Should you pull Fu Xuan?

Fu Xuan is one of the safest team-wide sustains, cutting damage for everyone and auto-saving allies from lethal hits. Roll if you keep dying in MoC; skip comfortably if you already own Aventurine or Huohuo.

Pros
  • Team-wide DMG reduction plus automatic revive-tier saves
  • CRIT Rate buff that lifts your DPS
  • Rock-solid sustain, easy build - just HP and SPD
Cons
  • No strong active healing like Huohuo or Luocha
  • Slightly power-crept by newer sustains
  • Relatively weaker in Pure Fiction's offense-focused mode
How to play

Open with her Ultimate to deploy the Matrix (18% team DMG reduction + CRIT Rate buff), then just re-cast Skill when the Matrix expires. Basic attack on spare turns to feed energy and keep the Matrix up permanently.

Eidolons
How far to invest, which milestones matter

E0 (E1 rất mạnh nhưng đắt) — E0 clears all content fine. E1 (extra mitigation at low HP) and E2 are strong but pricey - only pull if you have spare currency.

E1
Dominus Pacis★★★★★
The Knowledge effect increases CRIT DMG by 30%.
The Knowledge effect adds 30% CRIT DMG to the whole team, a huge power spike for a support unit.
E2
Optimus Felix★★★★☆
If any ally target is struck by a killing blow while "Matrix of Prescience" is active, then all ally targets who were struck by a killing blow during this action will not be knocked down, and 70% of their Max HP is immediately restored. This effect can trigger 1 time per battle.
Prevents allies from being knocked out by a killing blow while Matrix of Prescience is active and instantly restores 70% Max HP, greatly boosting team survivability.
E3
Apex Nexus★★☆☆☆
Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Only levels up Skill and Talent, low-impact since it adds no new effect.
E4
Fortuna Stellaris★★★☆☆
When other allies under Matrix of Prescience are attacked, Fu Xuan regenerates 5 Energy.
When shielded allies under Matrix of Prescience are attacked, Fu Xuan regenerates 5 Energy, giving a moderate boost to Ultimate uptime.

E6
Omnia Vita★★★★★
Once Matrix of Prescience is activated, it will keep a tally of the total HP lost by all team members in the current battle. The DMG dealt by Fu Xuan's Ultimate will increase by 200% of this tally of HP loss. This tally is also capped at 120% of Fu Xuan's Max HP and the tally value will reset and re-accumulate after Fu Xuan's Ultimate is used.
Matrix of Prescience tallies total team HP lost and adds 200% of that amount to Ultimate DMG, turning the Ultimate into a massive nuke.

Skills & Traces
What to level first — tap each skill for details
Skill Leveling Priority
Skill ★★★★★ Skill activates Matrix of Prescience, the core damage-redirection mechanic that lets Fu Xuan tank hits for the team, so it deserves top priority.
Talent ★★★★★ Talent grants the whole team 22% DMG reduction and self-heals Fu Xuan, making it her core defensive power source, tied with Skill for top priority.
Ultimate ★★★☆☆ Ultimate deals AoE DMG scaling off Max HP and grants a HP Restore trigger, useful but not her core mechanic, so it sits at mid priority.
Basic ATK ★★☆☆☆ Following standard HSR logic, Basic ATK stays the lowest priority since Fu Xuan is a defensive sustain, not a primary damage dealer.
Trace priority: A4 = A6 > A2 Eidolon priority: E1 = E6 > E2 > E4 > E3 = E5

This effect cannot be triggered if she receives a killing blow. This effect has 1 trigger count by default and can hold up to a maximum of 2 trigger counts.

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.
