The new Twinborn part: Phase Driver (Lightning Mode) has finally been released! In this guide, let’s break down what it does, how it performs in real gameplay like Ender Echo and Lunar Mine, and whether it’s worth evolving into an Eternal part yet.
What is Phase Driver (Lightning Mode)?
Phase Driver (Lightning Mode) is a Twinborn part that pairs with the Lightning Emitter weapon. It boosts Lightning Emitter’s power through synergy and effects.
Key Attributes:
- Synergizes exclusively with Lightning Emitter
- Alters or enhances the performance of Lightning-based skills
- Improves damage output in Endless Echo and Expeditions
Testing & Performance Results
1. Early Impressions (Ender Echo)
- Initially, the creator experienced mid-tier results using the new Twinborn.
- Despite downgrading tech parts to make space for this new piece, the performance didn’t dip heavily.
- Surprisingly, damage output remained consistent compared to previous setups.
2. Improved Build Runs
- In a second test run, performance improved noticeably.
- Damage with Lightning Emitter + Phase Driver surpassed the previous soccer ball meta.
- This suggests Lightning Emitter is now a top-tier option when paired with the new Twinborn part.
Lunar Mine Expedition Results
- The Phase Driver also performed solidly in the Lunar Mine expedition.
- Creator tested multiple build combinations, but only two loadouts stood out.
- In both of these builds, Lightning Emitter was the core DPS weapon.
- While the difference was minor (about 3 medals), the Phase Driver consistently delivered reliable results.
Build Recommendations
Twinborn Setup:
- Use Phase Driver only when running Lightning Emitter as your main weapon.
- Don’t rush to Eternal — unless you’re a whale. New Twinborns are still being released, and you may want to wait to craft the optimal pair.
Weapon Focus:
- Replace old favorites like soccer ball with Lightning Emitter.
- Prioritize upgrading Emitter and stacking synergy gear around it.
Tech Part Adjustments:
- You might need to downgrade or swap out other Tech Parts to fit the new Twinborn.
- This trade-off seems to be worth it, especially for Endless Echo performance.
Should You Evolve It to Eternal?
No — not yet.
The video creator clearly recommends waiting to evolve it to Eternal until:
- More Twinborns are released
- The full meta is clearer
- You know which builds you want to lock into long-term
If you’re a free-to-play or low spender, be cautious with your crafting materials and don’t rush.
The Phase Driver (Lightning Mode) is shaping up to be a powerful Twinborn addition — especially for Lightning Emitter fans. It’s not game-breaking, but it provides solid damage boosts, consistent performance in both Ender Echo and Expedition, and helps shift the meta away from older combos.
Recommendation:
Craft at Legendary and test it in your own builds, but hold off on making it Eternal unless you’re fully committed.
FAQs

Q: Can I use it with other weapons?
A: No — this Twinborn part is optimized for Lightning Emitter only.
Q: Should I make it Eternal now?
