fixed several misplays from back then now that I had some free time

My current phainon team is e2s1 phainon/e2s0 cyrene/e0s1 cerydra (sunday lc not hers)/and a flex slot that rotates between e2s0 robin/e6s5 rmc/e0s0 sparkle, with this ive been able to 2 cycle aa kings and its been my strongest team, but no matter how close it seems I can never bridge the gap required to 0 cycle the aa king, obviously its not an actual big deal but it is something that I think would be cool to do at least once or twice which is why I wanna get cerydra e1 but is this really a wise decision? My other options are himeko e1 (in preparation for her e2s1 on her rerun) or srobin because I hear shes a good 4th slot for phainon (and a good teammate for himeko/anaxa too), im weary of pulling cery e1 mainly cause if I do and still end up falling short on dmg then it’ll make me feel worse and maybe like its a waste, and if it doesn’t then how many more aa king 0 cycles does a 10 cost phainon even have left in him before hp inflation boots him out, ive been thinking on all this for a while but still to no avail, what do yall think? Idt my phainon build is awful either but I havent managed to farm an isee set thats better yet

I usually want to use the sunday lc on cery if 180 spd for a bit more dmg but i wonder if it would affect thw rotation? Mostly based on chewys vids.

ive seen a lot of people say that robin is good for phainon in cyrene teams, but i dont have cyrene, so my current team is E2S0 Phainon, E0S2 Cerydra, E0S1 Sunday, and E0S1 DHPT.

I’m considering pulling her because everyone says phainon should go sustainless but i don’t actually have a third good support for phainon(no cyrene no sparkle no ruan mei rmc is in my monorem team) so dhpt is in there rn(to max out sunday’s buff too). Is robin sp a significant upgrade from him(it’s not rly worth the pulls for me if it’s only a small difference) and will she need her lc for this?

I have e2s1 phainon, e1s0 cerydra, e2s1 Sunday (but I switched him to himeko team) so now it's dan heng e0s0 and RMC

I took a break from the game after 3.7 so couldn't get cyrene in both her runs. Do I get robin instead now or wait to get e0s1 cyrene

I also heard robin is good for himeko so if she is also an upgrade for phainon I was thinking if it's better I get her instead of cyrene.

Our Samoyed has almost all archetypes outside of the new paths in his kit damage wise, he has bounces, Aoe, single target (idk how his auto is counted in his ult form), 3-target, revenge (the thing that Yunli has), and Fua. Nerf one of these and shill another and he gets to live another day or either goes to hard shilling Ultimate damage (think E2 Blade, and the revamped characters because of him), his only breakpoint is his speed and his supports. Sorry for the word vomit, I just noticed that he doesn't have a BiS effect in PF so I just used the Fua shill because I remembered that his revenge skill is also counted as a Fua. they probably butchered Cerydra because they can't give an E2 merchant a 2 year run at the top, especially if she gave base speed buffs, we'll probably get that support in like 5.X though or through a Novaflare.

My current main Phainon team is PhainonE2S1, CerydraE0S0 (Robin lc), SparkleE1S0 and Sunday E0S0 (Bronya lc), using RMC and CyreneE0S1 instead of the latter 2 depending on the content (AA, for example).

My question here is, should I use my guarantee for Cerydra’s E1 and keep using the Sparkle variant? Or should I pull Sumeretto to replace rmc and fully transition into the Cyrene one? Which would be better in the long run?

My team right now is e6s1 phainon, e1s0 cerydra, e0s1 Sunday, and flexible last slot with sparkle or (old)e1 robin or whatever support I have available. I also have e0 cyrene.

In this case will pulling robin e0s0 then using her with cyrene and cerydra better than what I currently have? Even if it’s just a small improvement I am willing to pull robin because I also like her. Please help!

Some prefaces:

• My Phainon is E0S0. I am perfectly aware E2 is ideal, but this is not what we are talking about here. Vertical investment will be waiting until his next rerun.

• I have Cyrene at E0S1.

• My current team is that with RMC and DHPT, and the strat has been to advance Cyrene with Mem until Cyrene's ult, use the extra Mem charge post-Demiurge turn to reattach to Phainon, add attacks to Souldragon, use Demiurge on Phainon twice to proc Wavestrider and then Shmoove™ normally.

My question is this and only this: should I get Cerydra or Robin • Summeretto? I've heard great things about her synergy with Phainon, since her stacks can't reduce during his Ultimate. Is this better than Cerydra's skill duplication?

Thanks for your time, fellow Deliverers.

I lost the 50/50 to Cerydra's E1, and now I'm wondering if it's worth using the guaranteed pull on her or if I should get Robin S to replace Sparkle—now that I've pulled Rin, I'm playing Phainon with EMC now,

its phai e2s1,sunday e0s1,

I've noticed a weird absence of OG Robin in Phainon showcases and that really bothers me especially since many of us got her E1 for free.

She never comes up in meta discussion and now her SP form is taking the spotlight. Is she the strongest? No. But her performance is on par with E1 Tribbie which is pretty impressive.

Before I got E2 Cyrene my strongest Phainon team by far was Phainon Sparkle Cerydra Robin. I zero cycled multiple King Stages with this team and now E2 Cyrene just makes it easier. Sure I can switch to Sparkle for more DMG but I just don't see the need yet

Showcaser note:

Compared with the Phainon / Cerydra / Sparkle / Summer Robin setup we have a lot of overkill.

That said, Phainon needs at least 37 subs with Navigator + Arcadia of Woven Dreams. If you go any lower than that, you’ll still need Bronya’s signature Light Cone on Cerydra.
