  3. Wake-y wake-y, you bunch of hypocrites!
    Where are all those who supposedly care about the health of the game and so on when Castorice fiasco went down, huh? All of you now quiet and even *glug glug* all of this down. Because Castorice and her garbage tier passive totally breaks the game more than a unit with basically infinite turns, 1.7 million average damage per its turn (have I mentioned he basically got lot of those for free?), and immortality while he keeps pummeling everything down in front of him. I sure love when I can just hit auto because there is 0 strategy involved whatsoever with this guy. Get him to ult and all problems of turn-based game go away. Wait for a turn? It’s always his turn. Danger of dying? Doesn’t exist. Damage? Does more than anyone ever before him, and all in single ult.

    Acheron? Firefly? Castorice herself? Funny how certain crowd only appears when it’s a female unit who supposedly breaks the game, yet the same crowd now glazes, cheers and screams for more buffs (because he is totally weak as of now am I right) for a unit that will far more send balance of this game to hell than any of these units I previously mentioned.

    • dude, chill, it’s just damage
      what looks like broken right now will be just “okay” 2-3 patches later
      also, it’s not “always his turn”, his other form has actual speed, that’s not even that high, and enemies do get to act in between attacks.
      but even without that, his only broken feature is his damage, and damage is the thing that gets obsolete really fast in this game

    • he’ll get nerfed in subsequent versions as per usual, also a character with high scalings doesn’t break the game in a way that’s new at all, usually everyone expects powercreep and as always you can just not pull if you feel a character makes the game too easy because this game hasn’t been hard since break units dropped!!

    • It’s not even about gender or cas’ kit but her global passive setting a precedent. The playerbase basically gave Hoyo the ok to release future characters with possibly better global passives(like increased damage or energy w/e even when not in a team) based on cas and anniversary revenue.

      Idk who is asking for a buff for this guy when we’re already seeing 1000%+ multipliers and 100% increased atk on ult, but power creep sells I guess. Yes, old characters are getting buffed which is nice, only takes 6 months to adjust their numbers and rework their kit a little bit.

  4. The second part of his A4 says: when reciving energyregeneration effekts gain 1 Coreflame
    Question1.:Does that mean when Sunday/Tingyun using Ult on Phainon, he gains 2 Coreflames (1 from his talent and 1 from Energie reg.)
    Question2.:When yes does the E2 from Tingyun also count
    (E2 Tingyun: when an Ally with benediction[tingyun skill] kills an enemy that ally regenerates 5 energy)
    So in short does he gain 3 Coreflames when he kills an enemy with his normal skill( 2 from his skill and 1 from Energy reg.)and 1Coreflame when he kills an enemy with his normal basic atk.

    • I’ve seen a clip and yes, sunday/tingyun will give him 2 coreflames if they ult on him. As for tingyun’s E2, i don’t think it works since the ally with benediction regenerates the energy for themself rather when they get a kill rather than receiving it from an ally.

  6. dumbed down explanation:
    he’s a typical destruction unit that deals mostly adjacent damage but also tons of aoe damage.

    core gameplay is stacking his passive of coreflames (up to 12 times) before he can activate his ultimate to transform and launch a territory field (similar to acheron) where only he and the enemies are present in order to give them a beating before he the field cancels itself eventually.

    ways to gain coreflames is either:
    usage of skill = 2 coreflames
    gets buffed by allies or targeted by enemies = 1 coreflame
    ally ability provides energy (such as sunday and houhou ultimates) = 1 coreflame (enemies that regenerate your energy do not apply)
    end of transformation = 3 coreflames (ascension passive)
    talent passive = 3 coreflames (similarly to acheron, he can store 3 coreflames after reaching the max amount of 12)

    if we do the math: minimum of 10 coreflames can be obtained in just a singular round/turn (requiring 2 more coreflames to activate ult again)

    what dmg multiplier will he gain from the most: enemy dmg vulnerability (such as pela and tribbie) because he has decent atk% and dmg% buffs from himself and allies included. only his lightcone introduce a def% ignore which is pretty small by itself.

    orb main stat: atk% and phys dmg% might be equal actually. his scalings would encourage atk% orb but also he has built in atk% bonus so that might not be necessary. would recommend whichever has the best substats because they should be similarly good on him.

    best teammate: sunday (1 turn would potentially give phainon 3 coreflames: skill=1 (buff), ultimate=2 (buff + energy)
    substitutes for sunday: tingyun and houhou also give 3 coreflames in 1 turn.
    future speculated additional best teammate: dan heng new 5* form

    • Unlikely. What great versatility gives, trades off absolutely power. CN community will rant a lot if he gets both perks. Given how the kit is settled, the latter will fall slightly behind Castorice. Just wait till V5 we’ll see the multipliers progressively go down for balancing reasons.

      • here another Midcheron copers- don’t even compare
        Phai’s performance will not decrease drastically in single target situations
        he’s also not tied to mid support unit like npc fox and benefitting more from single target buffer (not necessarily Harmony too) in the game than every other chars which is any other Hypercarry unit including Midcheron herself can only wish, so he will just getting better every time from upcoming strong buffer thus his potential is high.
