Fenix is a straight offensive character with a partial focus on anti-ground combat. His largest advantage is his high hit points: He has the HP of both his Zealot and Dragoon forms, which is quite a bit higher than normal.

Fenix's signature ability is I Fear Not Death, which causes him to instantly come back as a Dragoon at his position when he dies as a Zealot instead of respawning at the base after a delay. (If he dies as a Dragoon, he respawns at the base as a Zealot after a delay.) This increases his hit point total substantially, and increases his range greatly and gives him an anti-air attack when he dies as a Zealot. Fenix's other spells are focused on combat but can be used as support spells.

The best counters for Fenix are air units, which he can't attack while in Zealot form. Melee units are also effective counters for him: In this map, melee units have fairly high attack values compared to the ranged units but have trouble getting within range of the ranged units. If Fenix is in melee combat and dies, however, his Dragoon is right next to an enemy melee fighter and he will probably have to retreat.

Grey Templar is something of an "oddball" character. He has powerful anti-ground support spells but no form of ground attack until he researches his ultimate. He is an effective counter for most air units and, if he co-ordinates well with the other players, a potent anti-ground unit. He can also use his Force Field spell to "push" allies past enemy heroes and simultaneously put a barrier between the enemy and his ally, which will be quite frustrating for the Zerg if he manages to pull it off.

Counters for Grey Templar are characters which can drain mana and thus make him useless against ground until he regenerates some mana. Stalker Slayer is a particularly good example of this, as he can use Crippling Blow or Mana Blockage to block Grey Templar's spells and then pummel him with normal attacks.

Destiny Archon is an offensive warrior, but his spells are fairly odd for one. The closest thing he has to an attack spell is Lightningport, which has a large drawback: If one of the spawned Archons dies, Destiny Archon is significantly weakened, and his spawned Archons are pretty fragile. Heroport is also a good spell for attacking ranged heroes with, because then he doesn't have to run up to them and expose himself to the ranged unit's attacks while doing so.
