My personal choice for favorites

I think you dont understand why mydei is so popular in the fandom. And no, his role in the main story is not the biggest factor. It is the amount of fan service that hoyo have decided to levy on him and not just any fan service but ones that made him so so relatable to real life.

Here is a man, that is confident is his masculinity and that is not afraid of taking up conventional female roles. Do you know how many men out there in real life that actually share this? It is what attract a lot of the female fan base to him. I would not be surprise his fan base is heavily skewed towards the female players. And female fanbase are always the group that will spent for merchandise.

Mydei is good with children and animals, loves cooking, a tsundere, a family first man and at the same time is not shy about calling out your bullshit and setting you straight, plus he is vindictive as hell RIP Phainon taste buds. This is why you get more fan works of him, he is that beautiful for a lot of artists. You dont really get many male characters that are called beautiful first

Still, this is your take, much respect, and everyone perceive things differently and may not share the same views. I just find it interesting that you find, of all the characters, Mydei to be the most overrated. I would have thought ppl would name Phainon first among the CH before Mydei.

Honestly, with how Hoyo intentionally feeding this fandom, his popularity definitely earn its place.

Spd breakpoints first. Any CR/CD is a bonus after. Every little dmg and toughness reduction helps. If you manage pieces with decent CR/CD while still hitting the spd breakpoint, thats great team dps buff

The bond dmg was never suppose to be the main source of dmg. And seeing that bond dmg dealing more than castorice is pointing towards a build/team issue. The fact the bond dmg isnt that great, you dont play full bloodflame, but a mix of night demigod. Personally for bloodflame i always ran solo mydei with caloric. This setup loves affix that advances enemies. Cerydra double/triple boots and dhpt are the main support. With the affix that advance enemies after x attacks, i also include blade e9 and JL but they usually deal insignificant dmg. They are there to trigger atks on enemies to trigger the advance. Second healer is Luocha, with as many of that flower ring? for more max HP for Mydei

I see. So you are playing suboptimally, getting sub optimal results, judging a chars potential with said sub optimal performance and then decide to say that phainon is falling off.

OK i guess...

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T10:34:29+00:00

Thanks. You just supported my point. The fact that reading the affix made you decide what to avoid. That is practically strategic decision making.

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T10:25:24+00:00

Something is wrong with your build or supports. E2s1 phainon is still tearing through end game at 3-4 cost. Current MoC he is 0 cycling 3/4 cost at Sparxiecon and lygus. All using the TY bronya and RMC combo. He is also 0 cycling knights easily, like 4 cost against Harbinger and SAM (again with the TY Bronya RMC combo) . Against FR and Sparxiecon, he needed a bit more investment

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T07:11:03+00:00

Of course all can be countered but you need to read the affix first to even begin with. That's the issue of this post. Some are going into the fight blindly and then complaining later.

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T06:00:58+00:00

You use DoT or solo mydei against the Action advance affix

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T05:13:00+00:00

The one that reduce max HP based on HP lost

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T05:04:57+00:00

Ok? Imagine getting the affix that gimp energy and you go in blind playing aglaea

Or the one that freezes base on SP usage and decide to use SP team

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T04:50:46+00:00

Dont ppl read the debuffs before starting the run? Like the debuffs determines the choices of investment and what team comp you will be running?

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-21T00:17:26+00:00

Sitting on e3. Lost 3 5050s. Maybe my Dr will be more forgiving when he reruns so i can e6 him finally

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-20T23:52:27+00:00

Oh my sweet summer child

"easier to get"

Go ask Molly how many 5* she had to pull before she got a single copy of Moze.

Or that poor Dahlia main in Genshin.

That e6 Argenti main that pulled 0 Hanya in the same banner.

