7:14 Her LC increases your team damage, not reduce their damage taken so her LC just add more to the Harmony part of her

Dehya walked, stumbled and fell flat on her face so fu xuan could run her over

Fu Xuan is basically what Dehya could've been if the Devs at Genshin weren't having brain damage when designing her

Honestly, my favorite part of Fu Xuan's kit is that's she kind of a subversion of the idea that a small cute mage = squishy. But nah, she's an absolute tank using her magic to protect, and I think that's such a cool idea.

Fu Xuan is quite literally the reason i decided to play star rail LMAO i remember seeing that cutscene where she deflects Kafka’s bullets when it first got leaked and i immediately knew right then and there that she WOULD be mine ✨💖✨

it's frustrating seeing how good Fu Xuan is compared to Dehya when they have the same basic kit and yet Dehya is still leagues behind; literally all they had to do for Dehya was either full dmg-mitigation for her to act as the sole tank for the team, or make her passive a team-heal not only did they get the defensive aspect of Fu Xuan's kit on point, but the also got the offensive side of it great as well, making Dehya's failure on both accounts even more pathetic; I still think Dehya is gonna have the Kuki/Kokomi treatment with upcoming Fontaine characters, but it's such bad marketing and planning to retroactively "buff" a character so long after release, AFTER all the reputational damage has already passed a recoverable threshold

at this rate I'm excited to see what the first limited 5-star harmony unit is going to be like, because anything that can do to Bronya what Fu Xuan did to Gepard is going to be _bonkers_

Thought i was gonna skip Dan Feng for Fu Xuan but damnit i pulled for him and ill pull for her too

Devs really made her a harmony, presevation, and abundance since they just released 3 damage dealers back to back, and no limited harmony/preservation

The sheer amount of damage mitigation on her is insane. It effectively means that each of your teammates has around 4-4.5 times the amount of max HP for the purposes of tanking nukes. This also makes her ascension passive healing do more than it would appear, as that 5% HP healing is equivalent to 20% HP healing without the mitigation.

So happy to see that the mono quantum team is working so well with these new characters, especially Fu Xuan. As much as Silverwolf and Seele are busted together, it´s so annoying when you apply the wrong weakness, like 4 times in a row ... Lynx and Fu Xuan especially really take up the right roles in this Team. I wonder if this Team gonna be Meta and for how long. The only downside of this Team is that Seele is single-target, which also means that her damage ceiling is not that high compared to AOE damage dealers with busted numbers.

every star rail limited character so far but jing yuan has been OP. Hell jing might become op if they add a follow up attack boosting relic set

I’ll probably get her on her rerun. I already have Gepard and my Natasha is pretty good. I want Topaz a bit more due to the leaks I’ve seen and how well she will work with my units.

Gonna pull on Fu Xuan's banner, but MOSTLY so I can get Lynx. I have Gepard and I need another healer (as in ANY other healer, I've still only got Natasha) more than I need another tank. I won't complain if I do get Fu Xuan though, I'd love to be able to make a mono Quantum team.

Gepard will still be go to unit for the Preservation path in SU. Luv watching enemies hit themselves to death

You likely won't need a shield/healer as while the chip damage adds up over time, it take an incredibly large amount of damage to actually affect your team in any meaningful way. Unless you're going in to Swarm Disaster Difficulty five and avoiding all self-healing blessings, your team should live more than long enough to kill any enemy.

I loved her since the first time I saw her so farmed so I could get her with all her traces maxed on day one as well her signature lightcone, I'm not a whale, no eidolons, just her lightcone and I must say... she's really strong, I was able to 3 star MoC 10 without a healer, it was just Fu Xuan, Seele, Silverwolf and Bronya I'm really happy to have her on my team

one important thing to really point out about star rail and power creep as a whole, is that so far power creep hasnt made other unit un playable. every character for the most part can clear everything in the game, and thats mainly due to how the base mechanics of the game, break, support funneling, and mit vs healing play a role in every fight. These OP character just make the game easier, but they def arent a requirement, which is why I love star rail so much more than genshin.

"gepard tends to need to be accompanied by a healer" "his shielding is overkill for 95% of the game" can you make up your mind?

