Best Drive Disc sets for Phoenix
Phoenix's 4-piece set is Freedom Blues. No other 4-piece set is recommended, so there is no substitute worth farming.
-
Freedom Blues Best in slot
4-piece: When an EX Special Attack hits an enemy, reduce the target's Anomaly Buildup RES to the equipper's Attribute by 20% for 8s. This effect does not stack with others of the same attribute
2-piece: Anomaly Proficiency +30. Drops from Sharp Fang and Blunt Axe.
2-piece options
For the 2-piece slot the bonus matters, not the set's name. Several sets share the same 2-piece bonus, so Phoenix can take it from whichever one you have spare pieces of. Best first:
- Anomaly Mastery +8% Best in slot: Phaethon's Melody
- Anomaly Proficiency +30: any of Freedom Blues, Chaos Jazz or Feathered Fate (they give the same bonus)
Phoenix main stats: Disk 4, 5 and 6
Disks 1 to 3 always roll HP, ATK and DEF as their main stat, so the choice is on 4, 5 and 6. A > means "better than"; = means the two are about as good.
| Slot | Main stat, best first |
|---|---|
| Disk 4 | Anomaly Proficiency |
| Disk 5 | Fire DMG% |
| Disk 6 | ATK% |
Phoenix substat priority
Roll for Anomaly Proficiency and ATK% first. A disc showing neither of those is rarely worth levelling for Phoenix, whatever else it has.
- Anomaly Proficiency
- ATK%
- CRIT Rate
- CRIT DMG
- Flat ATK

Open Drive Disc TriageQuestions
What is the best Drive Disc set for Phoenix?
Freedom Blues 4-piece. For the 2-piece, any set with Anomaly Mastery +8% or Anomaly Proficiency +30 works.
What main stats should Phoenix use on Disk 4, 5 and 6?
Disk 4: Anomaly Proficiency. Disk 5: Fire DMG%. Disk 6: ATK%. Disks 1 to 3 have fixed main stats (HP, ATK and DEF), so only their substats matter.
What substats does Phoenix need?
In priority order: Anomaly Proficiency, ATK%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Flat ATK. The first two are what make a disc worth levelling for Phoenix; the rest are tiebreakers.
Where do I farm Phoenix's Drive Discs?
Freedom Blues drops from the Sharp Fang and Blunt Axe Area Patrol stage, alongside Polar Metal. Each run at Lv.60 costs 60 Battery Charge and splits its S-rank discs between the two sets.
