Best Builds for Fu Xuan in Honkai Star Rail

Treading on the Preservation path, Fu Xuan aids her allies on the battlefield by absorbing damage that her enemies deal to her allies, which differs from other Preservation units in Honkai Star Rail.

Fu Xuan's signature Light Cone, She Already Shut Her Eyes, is definitely her best option as it is her BiS (Best in Slot). The passive ability of the Light Cone increases her HP and Energy Regeneration Rate, and whenever her HP is reduced, the DMG of all allies increases.

You can also buy Texture of Memories from the Herta Shop, an excellent alternative for F2P players. The Light Cone increases her Effect Res by 8%. Once every three turns, if she is attacked and has no shields, she gains a shield equal to 16% of her max HP.

The four-piece Longevous Disciple will be the best Relic set for Fu Xuan. The set increases her Max HP by 12%. Additionally, when she is hit or her HP is consumed by an ally or herself, her CRIT Rate increases by 8% for two turns up to two stacks.

You can also use two-piece Longevous Disciple and two-piece Genius of Brilliant Stars to build her. The latter increases her Quantum damage by 10%, which will assist her in dealing additional damage while aiding her allies.

As for her Planar Ornaments, you can use Inert Salsotto as it increases her CRIT Rate by 8%, and her ultimate and follow-up attack DMG will increase by 15% when her CRIT Rate reaches 50% or higher. You can farm for this Planar Ornament from the Simulated Universe World 6 of Honkai Star Rail.
