Unleashing the Ultimate Strategy: Conquer Phantylia the Undying in Honkai: Star Rail!

In Honkai: Star Rail's Desolate Depths of Despair Trailblaze mission, an astonishing plot twist surrounding Tingyun is unveiled. This revelation is particularly intriguing considering her peculiar statements during the quest where Abundant Ebon Deer comes to life. Given the immense power possessed by this Honkai: Star Rail boss, it is unsurprising that she becomes a weekly adversary. As a result, players have the opportunity to revisit the battle in the Echoes of War. While the reward can only be obtained three times each week, there are no restrictions on the number of attempts players can make. For those struggling against this formidable foe, the following article provides essential tips and strategies for defeating Phantylia the Undying in Honkai: Star Rail.

How To Beat Phantylia The Undying In Honkai: Star Rail

To successfully defeat Phantylia the Undying, players must familiarize themselves with the mechanics of her Abundance and Destruction Lotuses throughout the three distinct phases. During the initial stage, Phantylia will summon a pair of Abundance Lotuses. As the battle progresses to the second phase, two Destruction Lotuses will join Phantylia in her relentless assault. Finally, in the ultimate phase, both Abundance and Destruction versions of the Lotuses will be present, resulting in a total of five adversaries on the battlefield.

Phase 1

Phase 2

During phase 1, once the boss begins to move, it is advisable for Trailblazers to hold their ground and wait for the Abundance Lotus to materialize before unleashing a powerful AoE attack. Another viable strategy could entail carefully planning the annihilation of each Lotus, as destroying both simultaneously would result in wasting the replenished Skill Points. Each Lotus bestows three Points, while there is a maximum limit of five Skill Points that can be obtained.

In contrast to the Abundance Lotus, the Destruction variant manifests right from the outset of the second phase. The Destruction Lotus carries out one of two actions: it either drains a character's HP, diminishing their health and impeding their maximum recoverable HP, or it unleashes a Bloom attack, causing the affected character to deliver a devastating blow in the following turn. However, during this phase, the Lotus primarily resorts to employing the Siphon ability rather than initiating a Bloom attack.

Bloom state can be removed with buff dispelling Skills, while the Siphon debuff can be eliminated by using cleansing Skills.

Phase 3

During phase 3, players will encounter two Abundance Lotuses and two Destruction Lotuses right from the start. Whenever an Abundance Lotus is destroyed, the boss will promptly summon another one. On the other hand, the Destruction Lotuses cannot be destroyed; instead, they enter a Repose state and revive after two turns.

In phase 2 of the game, the Destruction flower significantly increases its usage of Bloom compared to the previous stage. Therefore, players must be extremely vigilant as the Havoc Skill can be fatal if not properly managed.

Furthermore, players will have access to the assistance of Dan Heng's Imbibitor Lunae, which can be activated by pressing R (or the corresponding button) once its energy is fully charged.

Abundance and Destruction Lotus Talent Overview

Here’s a summary of the Lotus players will face while trying to beat Phantylia the Undying.

Abundance Lotus

Has 60 Toughness.

Weak to Wind and Imaginary.

Take away one Skill point from the players' team.

Once defeated, restore three Skill points to the players' team.

Destruction Lotus

Has 180 Toughness in the Echoes of War.

Weak to Lightning, Quantum, and Imaginary.

Weakness is disabled when Bloom status isn't present.

After utilizing Bloom, players can proceed with Havoc, a powerful attack that inflicts significant damage (provided the boss is not under crowd control). The Bloom state can be removed by employing skills that dispel buffs.

If the Bloom is dispelled, Weakness is nullified, or the Lotus is defeated, the Destruction Lotus imposes a debuff on the boss called vulnerability, resulting in a 50% increase in damage taken for one turn.

Can apply a debuff that blocks recoverable HP by 40% of max HP. This debuff can be deleted using cleansing Skills.

Once defeated, enter the Repose state and revive after two turns.

Phase 2 Lotuses have Lightning attributes and phase 3 is Imaginary.

Team Composition To Beat Phantylia The Undying In Honkai: Star Rail

The best team compositions to use against Phantylia the Undying in Honkai: Star Rail should include:

An AoE DPS

A second DPS or debuffer

A buffer

A cleanser + healer

For example, players can do something like:

Best Overall Team

Main DPS: Blade

Second DPS + Debuffer: Welt

Support: Bronya

Cleanser + Healer + Buff Remover: Luocha

F2P Team

AoE DPS: Serval

Second DPS: Dan Heng

Support: Yukong

Cleanser + Healer: Natasha

Lightning Team

Main DPS: Jing Yuan

Second DPS: Dan Heng

Support: Tingyun

Cleanser + Healer: Natasha

It is crucial to have characters who can cleanse the debuff caused by Destruction Lotuses due to their ability to reduce max HP by 40%. Characters like Natasha and Luocha are ideal for this task as they possess healing abilities and can also remove debuffs. Moreover, Luocha's Imaginary Element is particularly effective against the boss since it is weak against this attribute. In addition to this, Luocha is capable of removing buffs, which can prevent Destruction Lotuses from blooming.

Furthermore, players require a strong DPS (damage per second) unit, preferably one with AoE (area of effect) capabilities, to effortlessly disable the Lotuses. The recently introduced character, Blade, in Honkai: Star Rail is a perfect choice due to his powerful AoE ability and survivability. Pairing Blade with Bronya and Luocha simultaneously can greatly enhance his performance.

Meanwhile, free-to-play players can opt for the 4-star units strategy, utilizing Serval as the area-of-effect attacker and Dan Heng as the single-target damage dealer. Even though Natasha's Physical Element may not be effective against Phantylia the Undying, her abilities to cleanse and heal will adequately support the team's survival.

Honkai: Star Rail is currently accessible on Android, iOS, and PC, with a PlayStation version currently being developed.