Also, her DR and damage sharing is so high, she effectively makes her team almost 4 times tankier, seele with 2700 hp, has a value of 9450, and so her healing too has that value

I must stay strong for Jingliu I must stay strong for Jingliu I must stay strong for Jingliu

U mentioned that u need to run a healer with gepard is the biggest cap I've ever seen 😭. He's such a good solo sustain unit and unless u are doing the swarm disaster diff 5 u really don't need to run a healer in his team unless u need cleanse from an external source

I just want to point 3 things 1. Blade was made keeping in mind a balance of as an skill point economic survivability and damage in mind so makes sense he does less dmg. 2. Kafka is focused on big DoT dmg so she can deal excelent amounts of damage even when it's not her turn 3. IL Dan is broken but at least you need a skill point positive team and combined w bronya can make you go from 5 sp to 0 in one buff if she even counting bronya's c1 activation

The real problem is unity and it's policy

I was waiting for the obligatory Dehya mention 😂 And there it is at 8:38 They really did the Flamemane very, very dirty

seele ✅ lynx ✅ fuxuan ✅ all im missing is silver wolf

As a Clara main I b-lined fu xuan

Got her. Hadn't prefarmed enough to go past 70, nor do I have amazing relics or traces, but damn she feels great.

Got fu xuan for the mono quantum. Defo super worth, consistent silver wolf procs are just great to have.

So who’s up for calling Fu Xuan’s signature Light Cone the “Sashe?”😆. I’d prefer getting Lynx right now but my pity is in the trash can, all I’m getting is 4-star light cones.

With her rerun coming up, I'm hoping to pick her up. Don't have Luocha or HuoHuo, so while I am able to do most things in the game with Bailu/Lynx/Gepard, they usually have their work cut out for them. Though before I think about FuXuan, I need Sparkle to hurry up and drop. I'll really need to get lucky to get enough pulls for FX, as well as need to win the 50/50. If I don't get her or lose the 50/50, I may have to just save for Luocha or HuoHuo rerun, but I would really prefer FuXuan; I like the way she works more, and she would go towards a possible mono-quantum team.

I don't need her... I don't need her... I genuinely don't need her... (I need her)

After extensive testing she does have ONE weakness, and it can be accounted for just by having someone who can cleanse in the team. She can get overwhelmed by non-crowd control stacking DOT's (ignite, bleed, windshear) hitting multiple party members and enemy AOE spam since she can end up eating a metric boatload of damage that would have otherwise been spread out over the entire team. She's got 3 times the health of any other character except maybe Bailu, but if things are left to stack up she can go from fine to wrecked before her ult comes back (she doesn't get energy if SHE isn't hit) and then the rest of her team is usually quick to follow. It's no coincidence that she was released along with Lynx, who can buff max health (making her everything better) and do a party wide cleanse with her ult. Can't test how well that works though...weird luck, I lady Fu to E1 (and hook to E 12, probably at this point) but have yet to pull Lynx.

Man I’ve been anxiously saving since blade for her. Gonna run blade, lynx, fu xuan and bronya together. I def wanna play mono quantum but this team i feel will give me more mileage considering she’s going to be giving blade even more max hp and lynx can make blade pull more aggro. Im so hyped, going for e1 s1 hopefully

We really did get smarter with characters kits after two and a half years of genshin 😂😂

I predicted this happening from pretty much day 1. I've played enough RPGs to recognize that eventually, versatility and unique mechanics are gonna rule the game and straightforward characters that fulfill a single role are gonna fall off very quickly. Even day 1 you saw a lot of people clowning on Hunt and Erudition characters because Nihility could do damage too, but they provided additional utility on top of that damage. Gepard, who pretty much only shields, and Bailu, who pretty much only heals (and doesn't even have a cleanse), were bound to get powercrept nearly instantly the moment that limited characters came out that could do the same thing but provide some additional utility, giving them more versatility. Also, while it might not seem that way as much for now, base stats=multipliers>>>>>>>>>>self buffs. As more stronger Harmony (and Nihility) characters come out, buffs and debuffs from lower tier characters are going to be drowned out. You can already see this in sim universe, where some harmony characters perform worse than others because the stats they give are drowned out by the blessings you get. It's one of the reasons why Yanqing, who was considered decently strong early game, got dropped by the wayside so easily. He gets so many self buffs to compensate for his low baseline, but any external buffs you give him are just gonna get drowned out by his own self buffs and barely have any noticeable effect. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if in 3 or so years from now, DanIL is going to be in the same boat, where he's just considered mediocre because he only gets half the effect from the new Harmony character that buffs your CDMG by 300% and your DMG% by 200%. I hope that's an exaggeration of course, but I've seen enough of these kinds of RPGs evolve into that kind of monstrosity over time. Ironically at that point, sometimes single-purpose characters loop back around and become useful again. Star Rail's version of Gorou combined with Gepard might be your only hope of tanking the new bosses that come out, for example. Or maybe we'll get characters that can mitigate 1 instance of damage, like that Curio from sim universe or the Automaton Beetles, and you're going to need to time that to tank the new enemy boss that deals 500k dmg in AoE. We'll get a new limited 5* that can consistently apply that to your whole team, and a crappy single target version of that ability for free, which will guarantee that F2P people will defend that gameplay design choice despite the fact that it's a blatant cash grab. Anyways, I'm getting off-topic. TL;DR versatility and raw base stats/multipliers have the biggest chance to last longer, self-buffs and characters that only do 1 thing fall off relatively quickly.

