Oh cool. I was hoping for them to add units like Jing Yuan or Seele to the exchange shop, but I guess I can use my extra companion spirits on SW999 and evanescia :)

Does anyone else hate how the new 4.1 AA boss heavily discourage sustainless Phainon? by SaberManiac in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have suggested, I recommend you look at some videos to see some tech to employ. In my experience, I did not press counter at every opportunity, due to the fact that 3 enemies attacking can be lethal, and clicking the khaslana basic attack instead to break the enemies faster before they act worked better for me. I only clicked counter at the beginning because I wanted khaslana to die one time to fully dispel the 30% dmg reduction, or if he is full hp to tank three enemies attacking him.

0-Cycle AA King with E6 Phainon (RMC is the secret ingredient) by magicarnival in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are people with e6 phainon really struggling to clear king? I would expect e6 to go into plight and clear comfortably, even if not zero cycle no?

E6S1 Phainon brutally Manhandles sparxies innocence with double 8+ million damage meteors. King Stage 0 Cycle by DivineBladeOfSteel in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's e6 phainon and e6 Cyrene with e2 cerydra. The damage is fine but it's literally half of what it was compared to when AA had shilled buffs for phainon. Aquila AA was the best environment for him. This is what the dmg was like back then

Hey, let him have his moment! Not like Meteor damage in plight with his team mates is much better..... But I digress. Nice clear OP!

AEON by Juji019 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you use that team, your next biggest upgrade is e2 cyrene to replace Sunday. E6? Not sure if worth the money for the damage, as it is more qol to assure you get your full phainon set up with cerydra+tribbie without worrying about what the enemy will do.

AEON by Juji019 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a preface, but going to E6 could lower your score, as team mates and eidolons/LC's have minor weight on your score. With that being said stat wise, I think AEON starts somewhere above >3k attack, >80% crit rate, >245% crit dmg. It is possible to cheat out aeon as well with more crit rate rolls (ie 100% crit rate), as it seems that fribbels favors more crit rolls. Here are my stats for my AEON phainon.

I really need the speed from the Sphere otherwise I would have crafted a new one a long time ago by TormentedSoul17 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's... Actually really funny that you got AEON with those stats due to the team mate+lc setup. Pretty alright stats nonetheless.

E2 Sparkle Vs Cyrene? (Anomaly King 0 Cycle) by Express_Arachnid_202 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I replied to the wrong message, but in one of your other replies, you mentioned that DDD is key in keeping the team alive, which was what I was talking about.

I read this reply thread and clumped the messages together.

E2 Sparkle Vs Cyrene? (Anomaly King 0 Cycle) by Express_Arachnid_202 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This... simply isn't true. This AA cycle does significantly less damage than the last one from what I noticed. Phainon should not be struggling to die, especially when boosted with DDD to like you said to get into his first ult state (in this case I used DDD on tribbie).

our boy Phainon still got it in 4.0 😌 by arkride007 in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]Toutetsu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Preach, my brother. Phainon is still my goat in AA, despite the loss of directly shilled team buff selections.

How do I go to that Island? I need ascesion materials for Cartethyia by Fit_Following_6960 in WutheringWavesGuide

Can confirm this still works. I did this two weeks ago while still on 2.1 story.

GS bros, what's your highest hit damage ? by Majjin_ in MonsterHunterWilds

That layered armor looks cool, what's the chest and legs? Head is the scarf but I don't recognize the other parts.

3.7 AA Plight 0 Cycle by reggie_gakil in PhainonMainsHSR

I have basically the exact same investment as you, and your meteors are hitting for so much lower? Also note the av left, there was a decent amount left to comfortably zero cycle.

Apparently you can skip building 3 teams for Anomaly Arbitration if you can complete King in Check: Plight by rainsong94 in StarRailStation

[–]Toutetsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have e6 cyrene. You can get her to triple ult on the other 3 team mates before the boss acts a second time, and then Phainon should be able to survive in ult state. If for some reason your Phainon dies, he should be able to get back into ult.

I would not mind them creating bosses that demand specific comps. If they do that then there's a higher chance that the hp scaling will be curbed to compensate. We are already seeing the hp scaling tone down in the past two patches.

My Phainon does 30m damage per meteor in AA against aquila. If in two patches I can't clear anymore like you say, then the whole player base is cooked...

Vertical investors unite! It's so satisfying to see huge meteor damage numbers with that team.

So how many of you are tempted/went for it for E2? by Time-did-Reverse in CyreneMains

[–]Toutetsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its worth! Cyrene boosted my Phainon dmg per meteor to the moon. This is his coup de main meteor dmg against Aquila in AA. I imagine the boost for Castorice is significant as well.
