phoenix pretender problems

[Calahan]

Never end the Phoenix's script with 'Attack', since he has an awful attack. Unless you are trying to target a specific enemy group, such as Archers. But I find that's not needed for solo Indy expansion. Instead always end it with 'Cast Spells'.

Try the following which is based on just researching Evo1 and Alt2. You can upgrade (or add) spells as you research them. (for a typical F4A4 Phoenix).

1 - Arrow Fend
2 - Mirror Image (swap for Mistform when Alt3)
3 - Attack One Turn
4 - Burning Hands (swap for Shock Wave when Evo2)
5 - Burning Hands (swap for Shock Wave when Evo2)
End - Cast Spells