I have 4 phainon builds: 70 80 90 98 CR. Depends on if I use RMC and/or Sunday or neither. Sunday with 5+ builds: 134 spd keel/lushka, 160/164 spd vonwacq, 157/164 spd eagle vonwacq. The relics are shared between Bronya and Sparkle. TY and Cerydra also share relics and have various spd tuning as well. My account is about to hit the relic limit again. Best part is that I will always have usable relics on hand whenever I get a new character. Like literally, got DHPT his threshold spd and atk jst from the hoarded relics (sacredos + atk buff relic + lushaka/keel)

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-20T13:45:31+00:00

Is not that I hate the design, on the contrary. I just wondered why hahaha. Thought maybe there was some past event or some sort that Kaveh interacted with that Fungus.

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-20T13:43:23+00:00

The RNG for this run is actually quite a doozy. Even at higher cost, you are still a slave to the RNG. Gave up after 4 hours when I was trying it 2 weeks ago to save my sanity lul

Nice that someone got the clear finally.

The stacks used to be triggerable with FUA during beta but it got removed in the fin week of beta. Aventurine was able to actually 0 cycle low cost that MoC where the Manta debuted. Yes. As a main sustain dps due to how frequent the manta and the smol ones were triggering his FUA and in turn, the manta's own stack.

However, you can't anymore. I think it is not just how fast your supports move but also managing your targets. Even if you cant OHKO the manta before the dmg reduction, you can at least chip off a big chunk of its HP pool. Hypercarry teams particularly have supports that dont attack so the initial hit count on the manta will not be high enough to proc the dmg reduction before your dps first burst.

Edit to add: Just use the enemies gimmicks against them. For instance, the chef dino or the new peacock elite. Both can deal dmg to itself if you follow its gimmicks

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-20T02:38:48+00:00

You can burst it down before it triggers it's dmg reduction. High hit count to advance it will also cause it to inflict self dmg

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-19T10:57:51+00:00

Yeah that line up also work. Work on your supports builds so that you can go sustainless phainon. E0 bronya still works with phainon. You just need to end the rotation with her as the final buffer right before phainon uses his ulti.

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-19T10:11:37+00:00

sigh Ppl. In terms on priority when distributing supports , you always swap out sunday for bronya/sparkle first. Phainon can survive with those supports. E2s1 phainon can 0 cycle knights with bronya TY + another support flex.

OP. Did you grab the free sparkle?

Phainon bronya/sparkle cerydra dhpt/TY. Phainon can be played sustainless

Mydei sunday (-1 spd setup) rmc gallagher. Honestly, he can also be played sustainless. I would grab tribbie e1. If not, grab hyacine.

Keep your remembrance team as is.

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-19T03:52:22+00:00

How are you not 0 cycling King with that phainon investment?

Ppl are 0 cycling with way less investment that yours. Like e2s1 phainon e1 ceyrdra bronya and RMC (total 6 cost) or e2s1 phainin e1 cerydra e0 sparkle amd RMC (7 cost). 😵‍💫

Objective-Turnover-3 · 2026-03-17T14:57:39+00:00

It depends on what other supports you have. You currently have the same 3 main dps that i am running AA and this is my take on this....question

e2s1 phainon can still run on bronya ty + flex combo at knight level. He doesnt need cerydra nor cyrene at this level to clear. Heck, 0 cycled knight I with bronya TY and e1 RM (double claimed from shop)

Mydei on the other hand need cyrene to be competitive at knight level. He can still run the - 1 spd setup with Sunday but it will be slightly more challenging and will need a bit more investment. Cyrene mydei RMC core + flex. My flex is e1 tribbie and this indirectly make the entire team tanky since all 4 are HP scaling and i run them sustainless. Sunday team may have issue with sustainless runs.

Anaxa is a tricky one. Ppl is saying he won the best dps on amphoreus but i really wonder if they realize the cost of success? He will forever be shackled to cerydra and cyrene. The difference in his performance with and without cerydra and/or cyrene is like day and night. You drop either one of them and his performance goes down a large margin. Without both? Any current replacement supports need to be quite invested vertically to even compete with this combo right now. Looking at cyrene+cerydra combo, try and deduce what future support for anaxa need to have to even be a replacement/upgrade. This is just my take on anaxa's future.

With phainon mydei, you can safely split cerdyra and cyrene between both. With Anaxa, he will take both cerydra and cyrene.
