Phila

Weapon: It’s Curtains…+ (+Spd)

Assist: Positional Assist

Special: Galeforce

A Passive: Atk/Spd Boosting A Slot / Heavy Blade (3 or 4)

B Passive: A/D Near Trace / S/D Near Trace / Wings of Mercy / Flow Guard / Flow Force / Desperation

C Passive: Odd Tempest / Even Tempest / Atk/Def Rein / Spd/Def Rein / Atk/Spd Rein

Sacred Seal: Heavy Blade / Blade Session / Quickened Pulse

• Despite being in an oversaturated archetype with no PRF to call her own, Phila does scrape by as being a Lance Flier affords her the option to use It’s Curtains…+ which is fantastic for Galeforce strategies. This means she can start out with a three-cooldown Galeforce, and while the weapon itself doesn’t grant anything else beyond the initial two cooldown, Phila, herself, is quite decent offensively and can manage thanks to the amount of Passives she has access to, and in some scenarios, won’t need Heavy Blade to get it going if the foe can counter back, there are no Guard effects, and she can double, most of which are effectively non-conditions. As such, this set will be here to highlight notable Passive options that can go in tandem with It’s Curtains…+ and the Galeforce role as a whole.
   
• Since Phila will be starting with a three-cooldown Galeforce, she will want to take the opportunity to bolster her overall offensive prowess as not being able to double or missing a kill could spell trouble for her. As such, any Passive that bolsters her overall Atk and Spd will work best for her. However, she can always run Heavy Blade 4 if using her with Wings of Mercy and Quickened Pulse so that she can one-tap Galeforce.
   
• The B Passive option is going to be the most flexible slot afforded to her as there is an assortment of Galeforce strategies she can take advantage of. If you want her to act as a Hit and Run unit, she can pick up one of two Near Traces, and when paired with a Tempest, she can run away after a second combat with up to four movement if the situation proves beneficial in that regard. Meanwhile, as aforementioned, she can run Wings of Mercy if you would much rather have a different Wings of Mercy beacon. This can allow her to still function quite well as Wings of Mercy support. Other Passive options include Flows and Desperation, the former securing her own doubles in the Player Phase and the latter making her less prone to incoming damage after the first combat.
   
• Outside of the Tempest line of skills, Phila can run an assortment of Rein skills that can either be used for standard stat swings or improve her ability to secure Heavy Blade checks. If the goal is simply damage, taking Spd/Def Rein will be the superior choice but if you want to use her with Heavy Blade in mind, Atk/Def Rein or Atk/Spd Rein are the better options.
   
• In terms of Sacred Seal options, Phila can choose between Heavy Blade, Blade Session, and Quickened Pulse. Heavy Blade is only necessary if you either want to secure Galeforce or are using her with Wings of Mercy and if the A Passive isn’t occupied by said skill. However, if using Wings of Mercy, it’s much more effective to run Heavy Blade as the A Passive and Quickened Pulse as the Sacred Seal so that she can one-tap Galeforce. Otherwise, continuing to bolster her overall Atk and Spd will be the best option for her, and Blade Session provides the biggest stat swing in that regard.

Weapon: Allied Lance+ (+Res) / Wagasa+ (+Res)

Assist: Rally Assist

Special: Moonbow / Escutcheon

A Passive: Still Water 4 / HP +5

B Passive: Sabotage Skills / Sudden Panic

C Passive: Cross Spur Atk / Inf. Spd Tactic / Spd/Def Hold / Atk/Res Hold

Sacred Seal: Drive Atk / HP +5

• Because Phila has a solid Res stat, she can go into a role that focuses on supportive capabilities rather than combative. What’s more, her status as a Lance Flier means she can take advantage of other supportive skills such as Allied Lance+, Wagasa+, Reins/Holds as well as Sudden Panic. She does lose out on the likes of Ruse skills but the trade-off is more than worth it, and if you would much rather use Phila in this manner, then consider the following options.
   
• In terms of supportive Assists, the most that extend into that role are Rallys as they can visibly buff an ally up to six points in two respective stats. There’s not much else to say on that front outside of the type of Rally she could run and that simply boils down to Rally versus Rally Up, the former affecting one ally for two stats and the latter affecting several for one stat.
   
• For Phila’s role as a support unit, she can either use her Res or HP stat. The former is a lot more manageable since her base Res is relatively high as is but the most she’ll be able to inflict on the foe is a single Sabotage. Meanwhile, the HP stat is a bit lower but can be bolstered fairly easily and can allow her to take advantage of Sudden Panic. As such, either running Still Water 4 or HP +5 will be the go-to options.
   
• Beyond that, there is an assortment of C Passive options that Phila can use for her role as a support unit. In terms of stats, she can provide additional Atk with the likes of Cross Spur Atk or a respective Hold as the latter can debuff foes during combat from a fair range away. Otherwise, she can run Inf. Spd Tactic to grant visible Null Follow-Up to Infantry allies at the start of the turn.
