lucifer :
i say this with all the love in my heart for phainon, and with no intentions of dictating how you should play the game, only as an advice you can take or ignore if u wish to do so as someone who's been clearing aa with phainon since AA was first released.
phainon is THE sustainless dps, having dhpt is fine but it greatly affects his performance, a triple harmony would do him better. (i have seen people use dhpt on him but with sunday and they give him the banana planar set, tho, i don't recommend it because phainon is already oversaturated with crit and atk buffs, that's why def ignore and dmg amplification buffs are better for him, even true dmg buffs are good, but it might help your phainon if u insist on using dhpt)
if u have cyrene and she's not E2, then you'll need a full chrysos heir team (rmc, cery, cyrene) and she NEEDS to have 200 spd, no exceptions on the 200 spd since your characters WILL die before she can get her ult without the 200 spd (and focus the action advances on cyrene first before phainon)
your characters also need to be fast and attack asap before the enemies hit (or minimize the attacks enemies can get in before u hit phainon ult), so either get them to 160 spd (or as close as possible, at the very least reach the spd breakpoint of 146, better if 156) OR put vonwacq on them (it will sacrifice some buffs they could give phainon, but you'll get coreflames faster that way and they'll take their turns earlier). this is already too long so yea. as i said, it's still up to you, it is ur account and ur phainon. 😁👍🏻
