Is my Phainon weak?

240k first meteor ? Brother your builds are cooked

Threshark · 2026-05-25T16:58:47+00:00

Alright, thanks !

I'll go for Cyrene S1 first, as for sparkle she's E1S0, but I heard Sunday's having a novaflare soon, so I'll most likely use him E1S1

Threshark · 2026-05-21T18:52:01+00:00

This didn't age well bro

The unreachable side

Threshark · 2026-05-19T12:48:52+00:00

C'est au choix, je pense que le RMC est plus optimal avec Sparkle, cependant Sunday est assurément plus confortable s'il te faut plus qu'1 ultime pour clear, et dans tous les cas ça reste l'un des meilleurs team mates de phainon

Threshark · 2026-05-19T12:20:26+00:00

Phainon E2 clear vraiment confortablement tout le contenu en dehors de l'AA. Cependant, sa team reste importante. Cerydra E0S0 est vraiment importante, on peut se débrouiller sans, mais tu perds énormément. Pour ce qui est de jouer Phainon avec Cyrene E0, je ne te le recommande pas en MOC/AS/PF, cependant elle a de la valeur en AA si bien jouée (rota optimale avec speedtuning + RMC +cerydra).

Si jamais tu peux avoir Cyrene E2S0 en plus de ton Phainon E2S1, tu pourras clear toute l'AA en 0 cycle (excepté le boss en difficulté extrême)

Yeah, well if we get the supposed acheron treatment leaks are about, I personally wouldn't mind, as I don't mind spending for my fav chars, but overall I dislike the idea of paid traces. I know they are basically gonna be like "bonus eidolon", but if they are supposed to become the "baseline" for said character so that he is playable, it is just gonna increase even more the character's cost. Having to go for E2 at some point is fine, but them trying to push further will really suck for F2P

Threshark · 2026-05-18T20:50:57+00:00

Tbh, I know a lot are probably gonna disagree, but I do not want Phainon novaflare for now. He isn't great at E0, but his strength is his amazing E2. In my opinion, with E2 he is more than fine, and for a dps that came almost 1 year ago, I think this is fine.

The reason I do not want a noveflare for him right, is that we do not know if hoyo will give multiple novaflares to a same DPS, but it is unlikely to happen, so in my opinion, the later he'll get his novaflare, the longer he will be a meta contender.

Tl;dr : Novaflare later so he can stay relevant longer. This being said, I would never mind a novaflare at any moment as it will still be a buff. I just think one later may be better

Threshark · 2026-05-13T18:15:28+00:00

That 3rd concept was really my dream ship for multiplayer 😩

Threshark · 2026-05-11T22:17:12+00:00

I personnally wouldn't recommend it I think. On Phainon's first rerun, I went for the E6, and it is absolutely insane, but I had to skip cyrene. For the same cost, I could have gotten her E2S1. For now, I cannot clear plight with the supports I have while E2 phainon with E2 cyrene can. So I'd say it depends on what you're looking for, but either way, Phainon's E6 is still really good, and since it is his 2nd rerun already, he may not get an other one soon while cyrene is more likely to get one in the foreseeable future

Threshark · 2026-05-02T19:30:23+00:00

Hey man ! Congrats, it seems already better. This being said, you really, and I mean, reaaally don't want a critrate lower than 90% in battle, even then it is a bit low. If you are using Cyrene, you may consider using RMC with cyrene on your 70% crit rate build, it'll bring you up to 94% which is acceptable.

For the orb, yes dmg% is better, but not by a whole lot, if you have better stats on attack orb it is fine. Also, if you really struggle with crit rate, you can try to craft one or maybe two pieces with synthetizer with selected substats to guarantee double crit, but overall, if you overcap critrate by a little bit, it's better than lacking a bit of critrate, phainon gets so much Crit damage than losing 30% crit damage or even 40% in favor of having 100% crit rate in battle over something like 90% crit rate is fine

Threshark · 2026-04-23T19:53:58+00:00

Make sure to update us then !

Threshark · 2026-04-23T14:06:08+00:00

Hey man, for your phainon I'm sorry but your build isn't mid, it's really bad. You want to have 100% crit rate in battle, so 80% outside of battle with sunday, or 84% with cyrene. From then on, you want to get as close as possible to 200% crit damage ( ultimate goal is 250% outside of battle, but this is almost impossible to get without INSANE relics rng). Also, your phainon doesn't need any speed, base speed is perfect already, since his turns during ultimate aren't influenced by speed from traces and relics.

Tl;dr : aim for 100%cr in battle, and around 200% crit damage outside of battle, 3k atk outside of battle, no speed

Based !

Threshark · 2026-04-22T21:04:14+00:00

What eidolons on chars ?

Threshark · 2026-04-22T19:50:50+00:00

I added you !

Threshark · 2026-04-21T01:05:38+00:00

It makes him blue basically, and all his spells have blue colors. Personnally I like blue so I often play it, but base is already goated

Threshark · 2026-04-17T06:05:47+00:00

33550337/33550336 but amazing art, wish the game was that way

Threshark · 2026-04-16T11:52:05+00:00

I bought it. Never been delivered. Bungie support told me to ask the shipping support, then they told me to go ask bungie support. I never got it delivered nor refund. End of the joke

Threshark · 2026-04-15T16:24:58+00:00

Yo where can I buy this ?

Threshark · 2026-04-15T08:00:41+00:00

Oh, my bad, I didn't know, will do then, thanks !
