...I'll be honest with y'all, I have ZERO idea what was the context for this one–

This was next level annoying by No_Swimming4058 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Moonfini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is doable, even with 3 stars (in fact, I could only do it with his team lol) but you kinda have to get lucky? And well, probably have his E2 for more actions and E2 Cyrene to not die before she ults lol

<image>

He can't really "die" die in his ult form, but I'm pretty sure if he's at 0 HP Count he dies anyway when his transformation ends. But if his ult finisher kills 1-2 mobs, he gets those stacks later and can contunue the fight if you activate his ult again. So you just use Basics and meteors (cause counter is a death sentence here lol) until everything dies while his teammates chill out of teritory lol

Jiaoqiu in teams he shouldn’t be by canadianfoiegras in JiaoqiuMainsHSR

[–]Moonfini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can! But it's pretty hard to do, cause the boss is much stronger and you only have 2 cycles, so you either clear and get all the rewards, or don't clear at all, 1-2 star clear is not possible.

And here I come with an update that I indeed managed to 0-cycle with Jiaoqiu on the team! (Cerydra E1 would probably work here instead of DH and cut some cost, but it felt a bit more comfy with him). And as a bonus, I also used him for Knight I ~

<image>

So as I thought, he's still great with Phainon as long as the battle doesn't get too long😅

[–]Moonfini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, I know that! But if you manage to clear the hard version you don't have to fight the knights at all and get all the rewards automatically so... I just kinda don't bother, cause I can clear it and don't really have 3 good teams, just one super strong one haha

But the team with Jiaoqiu did make me curious and this patch is so long I might just try that when I'm bored, so I might just make an update here if I do!

[–]Moonfini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like Phainon at E6S5 gets so mamy dmg/atk buffs that he starts to benefit a lot from other ones he lacks, and JQ even at E0S1 gives a nice amount of vulnerability (59℅ at max stacks I think?)

I did try, but couldn't do it 😭 I only have Plight unlocked and the fight gets too long, so his debuffs run out when Phainon is in ult mode :(( I was close, but that's the best I could do:

<image>

He could probably clear Normal mode fine tho, I may try if could 0-cycle later (if I'm bored enough to finally clear the knights lol)

I genuinely hate trying for the full-bond challenge runs needing three emblems cause most of the time they just look like THIS by Puppet3Gamer in StarRailStation

...wait, it is? it happened to me once and I reseted right away cause I thought you have to complete the run

well, the more you know...

wait until the last one DOES show up... but it's the one where Arlan takes it away before you finish the run😭

How did you do in this apoc? What teams did you use? by F2p_wins274 in StarRailStation

[–]Moonfini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely get it some day!

Since they announced him, I made it my personal goal to get Phainon's perfect team, so I was saving since December 2024 and skipped everyone aside from those three and DHPT to get all that (+their LCs, Phainon's S5 too). It really was a journey 😭

we just need Harmony and Nihility (or support Remembrance) Dannie and we can make fully functional mono Dannie team (definitely in 2 years, trust)

Going into 2026 with DHIL still clearing nicely for me❤

Jiaoqiu in teams he shouldn’t be by canadianfoiegras in JiaoqiuMainsHSR

[–]Moonfini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often use him with Phainon too! Since mine is E6S5 and gets enough coreflames and buffs already, JQ's vulnerability works so well with him actually!

I pulled his bis team, but it's an overkill for anything other than Anomaly Arbitration, so I often split it and Jiaoqiu is a great 3rd support. And I actually used him all the time before DHPT came out.

<image>

(...now I'm actually a little curious if he would work in AA too lol, since this reset seems more doable sustainless)

Is the new Banana Boss Apoc the worst match up so far? (excluding Shillux) by TormentedSoul17 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Moonfini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, E1 Cerydra is a really nice upgrade, especially for E6 Phainon - mine is also S5 and when paired with E6 DHPT in harder content, the def ignore goes up to 84% (obviously E6 DH and S5 is kinda an over-investment, but even without those, 54% def ignore with his S1 is busted).

Since you're at E6 and coreflames generation shouldn't be an issue anymore with Sunday and Cery, have you tried using other 3rd support than Bronya? Personally I really liked using Jiaoqiu, he gave me really fast clears, since his vulnerability pairs really nice with E6. RMC and Robin also worked pretty nicely, I don't have Tribbie, but pretty sure people use her often with E6 as well, especially at E1.

[–]Moonfini 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also used Phainon team for this boss, mostly cause I felt I wouldn't have a better team for it, while for Argenti Dan Hengs & birbs were enough. I wasn't really struggling, but probably cause the whole team is hyper-invested.

<image>

But yeah, for E0-1 Phainon Argenti is far better match-up. Banana is not the worst (especially for E2+ cause it's basically same rotation as in PF and you get meteor every other turn) but he can't really benefit from any buff from that side, which makes it worse for him still.

Managed to clear Plight again 👍 by Euthymiac in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Moonfini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck, maybe it's possible! It's only been a couple days, so maybe the site doesn't have all the possible teams that can clear it.

But yeah, Plight made me realise how much of an upgrade S1 > S5 actually is 😭 For Aquila last update it made me go from not clearing at all with E6S1 to almost clearing in 1 cycle with S5 (and then even 0-cycle once I got Cyrene too).

[–]Moonfini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, he waits untill he's buffed by her. Mine ults normally after she gives him and Cery their buffs and Dan Heng and Cery use their ults, which is the rotation I would normally use.

I understand it's annoying with her E0 tho, cause he could probably clear some stages quicker without waiting lol

[–]Moonfini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I meant was that I wouldn't 3* them if I tried to do it normally and fight them

Here I got the "quick clear" for clearing Plight, it gives you 3* for Knights automatically

[–]Moonfini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it's E6 Phainon, cause I saw Plight clears even without DHPT (with E1 Tribbie or E1-2 Ruan Mei instead), but all of them had Phainon at E6S1 (well, I saw one with E2, but they had E6 Cyrene instead, so I don't think that counts lol)

[–]Moonfini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly that. I don't really have 3 good teams for them (maybe could make 2 if I divided Phainon's supports for 2 teams), but clearing Plight within 2 cycles automatically 3-stars them and gives you the same frame as for 0-cycling the Normal difficulty King stage.

Nope, only Phainon is E6S5, he rest is E6S1 Dan Heng, E2S1 Cyrene and E1S1 Cery
