Ranking Phainon’s Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail

4) Faces of Titans, Blurred by Time

Honkai Star Rail’s Phainon is already a potent DPS with his base kit. Hence, players can choose not to invest their resources in his Eidolons. They can especially skip the fourth Eidolon, as it offers four additional "Soulscorch" stacks when using Calamity: Soulscorch Edict. The stacks provide some extra damage but nothing significant.

3) Fire and Light Bind Virtue and Vice

Phainon’s first Eidolon in the game is accessible and offers an adequate buff to his overall kit. The passive increases the base SPD inheritance ratio for Khaslana's extra turn to 66%. For every enemy Phainon defeats in a battle, the ratio is additionally increased by 1.5% up to 84%.

The Eidolon also increases Khaslana's CRIT DMG for three turns, which will bring up his overall damage numbers during combat.

2) Embers of Old Rise Still

Unlocking Phainon’s final Eidolon will require a hefty amount of Stellar Jades, unless you are lucky with your summon. However, the upgrade is worthwhile, as it enhances the character's combat potential, giving access to True DMG, which ignores all forms of resistance in the game. He can unleash the offensive capability through his Foundation: Stardeath Verdict's ability.

Embers of Old Rise Still also removes the upper limit of his Coreflame’s overflow point, meaning he can store the charges required to activate his Ultimate. Speaking of which, Phainon will also gain six Coreflames at the beginning of the battle.

1) Sky and Earth Churn Mortal Froth

Sky and Earth Churn Mortal Froth is arguably the best Eidolon for Phainon, as it offers a crucial passive. He gets an extra turn when his Foundation: Stardeath Verdict consumes four Scourge points. To make it simpler, Phainon gets a bonus action after activating his Enhanced Skill, which deals massive damage to targets.

The second Eidolon further increases Khaslana's Physical RES PEN by 20%, meaning every attack he launches within the territory will be significantly powerful.
