Is Phainon still BAD in 2026? | Apocalyptic Shadow: Starward Mode 4.6 | 4 Stars | HSR

Is Phainon really a bad pick in 2026? I’m taking him into the Hoolay fight at E0S1 in this Apocalyptic Shadow — Starward Mode 4.6 showcase. Silver Wolf LV.999 and Himeko • Nova are here too, each leading a separate team through the other two battles. Here’s who’s facing whom: • Kafka — Silver Wolf LV.999, E0S1 • Arbiter of the Lost Abyss — Himeko • Nova, E2S1 • Hoolay — Phainon, E0S1 Phainon is the one I want your thoughts on. After watching his fight, would you still give him a spot in your teams, or would you rather bring someone else? If you’re still playing him, let me know who you’re pairing him with. And between Silver Wolf, Himeko and Phainon, which run did you enjoy the most? If you enjoy these showcases, leave a like and subscribe for more Honkai: Star Rail endgame runs.
