Time to make the lacking general into the great general.
The great general Feixiao has finally arrived in Honkai Star Rail and is ready to conquer any foe that stands in her way. Like Acheron, Feixiao can deal the most damage from her ultimate ability, which she can unleash back-to-back.
Feixiao is an S-tier DPS character in Honkai Star Rail who works well in follow-up attack teams.
If you want to make your Feixiao the most powerful general in Xianzhou (sorry, Jing Yuan), look no further than our Feixiao build guide, which includes details like the best light cones, relics, ornaments, and team compositions.
Best Feixiao build: light cones
| FEIXIAO LIGHT CONE | LIGHT CONE DESCRIPTION | HOW TO GET |
I Venture Forth to Hunt (5-star) |
Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 15-25%. When the wearer launches a follow-up attack, they gain 1 stack of “Luminflux” to a max of 2 stacks. Each stack of “Luminflux” enables the Ultimate DMG deal by the wearer to ignore 27-39% of the target’s DEF. When the wearer’s turn ends, removes 1 stack of “Luminflux.” | Feixiao light cone warp |
Worrisome, Blissful (5-star) |
Increase the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 18-30% and increases DMG dealt by follow-up attack by 30-50%. After the wearer uses a follow-up attack, inflicts the target with the Tame state, stacking up to 2 time(s). When allies hit enemy targets under the Tame state, each Tame stack increases the CRIT DMG dealt by 12-20% | Topaz light cone warp |
Baptism of Pure Thought (5-star) |
Increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 20-32%. For every debuff on the enemy target, the wearer’s CRIT DMG dealt against this target additionally increases by 8-12%, stacking up to 3 times. When using Ultimate to attack the enemy target, the wearer receives the Disputation effect, which increases DMG dealt by 36-60% and enables their follow-up attacks to ignore 24-40% of the target’s DEF. This effect lasts for 2 turns. | Dr. Ratio light cone warp |
Final Victor (4-star) |
Increases the wearer’s ATK by 12-20%. When the wearer lands a CRIT hit on enemies, gains 1 stack of Good Fortune. This can stack up to 4 time(s). Every stack of Good Fortune increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 8-12%. Good Fortune will be removed at the end of the wearer’s turn. | Light Cone Manifest |
Feixiao’s damage scales off her ATK, and her follow-up attacks and ultimate compromise the majority of her damage output. As such, the light cones that suit her the most are the ones that bolster the aforementioned attributes.
Naturally, the best light cone for Feixiao would be her signature light cone, ‘I Venture Forth to Hunt.’ The great general can deal massive crit damage from her follow-up attacks, thanks to one of her bonus traces and the buff she can receive from teammates like Topaz and Robin.
Feixiao’s signature light cone can increase her crit rate, allowing her to proc crit damage more often. Most importantly, her ultimate damage can ignore up to 39% of enemy defense, which is insane because Feixiao’s ultimate is quite powerful in itself, mainly because it can deal toughness damage to enemies irrespective of their weakness.
With this light cone’s absurd defense shred, Feixiao’s ultimate damage can deal even more damage.
Topaz’s signature light cone is another great option for Feixiao. Since Feixiao is a better damage dealer than Topaz, we recommend equipping this light cone on her, but only if you don’t want to pull for her signature light cone.
Worrisome, Blissful can boost Feixiao’s crit rate, crit damage, and follow-up attack damage, all of which are essential to bolster her damage output.
Dr. Ratio’s signature light cone is also a good option for Feixiao, but only if you have at least one party member who can inflict a debuff on the enemy target. As such, we recommend bringing Topaz, Aventurine, March 7th (Hunt), or Robin.
Baptism of Pure Thought can massively boost Feixiao’s crit damage and ultimate damage, alongside increasing her crit rate.
If you’re looking for a more free-to-play light cone for Feixiao, we recommend Final Vector. It can buff Feixiao’s attack and crit-damage.
Best Feixiao build: relics
| FEIXIAO RELIC | RELIC LIGHT CONE |
The Wind-Soaring Valorous |
2-piece effect: Increases ATK by 12% 4-piece effect: Increases the wearer’s CRIT Rate by 6%. When the wearer uses a follow-up attack, increases the DMG dealt by Ultimate by 36%, lasting for 1 turn(s). |
The Ashblazing Grand Duke |
2-piece effect: Increases the DMG dealt by follow-up attacks by 20% 4-piece effect: When the wearer uses follow-up attacks, increases the wearer’s ATK by 6% for every time the follow-up attack deals DMG. This effect can stack up to 8 time(s) and lasts for 3 turn(s). This effect is removed the next time the wearer uses a follow-up attack. |
The Wind-Soaring Valorous is the best relic set for Feixiao because it can increase the crit rate and provide ATK and ultimate damage boost. However, note that you have to use a follow-up attack to proc the ultimate damage boost.
The Ashblazing Grand Duke relic set is the second-best option for Feixiao because it can boost follow-up attack damage and ATK. The ATK buff increases with follow-up attacks and can stack up to 8 times, so you can get a pretty decent ATK boost from it.
Best Feixiao build: planar ornaments
| FEIXIAO PLANAR ORNAMENT | PLANAR ORNAMENT DESCRIPTION |
Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves |
2-piece effect: When an ally uses follow-up attacks, the wearer gains 1 stack of Merit, stacking up to 5 time(s). Each stack of Merit increases the DMG dealt by the wearer’s follow-up attacks by 5%. When there are 5 stacks, additionally increases the wearer’s CRIT DMG by 25%. |
Inert Salsotto |
Increases the wearer’s ATK by 12%. When entering battle, if at least one other ally follows the same Path as the wearer, then the wearer’s CRIT Rate increases by 12%. |
Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves is the best Planar Ornament set for Feixiao, as it can increase follow-up attack damage up to 25%. Just make sure you have more than one party member who can deal follow-up attacks to stack up this damage boost quickly.
When you do max out the follow-up attack damage boost, you gain a 25% crit damage boost.
Inert Salsotto Planar Ornament set is a solid alternative if you have at least one other party member of the Hunt Path. With this, you can get a decent ATK and crit rate boost.
Best Feixiao build: team composition
The best Feixiao team would consist of multiple follow-up attack damage-dealing characters, someone to boost her ultimate damage, and someone to ensure her survivability. Sadly, at the moment, Feixiao can only work well in a few follow-up attack teams though they are in no way underwhelming.
We have put together a separate guide for Feixiao’s best team compositions, explaining her synergies with characters suited for premium and free-to-play accounts.
