Fugue
Yes for Break—Fugue is the premium Nihility Break enabler. Ultimate “Solar Splendor Shines Upon All” cuts Toughness while ignoring Weakness Type. Best with Firefly / Rappa / Boothill / The Dahlia / Lingsha. Nihility Break support (not Harmony)—pairs with Super Break carries. Skip when you’re not running Break DPS.
Fugue is a 5★ Fire Nihility Support. Skill “Virtue Beckons Bliss” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Solar Splendor Shines Upon All” 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 “Solar Splendor Shines Upon All” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—time it for the carry’s damage window instead of casting on cooldown out of habit.
- Skill “Virtue Beckons Bliss” applies DEF shred / Exposed for the team—that is how Fugue applies pressure between Ultimates.
- Fugue can implant or force Fire-relevant Weakness from the kit itself—Break and Toughness routes stay online even when the MoC line-up did not list Fire.
- DEF shred from “Virtue Beckons Bliss” multiplies every ally’s damage for the duration—Fugue is doing amp work, not only personal DPS.
Weaknesses
- Several Fugue effects roll “base chance”—without enough Effect Hit Rate, Exposed/Shock/DEF shred simply misses on tanky bosses and the rotation feels empty.
- Buff windows on “Solar Splendor Shines Upon All” are short—casting them when the carry cannot attack wastes the CRIT DMG/ATK amp for a full cycle.
- Fugue’s Skill is often the expensive part of the rotation; SP-negative teams force Basic ATKs and you lose the advance/amp that made the unit worth playing.
- Spamming “Virtue Beckons Bliss” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Fugue is often the SP sink.
Trace Priority
Virtue Beckons Bliss carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Solar Splendor Shines Upon All supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Fortune Follows Where Virtue Spreads supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Radiant Streak 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 Break Effect by 0.6%. When an enemy target's Weakness gets broken, there is a 1% base chance to inflict the "Charring" state on it, which increases its Break DMG taken by 0.18%, lasting for 2 turn(s). This effect can stack 2 time(s).
Why it works —Signature / best-in-slot when owned—passive lines up with Fugue’s kit triggers.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's Effect Hit Rate by 0.24%. When the wearer deals DMG to an enemy that currently has 3 or more debuffs, increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 0.12%. After the wearer uses their Basic ATK, Skill, or Ultimate, there is a 1% base chance to implant Aether Code on a random hit target that does not yet have it. Targets with Aether Code receive 0.12% increased DMG for 1 turn.
Why it works —Flexible alternative on the same path—equip if you already own it at higher superimposition.
4★ · Path cone
For every debuff the target enemy has, the DMG dealt by the wearer increases by 0.12%, stacking up to 3 time(s). This effect also applies to DoT.
Why it works —Best accessible option for most accounts—raise superimposition when copies drop.
4★ · Path cone
Increase the wearer's CRIT Rate by 0.08%. The wearer deals 0.24% more CRIT DMG to enemies that are currently Slowed or have reduced DEF.
Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.
Relics
Team Compositions
Fugue enabling Firefly. Firefly, The Dahlia, Lingsha complete the break shell.
Firefly is the damage seat in this shell — build the supports around their rotation, not the reverse.
Enabler / amp piece this page is built around — keep their buffs or debuffs online every cycle.
The Dahlia enables Super Break / Toughness pressure rather than a generic CRIT Harmony slot.
Lingsha keeps Toughness routes alive with heals (and Break-friendly sustain when built that way).
Traces & Eidolons
Traces
Deals Fire DMG equal to 140% of Fugue's ATK to one designated enemy.
Grants one designated ally "Foxian Prayer". Enters the "Torrid Scorch" state, lasting for 3 turn(s). The duration decreases by 1 at the start of Fugue's every turn. "Foxian Prayer" only takes effect on the most recent target of Fugue's Skill. The ally target with "Foxian Prayer" increases their Break Effect by 38% and can also reduce Toughness even when attacking enemies that don't have the corresponding Weakness Type, with the effect equivalent to 50% of the original Toughness Reduction value. This cannot stack with other Toughness Reduction effects that also ignore Weakness Type. While in the "Torrid Scorch" state, Fugue enhances her Basic ATK. Every time an ally target with "Foxian Prayer" attacks, Fugue has a 100% base chance to reduce the attacked enemy target's DEF by 23%, lasting for 2 turn(s).
Deals Fire DMG equal to 250% of Fugue's ATK to all enemies. This attack ignores Weakness Type to reduce all enemies' Toughness. And when breaking Weakness, triggers the Fire Weakness Break effect.
While Fugue is on the field, enemy targets will get additionally afflicted with "Cloudflame Luster," equal to 40% of their Max Toughness. When the initial Toughness is reduced to 0, "Cloudflame Luster" can continue to be reduced. When "Cloudflame Luster" is reduced to 0, the enemy will receive Weakness Break DMG again. While Fugue is on the field and after allies attack Weakness Broken enemy targets, converts the Toughness Reduction of this attack into 1 instance of 125% Super Break DMG.
After using Technique, inflicts Daze on enemies within a certain area, lasting for 10 second(s). While Dazed, enemies will not actively attack ally targets. After entering battle via actively attacking Dazed enemies, Fugue's action advances by 40%, with a 100% base chance to inflict each enemy target with the same DEF Reduction state as that applied by Fugue's Skill, lasting for 2 turn(s).
Deals Fire DMG equal to 140% of Fugue's ATK to one designated enemy and Fire DMG equal to 70% of Fugue's ATK to adjacent targets.
