Riot Games confirmed it’s working to deploy a fix for a Phoenix bug preventing the duelist from healing himself as intended using his signature ability.

Product management lead for VALORANT Coleman Palm addressed a Phoenix bug in a Sept. 11 post on X (formerly Twitter), confirming the duelist’s Hot Hands ability is unintentionally regenerating lower health than usual due to a bug on all versions of the game. While the developer was grateful for all the players who flagged the issue using in-game reports, the bug evidently flew under the radar for a majority of the player base. Just a few minutes later, game designer and live design lead for VALORANT penguin replied to the initial post, apologizing for the inconvenience caused to Phoenix players and reassuring them that a hotfix is coming soon.
