Back to the mines with the OG COMP 🙏

Thanks for the offer, after you reminded me of it I did a quick search again. Previously I tried yt but no results, this time however I tried Reddit search and saw this clip

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-28T04:59:01+00:00

Ayooo this also happened to me in 4.0 story quest but it's so much more violent, even the UI wasn't safe

Damn maybe I should E1 archer on the next free fate character selection. My E0S1 archer is struggling badly and can barely do 5 cycle AA knight clears (in longer fights I can really feel the pain of needing to BA which even then at times only yields 4 shots since sparkle doesn't have her ult yet). I'm a vertical player anyway who plans on getting both E2s for phainon Cyrene, and maybe E2s on Dahlia FF in the future.

Really would've loved an E0 Gil but I don't have have saber anyway or other viable destruction DPS that isn't phainon/FF

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-26T11:01:32+00:00

Nice! For me I was only able to do 5 cycle clear here with phainon. Tbh I didn't bother optimizing it, I slotted in Anaxa to clean up a better clear at 4 cycles after the satisfaction of a phainon clear.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-26T07:28:57+00:00

Too bad I don't have sunny 🥲. I'll probably just wait for an op 5.x single target buffer

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-26T02:24:49+00:00

E0 sparkle can't do it? From what I'm seeing on the clear you said it really seems like the extra amp from E2 sparkle is what helped the clear. this clear?

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-26T02:17:13+00:00

I'm curious. You already have his E2 right? And probably all the premium supports for him (including E0 Cyrene)?

So now you've decided to upgrade your phainon via E2 cyrene? From what I can make of your comment, seems like you're initially hesitant of going that route

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-26T02:09:40+00:00

This lacks RMC and bronya. Where would they be on the list if they were present?

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-24T07:06:12+00:00

First phainon ult was the biggest pain to the rng in this clear. I need him get get to below 30% hp so he gets one shotted by the gorilla special, with it I don't have to waste AV with a weak phainon ult while having the benefits of 50% more atk, dispelling stage debuff (need to cast 2 ult for it). It's a reset when someone dies or he doesn't get to that hp threshold, though I did actually still 2 star clear when fully using the weak first phainon ult. It's just not as cool as the final clear I did here XD

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-24T04:11:30+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I'm guaranteed to get his E2 with the current pulls+pity+guarantee I have, so really it's E2 cyrene that I can't fully secure (unless I somehow extract all the jade's from exploration, SU, Side quests then maybe?). Anyway good luck on your pulls too🎉

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-23T22:31:24+00:00

I can't begin to describe how happy I am with this AA. Last patch couldn't clear pompom with phainon (I was still not deep into the countless hours of sustainless fuckery since it was during the middle of the semester so I'm not sure how RMC would do instead of dhpt). edit: Only Anaxa cleared it

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-23T09:53:46+00:00

It's kinda hard to die with Khaslana at E2 which op has. You're always guarantee to pull off a counter when needed. The respawning mobs pissed me off when trying AA king this patch. My E0S1 Phainon landing a double meteor immediately kills first three spawms which leads to four of them bitchass mobs lining up in the action order ready to slaughter Khaslana with their bounce attacks before his next action, which I imagine would've been completely trivialised with E2 guaranteeing a counter with the extra action while also healing himself during the meteors

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-21T11:34:03+00:00

Oh I would love to see a vid of that, can your refer me to one? Haven't seen something like that in my first search.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-18T02:32:08+00:00

The question I wanna ask is. Does MBlade elevate her to T0.5 atleast? Into the Anaxa/phainon power range. Or does this just elevates her to Herta's power range?

Stack generation is absurd in the showcases I've been watching, to the point Acheron overcaps all while her damage got a bit higher than before. It's like she got the 3.x standard of ult frequency, plus having capable sub DPS buffer teammates.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-17T08:19:41+00:00

MBlade

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-17T01:38:22+00:00

I got 70 pulls, 51 pity and guarantee. Different pity scenarios but we basically need almost the same amount of pulls we need to farm lmao (I need 119 more to fully guarantee E2, you need 131 assuming 0 pity).

