Best Light Cones
I Venture Forth to Hunt
I Venture Forth to Hunt is a superior Light Cone for Feixiao.
This Light Cone increases Feixiao’s Crit Rate by 15%. After executing a follow-up attack, the wearer earns up to 2 stacks of Luminflux, each enhancing Ultimate DMG while bypassing 27% of the target’s DEF. One stack is lost at the end of the turn.
Worrisome, Blissful
Worrisome Blissful serves as a strong alternative for Feixiao.
Equipping this Light Cone boosts Crit Rate by 18% and follow-up attack damage by 30%. After a follow-up attack, it applies the Tame state to a target, stacking up to 2 times. Allies attacking Tame-affected targets gain a 12% Crit DMG boost.
Best Relic and Ornament Set
The Wind-Soaring Valorous is the ultimate Relic set for Feixiao.
Relic
Feixiao’s best Relic set in Honkai Star Rail is The Wind Soaring Valorous. The bonuses are as follows:
| Set piece | Set Bonus |
|---|---|
| 2-pc | ATK increases by 12%. |
| 4-pc | Crit Rate increases by 6%. After a follow-up attack, Ultimate DMG is boosted by 30% for 1 turn. |
Ornament
The ideal Ornament set for Feixiao is Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves. Its set bonus details are as follows:
| Set Piece | Set Bonus |
|---|---|
| 2-pc | Every follow-up attack by allies grants the wearer 1 stack of Merit, up to 5 times. Each stack boosts follow-up attack DMG by 5%, and at 5 stacks, Crit DMG increases by 25%. |
Ascension and Trace Level-Up Materials
Ascension
Feixiao’s ascension requires Artifex’s Module and its upgrades, and A Glass of the Besotted Era. The specific quantities are:
- Artist’s Module x15
- Artisan’s Cogwheel x15
- Artist’s Gyreheart x15
- A Glass of the Besotted Era x65
Traces
For Feixiao’s Traces, you need Artifex’s Module and its upgrades, Meteoric Bullet and its upgrades, and Regret of Infinite Ochema. The total materials required are:
- Meteoric Bullet x18
- Destined Expiration x69
- Countertemporal Shot x139
- Artifex’s Module x41
- Artifex’s Cogwheel x56
- Artifex’s Gyreheart x58
- Regret of Infinite Ochema x12
Best Feixiao Team Composition
Key units to pair with Feixiao include Robin, Topaz, and Aventurine. As a follow-up unit, Feixiao works excellently with these characters, enabling consecutive attacks through their abilities.
Robin acts as the primary buffer in this team composition, being the best support for any follow-up character.
Pairing Feixiao with Robin and Topaz is highly effective.
If you need an alternative, Ruan Mei can replace Robin, though it is less optimal. Successful follow-up teams require significant investment; units like Topaz and Aventurine are crucial for best synergy.
If you lack the recommended units, consider pairing Feixiao with Herta and Imaginary March 7th to initiate follow-up attacks.
