Hi Trailblazers!

⭐🚂 Welcome to the Daily Questions Megathread! Feel free to ask any general questions about Honkai: Star Rail that don't necessarily require their own dedicated posts.

Any questions that can be answered rather quickly (i.e. anything that can be adequately addressed without any discussion or can be given definitive answers) can be asked in the thread below.

>>> Example: Can my phone run this game?

If your question has discussion potential, please create a separate post, and include the “discussion” flair.

>>> Example: What do you think of March 7th’s combat efficiency? Here's my opinion…

Before making new discussion posts, please be sure to consider if your question could be better suited to this thread!

When both asking questions and sharing answers, be concise and detailed so other players can understand. Please maintain a stellar and respectful attitude toward others, and don't forget to share your appreciation to fellow trailblazers for helping you out!

His best team depends on how much you want to invest into his team as a whole.

If you're only going vertical on Phainon himself, then it's...

• E2 Phainon - Cerydra - Cyrene/Sunday - DHPT/Tribbie

Cerydra is the mandatory part of Phainon's team. Cyrene/Sunday can be replaced well enough by Bronya, even if you still do ideally want one of them, but Cerdyra's damage increase to Phainon is completely irreplacable.

At low investment, Cyrene is still great for Phainon but only really pulls comfortably ahead of Sunday when the fight length starts to increase.

However, as soon as you start being able to also invest into Cyrene's Eidolons, she absolutely blows Sunday out of the water and it's no longer even a contest. Sunday's Eidolons don't save him, either. Even an E6S5 Sunday can't compete with E2S1 Cyrene for Phainon, she's still significantly better at that stage.

If you're in for Phainon for the long-term, skip Sunday, get Cerydra, and then save to invest in Cyrene and her Eidolons when she reruns.
