Phoebe is a 5★ Spectro Rectifier who excels as a flexible Absolution DPS (personal damage focus, requires external Spectro Frazzle application) or Confession Sub-DPS (applies max Frazzle stacks for enablers like Zani). Her kit revolves around the Ring of Mirrors (Res. Skill), Heavy Attack: Starflash (her main damage source), and Spectro Frazzle (DoT stacks up to 10, amps her damage). She's F2P-friendly at S0 with strong 4★ options, but sequences provide massive early gains.
With her 2.8 rerun alongside Chisa (Phase 1: Nov 20 - Dec 11 2025), prioritize sequences/weapon if you already have her and want top Spectro teams (e.g., Phoebe hypercarry or Zani enabler). S0 is already T1 in Whimpering Wastes/Tower; don't force pulls.
Signature Weapon: Luminous Hymn
Lv.90 Stats: 500 Base ATK | 36% CRIT Rate
Passive (Homebuilder's Anthem):
- ATK +12~24%.
- Hitting Spectro Frazzle enemies: +14~28% Basic Attack DMG and Heavy Attack DMG (independent stacks, up to 3x each for 6s).
- Outro Skill: Amps Spectro Frazzle DMG by 50~100% for 30s (affects active character in ~30m radius).
Value & Alternatives
Bang for Buck: BiS (~119% relative DPS), but not mandatory. Covers ~60% of her damage (Basics/Heavies) with perfect synergy + team Frazzle amp (~0.6% team DPS, minor). Pull if no Stringmaster/Rime-Draped Sprouts; otherwise, skip for sequences.
| Weapon | Relative DPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Luminous Hymn (Sig) | 119% | Perfect synergy + team Frazzle amp |
| Stringmaster (Yinlin Sig) | 111% | Flat 12% DMG; great quickswap |
| Rime-Draped Sprouts (Zhezhi Sig) | 109% | 72% CRIT DMG substat |
| Cosmic Ripples | 98% | Energy + Basic stacks |
| Ocean's Gift (F2P R5) | 90-100% | Spectro DMG stacks on Frazzle |
Recommendation: Weapon > S1 if low on pulls. F2P: Ocean's Gift is more than enough.
Sequence Guide: S1-S6 Breakdown
Phoebe's sequences are extremely frontloaded — huge jumps S1-S3 (S0 → S3: +64% DPS), then diminishing (S3 → S6: +75% more). Dual-mode effects: Absolution (DPS) scales better early; Confession (Sub-DPS) loves S2/S3 for Zani teams.
| Sequence | Effect (Absolution / Confession) | Value | DPS Gain (1T, Absolution) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | Lib DMG +480% (vs 255%) / Lib +90% DMG + max Frazzle stacks | ★★★★☆ Great early burst/Frazzle button. Must-pull for both modes. | +9% |
| S2 | Outro to Frazzle +120% Amp / Silent Prayer +120% Frazzle Amp | ★★★☆☆ Strong team enabler (Zani meta). | +21% |
| S3 | Starflash DMG +91% / +249% | ★★★★☆ Core Heavy buff (her main hitter). Best single sequence. | +34% |
| S4 | Basics/Dodge Counters: -10% Spectro RES (30s) | ★★★★☆ Team shred; dilutes if other sources (Rover S6). | +18% |
| S5 | Intro: +12% Spectro DMG (15s) | ★★★☆☆ Minor personal buff. Skip. | +10% |
| S6 | Ring: +2s Stagnate (12 targets) / Ring summon: +10% ATK (20s) + free Starflash | ★★★★★ Luxury CC/DMG. Rotation tweak needed. | +47% |
Investment Priority: Most Bang for Your Buck
- S0: Excellent baseline (T1 Spectro DPS/Sub). No pulls needed.
- S1: Must-pull (+9% personal, enables Confession burst).
- S1-S2: Great value (+30% total). Zani enabler perfected.
- S1-S3: Optimal stopping point (+64% DPS). Hypercarry ready; worth full guarantee.
- S1-S6: Whale territory (+139% DPS). S4/S6 team utility; skip S5.
Pull Order: Weapon (if no alts) → S1 → S3 → S2/S4 → S6.
Confession (Zani teams): Stop at S2.
Absolution (hypercarry): Aim S3+.
