During the first versions of Honkai Star Rail, especially when the Astras Express crew helped The Xianzhou Luofu, the other generals and ships of the alliance appeared briefly. However, it was not until update 2.4 that we met other generals of the Xianzhou Alliance. The one who got the brightest spotlight was Feixiao, the strongest leader of the Hexafleet and who became playable in patch 2.5. Feixiao gained popularity for obvious reasons, but with a balanced build and team, she became one of the best DPS in Honkai Star Rail. So if the Lacking General appears in the banners, it’s 100% worth pulling for her.
Feixiao’s Gameplay Style Explained
Feixiao is an amazing DPS character to keep going those Follow-Up teams as her Ultimate counts as a Follow-Up, allowing her to get stacks and great buffs. Her gameplay is similar to Acheron, but for her Hunt Path, she is the best option when dealing with a single target like a challenging boss, as she has an incredible DMG output.
Best Light Cones
As Feixiao is a DPS, you must help her get the maximum of her CRIT Rate/DMG stats, so I Venture Forth to Hunt, the best light cone in Honkai: Star Rail for this General. You also have other alternatives like:
| I Venture Forth to Hunt (5-Star) | The signature Ligh Cone of Feixiao will increase her CRIT Rate and the Luminflux effect after using Ultimate. So that she will get 2 stacks, ignoring a significant portion of the enemy’s DEF. |
| Cruising in the Stellar Sea (5-star) | It gives an ATK% buff active and allows her to reach 100% CRIT Rate until you defeat an enemy. This is great LC, as you can get it from Herta’s Shop. |
| Swordplay (4-Star) | It helps to stack its DMG boost with Feixiao’s ability to attack multiple times at the same target. However, its effect disappears once Feixiao changes objectives. This is a good and easy-to-get 4-star alternative. |
Best Relics
A full set of The Wind-Soaring Valorous will improve her ATK, Ultimate DMG, and Crit Rate, which are her main stats, and will also allow her to activate her Skills and Ultimate more frequently, making it your best choice. The Ashblazing Grand Duke also improves her Follow-Up DMG and makes it easier to get Feixiao stacks. For this foxian, you should look up these stats for each piece:
| Body Piece | CRIT DMG/CRIT Rate—You should focus on getting the CRIT Rate, as her Traces increase her CRIT DMG. |
| Feet Piece | ATK/SPD – If you have good Support, like Robin, it’s better to look for ATK. |
| Planar Sphere | Wind DMG/ATK – It’s better to get Wind DMG, as her Link Rope needs more ATK. |
| Link Rope | ATK – This will give a buff for Feixiao attacks. |
Team Composition
A character not only stands out in Honkai Star Rail because of their build, but it is also essential to analyze your roster to create an ideal team, and for Feixiao, these are some of the best alternatives for your strategy:
| Premium | F2P |
|---|---|
| Feixiao – DPS Topaz – Sub-DPS Robin – Support Aventurine – Tank | Feixiao – DPS March 7th (Hunt) – Sub-DPS Bronya – Support Gallagher – Healer |
Feixiao is a character focused on Follow-ups attacks, so it’s better to use her with partners with this same mechanic, such as Topaz. Aventurine is the ideal Tank for this type of character, while Robin is one of the best Supports and will benefit your team a lot because of her buff and because she will advance your team’s turn.
If your team composition is suited to the F2P option, you should know that March 7th (Hunt/Imaginary) is a great help for Feixiao because he also has Follow-up attacks. Bronya, although she is not the best support like Robin, offers decent buffs, and Gallagher provides a debuff as he can also advance his turn.
Closing Tips
It is important to note these details about the Lacking General once you are on the battlefield:
- Feixiao needs to stack Flying Aureus, which she can get when the other members of her team attack enemies. The General can have a max of 12 stacks, but she needs only 6 to use her Ultimate.
- Use Boltsunder Blitz on Weakness Broken enemies and Waraxe Skywardfor enemies who daren’t Broken.
- Feixiao’s Technique deals Wind DMG where you start the combat, but the amount of damage depends on how many enemies you trapped before the combat.
Feixiao is, without a doubt, a formidable DPS in Honkai Star Rail, which, although her build works much better with 5-star characters, is not limited, and you can also make team compositions for her with excellent 4-star units. Of course, she will need you to focus on her Crit Rate/DMG stats, which could cost you a lot of Trailblaze Power or use your precious Self-Modeling Resin.
