Right now I’m running E2S1 Fei, E0S1 Ash, E1S0 Robin, and E0S0 DHPT. Would grabbing hyacine and then blade be a huge upgrade? I’m also F2P

To keep it breif with Ashveil's rerun around the corner should I pull him for my E2S1*(Ratio LC) Feixiao? Im already running her wth E1S1 DHPT, E2S1Cipher, and E2S1 Robin. The question Im asking is would he substantial in replacing Cipher if I pull him E1S1? Or should I just invest more vertical in my Fei's current team? I don't really like him, but Im willing to pull him if he provides worthwhile value to the team.

I only recently returned to HSR and my Feixiao is struggling to clear. I was curious whether Ashveil is worth replacing M7H in my situation. I know that Ashveil is generally better, but the shifu speed buff pushes my Feixiao from 146 to 161 speed, which is apparently a speed breakpoint. I do not know much about breakpoints. Is it worth it to get Ashveil?

Team is Feixiao, Robin, M7H, and Aventurine/DHPT, depending on how aggressive the enemy is.

Hey everyone!

I came back after a long long pause i logged on here and there from time to time but haven't really played in a long time.

I have an Old Feixiao team that is Feixiao E1S1 - Topaz E0S0 - Robin E0S0 - Aventurine E0S0

My question is as followed i still like her and want to invest horizontally and vertically in her what are the top priority units i need?

Hi guys, my current team is Feixiao E0S0, March 7th E6 with Swordplay S2, Robin E0S0 and Gallagher E2 with QPQ S3.

Lost the 50/50 on DHPT :( With the current Aventurine banner and the upcoming 4.5 banner featuring some pretty good characters like Ashveil and Hyacine, just thinking which would be good for my team? Might only be able to get 1 of them tbh…

Explanation and Conclusion

When it comes to her Ultimate’s Boltsunder Blitz and Waraxe Skyward, I hope I am not the only one that noticed them literally being the same, as in same scaling and amping, despite having a supposed distinction, which is if the enemy is or is not Weakness Broken. It is as if they mainly exist as Feixiao’s ‘cool factor’—to make her have more ‘cool points.’ 

So, what was said above is the primary reason as to why this Novaflare of Feixiao’s came into being. With this Novaflare, the scaling of Boltsunder Blitz and Waraxe Skyward may remain the same, but they, under the right condition, will deal their own Additional DMG—with Boltsunder Blitz dealing Additional Wind DMG that is buffed by FUA-related buffs and Waraxe Skyward dealing Additional True DMG. The Ultimate, if the ‘OG’ enemy got KO'd, is able to switch between enemies, with the highest HP enemy being prioritized—this is if the ‘OG’ enemy is ‘KO-d.’ The Talent’s FUA also prioritizes the said enemy. Since this is a Novaflare, Feixiao’s scalings and self-buffs have increased in potency, with the said self-buffs also increasing in number, and that is due to the technically gained All-Type RES PEN buff. 

As for the major traces, A4 is where Feixiao’s status as a Main DPS is resolidified as she gives an unorthodox buff to her allies, and that is her technically buffing their FUA by making it her own FUA, which results in the said FUA gaining the A4’s FUA-only buffs. The Talent’s FUA will be launched alongside the ‘made into my own’ FUA of her allies, which helps with the whole ‘Ultimate battery’ as they give Feixiao 2 Flying Aureus points. Going back to the Ultimate, specifically its final hit, the A6 makes it so that when it is dealt, Feixiao action advances herself and her allies, with it being based on her Flying Aureus reserve, i.e., the points that were not used when using the Ultimate. 

Overall, to admit, this Novaflare is mostly a ‘beefing up’ kind of buff for Feixiao, with it having a focus on the Ultimate’s 2 properly distinct instances of attack. Even then, the few QoL it gave are noticeably impactful—from enemy switching to the conditional action advance. With that being said, which unfortunate malediction will be at the mercy of Feixiao’s eager and ever-sharpened claws?
