Right after that Heroic Archer Archer.
Phaenon Gameplay
Phaenon (Destruction: Physical) — the main DD, playing exclusively in hypercarry teams. During the battle, he accepts buffs from allies, accumulating levels of the "Flame Core". When their number reaches 12, he can activate the super ability, which creates a special territory in the arena. Only Phaenon himself can be in the created zone, other characters become inaccessible for moves, using skills and attacks of opponents. Activating the ult will impose physical vulnerability on all opponents, after which the hero will be able to inflict up to 8 crushing blows, causing colossal damage to all enemy targets.
Another special talent of the character is to increase the maximum number of skill points by 3 while he is in the squad. Thus, at the beginning of the battle, you will need to focus on applying as many buffs to the hero as possible in order to quickly put him into a strengthened state and launch the super ability.
Design of the exit from the created territory and return to the usual form:
Example of ing Memories of Chaos with a team of Linsha (Abundance: Fire):
Example of a squad with E2S1 Phaenon, Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary):
Archer Gameplay
Archer (Hunt: Quantum) — a sap-DD that independently strengthens itself by actively burning skill points. Capable of inflicting huge targeted damage on only one enemy target. After activating the superpower, it receives 2 levels of "Charge", which are spent on performing bonus attacks after allies' strikes.
ively increases the party's maximum skill points by 1, and also restores 1 point each time it performs a bonus attack.
The moment when a bonus attack is performed after an ally's turn:
Saber Gameplay
Saber (Destruction: Wind) — the main DD of the team, strengthening himself during the battle due to the number of super abilities activated by allies. For each ult used by other characters of the squad, he receives levels of "Core Resonance", actively replenishing Saber's energy and increasing her overall damage.
The girl has a set of effects that significantly increase her critical chance and damage after activating the skill. In battle, she relies heavily on energy - the heroine is able to continue accumulating it even after she has reached the maximum for performing a super ability.

Share your opinion about animations in comments. Which of the presented characters do you plan to knock out in the future update?
Phaenon has some really scary numbers. Is it because of the perfect gear on all characters on the beta, plus signals on everyone or what? Giving out up to 0+ million AoE damage in a turn of 5 cycles in one snout sounds like some kind of completely insane idiot.
This is an early beta or something like that, they will balance it a dozen more times. This happens with all characters, you shouldn't judge numbers and such based on pre-release info, it can change at any moment
But testers believe that Phaenon is currently weaker than Gerta and Kastoria. The thing is that after he loses his ult, all his damage literally dies, and it takes him too long to come back.
Well, with such a mech, he looks like a character who should cover everything in one "entry". Although if everything is cut off there... Although, in general, from the start it didn't look like he really takes a long time to charge. Many generally bang out cycles of 3-6+ turns on the room, and even if by some miracle he will enter his stance in 1.5-2+ turns - in the 2nd such approach he should smear everything that exists
In general, we'll see about the release, but for now it looks kind of wild. Simply because of the too large number of attacks with high damage. It seems like it will either be complete crap, or something on the verge (or not the verge) of being broken, if you gather a normal party for it
Initially I wanted to knock out only Arturia. But seeing the animations at the level of the initial versions of the game I decided to send it to hell, the same Archer will be more interesting in gameplay, not to mention Phaenon
>Phaenona
In the game ZZZ there is also something similar, only the phaeton is very similar to mgg
Now think about it
Bro never played XI3 😭🙏
I played it but quickly deleted it, I didn't like it
Well, that is, I didn't play
>Whose gameplay did you like the most?
I just don't like all this
Archer - yeah
Arturia - yes
Fae - some mgg from ZZZ
So Phaenon has nothing to do with mgg from zzz. He doesn't even look like him (he looks like Kevin from x3), much less in his abilities. I don't know where you got that from. And that name isn't his real name either.
And in general, how do you associate a meteorite and the end of the world with mgg from zzz, if you make such a review about the gameplay?
So far, there is almost no connection between these two games: xsr is a rethinking of x3 (many characters (+ ideas, designs) were transferred from there) Acheron-Raiden Mei, Locha and the Void Archive like Otto, Phaenon-Kevin, Armor and Wolf-Armor bunny, Zele, Himeko, Welt are straight from there, an analogue of Yae Sakura should appear. In zzz there is only the name Acheron (I haven't played it, but I heard that she was mentioned in ing in the Gashetka quest), a girl similar to Elysia, and theories about caverns as a manifestation of honkai. That's it! These games are almost not connected in any way, comparing Phaenon and Weisz is nonsense, the proxies are completely new characters
XSR is a sequel/spin-off, not a rethinking. ZZZ can be called a rethinking of XI3. And only Welt is straight from XI3. Himeko and Seely are the same expys as everyone else.
