Fu Xuan is a prominent character during the Trailblazer Quests in The Xianzhou Luofu, where she serves as the head of the Divination Commission. In addition to her significant role in the game's lore, she is also a formidable character that players can consider adding to their teams in Honkai: Star Rail.

As a Quantum Preservation character in Honkai: Star Rail, Fu Xuan, along with Lynx who has also been added to the roster under her banner in version 1.3 update, allows players to create a mono-Quantum team composition if they already have access to Silver Wolf, which can be paired with characters like Seele or Qingque. Furthermore, whether for a mono-element or multi-element team composition, players interested in tackling challenging content like Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster will find Fu Xuan highly valuable for enduring the opponent's powerful attacks.

Fu Xuan Best Relics In Honkai: Star Rail

Unlike other existing Preservation characters, Fu Xuan's abilities scale with HP instead of DEF, which offers players a new approach to building Preservation characters. However, this means that Fu Xuan may not benefit as much from Planar Ornaments like "Belobog of the Architects" or "Knight of Purity Palace," despite having higher DEF, which could provide more survivability. Instead, it is recommended that players focus on equipping either the 4-piece "Guard of Wuthering Snow" set or mix this set with "Longevous Disciple." While the 2-piece "Longevous Disciple" set can be beneficial for players who do not have a significant amount of HP through their main and sub stats, those with higher HP may prefer the full set of "Guard of Wuthering Snow."

When choosing Planar Ornaments for Fu Xuan, players can decide between "Broken Keel" and "Fleet of the Ageless," both of which offer support functionality by buffing ally stats while increasing Fu Xuan's stats at the same time. However, considering that Fu Xuan already obtains Effect RES through her ascension tree and "Broken Keel" itself, most players will find it easier to consistently activate the effect of this Planar Ornament. Additionally, having additional Effect RES will greatly benefit Fu Xuan by reducing the frequency of negative status effects from opponents, which can be crucial in challenging battles. On the other hand, those who plan to build Fu Xuan for speed (especially by using Speed boots instead of HP%) can make good use of "Fleet of the Ageless" instead.

For the main relic stats on Fu Xuan, it's generally recommended that players focus on HP% wherever applicable, except for the Link Rope relic, where Energy Regeneration is highly valuable to enable Fu Xuan to activate her Ultimate as often as possible. However, considering that Fu Xuan's Ultimate deals significant AoE damage, players who want to enhance her DPS capabilities may also consider focusing on Crit DMG for the Body piece, especially since she can increase her and her allies' Crit Rate and has Crit Rate ascension bonus stats. Nevertheless, since she primarily excels in damage mitigation, HP% will still be more suitable for most players.

As for the sub-stats, players should prioritize HP, Crit DMG, DEF, and Speed in this order to maximize Fu Xuan's effectiveness in combat.

Fu Xuan Best Light Cones In Honkai: Star Rail

Considering that Fu Xuan doesn't benefit significantly from DEF-focused light cones, players should prioritize Preservation light cones with other effects over DEF. The exception to this is "Moment of Victory", Gepard's signature light cone. However, players can better utilize other 5-star options, such as "She Already Shut Her Eyes," which is Fu Xuan's signature light cone. This light cone increases Fu Xuan's HP and Energy Regeneration rate, heals allies, and provides a damage bonus, making it the ideal choice.

For a free-to-play friendly 5-star option, players can consider "Texture of Memories," which is purchasable through Herta Store in the Simulated Universe. When max superimposed, this light cone significantly increases Fu Xuan's Effect Res, making her less susceptible to enemy debuff-related attacks. It also provides a shield based on her max HP, which can be valuable since Fu Xuan doesn't have access to generating shields on her own. On that note, players who are looking for a highly defensive option, can easily opt in for this light cone, instead of her signature to save on resources while still getting high value from a character's build.

Among the 4-star options, "Landau's Choice" is the best choice. It increases Fu Xuan's likelihood of being attacked while reducing the damage she takes. However, in battles where opponents primarily deal AoE damage, this may not be as significant. Players should consider their specific battle scenarios when choosing a light cone.

Fu Xuan Trace Priority In Honkai: Star Rail

All of Fu Xuan's traces, except for her Basic Attack, are quite valuable. Players are recommended to focus on her Ultimate and Skill first, with Talent and Basic Attack being a lower priority. This prioritization will allow Fu Xuan to maximize both her defensive and offensive support capabilities in combat.

• Ultimate = Skill
• Talent
• Basic Attack

Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
