Phainon technique
Instantly kill every enemy in its radius (Firefly's AoE +Acheron instant kill)

Via atri

Phainon is physical distruction, just wait for the drip marketing
The animations are OK, in my opinion. They contain some Kephale-related elements, as well as some feathers and similar elements.
The attacks mainly involve slashing with the sword.


There should be at least 7 different actions during combat, maybe there will only be more, not fewer for sure.
The overall design leans toward being very imposing and powerful, wielding the "flame reaver's Sword."
The normal stance is the normal model we've seen so far but with the flame reaver sword.
After activating the ultimate, phainon will transforms into XXX, and during this stance, a completely new set of skills will be unlocked .

Oh well atp

Some lore infos, not too many spoilers, it's better to experience it first handedly
Phainon's Role as the “Deliverer”:
- “Phainon's current portrayal only reflects a fragment of his journey. His worthiness of the ‘Deliverer’ title will become unequivocally clear as his arc unfolds.”

Protagonist’s Centrality:
- “Allegations of Phainon overshadowing the protagonist are unfounded. Both Phainon and Cyrene recognize the protagonist’s irreplaceable significance in Amphoreus. Rest assured, the narrative firmly centers on the player's role.”

Kevin Parallels & Identity Speculation:
- “While Phainon shares superficial traits with Kevin, their experiences diverge drastically. Phainon currently embodies a ‘Greek Kevin’ phase (youthful idealism), whereas the Flame Reaver mirrors Kevin’s *mature worldview*. The question ‘Is Phainon the Flame Reaver?’ defies a binary answer — it’s a narrative paradox best experienced firsthand.”

You can choose not to buff a character and keep their old kit.

Once again, these characters will go through beta testing like anyone else, everything is heavily STC

Also, Sparkle SP should be just the one that was shown in her myriad celestial trailer, this info itself is a year old and it regards a character that should be coming in 4.X, heavily STC as well

Via Luna

[...] The reason is that Phainon's skill set is way too unique—it has so many unconventional mechanics compared to other characters. The sheer novelty is on par with 2.0’s Acheron[...]

The kit will be leaked in ~ 1 week, too much hype around it

About Phainon’s skill

Take reference from Mavuika’s Charged Attack: swap the ring effect to golden and enlarge it significantly.

Additionally, Phainon has broken through the core programming - after activating his Ultimate, the enhanced state will display three simultaneous skill buttons: Q, E, X.
