Playstyle overview

Fu Xuan is a defensive character who can take damage in place of all of her allies, reduce the damage the whole team takes, and raise the CRIT Rate of the whole team. When Fu Xuan’s HP falls to or below a certain percentage, she restores her own HP.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Significant damage reduction for the whole team
  • Extremely tanky thanks to her very high HP
  • Her passive adds Max HP and CRIT Rate through her Skill
  • Crowd control immunity every time she uses her Skill

Cons

  • Much lower value in the early game because she needs every ability leveled to reach her peak
  • Against enemies that hit too hard or too often she can be one-shot or fall fairly quickly, since enemy damage has climbed sharply since her release
  • Her team healing can fall short if she is not well invested

Best Fu Xuan Build Guide

Fu Xuan Support Build

Stat Targets

  • HP 7000 or higher
  • DEF% 1500 or higher
  • Effect RES 30% or higher
  • SPD 134

This Fu Xuan build makes her as sturdy as possible with a lot of HP plus some Effect RES and DEF%. Fu Xuan wants an Energy Regeneration Rate Link Rope so she can use her Ultimate often and build up the stacks her Talent needs.

DEF% substats are excellent because they cut the damage Fu Xuan takes, both the damage aimed at her directly and the damage redirected to her.

Fu Xuan also wants Effect RES substats so she can resist debuffs and trigger the passive of the Broken Keel Planar Ornament set (if you run that set)
