At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Mydei
- Ultimate “Throne of Bones” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
- Skill “Deaths are Legion, Regrets are None” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—the rotation wants controlled self-damage, not panic healing that cancels the state.
- “Blood for Blood” spends HP as a deliberate self-damage cost—cleaving a trash mob can snowball into another full Skill/Ult cycle.
- E0 without “A Thankless Coronation” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most Destruction carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
- HP-spend skills mean Mydei can soft-lock if sustain is weak or if a healer tops them up at the wrong time and breaks a low-HP / Charge condition.
- Extra-turn and single-target Ultimate patterns shine on bosses but stall in Pure Fiction unless adds die fast enough to proc the talent loop.
Xueyi
- “Divine Castigation” dumps a huge single-target Quantum multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- “Iniquity Obliteration” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies, so adjacent elites still take meaningful chip without waiting for Ultimate.
- Talent “Karmic Perpetuation” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
- “Karmic Perpetuation” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Xueyi below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
- Xueyi wants Break Effect supports and Toughness bars that can actually be broken; into awkward weakness line-ups the Complete Combustion / Break loop loses most of its damage.
- As a 4★ Destruction unit, Xueyi is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
Shared Team Members
With Mydei
Tingyun is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
With Xueyi
Tingyun amps Break Effect / action value so Toughness bars die on schedule.
With Mydei
Pela applies DEF shred / vulnerability so the carry’s multipliers actually land.
With Xueyi
Pela enables Super Break / Toughness pressure rather than a generic CRIT Harmony slot.
With Mydei
Gallagher covers HP / memosprite upkeep so the Remembrance loop does not collapse mid-wave.
With Xueyi
Gallagher keeps Toughness routes alive with heals (and Break-friendly sustain when built that way).
