Despite Philip's starting turns being safe enough to bring in the Purple Tear without attributing defensive passives, he has so much bulk and effective HP/Stagger that it takes going full force for 6 scenes to kill him. Nostalgic Embrace RNG is the deciding factor of this fight: proc too little, you never stagger him, proc it too much on scene 3 and you can't clash him enough to get a full emotion level on scene 4. FMF on 5 and 6 is mandatory, the fight does not end until you personally kill all 5 units.
Why this is not faster: You'd need to proc Nostalgic Embrace on essentially every clash to barely stagger him on 3 and phase him. Then you need to repeat this again (easier because nostalgic embrace already stacked up a bit and he has endures now) on 4, while also getting specifically FMF. Then you realize you can't kill him because you will only have a maximum of 2 fervid emotions in hand, he can easily roll over your counter die clashing the laser, you never got a chance to smoke up again or play strength cards, and you physically do not have enough light to play wingbeat and FMF at the same time: That's 9 light, and you're at EL4 max on scene 5.
Don't even think about using guard stance considering the damage woes I just described.
