Quick Links
While doing the main story of The Xianzhou Luofu, you’ll get to see the overseer of the Divination Commission multiple times inHonkai: Star Rail. She gets quite an intimidating introduction scene, making a lot of players excited for her official release as a playable character, which happened during the Version 1.3 update.

Fu Xuan is a five-star Quantum character who follows the path of Preservation. She excels at mitigating damage taken by your allies and healing herself whenever she loses too much health. With the right build, you can use her as a solo sustainer.
Best Relics And Planar Ornaments For Fu Xuan
Fu Xuan has quite a flexible kit since she has hints of Abundance and Harmony paths in her abilities as well. You haveplenty of choices for her Planar Ornaments based on your play style, but she lacks Relic choices currently. Here’s everything you’re able to use on her:
Relics
Four Piece Guard of Wuthering Snow
The two-piece of this set reduces your damage taken by eight percent, which is already great for Fu Xuan. However, ittruly shines when you use its four-piece and don’t have her signature Light Cone or ERR Rope.
Fu Xuan can take quite a long time to regenerate her Ultimate without these two items, which alsomakes her stack regeneration for auto-heal slow. The extra healing and Energy Regeneration from this set can help you there.
Two-Piece Longevous Disciple and Messenger Traversing Hackerspace
Other than the four-piece mentioned above, the only other good set for Fu Xuan is thecombination of two pieces of these two Relics. It increases your Max HP and SPD by 12 and 6 percent respectively.
Both these stats are fantastic for Fu Xuan since she scales on HP andSPD can help her regenerate Skill Points for your team much faster.
Planar Ornaments
Broken Keel
When it comes to Planar Ornaments,Broken Keel is by far Fu Xuan’s best in slot set. If you have 30 percent Effect RES with this set, she increases your party’s Crit DMG by 10 percent.
Thisstacks with the Crit Rate provided by her Skilland an extra 30 percent Crit DMG with her first Eidolon.
Fleet of the Ageless
If you don’t want to farm Broken Keel, Fleet of the Ageless can work similarly since it grants someATK bonus to your party members if you have over 120 SPD. It also gives her some extra HP.
Sprightly Vonwacq
Finally, Sprightly Vonwacq can be your go-to set if you’replanning to have HP Percent as the main stat on your Boots and Link Rope. This gives her some Energy Regeneration and advances her turn at the start of the battle.
You’ll be able to place your Matrix of Presciencemuch faster even without SPD Bootsif you have this set.
Fu Xuan has the most diversity when it comes to the choice of main stats on each Relic and Planar Ornament. You can build her in multiple ways, buthere are the best stats to prioritize for her gear:
HP (guaranteed)
ATK (guaranteed)
Link Rope
Energy Regeneration Rate / HP Percent
Choosing the main stat of Link Rope between Energy Regeneration Rate and HP Percent completely depends on your play style. Fu Xuan can alreadyregenerate extra Energy if you use her Skill while the Matrix of Prescience is active. You can easily have her Ultimate back in time if you play her turns properly.
However, if you want to use her as a solo sustainer and avoid risks, it’s better tohave an Energy Regeneration Rope to guarantee a good uptime on your Ultimate.
Best Light Cones For Fu Xuan
Fu Xuan’s Light Cone situation can also be a bit questionable in the current state of Honkai: Star Rail. As you’ll see in the table below, she has a ton of choices, butnone of these Light Cones perfectly synergize with herapart from the signature one. With that in mind, here are your best choices:
She Already Shut Her Eyes
Fu Xuan’s signature Light Cone gives her extra Max HP and Energy Regeneration Rate already,which allows you to use an HP Percent Link Rope. Moreover, it also gives some DMG bonus and health regeneration to the team, which is perfect for her as a solo sustainer.
Texture of Memories
This is a free-to-play five-star Light Cone that you’re able to buy from the Herta Shop. It increases her Effect RES by eight percent, which works well if you’re using the Broken Keel Ornament set. Moreover, it grants her a shield whenever she gets attacked without a shield.
