not all awakened skills are necessarily better than their base versions. Here’s a breakdown:
✅ Must Awaken
-
Z (Burn Card Shot): Adds fire-based ranged damage—great for chip and combo setups.
-
V (Phoenix Mode): Transforms your character into a flying phoenix with strong offensive stats.
-
C (Charge Slam): Adds AoE knockback and fits well in PvE/boss fights.
⚠️ Optional Awaken
-
X (Heal): Only heals yourself, not allies. Still useful for solo survivability, but doesn’t support teams.
-
E (Flight): Awakened version focuses on single-target dive attack, but loses the AoE tornado effect from base version. Many players recommend keeping the unawakened version of E for its better PvE utility.
Tip: You can choose not to awaken E and leave it in its original form to retain its AoE damage effect during flight.
Farming Tips for Awakening Faster
-
Join active Sea 3 dungeon farming groups to speed up clears.
-
Equip damage or healing passives that synergize with Phoenix V1’s utility.
-
Use Battle Pass Points and Fragment/Book farming during dungeon clears for additional rewards.
You don’t have to awaken all moves at once—progress is saved, so you can awaken each move as you accumulate the required gems and clears.
Final Thoughts
The Phoenix V2 awakening in King Legacy is a serious investment, but for those who commit, the payoff is a flashy, powerful hybrid of healing, flight, and burn-based offense. With a gem cost of 1147 and multiple dungeon clears required, players must plan wisely, especially when deciding which skills to awaken first.
Whether you’re a solo grinder or team supporter, Phoenix V2 gives you a versatile combat style that scales well in Update 8’s high-difficulty content—especially event dungeons and raid bosses.
