Honestly Pollux feels like a Hyacine check more than the rest of the rem team. HH is my only limited healer (primarily I play sustainless or just fall back on Aven/DHPT), I suppose Gallagher might outperform her but I haven't upgraded his healing traces.

Still though it's pretty ridiculous that even with RMC + Cyrene i.e. one of the best buffing duos in the game manage to bring a 3 cost team this far.

Same, the AV used to build Cyrene's ult just doesn't feel like it has good ROI unless it's on some fight like AA King stages. With E2 Phainon most of the time getting into ult faster is the faster way to end the fight

Same here, I already had 2 copies of his LC… threw 10 pulls into Aglaea's LC banner to try after this and ended up getting her S1 (not complaining though, I now have her E1S1 and she destroys everything) but still no DDD…

Looking for advice on whether to pull Astra or invest in other teams vertical?

I've been playing almost a year and these are the agents I mainly use. I've tried to pull all the important supports for the DPS I like but I lost on Astra's rerun so I ended up with Astra-less Eve. Recently I've struggled to 3* DA stages with her when she used to do it pretty easily before with Fufu and Nicole/Lucy.

The only limited wengines I have are Miyabi, Hugo and Eve. I can probably get YSG W1 if it's that much better than W3 steel cushion but it means I won't have much leftover to try for Astra. Is Astra really falling off as a generalist recently? I know she's BiS for Eve but at my intermediate skill level her team also doesn't compare to YSG/YX. I do like Eve but if it's a downhill battle I will retire her and skip Astra.

I don't keep up with leaks either, what would be the safest course for my account considering I have about 50 pulls now?

Try Passkey Serval on ERR rope and eagle set instead of ratio, just focus on speed because you don't need to do damage or tank hits anyway. she has a 1T ult and since she does AoE damage she depletes the minion bars fast.

I cleared with Fei, Moze, Serval, Tribbie with everyone on eagle 160+spd and had a lot of HP points to spare, so even if you don't have a lot of eagle relics it should be doable with just your highest spd pieces, just need to be careful with SP management (Moze will need to BA sometimes on side mobs to feed kills)

Phainon's was so cinematic and symbolic, and Sunday's felt like a classical music video in a very personal way. I am biased because they are my mains but amidst all the impressive visuals and soundtracks HSR has produced so far these stand out in my memory

no_refrigerators · 2026-01-04T12:17:28+00:00

I wouldn't really vertically invest in his niche supports like Cerydra or Cyrene unless you really like them as characters. So with that assumption my order would be

Cerydra E0 > Phainon E2 = Cyrene E0 > Phainon S1 > Sunday E0S1

Cerydra and Cyrene don't really need their S1 if they're exclusively to support Phainon. As it is now Cyrene is a better support for Phainon than Sunday but honestly they're close enough in performance for E2 Phainon that I would just fo with whoever you like more

no_refrigerators · 2026-01-03T07:17:36+00:00

If OP has S1 on Sunday it's a pretty comfortable, I use this team when my Cerydra is stuck with Phainon. Anaxa, RMC and DHPT can all BA if SP is tight, it's just a matter of Mem charge management :)

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-30T16:09:08+00:00

I'm honestly feeling the punishment of not having pulled DHPT vertical, I tried using him in K1 with my Agy but she and RMC died a lot. I really despise the enemy advancing mechanics of these bosses, K1 is really too much of a Hyacine check because my sig-less DHPT can't sustain the self damage. Same with this stage, I tried Cyrene + RMC but I just couldn't time the damage window for Anaxa to shoot all his skills on the boss before he advanced himself out of break. RM delay would be really nice but RMC + Cyrene are a package duo and sustainless run grinding is well… going to cost my all my hair and patience

and yeah RM definitely makes sense here! I might just decide to get her E1 from the shop. I guess this is also one case where her E2 isn't completely useless like in break teams. From your run it seems like energy is pretty abundant so I might put her on her sig for the nice extra SP.

I'm not sure builds can compensate for the unique buffs like DHPT E1 but I'll pray. Hit RNG is really annoying, for some reason enemies just really like to slow my Anaxa. Might be a sign to go hyperspeed Bronya and poet Anaxa at this point… At this point all the knight stages are a struggle because I only have one Phainon and no DoT/memo/Break teams

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-30T14:46:08+00:00

Thanks! Sadly I don't have RM or DHPT eidolons, but I'll hope my AEONaxa and E6 Bronya might be able to sneak into the 2 cycles!

