Building Fugue — just follow the numbers
30-second summary

If you run Break teams (Firefly, Boothill, Rappa), Fugue is close to mandatory — her Super Break and Exo-Toughness bar lift the whole squad to another level. If you own no Break DPS, happily skip her; she does nothing for standard comps.

Should you pull Fugue?

If you run Break teams (Firefly, Boothill, Rappa), Fugue is close to mandatory — her Super Break and Exo-Toughness bar lift the whole squad to another level. If you own no Break DPS, happily skip her; she does nothing for standard comps.

Pros
  • Unique Super Break and Exo-Toughness that roughly double break cadence
  • Also brings DEF shred and Weakness Break Efficiency for the team
  • A straight upgrade over Harmony Trailblazer
  • Elite across all three endgame modes
Cons
  • Only strong inside Break teams, dead weight otherwise
  • Needs heavy Break Effect and EHR investment to hit breakpoints
  • Deals no damage herself, fully reliant on the DPS
How to play

Each turn cast Skill on your main DPS to pass Break Effect and dump Exo-Toughness, then fire Ultimate the moment energy is up to shred DEF and open team-wide Super Break. Simple rhythm: Skill every turn, Ult on cooldown.

Skills & Traces
What to level first — tap each skill for details
Skill Leveling Priority
Skill ★★★★★ Skill grants 'Foxian Prayer', boosting the target ally's Break Effect, which is Fugue's core support value and should be leveled first.
Talent ★★★★☆ Talent continuously adds extra Toughness reduction on enemies while Fugue is on field, scaling with its level, so it ranks second priority.
Ultimate ★★★☆☆ Ultimate deals AoE Fire DMG and reduces all enemies' Toughness, useful but not her main buff source, so it comes third.
Basic ATK ★☆☆☆☆ Basic ATK only deals minor damage and has no bearing on her support role, so it is always the lowest priority.
Trace priority: A4 > A6 > A2 Eidolon priority: E6 > E2 > E1 > E4 > E3 = E5

Skill Support Lv.15

Grants one designated ally "Foxian Prayer". Enters the "Torrid Scorch" state, lasting for 3 turn(s). The duration decreases by 1 at the start of Fugue's every turn. "Foxian Prayer" only takes effect on the most recent target of Fugue's Skill. The ally target with "Foxian Prayer" increases their Break Effect by 38% and can also reduce Toughness even when attacking enemies that don't have the corresponding Weakness Type, with the effect equivalent to 50% of the original Toughness Reduction value. This cannot stack with other Toughness Reduction effects that also ignore Weakness Type. While in the "Torrid Scorch" state, Fugue enhances her Basic ATK. Every time an ally target with "Foxian Prayer" attacks, Fugue has a 100% base chance to reduce the attacked enemy target's DEF by 23%, lasting for 2 turn(s).

When the initial Toughness is reduced to 0, "Cloudflame Luster" can continue to be reduced. When "Cloudflame Luster" is reduced to 0, the enemy will receive Weakness Break DMG again. While Fugue is on the field and after allies attack Weakness Broken enemy targets, converts the Toughness Reduction of this attack into 1 instance of 125% Super Break DMG.

How to read this build page

Every character build page has these parts: recommended Light Cone/Relic sets and stat table, a Trace/skill leveling order, Eidolon milestones worth considering, and a reference SPD threshold. Read them in that order — gear tells you "what to use", Traces tell you "what to level first", Eidolon tells you "is it worth pulling dupes", SPD tells you "how fast you need to be to keep the rotation on time". The section below explains how to read each part and applies the same way to every character on the site — check the exact numbers in the table above this section, since community sources sometimes differ by a few points.

Why the Light Cone and Relic picks make sense

Most characters have a "signature" Light Cone built for their exact role, plus a few cheaper substitutes from the standard banner or easy-to-get 3-4★ cones. Missing the signature isn't a dead end — most characters keep most of their power with a well-matched substitute, typically losing somewhere between a few percent and roughly a fifth of total damage depending on the setup, per most public comparisons.

  • Relic sets (2pc+2pc or 4pc) are picked for the set effect that fits that character's role (single-target DPS, AoE, shield/healing support, Break damage, and so on).
  • Main stats per slot (Body/Feet/Sphere/Rope) and substats follow a priority that changes by role: DPS roles usually chase CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG before ATK%; Break-focused roles prioritize Break Effect; support/healing roles often value Effect Hit/RES or Outgoing Healing over pure CRIT.

These weights differ per character and can shift slightly between ranking sources — follow the exact priority table above rather than applying one formula to every role.

Trace/skill leveling order by role (a general guideline, not a fixed rule)

There's no single order that's correct for every character, and community sources sometimes disagree depending on the team the character is used in — but the general pattern by role is:

  • DPS: level whichever skill (Skill or Ultimate) carries most of the damage for that character first, with Basic ATK usually last if it isn't the main damage source.
  • Support/Buffer: prioritize Traces that boost buff strength or the skill that applies the effect over Basic ATK, since this role's value comes from lifting the team rather than personal damage.
  • Healer/Shielder: prioritize the main healing or shield skill first, since that is the reason the team runs this character.
  • Break/CC: prioritize whichever skill contributes the most Toughness Damage, since the Break/Weakness Break window is where the team dumps damage.

Major Traces unlock at fixed ascension levels in-game, not by choice — but which one to level first (when resources are limited) should follow the role priority above. Since the exact order can differ between ranking sources, check the specific recommendation in the table above for this character.

Eidolons: how far E0 gets you, and which milestone is worth considering

General rule: most characters at E0 (no duplicates) already handle most content, even 5-star characters. Eidolons are a duplicate-fueled upgrade system — higher levels cost more resources for a smaller power gain, and the actual gain varies a lot per character (some barely change role at E0, others shift how they're played at a specific level). The milestones most often cited by the community tend to sit at E1, E2, or E6 depending on the character — but none of these are required to clear the game's content. Check the Eidolon section in the table above for this character's specific milestone and gain; if sources disagree on how to rate a milestone, trust the in-game effect description over a pre-set percentage number.

How to think about SPD breakpoints

SPD (Speed) controls how often a character acts in the turn order — higher SPD means denser actions, and for some roles (especially support/healing that need to buff or heal before the team gets hit) hitting the right SPD "breakpoint" matters more than the raw SPD number. Values like 101 or 134 SPD are often cited as community-common breakpoints (letting a character act again before or after a specific point in certain team setups) — this is crowd-verified action-gauge math, not an official fixed number the game states for every situation. The right breakpoint also depends on the team and allies' SPD, so treat the SPD suggestion in the table above as a starting point to adjust from, not a mandatory target.
