Banner Assessment for 3.3 Phase 1 (Phoenix/Velina)
Phoenix: Feelsmidman ·From a mathematical standpoint, Phoenix forms part of the "current' top performing "All M0W1". If you want to make the biggest numbers go boom at that investment level RIGHT now, that makes her a "must pull" if you are into that. That's where the good things I have to say about Phoenix stop; her kit is such that she is only really playable with one of two "Proper" Anomaly unts (Velina and Vivian), one of which (Velina) is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the other at M0W1. Those restrictions also limit her two Supports (Remielle and Yuzuha), one of which (Remielle) is SIGNFICANTLY better than the other. While you can play Phoenix outside of any combination of Velina/Vivian + Remielle/Yuzuha, your damage will fall off at an alarming rate. On top of this, if you have an older account, M0W1 Phoenix is not sufficiently far ahead of either Burnice/Jane at higher investment points (M1W3) to justify the pull, and worse than them at the M2+ threshold, even as part of the Velina+Remielle shell. Finally, given her W-engine dependency AND the fact she is rerunning alongside Velina, who offers SIGNIFICANTLY more account value than her, this makes her an extremely expensive sell... one that I frankly cannot justify on the road to what will likely be the biggest patch of season. TL:DR Only consider Phoenix IF You already have Remielle+Vivian or Velina+Yuzuha
