Strengths & Weaknesses

Fu Xuan

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.
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.

Gepard

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Enduring Bulwark” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Daunting Smite” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • “Unyielding Will” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
Weaknesses
