V6 Adjustment Summary

V6 non adjustment

V4→V5

Base Stat Adjustments

• ATK: 543.312 → 582.12 ( ↑ )
• DEF: 727.65 → 703.395 ( ↓ )
• HP: 1474.704 → 1435.896 ( ↓ )

Eidolon Adjustments

• E1 (Major Buff): Khaslana’s Action Advance in extra turns now inherits 66% of base SPD (previously lower). For every enemy defeated in a single battle, this increases by 1.5%, up to a maximum of 84%. Upon using Ultimate, increases CRIT DMG by 50% for 3 turn(s).
• E2: Minor synergy enhancement with E1.

TL;DR Summary：Phainon Buffed!

• Base ATK increased by ≈40 points 
• E1 massively enhanced → Now her core Eidolon!
  (SPD scaling + stackable per-kill boost + Ultimate CRIT DMG buff)

V1→V4

V1→V2: Phainon name█████ → Khaslana 

V2→V4:

1.Enhanced survivability during transformation:  Max HP boost during transformation increased from 240% → 270%. 

2.Trace1 New effect:
At the start of battle, gain 1 point of [Ember].

Trace2 Damage increase :
Damage boost when healed or shielded by allies increased from 40% → 45%.

3.Eidolon 6 Completely reworked

Based on her skill set, Bai E’s performance is already quite strong at E0. For free-to-play players, pulling just E0 Bai E is perfectly fine. If you have some Stellar Jades to spare, going for E2 is a good option — and for whales, go as far as you like.

 

 

Basic Info：Nameless hero

「"I'm Phainon of Aedes Elysiae. Greetings. As fellow outlanders in Okhema, our meeting is surely fate's design. Come. Maybe we'll even have a chance to fight alongside each other in the future."」

Phainon is a 5-star Physical Destruction Path main DPS character, specializing in fast actions and frequent turns to deal damage. He has a unique Ultimate charging mechanic similar to Acheron and Castorice, where the charge rate depends on how many single-target buffs he receives.

Nameless hero Khaslana, the Chrysos Heir carrying the Coreflame of "Worldbearing", you must memorize the ideals of all worlds, carry the fate of multitudes, and bring the first light of dawn to the new world.

His secret text is: “Have you seen it? The dawn of Omphalos has arrived.”

His full story will be revealed in Version 3.4. Let’s wait and see together!

Phainon's Relic and Ornament

Ornament：

Dusky Dawn Cliff 2P Increases ATK by 12%. When the wearer takes action consecutively 2/3 times, increases their CRIT Rate by 12%/16% until the end of the current turn.

The upcoming Dusky Dawn Cliff from Version 3.4 is ornament prepared for Phainon.

Phainon already has many ATK-boosting effects in his own kit. With his Relic set and Ornament, his total ATK bonus can reach around 60%. If you also pair him with ATK support characters, the ATK boost will overflow and become less effective.

However, this Ornament helps fix Phainon’s low CRIT Rate. As long as Phainon uses his Ultimate once, the effect lasts for 8 turns, making it easy to fully stack the CRIT Rate bonus.

The main issue is that Phainon’s ATK is already very high, so he becomes heavily reliant on Sunday to make full use of his kit.

Relic：

Wavestrider Captain 2P 16% CRIT DMG bonus 。 4P When the wearer becomes the target of another ally target's ability, gains 1 stack of "Help" (Max→2) If there are 2 stack(s) of "Help" when the wearer uses their Ultimate, consumes all "Help" to increase the wearer's ATK by 48% for 1 turn(s).

Wavestrider Captain is a new Relic set coming in version 3.3.

According to leaks, if this Relic set is Phainon’s signature set, then Sunday is very likely to be Phainon’s main support character in the team.

 

Phainon’s Team Synergy

There are two main team comps for Phainon, and Team 1 is currently considered the most efficient.

Team 1: Phainon + Dan Heng SP + Cerydra + Sunday

Team 2: Phainon + Tribbie + Robin + Sunday

In Team 1, Phainon is the main DPS. Cerydra (coming in version 3.5) is expected to be the strongest single-target support based on current leaks. Sunday gives Action Advance and buffs to Dan Heng SP, and Dan Heng SP summons the little dragon for Phainon. The dragon’s stats scale from Dan Heng SP’s stats. At the same time, Dan Heng SP also fills the sustain role. This team synergy could be the strongest team after Castorice’s era.

However, since Dan Heng SP will only appear in version 3.6, it will take time to fully build Team 1. While waiting, Team 2 can likely be used right after testing starts. Trailblazers just need to prepare your tickets in advance.

 

 

Hidden Easter Egg?

It’s worth noting that when Phainon was teased, the official reveal deliberately hid 5 characters——Khaslana. He has the same surname as Kevin.

Some Trailblazers may not know who Kevin – the ​"savior hero"​ and leader of the ​Thirteen Knights of Ashen Moth​ from Honkai 3 and is known as the “Savior Hero.” He was the strongest human warrior in the previous civilization. This background is very similar to Phainon’s.

Also, key terms like “Flame-Chaser” and “Savior” are closely connected to Kevin. Because of this, many players believe Phainon might be Kevin’s counterpart in HSR.

In the poster, there’s even a figure standing behind Phainon, which some think could be Kevin.

Of course, all of this is just speculation based on current info. Trailblazers can look forward to more official news soon!
