Honkai: Stail Rail – Version 3.4: For the Sun is Set to Die is available now! You can spend your hard-earned pulls on Phainon, Sunday, Tribbie or Sparkle, check out buffed units, and take part in the new main story. However, everything pales in comparison to Phainon animated short you can find above. Note that it takes place during the Trailblaze Mission, so you might want to experience it naturally through the game!
“Do you still remember, Khaslana, the one who won’t reach the dawn? In that drunken dream, the mountains loomed high and steep — and there, you saw yourself. Interlude: Flares of the Blazing Sun”
Story-wise, this humble but passionate soul is proclaimed to be the Deliverer of Amphoreus, the hero of the prophecy that will save the world from the Dark Tide. But, as we learned through the last few patches, things are not always as they seem.
During combat, Phainon accumulates “Coreflames” either when using his skill, or when being the target of an ally’s skill. Once he reaches a certain number, he can unleash his Ultimate to transform and create a “Territory”, battling enemies in his new powerful form.
His combat power greatly increases, but allies temporarily leave the battlefield, with their bonus effects remaining active. Upon transforming, Phainon unlocks new abilities, channeling the powers of the Titans.
