Build a teamready-made comps
The Fire Trailblazer (Preservation path — basically the team's designated punching bag) is one of the friendliest, cheapest tanks in the game: it doesn't need Crit stats to perform, just DEF and Speed.
Sub-stat priority: Effect RES > SPD > DEF% > Effect Hit Rate
Since this character's shields and damage reduction scale off DEF, prioritize DEF% on the Body and Sphere pieces.
Put Speed (SPD) on Feet to act early and taunt in time. For the Rope, pick Energy Regeneration Rate if the team wants frequent Ultimates, or DEF% for maximum tankiness.
Substats should have at least 30% Effect RES to unlock the 
Broken Keel planar's team-wide CRIT DMG buff, then prioritize Speed, DEF%, and Effect Hit Rate (so the taunt doesn't get resisted).
Team 1 (
Acheron): pair with Acheron as the main damage dealer, 
Pela and 
Jiaoqiu to strip defenses and stack debuffs, with the Trailblazer tanking hits so Acheron never dies to a stray attack.
Team 2 (generic comp with 
Boothill): Boothill as main DPS, 
Ruan Mei buffing damage and speed, 
Luocha auto-healing, Trailblazer soaking hits so everyone else can attack freely.
Team 3 (damage-over-time comp): 
Black Swan and 
Kafka apply DoT debuffs, 
Huohuo heals and buffs, and the Trailblazer stands in front tanking so the other three can focus on dealing damage.
▾
Deals Fire DMG equal to 140% of the Trailblazer's ATK to one designated enemy and gains 1 stack of "Magma Will."
▾
Increases the Trailblazer's DMG Reduction by 55% and gains 1 stack of Magma Will, with a 100% base chance to Taunt all enemies for 1 turn(s).
▾
Deals Fire DMG equal to 125% of the Trailblazer's ATK plus 188% of the Trailblazer's DEF to all enemies. The next Basic ATK will be automatically enhanced and does not cost Magma Will.
▾
Each time the Trailblazer is hit, they gain 1 stack of "Magma Will" for a max of 8 stack(s). When "Magma Will" has no fewer than 4 stacks, the Trailblazer's Basic ATK becomes enhanced, dealing DMG to one designated enemy and enemies adjacent to it. When the Trailblazer uses Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, apply a Shield to all allies that absorbs DMG equal to 7% of the Trailblazer's DEF plus 103. The Shield lasts for 2 turn(s).
▾
Attacks an enemy, and after entering combat, reduces their Toughness of the corresponding Type.
▾

3★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.
