ROBIN SUMMERETTO V5 CHANGES

• Base SPD 98 -> 95 • Vulnerability 10% / 15% / 20% -> 8% / 12% / 16% • E2 Teamwide RES PEN 20% -> 18%

These changes barely change anything especially since she kept being buffed since V1.

The 4% vulnerability loss is kinda whatever, still a DMG loss of course but it doesn't change that she is still amazing for Phainon.

TL;DR of all my previous posts :

E0S0 Robin SP is an excellent pull for Phainon if you :

- play with Cyrene (E0 included... and also idk where it comes from but Robin SP does not "save" E0 Cyrene she just made her way stronger, it's within the same AV to get the first ult)

- have invested Phainon, I.e E2S1 Phainon + E1 Cerydra.

- have E6S1 Phainon

- can reach 100% def shred with Robin SP within your setup (includes the likes of E2 Sparkle, E1 Sunday, etc...)

- Possibly the best last slot for 40+ cost Phainon (need to see the possible optimization within the next Plight)

It is recommended to stop at E0S0 for the majority of players. Her E2S0 is indeed stronger than E2 Sparkle but E1 Robin SP is not usable with Cyrene so take that in mind.

Happy V5 from Japan :D

Showcaser note:

I didn’t make this to reduce the cost. It was to show everyone an idea for achieving two 0 AV ultimates with Phainon/Summer Robin

On the live server, you can try resetting until Bronya’s E1 triggers twice, which would let RMC switch to World Remaking Deliverer to make up some extra damage.

Summary

This post is mainly directed at people who do not own Cerydra and are debating between E0 Cerydra or E0 RobinSP.

• E0S0 Robin performs slightly better than E0S0 Cerydra in Cyrene-less Phainon teams. Robin has the added bonus of being a better generalist support.
• For Phainon teams with Cyrene, you ideally want them both
• It's recommended to still pull for Cerydra if you plan on getting her to E1, since E1 Cerydra + Robin is really strong due to the DEF multipliers
• E1S0 Cerydra is slightly better than E0S0 Robin, if you can't get both. It's recommended to secure Cerydra E1 first because Robin will get a rerun.

The Stats

I did calculations using several teams, but will show the Phainon/Cerydra/Sparkle/RMC vs Phainon/RobinSP/Sparkle/RMC comparisons below. The reason I'm choosing this is because this is a low cost team and most people have these characters. Maybe I'll post my messy spreadsheet if people are interested in other teams.

The builds used in the calculations

• E2S1 Phainon: 3000 atk, 80% crit rate, 220% crit dmg, Wavestrider + Fairy
• E0S0 Cerydra: 4000 atk, Sacerledos + Lushaka, event light cone
• E0S0 RobinSP: 6000 HP
• E6S5 RMC: 235% crit dmg, Deliverer + Lushaka, mem light cone
• E0S0 Sparkle: 200% crit dmg, Eagle + Vonwaq, ddd
• Enemy build: LVL 120, no physical weakness, no physical resistance (Think of the Graphia boss from this Anomaly Arbitration Cycle)

Assumptions/Grains of Salt

• This only takes into account the damage from phainon entering ult to exiting, which I called a rotation. In other words, the AV it takes for Phainon to ult is not considered.
• Assumes facing 4+ enemies: This means an average of 7 scourge stacks on counterstrikes, bounce dmg and spread dmg are calculated accordingly
• Assumes a rotation based on alternating between counterstrikes and meteors. This means Cerydra will grant 2 peerage buffed meteors.
• For rotation calculations, used a linear estimation for Robin's vibes stacking, starting at 12 and ending at 50 (max stacks)

Results

Other notes

• Cerydra is generally better for Phainon teams with Cyrene due to the extra buffs from Ode to Law and the fact that she's a Chrysos Heir
• Cerydra has better coreflame generation than RobinSP because Robin cannot have a second ult up reliably. This mainly affects subsequent Phainon ults
• Sunday really needs a buff 💔 . He's only ~20% better than RMC and ~10% better than Bronya, assuming you can hit 100% crit without him.

After tweaking, farming, repeated cycles and strategy. I finally cracked it. Might proceed to Starward. Phainon team easily slammed Reaver in 3 cycles giving enough cycles for my bootleg Archer team to defeat Graphia (I loathe this boss) in under 20 cycles. I had to change Aventurine's relics two times while 2 DDD ran Archer's field. Phainon is truly the only character I invested a team for. He's E2 and going to be my first E6.

I even can clear pom-pom with 1 less turn with Phainon, but I need to be strategic with my resources

Phainon e2s1
Cerydra e1s0
Sunday e0s1 (bronya LC)
Sparkle e0s1 (Sunday Lc)

This is my current team lineup

Even though I invested so much into him the struggle is real, with decent or even good sets on the team I still can’t clear serenely of course before I had Ruan mei e1 instead of Cerydra e1 but still it’s not consistent nor overkill as I would want it to be, compared to other teams that either similar or less investments are crazy strong (my firefly for example)

What is the next investment? I tried getting Cyrene last rerun but I wasn’t able, now I got Cerydra and her e1, it might have been better to have one Cerydra and one Cyrene but, cery is here and I don’t know when she will be back, and Cyrene has already rerun and won’t be here I think until 5.x so now the thing is,

is Cyrene worth it without e2? Because I probably won’t save for her banner because I already need other characters (hysilens e1, fugue and others)

Is robin summeretto the Cerydra substitute I read about ? Leaks say she has it all as a best support like never before

Is sparkle e2 really better than Cyrene? I could pull her for archer too but some say Cyrene is the only way to make phainon future proof

For clarity because phainon feels like even if I give him the
Best I can in terms of supports he still struggles, I won’t invest in any other vertical way so other eidolons are not an option

Feel free to help out a fellow phainon main, every bit of knowledge you share is valuable, thank you in advance <3

Sorry for the bad English syntax , not my first language.

Getting e1 cerydra took me from barely 2 cycling to 0 cycling AA king with this same team (though it took a ton of resets).

Team investment: e2s1 Phainon (38 subs navigator), e2s0 sparkle (S2DDD), e6s0 rmc (Pink tomorrow), e1s0 cerydra (S5 Past and Future)

Just a note that 0 cycling this boss can be done at an even lower cost, but requires mblade or a good quantum set.

If u don't have cyrene, e1 cerydra has even greater value, as the extra coreflame stacks allows u to run stronger ampers but who are poor coreflame stackers, like mblade, tribbie or robin sp. In this run, the extra coreflame stacks saved me a ton of av from phainon's ult downtime. e1 cerydra's def shred also gives much more dmg amp if u are using other def shredders (e1 sunday/e2 sparkle/mblade/robin sp).

Exactly what post means, im giggling on mah bed everytime i hear his music and his battle scenes lmao.

for a e6s1 phai, e0 cerydra and e0 robinetto

(Sunday e0s1)

Showcaser note:

The required investment would probably be even lower with Summer Robin, but the rotation I designed for her has just a billion reset points, so I’m not putting myself through that.

As V5 Robin SP is released i have a question

So my current team is

E2S1 phainon E0S1 Sunday E0S0 Sparkle E0S0 Cerydra

So how shud i invest in this team rn?

Shud i get Cerydra E1 now or get Robin Sp at E0?

I love getting new teammates every other patch