Well, I don't know. Zzz is similar to x3 only in gameplay, I can't even say that it's better, only the animations and effects are cooler. And there's no plot, and in x3 there is the peak of dramaturgy hoververse
I don't argue, the plot of XI3 is the best thing Hoyo has written. But from the combat side, I think that the developers planned ZZZ as a rethinking of XI3.
Well, Phaenon's animations are cool of course, but this is not an interesting character, so I don't plan to twist him as I did not plan and still do not plan to, there will still be many heroes and good animations in the future. You will only need to prepare a raincoat and an umbrella for his exit, otherwise during his exit, a huge number of waterfalls will pour down him, it will be even worse than with Sunday.
In what way is he not interesting? He hasn't even been revealed yet (there were banners of other characters, they had to sell them. And what's the point of not making a character with beautiful animations interesting? They will fight him until 3.6 or 3.7, he is the final boss of Amphoreus anyway), everything is going to the fact that he is the locked Emanator. And I don't think that in 3.X anyone will sur Phaenon's animations, in the end he is on a completely different level compared to all the existing characters.
Judging by the leak (not the most reliable, but I believe it) Cyrene will sur. After all, Elysia is one of the favorite daughters of Hoyo.
Don't you think that interesting and uninteresting can be considered in subjective opinion? What interests you is that you know Phaenon from another game where his prototype was the main character or just a cool super duper character, personally for me it's just an empty phrase because I don't know who Kevin is and I don't add him to Phaenon deliberately extolling the latter? The animations are beautiful, no doubt, but for me personally Phaenon as a character is not interesting at all, he's boring, for me it's just a bland anime hero with a polished model of a sugary boy that 15-year-old girls were crazy about and who wants to defeat everyone in the name of "justice", maybe in the future he will be revealed and my idea of him will turn 180 degrees and I will knock him out like it was with Midei, but that will be sometime in the future, and I'm writing a comment in the present, and in the present for me he is bland and uninteresting.
No, you just skipped dialogues. Or you're just used to regular gacha characters who immediately throw in their pathos, and not like Phaenon, who develops throughout the story, and not just flashbacks. What difference does it make whether Kevin is there or not, after 3.3 it's been a long time since we needed to talk about Phaenon. I don't know how he became a "sweet boy" for you. He's the most human character, he constantly refused the role of a hero, wanting to just avenge his comrades, lost Nikador's test, called himself an empty shell...
And you are stupid, since you dispute other people's opinions and interests. Don't be sad, there are plenty of people like you.
Not counting the collaboration, there are leaks that will be in the first half: Faenon, Sunday, Tribby, Iskorka.
Brutal Oh. I was still thinking whether to pull Gerta now, but I'll have to forget about everything and save up for e1 Tribby. The rest are just licking my lips(
P.S. What are the chances that e1 Tribbi will fall out of the top ten and will still remain with the signal on Sunday?))
I googled it and the probability is 0,6%
😉
Well, what kind of a sup DD is Archer? The purest DD. About the same as Qingque, only better. E-damage, E-more damage, E-even more damage. As soon as the ult appears, give it up. His bonus is only to regenerate for the E-. Signal is good, it's worth knocking out, but there's nothing important in it. E1 gives even more damage and ult regen, since the more E-s, the faster the ult is given up. In fact, he only needs Spark and that's it.
I'm waiting for Phaenon, the first guy in a long time, although I like Anax's vibe more, but Phaenon has great animations.
I don't know what characters he needs, but it doesn't matter, I can even give him Sparkle, I'm not a digital drone
He needs s that give a buff to only one person, not a mass one.
Well, that is, Sparkle?
I have Anax, I am very happy, and this double strike of his, mmm, even covers bosses who have immunity
Clarification to the team with Bronia, Sunday and the fox: There is Phaenon e0, and e2
Well, it's clear that 80% of the money allocated for 3.4 went to Phaenon's animations 😀
screw the Chinese and their conspiracy, just to spite them I'll twist the Phaenon
Read less about this, they made a news story out of nothing so that people like you could hate the Chinese and their alleged “conspiracy”
What kind of conspiracy is this?
Yes, a random screenshot went viral, where a couple of Chinese guys on a "dvach" analogue were discussing something there, and wanted to boycott Faenon, in short, they hyped up some no-names, and the particularly impressionable ones, like the commentator above, started to hate them.
I'm most interested in how dependent Faenon will be on the team (or rather independent), if it's like Kastoria, which is almost completely independent and will suit even those who only have epic characters, then that's good (yes, she can be significantly strengthened by Tribbi, Zhuanka and Hyacin, but she also plays very, very well with Pela, Galaher, and gg), but if Faenon needs some unique characters, so that without them he's not very good, then that's not much fun.
I'll take Faenonchik on rerun. It's just a dream, it's a pity the money will go to the catwife and Sunday after
And just 5 minutes ago I didn't like Phaenon. But sometimes 5 minutes change everything... Well, E2 for the Great can wait, since we have such a thing here...
