Should you pull Feixiao in Honkai: Star Rail 2.5?

Honkai: Star Rail version 2.5 introduces the highly anticipated 5-star character, Feixiao. Her arrival in the game would even bring you free 1,000 Stellar Jades when the update drops. So let’s break down Feixiao’s abilities and see if she’s the right fit for your team.

Why Feixiao?

Feixiao, the General of Xianzhou Yaoqing, follows the Hunt combat path and deals Wind damage. As a DPS unit, she’s designed to hit hard and frequently, especially with her ability to deliver follow-up attacks. If you’re on the lookout for a strong Wind-based damage dealer, Feixiao could be just what you need.

If your team is lacking a Wind DPS character who can deliver big damage numbers with follow-up attacks, Feixiao should be on your radar. Her skills are well-tailored for players who enjoy maximizing damage output with strategic attacks.

Feixiao’s kit explained

Feixiao’s basic attack, Boltsunder, deals Wind damage to a single enemy. Things get more interesting with her skill, Waraxe, which also deals Wind damage to one target and triggers a follow-up attack through her Talent, Thunderhunt.

Her Talent is what sets her apart. With every two attacks by any member of your team, Feixiao gains a stack of Flying Aureus. Once she accumulates six stacks, her Ultimate ability, Terrasplit, becomes active. This Ultimate deals massive Wind damage to a single enemy, while reducing its Toughness, even if it doesn’t match the enemy’s Weakness.

If the Weakness Break isn’t triggered, her Weakness Break Efficiency increases, and she continues to deal Wind damage. Her Ultimate is designed to make her a reliable damage dealer in almost any battle scenario.

So, should you pull for her?

If your team needs a solid DPS unit, Feixiao is an excellent choice. Her ability to deliver Wind damage consistently, combined with her follow-up attacks, will make her a strong addition to most teams. Building her isn’t difficult either, as she primarily benefits from stats like CRIT or ATK.

You won’t need to worry about farming new Relics in version 2.5, since none are debuting. Older DPS-oriented Relics will work just fine, and you can start farming now to prepare for her release.

Final thoughts

Feixiao’s arrival in Honkai: Star Rail version 2.5 is highly anticipated, and for good reason. If you’re looking for a powerful DPS character to round out your team, she’s definitely worth pulling for. Just make sure you’re ready with the right materials when she drops! Conveniently, yours truly has a guide ready to help you pre-farm for her.