I think Gepard's freeze doesn't get enough credit. Gepard's shield is overkill, so you can easily go for Effect Hit Rate on him and still have such a massive shield every 2 turns (if you have enough ER). And freeze is very usefull to get in more turns, and helps DoT users to get in even more dmg, since it procs both on the freeze turn, and soon after during the actual turn. To be clear, Fu Xuan is better option on 90% of situations, but in teams gepard works, i don't think the difference between is that big, its like going from "broken" to "very broken" She seems much more versitile tho, both for Clara and possible future Destruction units, since she doesn't taunt. Gepards taunt honestly doesn't match well with his beefy shield, i would much rather prefer if everyone got hit equaly so it spreads out the dmg, but when he taunts enemies to himself, the unit next to him gets attacked so much by AoE dmg while the ones away from him, do not.

Must resist the urge and pull DPS for different elements

Thanks Vars, you talked me into pulling for her, although i JUST got Gepard in the standard banner -.- Great Vid!

I’m definitely interested in getting her after Acheron and Jingliu. And I think it’s pretty obvious why the genshin devs treated Dehya just like they did….*cough* connect the dots *cough*.

was already gonna pull for her but seeing this video makes me happy lmao

I suspected that Fu Xuan is going to be pretty busted, and even tho im broke, only having 30 pulls, i hope i'll get lucky.

Kinda sucks how every character now will be powercrept in like 3 months or something

Me, who finally progressed in the game past the space station to get enough tickets to get my Departure Warp five-star and now has Gepard, while I'd been progressing to get enough jade and tickets to continue pulling for Fu Xuan (after getting a cracked luck of E1 for DH-IL, my first such even between here and Genshin), and feeling that much more okay that at least I have whom Fu Xuan is displacing~

Sparkle will give her such a boost @_@

5:57 Tl:DR; please don't pair Gepard with another healer, in 1.3 he doesn't need it to clear MoC, just give him the right investments if you are reading this and you are a new player, please don't take this seriously. Rn in 1.3, Gepard's perfectly capable of sustaining a team by himself in MoC. Fu Xuan can defo sustain better than him, but unless the devs make the enemies hit way harder than they do rn in 1.3, there should be no need for you to pair him with a healer. Give him the right investment and he'll fine, maybe not great, but he should be able to prevent your other characters from dying. Outside of swarm disaster, pairing Gepard with another sustain is redundant.

loving her so far 🤞🏻 she’s soo cute and her animations are great + i got her e1 i’ve been playing her with seele and bronya it’s amazing 🐱 getting my seele ratio from 89/151 to 100/200 without bronya ult and 100/250 with it (double of that planar set that gives u crit dmg for having effect res)

Fu xuan is a god sent for crit dps's in general specially for characters like our general and future follow up dps like topaz. Gepard is still gonna be a staple because honestly you don't have any problem sustaining characters in MoC even natasha can carry a team its more like the other added benefit of other character's utility can bring to the team, its like qiqi all over again. Gepard CC and solo sustain (good for dot teams), Fu xuan dmg mitigatio and crit bonuses(crit dps), natasha (instant reactive 1 person cleansing), Lynx (team wide but not as instant cleansing and free taunt), bailu (revive). in my opinion bailu is the one getting easily power crept for some reason, our dragon child catching strays from mihoyo

Saved since the beginning for Dan Heng and Fu Xuan and got them both. I’m definitely not complaining

