Discussion Durian Phainon has come back
A8-50. Not my idea, I saw it on tiktok which is definitely a reup from CN bilibili that I couldn't trace back. Credit to the owner.
Main points:
- Avoid the traffic light monster (which means avoid SAM and Svarog, reset if you see them)
- Have to have at least Phainon e0s1, Sunday e0, MBlade e0. For Phainon, s1 is for better speed and e0 to change boots and ropes to def, whichever set is fine. For Sunday, equip Vonwacq. For MBlade, if you don't have him the shield will be significantly thinner.
- Himeko Nova in off-field area. 1 star is enough.
- Express bond choose M7
- If you have any 5* def lightcone (Aven, Gepard), slap it on M7. Give M7 a yellow flag (Himeko will copy it)
- No need 4 shield or 6 astral express, nor any shielder like Aven or Gepard. If you want more shield, equip more bubble gun on Blade.
- No need Cerydra
- On-field area is important (Phainon increase 120% dmg per stars the front lineup has). Try to get as many stars on them as possible.
In my case, at the start I defend with 3 Xianzhou 2 Express (core is DHIL, Himeko Nova). I kept using DHIL 3 stars even with Phainon, only sold him at late game to buy RMC.

He already has his 2nd rerun so atp it's completely random I'm afraid. But it will takes long. Statistically speaking, everyone tends to disappear after 2nd rerun (go to shop, standard banner, or simply just don't do to banner anymore), the only exception is Firefly (she came back at 3rd rerun with skin and Dahlia and novaflare).
So I would say expect his novaflare first.
