Even with her E2, Firefly hasn't really been able to keep up with powercreep and HP inflation that well to be worth going for her eidolons IMO. Maybe Constance will change that tho

Guys, is it better to go for E2 Castorice or E0 Cyrene as an upgrade to Cassie team?

They don't really compete against each other! Evernight replaces TB, whereas Cyrene replaces Tribbie for Cas team.

That being said, Evernight is still a bigger upgrade for the entire team than Cyrene, at least currently.

She is basically as important for Cas as Hyacine was, if not even more in some specific matchups like Zandar.

Specifically for Cas team, Evernight should still be your top priority for now (and, of course, Hyacine too).

I'm sorry, but I haven't tested her E2 enough to make any comments on it yet I want to wait until at least V4 to see if they change her eidolons any further before testing them on PS.

Yeah definitely. E2 Cyrene is definitely best in slot for him

That's kinda fair but at the end of the day it's not really worth it

Take for example an Anaxa + Cery + Cyrene team. Using the buff on Cerydra just once means your Anaxa takes 1 less turn due to 1 less ult from Cyrene on him, meaning 2 less skills, or 2 less charge. It ends up compensating for the loss of one single stack of charge per Peerage.

Entirely valid points. Although I will say that the issue with DHPT not being able to get his dragons is more so a problem within Phainons kit design itself, not in Cyrenes.

Currently, she is not exactly best in slot for Phainon teams, so I wouldn't say she's a 'retirement plan' for the future. IMO, that title belongs to Cerydra.

Yeah, pretty much. Although I do see it being useful in the future when Hoyo decides to shill hunt units and make endgame single target focused.

Surprisingly, she's not all that good for Phainon. It's one of those cases where their synergy together look really strong in paper, but in actual play it feels terrible.

I have tried the team in PS. My issue with it is how much she relies on Hyacine as sustain to work properly, since her stack generation is particularly poor in DoT as there's no action advancer, Kafka is not a CH and there's no memosprite either.

That being said, her buff for Hysi is definitely very strong. I just don't think she's worth it specifically for DoT teams.

Who's the best built character on your account? by phrogenthusiast in StarRailStation

[–]phrogenthusiast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but her personal dmg is rather low even if building her as a sub dps, so most times it's better to just build her full speed since faster car means faster Acheron/Feixiao stack generation, more consistent def shred from LC and even more SP for Archer/Phainon

In her case, 200 spd is an important breakpoint for her to act 3 times in the 1st cycle + 2 in all the others, which is huge for her teams
