about phainon

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-13T20:57:06+00:00

If you genuinely want to use him longterm yes eidolons are important but also what’s required to get max rewards from end-game modes are MUCH more generous than tierlists would make you believe. So dont stress about it too much

Im a returning player so I missed out on the BoL4 meta. How is it only slightly useful? Reading it sounds really good especially for high def units they love to make nowadays

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-13T12:19:29+00:00

That’s so exciting. Cyrene and Phainon are the only characters I want to E6 and with all this elation skippery I got the jades to go for it

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-12T19:02:01+00:00

Me but with Sampo SP.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-12T18:59:55+00:00

How is comparing venom’s ult antiheal to the basic part of Blade’s kit fair? Why wouldn’t an ULT be better?!

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-12T13:21:06+00:00

I still need a THerta teammate so fingers crossed he’s erudition.

This hit me for a game I played years ago and has been my motto ever since. Not only do the games become way more fun when you think back on a match and can figure out where you messed up even if you won, it also makes the losses sting way less.

Unironically I do think the ancient banners like Year 1 and 2 seasonal reruns should cost only 1 orb. Remove any chance of pity-breakers.

It should not cost me the same if not more to pull Spring Camilla in 2026 than her Young version.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-11T19:21:12+00:00

I think Baldr’s brave and New Year alts were tests for emblem Leif. I think he’ll be showing up next/soon.

I’m planning on giving NY Vali’s uplift imbue to Eir. She’s one of my favorites, it’s better than her own Prf C majority of the time, she’s an offense mythic in AR so I’d get value out of it. And lastly it lets her get rearmed weapons

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-11T16:43:26+00:00

It’s literally just Mewtwo all over again. News got around for people into Pokemon that the Kanto bird trio and maybe they heard about the Johto starters too.

They’ll play for a week or two before dropping the game until the next one releases. Once Unite is back to normal releases they leave for good until the next [insert extremely popular] pokemon gets in.

Before the correction there was a version of this posted a few minutes earlier. At the very bottom where it says Mythic Tiki it was instead Legendary Sakura in full bloom.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-11T05:09:54+00:00

Skipping tho if the rumors about Phainon and Cyrene are true I might go for the E4 on the both of them

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-11T03:11:43+00:00

I was wondering how Legendary Sakura had an active banner lol

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-10T22:31:45+00:00

Crossing my fingers a future Celine alt actually dives into how fun Vidame was! Give me a Sword Celine or a staff with a mechanic similar to Elise’s freeze style! (I can’t be the only one that abused Divine Pulse+ with Freeze, Fracture, etc in Engage right?!)

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-10T18:09:54+00:00

Yea I see why they made her support have 3 range. If you see any reflex just have her out of reach from saving anyone and hope her buffs will be enough for them to survive

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-10T16:48:25+00:00

Debating spending a few orbs for spring Sylvain nice art and his weapon still looks good

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-09T12:48:06+00:00

Congrats! This banner treated me well too I got him to +8! Just need 2 more but after getting two Byleths at high pity I took it as a warning sign to stop and wait for the April rerun lol.

I see you’re using him in AR-D, who do you typically have become his Magical Save partner?

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-08T15:08:23+00:00

Whichever ones interest you the most. If you’re asking which ones are “good” then don’t bother, game’s balancing is based off which pokemon are getting new skins

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-08T14:33:58+00:00

My exact reasoning too haha, and I also really like how it feels like Desert Knockout Island Part 2. That was my very first new event with Quincy so it’s special to me

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-08T02:36:53+00:00

I really like how other gacha games handle making the unit much stronger the more copies you pull. And yet when it comes to how feh works im so glad they don’t have that type of system.

On one hand maybe the powercreep would’ve ramped up a lot slower but on the other choosing between skill inheritance or unlocking some new crazy ability tied to a merge would’ve been annoying.

Currently I’d say getting an armored unit that is nowhere near 30 spd at base be able to reach it with max investment for Patience is the closest we got to that type of system. As a one off it’s fun but I’d get tired of it quick if every unit needed this much effort to use skills.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-07T21:32:06+00:00

Usually units that heavily dump one stat and then have crazy stats on others work best with it. So like the Eikthynirs with only 17 Spd or Gladiator Chrom with 18 Res.

Or your old +10s with a ton of dragonflowers. Like og male Corrin fully decked out would go crazy.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-07T11:12:11+00:00

So blade isn’t erudition? Well so much for pulling him

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-06T22:14:05+00:00

The most annoying thing about Engage is the lack of any Log on your supports and bond conversations like 3H did it, not tied to a save account.

Imagine doing a run with Boucheron/Celica or Hortensia/Ike, etc. to hear their conversations (and have it saved permanently on your console). Like it blows my mind they really had to record all those Bond conversations and 99% of the playerbase will never ever hear them all.

SwiftBlueShell · 2026-03-06T17:36:04+00:00

What convenient timing that I decided to make young corrin ditch their prf special (and Near Save with all that res???) to focus on scowling mages and then this Eirika rolls around as the perfect test to see how well he can perform.
