With the announcement of Honkai Star Rail’s 3.0 Version Update Livestream, players are now shown what characters will be available for them to summon in the upcoming 1st phase of the content patch update, featuring the introduction of The Herta, together with the rerun of 3 of the game’s powerful characters - Feixiao, Jade and Lingsha.
Table contents
In this guide, we will go over the best builds, lightcones, teams and relics for the swift and powerful general Feixiao and show players who want to get her during her rerun banner how to turn Feixiao into the best premium Follow Up Attack DPS in the game.
Basic Introduction
Feixiao is a Wind Element Character following the Path of The Hunt. She is a premium Follow Up Attack Main DPS character with the ability to constantly move and deal Follow Up Attacks against enemies and deal extremely high burst damage with her Ultimate.

Main DPS |
Feixiao’s gameplay revolves around her 2 main mechanics:
- Whenever someone deals a skill damage against an enemy a set number of times, Feixiao will gain 1 stack of her talent and once she has at least 2 stacks, she will immediately initiate a Follow Up Attack against the same enemy, dealing massive amounts of damage and increasing her stacks by 1. Using her Skill will also immediately trigger a Follow Up Attack against the same enemy.
- When Feixiao’s talent stack reaches 6, Feixiao will be able to use her Ultimate, allowing her to deal up to 12 hits attacks against a single enemy, alternating between dealing extra damage against enemy not weakness broken or dealing extra damage against enemy that had their weakness broken already.
Trace Priorities
Feixiao is a main DPS character with a heavy emphasis on dealing Follow Up Attacks and Ultimate damage to a single enemy whenever someone in the team deals damage, therefore, the levels of Feixiao’s traces will affect her damage output a lot.
Feixiao’s main damage output comes from her Follow Up Attack, which can be triggered through her Talent, and from her Ultimate. So players need to prioritize leveling up these two traces. For extra damage, players should also level up Feixiao’s Skill. The higher Feixiao’s trace level is, the more damage she will deal
Overall, in terms of priorities, Players should prioritize leveling up Feixiao’s traces in this order: Talent > Ultimate > Skill = Normal Attacks.
Bonus Abilities
All three of Feixiao’s bonus abilities are crucial for her to make a strong Main DPS for the Follow Up Attack Team:
- Her 1st Bonus Ability grants her 3 stacks of her talent at the start and convert her follow up attack into a talent stack if it is not triggered on the last turn.
- Her 2nd Bonus Ability turns her Ultimate Damage into Follow Up Attack Damage and increases all of her Follow Up Attacks’ Crit Damage by 36%.
- Finally, her 3rd Bonus Ability makes it so that she will gain a massive 48% Attack boost for 3 turns after using her Skill.
Players should get all 3 of her Bonus Ability as soon as possible as they all contribute to Feixiao’s kit and her utility in battle.
Best Light Cones for Feixiao Builds
Feixiao Best in Slot Light Cone is of course, her signature Light Cone - I Venture Forth to Hunt - and the Light Cone will be rerun alongside Feixiao’s rerun banner in version 3.0
- I Venture Forth to Hunt (5-star Limited Light Cone):
Effect: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 15%. 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 dealt by the wearer to ignore 27% of the target's DEF. When the wearer's turn ends, remove 1 stack of "Luminflux."
For Alternative Lightcones, players should consider the following options if they can not give Feixiao her signature Light Cone:
- Baptism of Pure Thought (5-star Limited Light Cone):
Effect: Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 20%. For every debuff on the enemy target, the wearer's CRIT DMG dealt against this target increases by 8%, stacking up to 3 times. When using Ultimate to attack the enemy target, the wearer receives the Disputation effect, which increases DMG dealt by 60% and enables their follow-up attacks to ignore 24% of the target's DEF. This effect lasts for 2 turns
- Cruising in the Stellar Sea (5-star Free Light Cone):
Effect: Increases the wearer's CRIT rate by 8%, and increases their CRIT rate against enemies with HP less than or equal to 50% by an additional 8%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, increase their ATK by 20% for 2 turn(s).
