OMG, the wait is almost over, Trailblazers! HoYoverse just dropped the full tea ☕ on Feixiao's kit, and let me tell you, this Seven Arbiter General is about to become the meta-defining Wind DPS we've all been waiting for. I've been low-key obsessed since she appeared in the story, and now seeing her full potential... it's giving main DPS energy, period.

With her official release confirmed for the first phase of Version 5.1 (around September 10, 2026), alongside Lingsha, it's time to start planning those stellar jade savings. Is she worth it? After analyzing her kit, my verdict is a resounding YES, especially if you need a powerhouse for Memory of Chaos or Pure Fiction. Let's break it down.

✨ Feixiao's Core Kit & Playstyle

Feixiao is a 5-star Wind Destruction character, and her entire playstyle revolves around building and consuming Flying Aureus stacks to unleash her devastating Ultimate. Think of her as a hyper-carry who wants the whole team to feed her energy.

• Basic Attack (Sky-Soaring Blade): Standard single-target Wind DMG. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

• Skill (Waraxe): Deals Wind DMG to a single enemy and instantly triggers one follow-up attack from her Talent. This is key for generating stacks!

• Ultimate (Terrasplit): This is where the magic happens! It's a single-target nuke with two parts: Boltsunder Blitz and Waraxe Skyward.

  • Deals massive Wind DMG and reduces the target's Toughness regardless of Weakness Type. Yep, you read that right—universal Toughness reduction! That's insane for breaking those pesky non-Wind-weak elites.

  • If the enemy is NOT Weakness Broken, her Break Efficiency increases, and the damage multiplier gets a huge boost. She literally hits harder on healthy enemies!

• Talent (Flying Aureus): This is her engine. Feixiao gains 1 Flying Aureus stack for every 2 attacks her teammates perform. Once she reaches the required stacks (leaks suggest 6), she can use her Ultimate without spending Energy. Her Skill also lets her launch a follow-up attack after an ally attacks, once per turn. It's all about team synergy!

• Technique (Onrush): Activate before battle to enter a state where she pulls enemies, boosts her SPD, and gains a starting Flying Aureus stack. If you attack in this state, you deal Wind DMG to all enemies at the start of the fight. Perfect for clearing mobs fast!

🔥 Why Feixiao is S-Tier DPS Material

Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Everyone is comparing her to Acheron because both have unique Ultimate mechanics that don't use traditional Energy. But here's the tea:

• Feixiao's team-building is more flexible. She just needs teammates who attack fast and frequently to feed her stacks. No specific Path restrictions like Acheron's Nihility requirements.

• Her universal Toughness break is a game-changer. This utility alone makes her viable in way more scenarios.

• Her damage potential is off the charts, especially against bosses that aren't Weakness Broken. She scales incredibly well with investment.

🤝 Best Teammates & Synergies

Building the right team around Feixiao is crucial to maximize her stack generation and damage. Here are my top picks:

Character	Path	Why They're Great with Feixiao
Robin	Harmony	THE BEST SUPPORT for her! Robin's Ultimate makes allies' actions advance forward and provides a massive DMG boost. More team turns = more attacks = more Flying Aureus stacks for Feixiao. It's a match made in heaven.
Sparkle	Harmony	Provides tons of Skill Points (SP) so Feixiao can spam her Skill, and her Crit DMG buffs are chef's kiss. Also advances Feixiao's action.
HuoHuo	Abundance	Heals, cleanses, and provides an Energy regeneration buff for the whole team, helping other supports use their Ults more often to enable Feixiao.
Asta	Harmony	A fantastic 4-star option. Her SPD boost means your whole team gets more turns, generating stacks faster. Her ATK buff is also solid.
Pela	Nihility	Defenses shred is always valuable. She uses her Skill frequently, which counts as two attacks for Feixiao's stacks, and her Ultimate is low-cost.

Team Example: Feixiao (DPS), Robin (Buffer), HuoHuo (Sustain), Pela/Flex (Debuffer). This team has everything: buffs, debuffs, healing, and insane turn frequency.

💎 Should You Pull for Feixiao?

Pull if you:

• Need a top-tier Wind DPS (sorry, Blade stans, power creep is real in 2026).

• Love her design and lore as a Seven Arbiter General.

• Have built supports like Robin or Sparkle to enable her.

• Want a versatile unit that excels in both single-target and, with her Technique, some AoE scenarios.

• Are struggling with non-Wind-weak enemies in endgame content.

Maybe skip if:

• You already have a heavily invested, E6S5 Wind DPS that clears all content.

• You are strictly saving for another upcoming character (the Fontaine arc characters are looking spicy!).

• You lack the core support units to make her truly shine.

🎯 Final Verdict

Feixiao is shaping up to be an absolute monster in the meta. Her kit is not only powerful but also engaging to play, requiring smart team rotation to maximize her potential. The synergy with Robin is particularly noteworthy and makes pulling for her in the 5.1 Phase 1 banner an even sweeter deal.

Start farming those Wind Ascension mats and saving those jades! Her release is just around the corner, and I, for one, am ready to welcome our new Wind DPS queen. See you on the Astral Express! 🚂💨