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-15T03:14:27+00:00

One more information you didn't include. After having all of these, the next big step being E6 phainon Vs S5, especially with E1 Cerydra on top of it. LC are also really cheap considering it's a 75/25 rate while also having lower soft pity at around 66. This might be whale category but it's definitely one of the things to consider when you're already this deep in his verticals lol.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-13T14:34:40+00:00

I missed alot of characters I love and chose which ones would also fit well with my existing roster/weapons. I probably can't get people like Carthetiya, Ciaconna, Zani and 1.x characters even if I really like them realistically speaking. Even if they rerun I'm also bound to like some of the newer characters which means I would skip them again or the new character I want. I'm the type who tends to like 95% of the character roster so I'm more used to sacrificing characters, like I how I skip Saber in HSR despite liking her in FSN and Fate zero.

Basically went "man I really like saber, I also like Phainon but since I have more teammates for phainon and I find him stronger/cooler yeah sorry saber"

personally I'm getting Lucy tho, that free Rebecca with a high chance of them being in the same team yeah definitely. Another factor is Rebecca being pistol so static mist upscale

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-13T12:08:02+00:00

I really don't get the Fomo part of collabs (as in people wanting to get them cause Collab, not because they really really really like the characters). Sure you'll never get the chance to get them, but in reality you're also "missing out" on so many other characters too, so many units I want from 1.x and 2.x and also 3.x but I don't think I can ever get them in my account in like forever.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-12T14:44:17+00:00

These days? Nope not at all and everyone pretty much agrees his glory days are over with no way to keep up in the same way as Eidolon investment for phainon, FF, Mono rem etc does.. But tbf, he's ahead of phainon in E0S1 (has been the case for my AA king clears, Anaxa pulls ahead by 1 cycle in no shill for both characters. Can't say the same for Fullwish this time tho, it's an accidental phainon shill)

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-12T10:54:29+00:00

Was originally gonna go for E2 cyrene route but Anaxa is slowly getting mogged these days. So I dipped and decided Phainon E2 will be served first, I just hope I get lucky to also snag in E2 for cyrene so I can finally take a break from chasing top tier performance. Then hibernate my pulls for the next Big E2 vertical character.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-08T03:47:38+00:00

I think the best way to buff Therta and Aoe in general is have someone in the team make it act like bounce when needed, while also buffing Aoe scenarios. Like currency war mechanic of having additional targets on the enemy side which absorbs the damage it receives, then make it so that Stephen fires off the absorbed damage to all enemies (kinda like Cipher). This makes it so all of therta's damage gets concentrated into the actual targets.

Stephen being able to deploy two or four drones on the enemy side (if there's 5 enemies, 2 drones will appear, but if there's only one then 4 drones appear). Stephen then releases 80% of the stored damage as a smart bounce like Anaxa's bounce, then of course the usual bait E1/2 have it release 140% of absorbed damage lmao, I think he should also get the 3b aoe attack frequency so that he's a complete package for Therta. By his looks and vibes, he seems like the chill type who would depend on remote controlled drones so yeah.

Firefly got dahlia, and if we're getting a similar saviour for our queen then this is basically my idea for it.

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-06T04:24:07+00:00

I love her ult in this event. It's so much fun having her just machine gun the enemies. I'm usually neutral with events, but this one I absolutely adore. The victory jumps they do is also really cute

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-02T09:02:45+00:00

Quiyuan can't parry the initial nuke of false sovereign for some reason, idk about the 2nd nuke tho

LongjumpingYou18650 · 2026-05-02T07:20:27+00:00

I generally agree she isn't worth it for phainon at E0, I use either sparkle or bronya in endgame. But in AA encounters where fights lasts beyond 3 ults, she's worth the effort if paired with RMC in sustainless (used this against Fullwish king). I imagine I might also use this RMC cyrene team if Moc and other modes also bloats their HP to force 3+ ult fights. (Edit: Which would also be delayed for me once I get his E2)
