Fu Xuan
Yes—Fu Xuan’s damage redirect + CRIT Rate still carry teams. Ultimate “Woes of Many Morphed to One” hits every enemy on the field in one cast. Best with Qingque / Seele / Silver Wolf / The Herta. Skill Matrix uptime; SP-neutral sustain. Skip when both MoC sides already have limited sustains.
Fu Xuan is a 5★ Quantum Preservation Shielder. Skill “Known by Stars, Shown by Hearts” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Woes of Many Morphed to One” is the payoff window for damage or team utility. This Phase 1 page covers kit text, gear targets, and pull notes—team comps stay empty until Phase 2.

Strengths
- Ultimate “Woes of Many Morphed to One” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
- Skill “Known by Stars, Shown by Hearts” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Bleak Breeds Bliss” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
- Learning when to hold vs spend “Known by Stars, Shown by Hearts” is the difference between a clean Fu Xuan cycle and a wasted Skill Point.
Weaknesses
- If Energy or Skill Points starve “Woes of Many Morphed to One”, Fu Xuan spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
- Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Fu Xuan’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
- Spamming “Known by Stars, Shown by Hearts” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Fu Xuan is often the SP sink.
- If “Woes of Many Morphed to One” is still offline at the end of a MoC cycle, the build is usually Energy/ERR or rotation order—not a missing CRIT roll.
Trace Priority
Known by Stars, Shown by Hearts carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Woes of Many Morphed to One supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Bleak Breeds Bliss supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Novaburst is last priority outside of filling trace materials.
Stat Priority
Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.
Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.
Light Cones
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's Max HP by 0.24% and Energy Regeneration Rate by 0.12%. When the wearer's HP is reduced, all allies' DMG dealt increases by #2[f1]%, lasting for 2 turn(s). At the start of every wave, restores HP to all allies by an amount equal to 0.8% of their respective lost HP.
Why it works —Signature / best-in-slot when owned—passive lines up with Fu Xuan’s kit triggers.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's DEF by 0.24% and Effect Hit Rate by 0.24%. Increases the chance for the wearer to be attacked by enemies. When the wearer is attacked, increase their DEF by an extra 0.24% until the end of the wearer's turn.
Why it works —Flexible alternative on the same path—equip if you already own it at higher superimposition.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's Effect RES by 0.08%. If the wearer is attacked and has no Shield, they gain a Shield equal to 0.16% of their Max HP for 2 turn(s). This effect can only be triggered once every 3 turn(s). If the wearer has a Shield when attacked, the DMG they receive decreases by 0.12%.
Why it works —Best accessible option for most accounts—raise superimposition when copies drop.
4★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's DEF by 0.16%. After entering battle, increases All-Type RES of all allies by 0.08%. Abilities of the same type cannot stack.
Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.

Sunday is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
Traces & Eidolons
Traces
Deals Quantum DMG equal to 70% of Fu Xuan's Max HP to one designated enemy.
Activates Matrix of Prescience, via which Fu Xuan's teammates will Distribute 65% of the DMG they receive (before this DMG is mitigated by any Shields) to Fu Xuan for 3 turn(s). While affected by Matrix of Prescience, all ally targets gain the Knowledge effect, which increases their respective Max HP by 7.5% of Fu Xuan's Max HP, and increases CRIT Rate by 15.0%. When Fu Xuan is knocked down, the Matrix of Prescience will be dispelled.
Deals Quantum DMG equal to 120% of Fu Xuan's Max HP to all enemies and obtains 1 trigger count for the HP Restore effect granted by Fu Xuan's Talent.
While Fu Xuan is still active in combat, Misfortune Avoidance is applied to the entire team. With Misfortune Avoidance, allies take 22.0% less DMG. When Fu Xuan's current HP percentage falls to 50% of her Max HP or less, HP Restore will be triggered for Fu Xuan, restoring her HP by 95% of the amount of HP she is currently missing. This effect cannot be triggered if she receives a killing blow. This effect has 1 trigger count by default and can hold up to a maximum of 2 trigger counts.
After the Technique is used, all team members receive a Barrier, lasting for 20 seconds. This Barrier can block all enemy attacks, and the team will not enter combat when attacked. Entering battle while the Barrier is active will have Fu Xuan automatically activate Matrix of Prescience at the start of the battle, lasting for 2 turn(s).
Eidolons
The Knowledge effect increases CRIT DMG by 30%.
Is it worth getting?
Modest E1: Flat combat-stat bump tied to a specific trigger. Helpful padding, not a build-defining unlock.
If any ally target is struck by a killing blow while "Matrix of Prescience" is active, then all ally targets who were struck by a killing blow during this action will not be knocked down, and 70% of their Max HP is immediately restored. This effect can trigger 1 time per battle.
Is it worth getting?
Kit add-on: If any ally target is struck by a killing blow while "Matrix of Prescience" is active. Evaluate against your supports—pull only if that specific clause solves a problem you actually hit.
Skill Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Talent Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15.
Is it worth getting?
Skill + Talent levels only (+2). Free if you roll into it; never spend currency aiming for E3.
When other allies under Matrix of Prescience are attacked, Fu Xuan regenerates 5 Energy.
Is it worth getting?
Side-grade: Refunds Energy when the listed trigger fires. Happy if it drops; not a planned stopping point.
Ultimate Lv. +2, up to a maximum of Lv. 15. Basic ATK Lv. +1, up to a maximum of Lv. 10.
Is it worth getting?
Ultimate + Basic ATK levels only (+2). Skip as a goal—grab it if you overshoot toward E6, never hard-pity for it.
Once Matrix of Prescience is activated, it will keep a tally of the total HP lost by all team members in the current battle. The DMG dealt by Fu Xuan's Ultimate will increase by 200% of this tally of HP loss. This tally is also capped at 120% of Fu Xuan's Max HP and the tally value will reset and re-accumulate after Fu Xuan's Ultimate is used.
Is it worth getting?
Whale ceiling: Once Matrix of Prescience is activated. Only chase if Fu Xuan is your dedicated Preservation main and E0–E2 already feel finished.
Fu Xuan is fully usable at E0. Dedicated mains often stop at E0 before chasing higher. First stop: E0. Endgame target: E0.
