Talent – Karmic Perpetuation: When Xueyi decreases an enemy’s Toughness through her attacks, Karma will accumulate. The amount of Karma stacks will increase based on the extent of Toughness reduction, with a maximum of 8 stacks. Additionally, every time Xueyi’s allies reduce an enemy’s Toughness through attacks, she will gain 1 stack of Karma. Once the maximum number of Karma stacks is reached, Xueyi will immediately launch a counterattack against a random enemy, dealing damage three times. Each hit will inflict Quantum damage equal to 90% of Xueyi’s ATK. This counterattack will not add any additional Karma stacks.
The technique known as Summary Execution involves a swift attack on the enemy. Upon initiating combat, it inflicts 80% of Xueyi’s ATK as Quantum DMG on all enemies.

Best Xueyi Team Composition in Honkai Star Rail

Xueyi’s potential as a sub-DPS in battle is evident in her ability to deliver powerful follow-up attacks. She would thrive alongside teammates like Jingliu, Ruan Mei, and Huohuo, as this team composition would effectively trigger Xueyi’s follow-up attacks through Weakness Breaks.

Xueyi will collaborate with Seele, Silver Wolf, and Fu Xuan in a Mono-Quantum team. With the help of Silver Wolf’s ability to exploit Quantum weaknesses, Xueyi’s subsequent attacks will become more frequent.
