4. Ultimate – Supernova (Hotkey: V)
The Phoenix willingly ends his current life for the chance to be reborn. Transforms into a burning sun that scorches enemies within 1000 range. The sun can be attacked by enemy heroes; if it is destroyed, the Phoenix dies as well. However, if the sun survives for 6 seconds all enemies in range will be stunned and the Phoenix will return to life fully regenerated.

CORE ITEM BUILD
Bracers obviously because he is a strength hero{can be later upgraded to Ancient Janggo of Endurance}. Ring of Basillus is required because he needs a lot of mana early game and Ring of Basillus is the cheapest item to take care of it+ The extra damage and armor{considering Icarus's 0 base Armor} is always welcome.
Power Treads is the obvious choice because it gives Icarus damage + hp. That's why we take treads over phase boots. Stygian Desolator is the best orb amongst all which fits Icarus{Wtf! U have 2 heals and you want Life Steal also...n0ob} and allows him to take towers.

Go for Vanguard only if you are farming really well during Mid-Game, else skip this and directly go for Heart of Tarassque. Ancient Janggo of Endurance is a logical upgrade for your bracer as it gives +8 all attributes + much needed Movement Speed and Attack Speed aura{Dont get it if someone else on the team is getting it} as Icarus is quite slow despite the PTs. Get Assault Curass as it provides Icarus some armor and survivability late game. If cannot farm that much settle for Medallion of Courage instead.{Do not get if the other team has a Stygian Desolator}.
Late Game you can sell your PTs and buy this instead. Along with the +95 MS{as i've been saying all along in this guide and if you still didn't get it then kinda like your brain} Icarus is slow + It allows you to teleport and gank and support{the 2 things you are meant to do}. Save the rest of the gold for buying yourself back incase you die. Late game 80 seconds can either win or lose you the game.
I personally do not get these items, but if there are a lot of casters in the opposite team and if nobody else can buy them then you can buy these items{namely HoD and Pipe} for your team{as i will be saying, Icarus is an imba farmer}. Linken's if stunners for some reason seem to have a fascination for only you late game.