I always compared Gepard to Zhongli: Shields your team beyond any necessity and does "the bonk" (tho Zhongli's 'bonk' "bonks" a little bonkier). Now Fu Xuan is like Zhongli, if Zhongli were of any element other than Geo . . . And concerning powercreep and carry-viability/ -rotation, i firmly believe that my girl Kafka will withstand the test of time. I mean, her damage scales off of her teammates'. For Kafka to "fall off" later into the game, Hoyo would have to 1. not release any new dot-based characters or 2. all the dot-based characters would have to be worse than the ones we have in the game right now. And none of these 2 things will happen. Right now we simply lack the teammates for Kafka to keep up with Dan Feng, but as time goes on, there will be better supplementary dot applicators, some tanks, some supports that apply dots while simultaneously buffing Kafka directly. Asta already kinda does that, as her basic attacks apply burn, and she buffs her teammates' ATK and SPD, or Luka providing both dots (bleed) and buffs in the vulnerability his ultimate and dispels with his ability bring to the table. Kafka will be fine. Blade and Dan Feng might rotate in and out of the meta pretty quickly, but that's only because they rely to much on themselves and don't have anything for their party members to work with.

Hey loved the vid, what's that song at the end credits though?

Ah yes, the gacha trope of Bulging Bags Of Sweat And Testosterone having comparable tankiness with a Girl Who Could Be Mistaken For Being Younger Than She Probably Is

I got her, and I'm really happy about it. I wanted her since the game came out too

Can’t wait for this game to have been out long enough for the WEOP & WNOP to start taking off

Seems like these 1.3 characters were made for Swarm Disaster......

I just did the MoC 10 without healer, the first team was Fu-Xuan, Seele, Silver Wolf and Tingyun. Yeah Fu-Xuan is busted as hell, i love here. (If you care second team was Kafka - Sampo - Asta - Bailu)

Fu xuan doesn't look like she can take a pounding but my god is she a trooper D:

The moment I got Seele and SW with their lightcones, my fate has been sealed to get her. I wish I"ll be able to get her

true mono quantum should have a harmony unit from a different element (preferably one that has a element who matches the enemy weakness) instead of lynx, so u can obtain more value from your DPS

I got E1 Fu Xuan in 1 ten pull with 1 pity diff

Out of every limited 5 star character I've pulled for, in any game, she's by far the best.

Finally gonna clear swarm 😭

any genshin player just watch this cause its similar enough to hsr but understand nothing? i just watch cause its a vars II vid is just relaxing but informanitve

Pulled her mainly because of her design (pink-head) and voice actor 😁

The only time you will ever need double sustain with a decent (like 7-8k hp) Fu is swarm disaster. You will always need double sustain is swarn disaster though.

Thats all great and I definetely planning on getting her. But one of the most important parts of Fu Xuan wasn't mentioned. She's cute, and that is the main reason to get her

was going for fu xuan but the daddy preservation and huo huo coming especially my queenliu giving me second thoughts, i can still 30 MoC so probably its for the best

TingYun and Yukong can finally survive with out getting one or two shot now

Brace yourself guys power creep era is here. We didn't know if their will be Swarm Simulator Part 2 (Hellmode) 😂 The stronger character released = content will ba harder.

Silverwolf, Fu Xuan, Lynx, Qingque. I’ve finaly completed my dream mono 😭uantum

dehya got tripped by the hyv devs so fu xuan could pull up in a tank to the battle

glad I got her, both beautiful and useful Now I gotta endlessly farm good relics for her

Fu Xuan LC gives HP ER and Damage Boost + Heal per Wave Absolute W

I think Fu Xuan is going to be completely future-proof, she’s literally the perfect character to be honest. Preservation, Abundance, Harmony combined into one unit who also happens to be the same Element type as some of the other best units in the game (Silver Wolf, Lynx, Qingque, and arguably Seele). When we inevitably get a Harmony Quantum character, you can build likely the best team in the game, no matter how good they are (and from leaks, Hanabi looks insane). She also has a great E1 and signature Light Cone that are worth pulling on reruns or this current banner. So not only is her E0 great, her future appeal will not decrease because of her insane pullable upgrades. For me, she’s easily the second best character in the game behind Silver Wolf. Silver Wolf + Fu Xuan is a core that you can put any characters into and it will work. Blade, Bronya, Fu Xuan, and Silver Wolf might be the single strongest team in the game (depending on how you view it). DH IL, Fu Xuan, Silver Wolf, Yukong. Another top-tier team. She’s absolutely busted. I’m so happy I got her E1S1.

