I know this build needs more ER and ATK (and a teeny-tiny bit more CR), but I'm not sure which artifact piece here is the worst one and should be swapped out/farmed for (or maybe rerolled?) as I have some elixirs to craft pieces so I wonder what should I craft or reroll to upgrade him :[
So, a lot of people have been pointing out the similarities between Teyvat from Genshin Impact and Amphoreus from Honkai: Star Rail. As Haoyu Cai (one of the producers of HoYoverse) confirmed, Genshin is a canon part of the Honkai Universe, which is why we see characters resembling those from the Honkai games in there. However, besides Asmodey there are no direct Honkai variants, but rather characters loosely inspired by them (Venti - Wendy, Raiden Ei - Raiden Mei, Alhaitham - Su, Mavuika - Himeko etc.) which leaves a lot of room to speculate who might be the inspiration behind a character we know little of unless we dive deeper into the lore. Hence I present to you this analysis that compiles all of the striking similarities I found between Phainon and the Dragon King Nibelung - as a big HoYoverse lore nerd with too much time on their hands. I worked really hard on it so I hope you enjoy the read, even if you end up disagreeing with it! :]