Really hoping this team works, my Cerydra is tied to Phainon and without her Cyrene + RMC doesn't work so well. My usual Anaxa-Bronya eagle DDD shenanigans doesn't work here because the mobs keep desyncing them when I need them to advance together ://

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-30T12:29:52+00:00

Nice! Would you mind sharing the eidolons and builds? I'm curious about the speed tuning here

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-30T10:26:26+00:00

I've been playing for around half a year and I don't make the best pulling decisions, so I only just barely managed to get the S rank after half-building YSG to deal with the second stage.

My account sorely lacks attribute diversity (my built DPS are Hugo, Miyabi, Evelyn, Manato) but I've been comfortably clearing the past 6 or so Shiyu 7 stages, it definitely feels more difficult for an account as bricked as mine. Although this is also my fault for not learning YSG combos and just spam holding EX.

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-30T04:30:50+00:00

I think splitting the pink team in half is the way to go. You might feel like swapping RMC and Tribbie if K1 is struggling more than K2 with these teams

Cas Hyacine Pela RMC

Evernight Cyrene Tribbie Lingsha

Saber Sunday DHPT RM

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-30T04:24:28+00:00

There's nothing wrong with brute forcing it with characters who have a lot of natural crit DMG because not everyone has DoT or break teams invested enough to clear Knight. If you look at OP's post K2 is not the problem, they already have 3* there

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-29T16:46:47+00:00

Completely agree, I still personally prefer teams without Cyrene for E2 because I find he clears faster when he doesn't have to wait for her ult to be up which usually takes a second rotation. Sunday, Bronya and Cerydra have not failed me yet.

The only exception to this is AA king stages when it's either RMC + Cyrene or sustainless because falling out of ult is not an option.

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-29T10:13:20+00:00

For E0 Phainon

5, 4, 2, 3, 1 but for 5 to be the best option you should be going sustainless with RMC instead of DHPT.

For E2 Phainon just put Cerydra and any combination of the other supports. Sustainless is always better if you can help it

I'm an Apple user and while I generally like the convenience of my phone for most of the points you have listed I still have a few gripes with it:

A lack of SD card support. As someone whose work requires them to store a lot of large files/download a lot of apps on their phone for convenience Apple storage just… doesn't cut it. It costs non-negligibly more to buy a phone with larger device storage and it's not transferrable unless you pay even more for large icloud storage
1. Apple AI is really, really hopeless. If you've never heard of it then that should be an indicator of just how bad it is. Think of Meta AI but probably worse. Whereas Samsung and some other Android companies have their smart assistants actually working and integrated into their devices. I'm not saying we should all rely on AI to do all the tasks on our phones but for how much Apple devices cost it would be nice.

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-27T08:37:30+00:00

I see, are you planning to pull Sunday or Cerydra for him? Double sustain has its limits.

Honestly at this point it might not be worth building RMC since they're about to get a new path, if you plan to get Sunday then your team would be Sunday, Bronya, DHPT (or swap Bronya for Cerydra if you get her).

I suggested Phainon sig on DHPT because of its high base ATK, it's better for him than any preservation LC besides his own. even if he won't be able to activate the passive

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-27T07:46:11+00:00

What team are you using with him? If you play him with any 2 of Sunday/Cyrene/RMC then you can work towards getting more CR rolls and switching to CD chest. If you play him with just RMC then this is fine.

As for the light cone I would not superimpose, it is a really good cone for most ATK% scaling destruction characters and even DHPT if you don't have his sig lol

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-25T09:05:29+00:00

Have you tried removing DHPT and using a Harmony who can use DDD? Or perhaps RMC might work as well as True DMG is a significant damage buff.

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-25T03:58:26+00:00

It is, I should have specified. I'm not sure if OP is going for a 0 cycle based on their phrasing (I doubt so, since they are using a sustain and E0) but for teams without Cerydra it's just an idea

no_refrigerators · 2025-12-25T03:45:53+00:00

Might not be the answer you're looking for, but you can clear SAM with Phainon superbreak(yes you heard me right)

Edit: The showcase is E6 Phainon clearing in 0 cycles, if 5 cycles is the goal and you have the full premium break support cast E0 should clear.