How do you pronounce Fu Xuan's Name exactly?

unsure if I want to pull Fu Xuan or not, since I have Gepard, and Bailu, which are more than enough for healing, but CC can be a run killer in SU and some MOC runs

Honestly not sure who to pull for, considering I don't have Seele/quantum damage dealers and it's her rerun, and am also very fond of pets/summons(looking foward to Topaz and Gui).

Honestly surprised at how many people are shocked at your statement about Gepard needing a healer on the team. As a long time Gepard main with his signature LC and maxed out, properly relics and all that, I can say that when his shield is down and his ult is out, that's when you NEED some sort of healing, especially in higher difficulties. (the gap between lower diffs and high diff is too much lmao) He can definitely solo sustain in MoC, sure, but not in ALL contents. We have Swarm as proof where the bug will swipe your entire team and ones with lower def just gets the shield chipped down by A LOT.

When Fu Reaches NA/ Plan on going for E0 at least or E1 if I manage to win both 50/50s or Get Lucky. Budget is 2 Pities worth of pulls. As for LC i Have ToM Prepared and Ready to go for her at LV 70

i got her accidentally, don't build pity guys

So I'm definitely debating pulling for her. I joined H:SR during Kafka's banner and tried for her but failed, but now I have enough to guarantee Fu Xuan (If the pull system works the same as Genshin where a failed limited pull guarantees the next one). I'm currently running a main team of Qingque/Trailblazer (Destruction), Gepard, Bronya, and Natasha, so I'm unsure if she's worth the pull. Anyone got any advice for me?

I'll never understand how Dehya didn't get this same kit. Just make her reduce damage taken for the whole team and her passive heal slightly heals the party

0:26 wait? Kafka is a dps? I thought she was a sup dps ..i just use her for extra dmg for my team...

I pulled for her because she's pink

Feels so so bad to lose my 50/50 and be unsure if I will be able to get her before she leaves. I exhausted all sources of jades we can get and am fully relying on the new sources of jades coming in the future to get her now. Also F2P but unfortunately not by choice.

i dont understand 😭😭😭😭 (i use dan hen il, fire trail blazer, jingyuan and Natasha, is my team good enough?)

I have Kafka, Dan Heng IL and Fu Xuan. I am NOW a F2P going forward 💀

Honestly, Star Rail looks like is going to be a never ending parade of characters power creeping each other at this point. Right now is not a big problem becouse nobody except whales have enough characters and we need a lot to cover all weaknesses, but soon it's going to put into question the need to play all units. I right now have more DPS characters than I need becouse those just so happen to be my favorite characters (Seele, Jing Yuan, Kafka, Dan Heng) and I lost all my atempts to get the big suports (Silver Wolf and Luocha, yes I pull for every character even though I'm just a little fish, I need help) but realisticaly, I start to wonder if I should really feel the lose of those supports becouse sooner than later there is going to be a better option if the trend keeps going as of late. Lets see what happens but It kind of scares me becouse my DPS characters are going to suffer it a lot worst and I got four of them.

Did I pull for inbibitor lunae? Yea. Am I pulling for her anyway? Yea.

Hoping this cutie comes home

Both fuxuan and lynx’s normals scale off of HP

The problem I had with fu xuan is that when a boss do a nuke, it's often down to the dice luck on how lucky if fu xuan survive. Fu Xuan takes 65% of all allies that got blast. I saw one time my FX just die after a boss use an aoe. My Fu Xuan is ded.

People talking about Dehya as is if Genshin really needed TANKS.

Is it just me or is the music too loud?

I'm happy I pulled her.... but I was honestly more aiming for Lynx.... and 0 Lynx, 2 Pela, frikkin 5 hooks what the HECK

She's mitigating my pulls too. That sustainability from the 1.1m girl is strong af.

Took me 150 pulls to get dan heng IL, so I don't think I'll get her, but I am for sure trying

Mannn. I want Lynx and Fu Xuan but lose the 50/50 to Clara T_T. Also Pela and Hook are E6, mean while Lynx at E0. I mean WTF 😭😭😭

My 60 pulls are sweating bullets. I didn't want her but Jesus with how busted she is I just HAVE to pull for her. Good thing Lynx is on her banner or I would feel even worse pulling just for her strength. Now watch me get 3 Fu Xuans on one multi because the universe loves to taunt me.

nobody is a must pull, that includes Fu Xuan. She is great but there are plenty of other sustain units, and all of them can clear MoC 10
