If you’re planning to pull Feixiao inHonkai: Star Rail, you need to understand the best way to build her up to get the most impact. For all your build crafting needs, here’s a nifty guide on Feixiao, to help you get your feet on the ground.
Strongest Feixiao Build in Honkai: Star Rail
Feixiao is aWind Huntcharacter that focuses on delivering easy-to-access follow-up attacks to dish out extremely potent single-target damage. Unlike most follow-up attackers, Feixiao’s are super easy to activate—only requiring a teammate to attack an enemy target, and that’s it. This means that Feixiao attacks very often without any sort of follow-up restrictions, making her highly versatile. Feixiao’s versatility translates into her being able to be inserted into practically any team composition and find some level of success.
Feixiao does not require too much high-level planning to get rolling because most of her kit is straightforward and her team restrictions are low. However, one of her unique aspects you need to be aware of is how her Ultimate ability works. Like Acheron, Feixiao’s Ultimate does not work off an energy threshold. Instead, she requires stacks of her Talent,Thunderhunt, to build up to a minimum ofsix. This is done simply by having her teammates attack enemies. Every two launched attacks count toward this counter, which is important to consider later for team composition.
At six stacks, Feixiao can activate her Ultimate at will to dish out some solid damage that ignores Elemental Weakness while active. Her Talent caps out attwelve, however, which greatly improves her Ultimate’s damage if you wait to use it. Still, being able to activate it early provides you with a new tactical option, which can make or break an encounter. Beyond this, she is a tried and true Main DPS that wants ATK% and CRIT stats to dish out her damage.
Best Relics for Feixiao
A substantial portion of Feixiao’s damage comes from her launching her unconditional follow-up attacks often, so you want to use Relics that focus on improving them. With this in mind, her best Relic set isThe Wind-Soaring Valorous, as it provides Feixiao with a nice boost to ATK% and CRIT Rate. Most important though is the 36% damage increase to her Ultimate, something she should be using often.
A strong alternative set you can use isThe Ashblazing Grand Dukeas it greatly boosts the power of her follow-up attacks, the other thing she should be doing quite often.
For Feixiao’s Sphere and Rope set, you want to useDuran, Dynasty of Running Wolves, as it directly synergizes with her core gameplay loop of having her allies use follow-up attacks to build stacks for her Talent. The set gives a stacking dmg boost (5%) to Feixiao’s follow-ups every time a teammate launches a follow-up attack, up to five times. At five stacks, Feixiao additionally gains 25% CRIT DMG. Quite strong.
Best Team Comp for Feixiao
While Feixiao doesn’t require any specific characters to function well, as a follow-up attacker, she gains considerable power from teams that focus on empowering them at all times. With this in mind,TopazandRobinare her best teammates.March 7th (Hunt)is also a strong alternative supporter for Feixiao.
Topazis the premium follow-up attack buffer and she is especially potent with Feixiao thanks to her ability to buff follow-up attacks against single targets. Topaz synergizes with Feixiao incredibly well due to this, along with her high attack frequency, giving Feixiao a constant source of stacks for her Ultimate.
Robinis a standout follow-up attack buffer, designed specifically to enhance the performance of characters who rely on frequent attacks. Her Ultimate thrives on the team’s ability to unleash multiple attacks within its active window, significantly boosting overall damage. When paired with characters like Topaz and Feixiao, who constantly trigger each other’s follow-up attacks, Robin’s Ultimate can deliver devastating blows repeatedly, maximizing the team’s offensive potential.
March 7th (Hunt)is a strong alternative to Topaz for pairing with Feixiao, offering a significant speed boost and extra attacks that help Feixiao build stacks more quickly. Similar to Topaz, both characters can trigger each other’s follow-up attacks, leading to multiple strikes per turn. Furthermore, when Feixiao becomes March 7th’s Shifu, she gains access to Wind and Imaginary elements, allowing her to cover a rarer set of weaknesses and enhance the team’s versatility.
Should you get Feixiao’s Lightcone in Honkai: Star Rail?
Feixiao’s Lightcone,I Venture Forth to Hunt,is undoubtedly her best option, and you should consider pulling for it if you’re planning on getting her. It gives her an absurd amount of additional CRIT Rate while allowing her to ignore a considerable amount of her target’s defense if she landed follow-up attacks against them. It is a large damage increase for her that you should consider if you’re pulling Feixiao.
However, if you’re not interested in her Lightcone, she does have one other notable option withBaptism of Pure Thought–Dr. Ratio’s signature Lightcone. It gives Feixiao a general damage buff and allows her follow-up attacks to ignore the defense of her enemies (smaller than her signature) every time she uses her Ultimate. This lasts for two turns, but since Feixiao will be triggering her Ultimate and follow-up attacks pretty much all the time,this buff is permanent, making the Lightcone a very strong alternative.
Best Eidolons for Feixiao in Honkai: Star Rail
Like most limited five-star characters, Feixiao is a strong character right out of the gate at E0. She really does not need Eidolons to crush all of the content the game has to offer. However, if you’re still interested in getting some of her Eidolons, here’s an overview of each one for your information.
