Its SPD boost perfectly complements his aggressive playstyle.

If you're on a budget, On the Fall of an Aeon is an excellent free-to-play option, obtainable from Herta's shop. This Light Cone grants an 8% ATK boost that can stack up to 36%, enhancing Phainon's overall damage, especially after breaking enemy weaknesses.

An additional strong contender for a 5-star Light Cone is Something Irreplaceable, which benefits from both ATK and DMG boosts by 24% alongside self-healing abilities. This makes it particularly useful for sustained engagements.
