As an HP scaling Preservation character, Fu Xuan brings forth her powerful protective abilities to excel as a tank across various team setups in Honkai Star Rail. She can also increase the HP of all allies, allowing them to sustain a few extra hits from the enemy. Coupled with her CRIT Rate boosts, she doubles as a support unit.

Here are Fu Xuan's abilities and everything she has to offer in the battle.

• Basic ATK: Deals Quantum DMG to a single enemy.
• Skill: Activates Matrix of Prescience on every other ally, distributing 65% of their damage taken to Fu Xuan for three turns. While affected by the Matrix of Prescience, allies gain the Knowledge Effect, which increases their HP and CRIT Rate.
• Ultimate: Unleashes Quantum DMG on all enemies and obtains a trigger count for the HP restore effect granted by her Talent.

• Talent: Misfortune Avoidance is applied to the entire team, reducing their damage taken when Fu Xuan is active during combat. Additionally, an HP restore effect is triggered when Fu Xuan’s health falls below 50%, which restores her HP based on her missing health. It consumes a trigger count, and she can have a maximum of two stacks of it.
• Technique: Activates a barrier blocking for 20 seconds that blocks enemy attacks, preventing the ream from entering battle. When the shield is active, Fu Xuan automatically activates the Matrix of Prescience for two turns after entering the battle.

In addition to these movesets, Fu Xuan's fourth ascension passive heals all allies after she uses her Ultimate. Her sixth ascension also unlocks the Liuren, the Sexagenary trace, which allows allies to resist all crowd control when the Matrix of Prescience is active.

Overall, Fu Xuan is a powerful 5-star unit worth summoning in Honkai Star Rail 1.3. She is versatile enough to work with any character, especially when their kit scales on HP. Hence, she appears to be one of the strongest support units for Blade, as he can utilize her HP boost and other aspects of her abilities.

Fu Xuan is almost immortal during battle due to her powerful self-healing ability triggers before she gets critical. Additionally, her CRIT Rate boost also offers consistency to all DPS units that unleash raw damage on enemies.

The Master Diviner is certainly one of the strongest F2P releases in the game, boasting an easy-to-build character design. However, pulling her from the latest banner is completely up to your discretion and requirements.