Either Faenon will wrest the bat from GG, then Archer...😅
Looked:
Fenya is very pompous, but somehow even too pompous.
Shiro is cool, I especially liked the Eshka.
Saber eats something while idle, aaaah. :))))
I watched Phaenon's gameplay with my mouth open. It's awesome! The others are cool too, but they didn't have the same effect on me.
Subjectively, but honestly: the animations associated with Saber's mechanics turned out surprisingly flat. For a collaboration with such a loud, legendary name, this is, to put it mildly, unforgivable. Regular attacks, one basic skill, and a banal "enhanced" version after the ult, we've seen this somewhere before, right? Archer, for example, has it even simpler. No buffs, no freshness. One ult at the end.
The irony is that, for all its schematicness, at least Archer's animated positions look a little more charismatic and impressive than Saber's. It would seem that there should have been energy, style, a recognizable visual manifesto of the brand, but in the end everything is reduced to a simple cooking recipe. The characters of the collaboration are not visually annoying, but they are not pleasing either. No fire, no coal, no aesthetic challenge. Just... edible. But it should have been different, as it seems to me.
Phaenon is certainly gorgeous. I didn't want to knock him out at all, but with such animations I was simply baited into donating to his signature. Cyber wasn't particularly impressive, but Archer, on the contrary. Although at first it was Cyber that was more likeable out of the three
The animations are all gorgeous. But Archer's description is unclear - are they really talking about technique points, not skill points?
Yes, you are right, skill points) We will fix it now.
Now I began to doubt whether it was worth turning the Herta cons to the limit, or saving up for Phaenon...
After E2 I don’t see any point in spinning, the profit is not that much compared to the costs.
Well, I have it e0, I unscrewed the signal and I'm thinking now whether to unscrew the consts, or leave it until the next rerun, and now start saving up for Phaenon. I would like to have a 100% guarantee at least for him
Personally, I am still interested in the territory of Phaenon and the moves in it - are they counted as moves of the standard cycle or since it is a “territory”, then these 8 moves occur in their environment and only after leaving the ult are the cycles of moves considered?
It seems like the slivers wrote that these Phaenon moves spend action points in the illusion of the end, so they probably work like standard cycle moves.
eh, otherwise it would be too imbalanced, right? ))) Although the character and the whale are still wow "my respects", I will play e2, because at one time I started farming resources for Yunli, and in the end I skipped her.
Although I have now read his kit in more detail, and it says exactly “extra turns”, but in theory they happen instantly and do not waste a cycle.
Well, this is a completely different level. Several heads above most of the characters in XSR. I haven't been so pleased with animations for a long time, which probably took up Hoe's entire annual budget. Although Kevin probably couldn't have been made simpler.
I think the damage will also be through the roof, since there is a reserve for the emanator. Plus, Gisilena and the new form of Dani are expected, which will further strengthen it.
And for some reason it seems to me that he will be revealed from a completely different side in the plot later. Well, such a cutie can't destroy all living things with destruction... In general, I'm spinning with the signal 100%.
not Gisilens (she's for DoTers), but Keridra will be a for Phaenon
thank you Yes, Keridra, got a little mixed up)
Naaaah, of course, I was planning to knock out Phaenon anyway, but with SUCH animations, I'm starting to think about skipping the Cipher and knocking out the Phaenon signal.
The animations are beautiful, but I certainly won't be spinning these characters. In general, it's not bad, two patches of easy skips (3.3 and 3.4), the spins will come in handy for more interesting characters. I hope that the free Archer will be distributed by mail, so that the letter with it can be deleted immediately and not take away an unnecessary character.
You can't delete a letter with unreceived content.
There will be no one more interesting than Phaenon from Amphoraeus
Well, what a mug Archer has)) I wanted an ult, just like Acheron, Faceyao, but the one who got it was a snot-nosed brat. Well, okay, such an Archer will do. Spasalkin, of course, is expectedly mega-epic, but there is already Kratos.
Saber is somehow the most interesting, but I still skip the patch (finally, damn) entirely.
Don't say GOP until you jump over - there is no information yet on reruns and the event character of the second half.
Well, yes, if it’s one of the improved old men, then we’ll have to think about it.
Phaenon looks good, but I really don't like him in of the plot, simple, standard, without any zest. Let's see in general who will be in the next patches after him, if no meta is expected, then we can twist it, if any is at least a little more interesting, then I'm unlikely to be.
So his memories will return and he will become cold and unfeeling, ready to sacrifice the world to complete his mission. Or even become an emanation of destruction. In any case, they will manage to reveal him very well before his boss
The developers did a great job with Phaenon. ) I won't go into details, I don't like the plot, but the animations are great. Saber and Archer have a rather simple appearance for a 5*, I didn't like them.
What f***ing sloppy animations everyone has, I don't even know who to spin, my eyes run wild