This shield lasts for two turns and reduces the DMG she takes,making her even more tanky.
Landau’s Choice
Landau’s Choice is a simple Light Cone that makes Fu Xuanmore likely to get attacked and reduces the DMG taken by her. This is the best in slot four-star Light Cone for her, but you wouldn’t want to use it if you’re using her with Blade or Clara.
Moment of Victory
This is another five-star Light Cone that increases your DEF and chances of getting attacked.If you get attacked, it increases your DEF even more. The Effect Hit Rate stat is useless for Fu Xuan, but she can use some DEF.
However, one positive of using this Light Cone on Fu Xuan isthe higher base HP than any other four-star Light Cone.
Day One of My New Life
This Light Cone can be quite a decent all-rounder for Fu Xuan since itgives her extra DEF while also increasing all-type RES of your entire party. This RES increase stacks with the DMG reduction in her kit as well.
Defense
Finally, this three-star Light Cone lets Fu Xuan restore some HP after she uses her Ultimate, which also gives her a stack for the auto-heal. It’s your best choice for the early gameuntil you get one of the above Light Cones.
Fu Xuan Traces Overview And Priority
It can be a little complicated to understand Fu Xuan’s traces at first,but it gets much easier when you start using her. Here’s a simple explanation of what these traces do:
Novaburst
Basic Attack
Deals Quantum DMG to one enemybased on Fu Xuan Max HP.
Known by Stars, Shown by Hearts
Skill
Creates a Matrix of Prescience on the field, whichabsorbs 65 percent of an ally’s DMG taken and transfers it to Fu Xuan(before it gets absorbed by a shield).
Moreover, when this field is active, characters’Max HP and Crit Rate are increased based on the Skill level.
Woes of Many Morphed to One
Ultimate
Deals high Quantum DMG to all enemies on the field based on Fu Xuan’s Max HP andgives her one stack of auto-heal.
Bleak Breeds Bliss
Talent
When Fu Xuan is on the field, all allies take less DMG based on the Talent’s level. Moreover, if Fu Xuan’s HP falls below 50 percent, sheinstantly regenerates her HP if she has a stack.
Fu Xuanstarts the battle with one stackand, as mentioned above, gains one more whenever she triggers her Ultimate.
Of Fortune Comes Fate
Technique
Creates a barrier around team members in the open world thatblocks all attacks from the enemies for 20 seconds. When you enter battle with this barrier active, Matrix of Prescience is created for two turns.
Taiyi, the Macrocosmic
Bonus Ability
Fu Xuan regenerates20 extra Energy if she triggers her Skillwhen the Matrix of Prescience is already active.
Dunjia, the Metamystic
Fu Xuan’s Ultimateheals other alliesby five percent of her Max HP plus 133.
Liuren, the Sexagenary
When the Matrix of Prescience is active, all allies avoid one crowd-control debuffplaced on them during the same enemy turn. This effect refreshes whenever a new Matrix is placed.
Once you acquire Fu Xuan on your account,the first trace you’d want to upgrade is her Skill. The extra HP and Crit Rate are far too good to pass on, especially for your Harmony and DPS characters respectively. After that, you can work on her Talent since it reduces the DMG taken by your allies even further.
Finally, you’re able to upgrade her Ultimate and Bonus Abilities whenever you get a chance. Upgrading the Ultimateonly increases her damage, which isn’t as necessary since she’s a sustainer.
Is Fu Xuan Worth Pulling?
After using Fu Xuan even in her trial, you’ll already be able to tell thatshe’s by far the most fun Preservation unit to play. However, making her a solo sustainer on your team can be much harder than a shielder like Gepard or a healer like Luocha. You’ll still need another healer in Swarm Disaster no matter what.
If your account is lacking sustainers since you needat least two for Forgotten Halls, Fu Xuan is definitely a great character to have. Moreover, if you’re thinking about getting some of her Eidolons, the second one can be a good place to stop since she’ll get the best buffs already.
You can go for the sixth Eidolon to use Fu Xuan as a semi-DPS character, but it’snot worth the money you’ll be spending.
