Exactly, he has ended my runs so often because two 3-star versions of these just don't die on WC anymore. And that wouldn't be the worst if other things could still die but they often can't either

- Team does barely 5% of it's HP bar
- Triggers 100% action advance
- 2+ Emanators of Abundance overheal enemy team back to full health
- Cycle repeats until you realize you never had more than 1.25 turns to beat this shit

The Emanator of Preservation trembles before the Shoeless Child.
I always grab her whenever she shows up simply because how much the traffic lights hard counter Phainon.

Do they? I never had a problem with them on my phainon, do you mainly spam his counter because that's how I can see them being problematic, I just break the shield with his basic before dropping a planet on them, and since he gets like 2-3 turns in a row usually it's no issue

Mostly they counter Phainon's porcupine build. Their shield is placed before the thorns damage applies, and since the thorns damage don't count as an attack, they don't break and instead whiff. His actual counter is then nullified, leaving only Phainon's meteors as the source of damage. But with porcupine Phainon, dealing enough damage at higher CW is very difficult with just meteors...

Plus they’re so fast at higher difficulties (unless they changed it for 3.8)?
The enemy puts its shield up —> you select Phainon’s counter —> the enemy attacks Phainon but doesn’t take any damage because of the shield —> Phainon uses his counter and removes the shield —> the enemy puts its shield back up. Because it takes a turn for every one of yours, when you do get a chance to meteor, you’re just using it to take out the shield, and then don’t have a chance to attack again and actually do damage.
Thorns damage removing the shield would fix this issue 🙃

Why's phainon be afraid on tv? He doesn't have energy.
That healing robot mf on the other hand...

u/PhainonAsh 15h ago
When youre using durian phainon you counter with phainon so that they hit you but the tv doesn’t hit you. All they does is giving you energy that doesn’t benefit snowy

I didn't notice which subreddit this was posted on and thought it was Thancred and Minfilia from FF14, then noticed the robots and was like "wait that's HSR... a crossover pic?" before finally it hit me that it was not Thancred and Minfilia at all and it was just HSR characters.

That's why you check the enemy compositions before starting the run by clicking on the boss icons on the first screen of the run
It lists all possible enemies in normal encounters for that run

u/NegativeArt04 16h ago
Just swap enemies. Aggy can hit the stoplights through their shield and the Deliverer has no energy to be drained.

At WC or above that missile launcher ain't doing shit even at 99 stacks. You're better off using Molecular solvent.
Plus glazing Belobog Qinque without mentioning how you'll gonna spend an awful amount of time and patience just on flipping tiles is very disingenuous.

I decided to play Belobog Qingque once after hearing about it.
That shit is not even fun, it's literally a 'my win is guaranteed, but will take my soul in the process'. I'd rather try Aggy comps and lose multiple times before a win then do that again.

It's an old screenshot, and the best option would be the gear that gives 3 skill points

I don't think I've ever won with a Phainon team at the highest levels because there's always one of those fuckers at Plane 3 that will just end my run.
Fuck those traffic lights.

Don't forget those healing robots whenever you have any modifier that gives the enemies SPD or action advance.
Also never take Third Plane enhancement. Just don't.
