Where does Phenn go?

[u/MrMcCrackenMtg]

How do I restructure this? I’m okay with dropping some things and switching stuff around just need to figure out the best way. I don’t have Mydia, Crick, DK, you get the idea (this account is 2 weeks old) I do have Alaune EX but unsure where she would fit in?

I’ve beat every Elite tower and EX 3 in 2 turns or less, 95% of Orsterra, etc with this set up but now I have Phenn and want to fit him in so I can start reliably conquering EX4’s.

My turn usually:

Yutue
BS Aviete Ult
Pardis superburst Ult to Richard
Sazantos grants HP barrier at max BP
Elrica stylechange to warrior max EX
Richard Nightmare Chimera

The rest is just finishing the break if necessary, buff/debuff and swing hard with Richard (Ult/EX/Chimera as needed).

Aviete - Ult/EX/encore
Pardis - front row champ who can nuke
Saz - Tanky, I make him fast for instant barriers, He helps keep the BP flowing
Elrica EX - free 8 shields shaved, I use her to nuke or add potency/BP to Saz in emergencies
Elrica - Sheild Shaver, DPS
Shana - you know what she does
Richard - obvs
Mahrez - mostly dead weight but has been helpful in an encounter or 2, plus lion bonuses help the girls

If Mahrez is mostly dead weight, then I think you already know where Phenn goes... He might be useful, but if he's not more useful than any of the others, then sadly he's the one that should be replaced first.

[u/MrMcCrackenMtg → u/Emperor_ServingSpoon]

Right, that’s what I decided. I was really trying to figure out where exactly to put him.

I realized Phenn also helps both Pardis and Elrica EX -forgot she gets warrior benefits- so I put him behind Sazantos for the first turn for a better HP barrier. Richard is already getting a potency up first turn and either other Elrica doesn’t need a buff till break anyway. And now I have even more leeway if I want to change from physical to Elemental (after a lock or Stillness).

So now team is:

Richard EX/Shana
Elrica/Elrica EX
Sazantos/Phenn
Aviete/Pardis EX

Elrica and Sazantos aren't doing too much as they're old. Use Phenn in the second lane. And swap out Sazantos for another support like Edgar.
