Formidable general, Honkai Star Rail’s Feixiao, debuts in Star Rail’s War Dance story, alongside plenty of talented swordmasters and key individuals. She wields an impressive sword – and an axe – and is a follower of the Hunt. This means she excels at single-target damage, but has a hefty follow-up attack in her kit, too. Here’s the best Feixiao build.

What is the best Honkai Star Rail Feixiao build?
Feixiao follows the Hunt path and is a five-star character who uses the wind element.
| Best light cone | I Venture Forth to Hunt |
| Light cone substitutes | Worrisome, Blissful and Swordplay |
| Best relic set | The Wind-Soaring Valorous |
| Planar ornaments | Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves |
| Main stats | Body – crit rate/damage Feet – speed Link rope – wind damage boost Planar sphere – attack |
| Sub stats | Crit rate, crit damage, speed, attack |
Feixiao is an astoundingly good DPS, who deals tons of wind damage all the time through follow-up attacks and a multi-hit ultimate, similar to Acheron. She’s mainly a single-target focused DPS, but does so much damage that you can often one-shot enemies.
Her best light cone is I Venture Forth to Hunt, and the best relic set for Feixiao is the Wind Soaring Valorous. In terms of planar ornaments, the best set is Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves. For teammates, you really want to use Robin with Feixiao to boost her follow-up damage.
What are the best light cones for Feixiao?
Feixiao’s best light cone is her signature five-star, I Venture Forth to Hunt. This is available on the banner while she is. There are plenty of other options if you don’t have the means to get her signature – Topaz’s signature – Worrisome, Blissful – is a great choice, along with higher refinements of the four-star Swordplay or Final Victor.
| I Venture Forth to Hunt | Increases Feixiao’s crit rate by 15%. When she launches a follow-up attack, she gains one stack of Luminflux. She can hold two stacks at any time. Each stack means her ultimate ignores a percentage of the target’s defense stat. When her turn ends, one stack disappears | Light cone banner |
| Worrisome, Blissful | Increases Feixiao’s crit rate and her follow-up attack damage. When she uses a follow-up attack, she applies Tame to targets, which can stack two times. When allies hit targets marked with Tame, each stack increases her crit rate | Lightcone banner |
| Cruising in the Stellar Sea | Increases Feixiao’s crit rate by 8/10/12/14/16%, and increases her crit rate against enemies with HP less than 50% by an extra 8/10/12/14/16%. When she defeats an enemy, her attack increases by 20/25/30/35/40% for two turns | Herta’s store |
| Swordplay | Every time Feixiao hits the same target, her damage increases. This can stack five times. The effect spells if she changes targets | All banners |
| Final Victor | Increases Feixiao’s attack. When she lands a crit hit on enemies, they gain a stack of Good Fortune. This can stack four times. Each stack increases her crit damage. Good Fortune removes at the end of her turn | All banners |
What are the best relics for Feixiao?
The best relic set for Feixiao is a full four-piece of The Wind Soaring Valorous, as this increases both her attack and ultimate damage. You could also use a two- or four-piece set of Ashblazing Grand Duke to increase her follow-up damage.
If you use Moze or March 7th in her Hunt form, you can use the Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm planar ornaments to add a nice chunk to Feixiao’s attack stat. For those struggling with finding a good four-piece set – trust us, we know – you can easily mix and match any crit or attack-boosting two-piece sets to add purely to her stats.

What are the best Feixiao team comps?
The best team for Feixiao, it seems, is the, uh, FART team. Feixiao, Aventurine, Robin, and Topaz. Look, we didn’t make this up. Topaz’s follow-ups, Robin’s buffs, and Aventurine’s shield all come together in a wonderfully synergistic team.
You can also use Feixiao’s right-hand men, Moze and Jiaoqiu, to add some extra damage on her team – however, this leaves you without a healer or shield option.

Who is Feixiao?
Feixiao is the Great General of the Seven Arbiter-Generals, the Merlin’s Claw of the Xianzhou Yaoqing, and is not to be trifled with. However, she prefers a title she gave herself – the Lacking General, as she lacks regrets, rivals, and worries.
She knows how to use many weapons and forms of martial arts, so is a formidable fighter to go up against. She’s afflicted by Moon Rage, which according to the lore of the Moon Rage Fang item, allows warriors to “exhibit incredible healing abilities” while shedding the blood of their enemies, and having ‘unbridled’ growth in their muscles. We, um, aren’t sure what this really means for Feixiao, either.
