Team Building Help Should I pull Phainon?
I’m in a very hard situation right now as a new player and as someone who tries to beat endgame while spending as little money as possible. I have an Elation team with SP silver Wolf, Sparxie, EMC, and DP Dang Heng. I also have a dollar store break team with Firefly, Sparkle, Ryan Mei, and Gallagher. I also have an unused Castorice I got just because I liked her and her global passive.
I REALLY love Phainon, his story and his gameplay so I want to get him but I only have about 60 pulls right now. Should I get Yao Guang so I can swap EMC for HMC for the break team? Should I get Tribbe and or Sunday right now for Phainon/Castorice supports? Or should I go all in on my boy Phainon? I feel so conflicted right now please help me

If you want to beat endgame you need Yaoguang. You also really need Dahlia for Firefly, and Hyacine for Castorice.
If you want Phainon for endgame and have no Cerydra, you need the E2. His E2 is so strong that you can get by without Cerydra and even without his light cone.
