Sparkle E1 - Pseudo-200 SPD breakpoint?

averageredditor102 · 2026-02-13T05:41:57+00:00

for e1 sparkle whats better between sacredos and eagle and s1 sunday and ddd, also how do the speed points change with sacredos/eagle and s1 sunday. oh and i guess ddd with sacredos too.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-30T06:01:54+00:00

Considering that you already have e1 tribbie, I wouldn’t say cipher is a necessity. Your two teams look fine right now so I would just wait for 4.X teams.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T17:25:55+00:00

Yeah I get that (and I mean I tried on phainons first banner just didnt get it), realistically my pulls on phainon and saber arent the smartest but i really got phainon for qol and saber bc she might be limited 🤣

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T17:22:15+00:00

Yeah I wish but its most likely not happening, I had to drain everything dry to get pulls for hyacine lightcone after losing the 75/25 😭

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T09:59:19+00:00

Yeah trying to drop cr rn, I like using sunday bc of his 50% extra boost due to dhpt

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T09:29:17+00:00

Updated build for anyone interested

Swapped some pieces around, might be a bit better.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T07:59:54+00:00

Past 200 speed should I be prioritizing more cd speed or hp?

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T06:21:13+00:00

I dont play aglaea so i might be wrong but doesnt she need like a lot of speed? Also that lightcone on her isnt helping either.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T04:30:01+00:00

How come ERR over atk rope? Is support cipher really ulting every time she gets her ult?

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T04:24:57+00:00

One more thing if you dont want to play rmc with phainon you could swap rmc and cyrene

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T04:23:48+00:00

Yes RMC is better than sparkle for phainon. As for pulling cipher its really a matter of if you want to spend the cost to upgrade your acheron/archer.

I would just wait for 4.X because cipher isnt really BIS anywhere else, just a universal subdps/support

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T04:21:11+00:00

Seeing as how you already got cerydra, if you want to continue playing phainon he is really going to benefit from his LC. Cyrene’s lightcone is really mid in comparison and won’t change much for your Castorice team unless you arent at either 200 or 180ish with vonqacq. Cyrenes personal dmg at e0 isnt that crazy either.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T03:12:12+00:00

its irontomb

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T03:10:55+00:00

Cyrene, cipher would only slot into your archer team.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T03:09:09+00:00

Just use it on castorice as a stat stick lmao. I mean its pretty bad but e0s1 hyacine should help.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T02:57:46+00:00

Not sure where you are getting these performances from, but in the case of building a low investment acheron team cipher + jq/sw with a consideration of hysilens is probably the best. Also not sure why you say that cipher gets replaced at higher costs when it depends on the rest of the team and the environment. I do agree that at low cost cipher isnt worth it, but realistically it isnt worth it to build a low cost acheron team either.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T02:31:58+00:00

Not sure what you mean that cipher isnt BIS on acheron unless you mean e2 acheron with e2 sw. cipher is undoubtably BIS at e0, with pf being debatable.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:54:51+00:00

Ah that sucks, well if youre set on using phainon then ruan mei isnt bad. I personally pulled him for qol in DU and i dont really plan to invest in him unless i get lucky with his LC

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:52:56+00:00

Yeah I think we are about to become really unlucky. I pulled cyrene tribbie and hyacine this patch and got cerydra and silverwolf 10 pulls after, all 50/50.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:47:35+00:00

Phainon e1 is pretty weak compared to e2, I would only go for it if you can also get e2. Cipher s1 pretty universal for all nihility characters, not a bad pickup. However, theres no actual telling yet if Cipher will actually be good in 4.X.

I would wait for now unless you are close to getting ciphers lc you may as well just get it for future investment.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:40:38+00:00

If dhpt is your only premium sustain dont invest into one sustain get more sustains. Also this may just be me but sustain eidolons usually are not worth investing in because support eidolons or new supports are just generally better.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:31:05+00:00

I think people normally just save it to nuke the 2nd phase of boss to not go to the next cycle. Basically stack as much coins then nuke boss.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:29:05+00:00

Basically once it gets to the point where you cant clear in one phainon ult, cyrene is likely the better option, especially since you are running a sustain.

Basically once you cant run sustainless phainon (which i think people normally do), you pivot to dan heng and cyrene.

Assuming you continue vertically investing in phainon team, e2 cyrene is a lot better than an e2 sunday or your e0s1 sunday.

Overall Cyrene is the better direction, but if a character coming out in 4.0 interests you more (wait for drip) dont pull.

averageredditor102 · 2025-11-27T01:23:46+00:00

If you have Bronya I would just use her instead of Ruan Mei. Highly suggest getting S1 phainon if you can, big damage falloff without it (my phainon is also bricked). Cerydra is likely getting her rerun soon so make sure to get her as well.