Relics, Ornaments & Stats
Relics
For Feixiao’s best set of Relics, players should aim for a 4 piece The Wind-Soaring Valorous set, which is her best in slot Relic Set by far.
- The Wind-Soaring Valorous
2-Pc: ATK increases by 12%.
4-Pc: Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 6%. After the wearer uses a follow-up attack, increases the DMG dealt by their Ultimate by 30%, lasting for 1 turn(s).
Alternatively, players can opt for a 2 piece The Ashblazing Grand Duke relic set = 2 piece The Wind-Soaring Valorous.
- The Ashblazing Grand Duke
2-Pc: Increases follow-up attack DMG by 20%.
4-Pc: When the wearer uses follow-up attacks against the target enemy, increase the wearer's ATK by 6% for every time the follow-up attack deals DMG. This effect can stack for a maximum of 8 times and lasts for 3 turns. This effect is removed the next time the wearer uses a follow-up attack.
Ornaments
For Ornaments, Feixiao’s BiS Ornament set is her signature’s Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves, which boost her Follow Up Attack Damage every time she or an ally deals Follow Up Attacks and boost her Crit Damage by a massive amount when all Follow Up Attack stacks have been fulfilled.
- Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves
2-Pc: When allies use follow-up attacks, the wearer gains 1 stack of Merit, stacking up to 5 times. 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%.
Recommended Main & Sub Stats
For Main Stats, Players should aim for these main stats on their Relics & Ornaments:
- Body: Crit Rate/Crit Damage%
- Feet: Speed or Attack%
- Planar Sphere: Wind Damage Bonus%
- Link Rope: Attack%
For Sub Stats, Players should aim for these sub stats for all of Feixiao’s Relics & Ornaments Pieces:
Crit Rate% = Crit Damage% > Attack% > Speed > Attack > Other Stats.
It is important to note that there are a few stats benchmarks players should hit when building Feixiao in order to ensure that she can reach her fullest potential in battle:
- Players can build Feixiao fully Offensive by using an Attack% Feet on her OR you can build a decently fast Feixiao by putting Speed Feet on her.
- You should aim for a 1/2 Crit rate to Crit damage ratio, with a heavier emphasis on Crit Rate% as Feixiao will be run with supports that can boost her Crit Damage. Aim for Relics and Ornaments with all Crit Rate and Crit Damage stats as sub stats.
Best Feixiao Teams
As Feixiao is the prime Main DPS option for the Follow Up Attack team, she will be best when paired with other characters that help boost her damage output and also deal Follow Up Attacks to help her in battle:
- Feixiao Premium Follow Up Team: Feixiao + Robin + Topaz/Dr Ratio/Moze/March 7th (Hunt) + Aventurine/Lingsha.
Explanation:
- Main DPS: Feixiao serves as the Main DPS option in this team and is the one that will take advantage of all the buffs and debuffs from other characters in the team.
- Support 1: Robin is the best support option for Feixiao, as she will massively boost the Follow Up damage of Feixiao and boost her Crit Damage by a massive amount in addition to helping Feixiao deal extra damage.
- Sub DPS: In a Follow Up Attack team, having a secondary DPS to help trigger extra Follow Up Attacks is essential, therefore players can consider a sub DPS option among Topaz, Dr Ratio, Moze or March 7th (Hunt). It is important to note that if available, players should prioritize Topaz in this position.
- Sustain: For the sustain spot, players can consider between Aventurine or Lingsha. However, Aventurine is preferred thanks to his ability to constantly trigger his Follow Up Attacks.
Conclusion
The Lacking General of the Xianzhou Loufu and the strongest Follow Up Attack DPS character of the meta as of version 2.7, Feixiao is a phenomenal character with her ability to completely destroy the enemies and bosses with her high power Follow Up Attacks.
