Should You Pull Feixiao in Honkai Star Rail?
Sep. 10, 2024Feixiao is the strongest single-target DPS unit in Honkai Star Rail, and one of the strongest DPS units in the game, on par with Acheron. She is releasing in the first phase banner of Honkai Star Rail 2.5. If you are unsure of whether to pull for Feixiao in HSR 2.5, go through this article first and then make up your mind on it.
Honkai Star Rail Feixiao’s Kit
Feixiao has anextremely strong Follow-up attack-focused DPS kitwith the capability of doing multiple single-target attacks that destroy targets one by one. Unlike other characters, Feixiao gets her Ultimate recharged based on the number of attacks his allies make. This means that she can effectively spam her Ultimate almost every turn in the right team. Although she is a single target-focused character, as most Hunt units are, she can execute a high number of attacks each turn which allows her to be very effective against multiple enemies as well.
Her Talent Follow-up attack is triggered each time her allies attack a target, which is a ridiculous number of attacks for any character in the number. Another great mechanic in Feixiao’s kit is her Technique, which can literally round up enemies around her for 20 seconds, allowing her to fight them all at the same time while also dealing a set amount of damage to every enemy at the start of each wave.
Before you pull for Feixiao, you need to know how she fares against other strong DPS units in Honkai Star Rail. Let’s take a closer look at the comparison:
Feixiao is a hypercarry and she caneffectively work with most support and sustain units.However, to get the best out of her kit, she needs allies that deal a large number of attacks or buff Follow-up attack damage. The more an ally attacks, the more Feixiao also attacks and the quicker her Ultimate rechargers.She is the ultimate Follow-up attack character in the game.
Thebest Feixiao teamswill feature Robin, Topaz, Moze, Hunt March 7th, and Aventurine, as they either increase the Follow-up attack damage of allies, deal multiple attacks, or both to the enemy. Feixiao is alsovery F2P friendlyas characters likeHunt March 7th,Moze, and Xueyi can become an important asset for her.
No, Feixiao doesn’t need her signature Light Cone to be one of the strongest DPS unitsin the game. There are plenty ofgood Hunt Light Cones for Feixiaothat she can use, like Swordplay and Final Victor.
However,her Light Cone is extremely broken for Feixiaoand other Hunt Follow-up attack-focused characters in the game. The Light Cone significantly increases the Crit Rate and additionally allows the wearer to avoid almost 54% of the enemy’s defense when dealing Ultimate damage after using Follow-up attacks. I will recommend going for her Light Cone after pulling her if you have spare Stellar Jades.
Now that you know everything about Feixiao, here is a rundown of her strengths and weaknesses. Let’s take a look.
Feixiao’s Strength:
Feixiao’s Weaknesses:
Overall,Feixiao is a must-pullcharacter in my opinion. She is an extremely strong DPS unit and has the capability to out-damage enemies in almost all scenarios. Other than that, she is a Wind DPS unit, which doesn’t have many great DPS options to fall back to in the game. She will be a great addition to your roster and allow you to breeze through most of the hardest challenges in the game.
