Sushang
Situational—Sushang is a Physical Hunt Break/SPD carry. Ultimate “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” buffs allies’ damage for a short window. Best with Bronya / Asta / Ruan Mei. Sword Stance procs on Broken foes. Skip when Boothill/Yunli cover Physical DPS.
Sushang is a 4★ Physical The Hunt Main DPS. Skill “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” 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
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Dancing Blade” When an enemy has their Weakness Broken on the field, Sushang's SPD increases by 22.5% for 2 turn(s)—ignore it and Sushang plays like a worse generic The Hunt unit.
- Technique “Cloudfencer Art: Warcry” opens by hitting the pack on pull-in—use it before every MoC wave, not only in the overworld.
Weaknesses
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Sushang focuses the elite.
- As a 4★ The Hunt unit, Sushang is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Sushang is often the SP sink.
- If “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” 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
Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Dancing Blade supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Cloudfencer Art: Starshine 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.

Why it works —Flexible alternative on the same path—equip if you already own it at higher superimposition.

Relics
Team Compositions
Primary Break / Toughness team for Sushang. Bronya, Asta, Lingsha are the partners the kit / endgame clears assume first.
Core carry for this shell — owns the damage plan and sets the rotation pace.
Bronya amps Break Effect / action value so Toughness bars die on schedule.
Asta amps Break Effect / action value so Toughness bars die on schedule.
Lingsha keeps Toughness routes alive with heals (and Break-friendly sustain when built that way).
