If you have an understanding of Feixiao’s abilities in Honkai Star Rail, mastering her playstyle is not that complicated. Moreover, if you are fond of the follow-up attack playstyle, you will definitely enjoy her gameplay. To optimally play with Feixiao, you can refer to the tips listed below:

• Try to build a team with at least one more FUA (Follow-Up Attack) unit to make sure Feixiao can get her Flying Aureus stacks quickly. The faster she can get to six stacks, the faster she can trigger her Ultimate.
• If you are fighting smaller enemies, you should engage or start the fight by using her Technique. This allows Feixiao to deal a significant amount of Wind damage at the start of the fight, depleting a hefty chunk of the adversaries’ health.
• Focus on dealing damage to one target at a time. When focusing multiple enemies with a Hunt unit, chances are you will take a lot more turns to eliminate the same number of enemies.
• While using Feixiao’s Ultimate, try to attack an adversary whose toughness bar is almost broken. This will help you deal a stupendous amount of damage in just a single attack.
