Honkai Star Rail Phainon teams guide: Best F2P and premium team comps

The best Phainon teams in Honkai Star Rail should generally consist of characters who can help him gain Coreflame Stacks easily. He can gain these by being the target of any ally skills, when enemies attack him, or when he uses his skills. This makes his team quite flexible, with you being able to run two Harmony support characters alongside him.

This article will cover the best Phainon team setups as of Honkai Star Rail version 3.4.

Best Phainon teams in Honkai Star Rail

1) Bronya+Phainon+Sunday+Cipher

Phainon in Honkai Star Rail needs allies who can help him gain Coreflame Stacks so that he can enter his Ultimate fast. The two best supports for him currently are Bronya and Sunday. Both function similarly, as they target a single ally, amplifying their damage, Crit values, and attack.

Bronya and Sunday can also grant a 100 percent action forward, speeding up Phainon's speed and allowing him to use his skill to gain stacks. Cipher is recommended for the fourth slot as she is one of the best sub-DPS in the game. She can also debuff enemies, allowing Phainon to deal even more damage. If needed, you can also use Sunday's ultimate on Cipher to buff her.

2) Phainon+Sunday/Bronya+Remembrance Trailblazer+Cipher

This team will function similarly to the last one, albeit with a few differences. If you lack Bronya or Sunday, you can use Remembrance Trailblazer instead. The main character can add True Damage buff to Phainon, increasing his offensive abilities. Mem (Trailblazer's memosprite) can also action forward Phainon by targeting him, which will grant him Coreflame Stacks.

Sunday or Bronya will act as the other enabler, buffing Phainon's damage further and giving him more Coreflame Stacks. Cipher's potential as a debuffer and a secondary DPS makes her a candidate for the team's fourth slot.

3) Phainon+Robin+Sunday+Sparkle

This Phainon team in Honkai Star Rail consists of three Harmony characters. Sunday and Sparkle are the core of this squad, buffing Phainon's damage and Crit Values, making his attacks stronger. These characters can also grant him action forward, allowing him to move faster. Sparkle also allows you to recover skill points, but you will rarely run out of them.

Robin can grant the entire party damage and Crit buffs. She also speeds up the rotation with her Ultimate, using which she can grant the entire team an action forward.

4) Phainon+Luocha+Tingyun+Remembrance Trailblazer

For F2P players looking for a Phainon team in Honkai Star Rail, your best bet is to pair him up with Tingyun and Remembrance Trailblazer. For the healer slot, Gallagher works the best as he has a single-target healing ability on his skill that you can use to target Phainon. He can also debuff enemies to take more damage.

Tingyun has a single-target skill and an Ultimate that can buff her target's damage. Remembrance Trailblazer can grant True Damage buffs, and their entire kit, including Eidolons, can be obtained for free.

More Phainon teams will be available as HoYoverse releases more characters catered towards him in Honkai Star Rail in the future.
