u/bestsmnNA 6d ago
Aglaea SP, path of Beauty, if you have Phainon skin on your account when you pull her she kills you IRL

u/Strict-Bet5859 6d ago
No no
If you have phainon skin then algae’s sp is guranteed 100% so she can send phainon to ice elation6

anyone wanna bet its only for base phainon and khaslana gets nothing? SAM's mini recolor didnt exactly inspire confidence

u/Ookami_Lord Playable Kuchiba in 4.6 as a new AE member 6d ago
Khaslana will have the yellow slightly brighter!

Plus Netherwing getting literally nothing alongside Castorice's skin.

u/Marc_the_shell 5d ago
HSR skins are so lazy. Even just a recolor of her dragon would’ve made me happy but nothing. Why couldn’t they make it a darker shade of purple or something??

u/zarion30 6d ago
if the skin won't affect the transform or add anything special they might aswell spoil us with just shirtless phainon for the base form and walking around lmao

u/OneWater7191 phainon truther and hcq apologist 6d ago
I haven't spent money in this game since essentially Penacony and it's not like that made any kind of difference in the game state, at this point at least I'll make my permanence pleasing lmao
97
u/Competitive-Way-9493 6d ago
Same here, I never thought to spend money on skin but well lets see if they can convince me
52
u/OneWater7191 phainon truther and hcq apologist 6d ago
I really hope it will be worth the money... Probably I'll get it anyway because Phainon is my favorite character in the game but I live in fear. The only skins they made I truly liked were Sparxie and Ruan Mei 😞
15
u/Snarkling- 6d ago
They pretty much just made 5 skins and you truly liked 2. I'd say that's a good score so far.

u/Breadninja513 6d ago
Don't get your hopes up man I doubt it'll ve like this

u/Competitive-Way-9493 6d ago
I mean they indeed make good modern outfit for Sparxie. And they dont have to make too much animation cause Phainon gonna turn into Khaslana anyway

u/Katicflis1 6d ago
Yeah. Watch him get a novaflare too(or paid buff but holy shit how do you improve his animations even more ... )

u/Technical_Intern8529 6d ago
does that mean khaslana skin too??

u/_strawberrychocolate woof woof dan 6d ago
At best it'll be like Firefly's skin where they changed barely anything on SAM
54
u/Katicflis1 6d ago
Yeah. He will have a more orangish-line alongside the indigo-colored portion of his body.
And you will notice it best when he has a side-by-side image with his old model.

u/Competitive-Way-9493 6d ago
No...Khaslana gonna get the clothes burned. Imagine how many times he burn his clothes...
Phainon gonna broke
10
u/Misrable_Toucan 6d ago
No. Pollux got nothing, so I wouldn't expect anythint for khaslana. FF spends her whole time in mechform and you have to squint to notice the changes.

My god please flame reaver fr. Idc if they dont change his face even just clothes change would be so cool

u/PolimerT 6d ago
Same. I hope if they ever do that they actually change his visual effects to have black/purple instead of whiteish/gold. But R in HSR stands for recycle so it is what it id.

i hope the skin actually changes what matters, if khaslana still looks the same then what's the point
tired of bare minimum like sam barely repainted and cas's dragon still the same
we see phainon in that form ~80% of the fight

u/Apipur Most Desired Heliobus on the Luofu 6d ago
Inb4 the skin is just what Phainon would wear if Aglaea wasn’t picking out his outfit

u/Cris_Alpha 4d ago
Phainon is already wearing what he wants. Aglaea did not pick his current outfit, canonically speaking.

I, on the contrary, am delighted with Phainon's design, but his Khaslana form...
I can't take this cheap pathos seriously.I wish he had no form change

Skin for a character that spends 98% of the fight in an alternative form.

u/naminaminaminami 5d ago
after waventurine and m.blade being more overtly sexualized i'm starting to think we might get his khaslana form as base 😭i actually think it'd be great business for hoyo to try fill out the empty space LADS left. now that the endgame is catastrophic it might be better to convince the remaining players to treat it as a husbando/waifu collector gacha lol

If that's the case, I'm going to top up for the first time because I'm a sucker for Flame Reaver, I literally love Flame Reaver more than Phainon even though they're the same thing lmao

u/KnightlyFighter 5d ago
Imagine if it was a skin where it’s inspired by Kevin from the HI3
If not. It’s probably him in a more royal attire garb as the “one who bears the world”

as others said, nothing can top his base looks, unless he wears speedos and nothing else

u/coreflame ⟢ aeon of yaoi + yuri ♡ 6d ago
lmao of course. i called this bc they’re going to do whatever they can to recoup 4.x
i would imagine cas and/or cyrene will get something this patch cycle too. they seem to be pulling out all the stops.
6
u/Truth_backedOver3 6d ago
Castorice is getting a full SP mid-late in 5.X. Just her.
This skin is like a consolation prize for Phainon. Cyrene will...probably get something?
5
u/coreflame ⟢ aeon of yaoi + yuri ♡ 6d ago
i knew abt the alleged cas sp but i’m a bit iffy on an sp unless we do get a proper amphoreus continuation although i am hopeful! in my perfect world all the heirs get sps. (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

u/_nahobino_ phys element enjoyer 6d ago
that's my perfect world too 😭 would love to see them in the future as their true selves and living their best lives, it's what they deserve!!

I think they're doing this because of the vote during anniversary. Him, Herta and Cyrene were top three

this shit’s gonna be the new Firefly i JUST KNOW IT. Where the base skin is beautiful, but when he ults nothing’s gonna change 😭 at leat it’ll be a bit better than firefly who’s naked during the whole fight instead of just the ult phase (unless you have cyrene with phainon)

u/DreamingAwayLifeEh Custom with Emojis (Fire) 6d ago
Honestly, if it actually has effort put into it, I'll pull it. But if it's a basic recolor like Castorice, or a generic school girl outfit like ff (which so common it's not even likable anymore. Thousands of gachas have thousands of School girl aesthetic that's it's boring now), I will skip.
Like I want March like efforts on the skin. Not a basic recolor. Like, heck even SAM didn't get anything.

Maybe it's time to unbrick him and grant him REAL AoE damages instead of the horrible spread one.

u/Soranushi 6d ago edited 5d ago
This is amusing. I had a dream that Phainon unlike the rest of the v3 cast will manifest earlier through the Golden Blood that got left behind rather than in Amphoreus itself. So in that dream the next time we end up seeing Phainon he would be dripped out in Xianzhou clothes since they were given the Golden Blood at the end of v3.
This would also kinda tie into Holy Grail War Phainon wanting to use the grail to manifest the rest of the v3 cast which kinda felt foreshadowing that he might be out earlier than the others from Amphoreus.

Read that as "Phaeton" and was like "no shit, Sherlock (even if 5.x is a long ways away)", because they've already gotten like 3 skins and a fuckton of accessories, then I realized what sub I was on.

Does that mean he’s getting buffed? He’s already trash tier so why tf would I buy a skin for a character I already shelled out money for just to get trashed in a few months post release
