[Single Target]Deals Physical DMG equal to 140% of Sushang’s ATK to one designated enemy.
“My name will go down in history, just like those heroes of legend!”
Sushang is a single-target Physical damage dealer who lives on Sword Stance and on enemies being Weakness Broken. Once an enemy is Broken, she takes turn after turn and piles on damage fast, but while enemies are not Broken both her damage and her speed fall off. She struggles in today's harder content, so only invest in her if you really need a Physical damage dealer.
A fit if you are short on someone to hit Physical-weak enemies and do not have Argenti, Clara, Yunli or Luka. If you already own Ruan Mei or Trailblazer (Harmony), Sushang becomes much easier to play.
Sushang deals most of her damage with her Skill and Ultimate, so build her like a regular damage dealer with CRIT stats and ATK. You only need SPD up to your breakpoint, since her Talent already gives her a good amount.

SPD or ATK% Boots both work. Her Talent gives Sushang extra SPD when enemies are Broken, so ATK% Boots can often still hit the ornament breakpoint. On the Planar Sphere, go for Physical DMG Boost first. On the Link Rope, ATK% and Break Effect are both recommended.
CRIT stats are worth more than ATK%. For SPD, just get to the breakpoint you are aiming for.
Her Skill is her main source of damage and can trigger Sword Stance, while her Ultimate hits hard and lets Sushang act again right away, so level both first. Her Talent gives extra SPD. Leave Basic ATK for last.
Riposte makes Sword Stance stronger every time it triggers. Vanquisher Advances Sushang's action Forward by 15% after a Basic ATK or Skill if any enemy on the field is Weakness Broken, which makes her faster than she looks.
E1 regenerates 1 Skill Point whenever she uses her Skill on a Weakness Broken enemy, so your supports can use their Skills to buff or heal freely. E6 lets her Talent's SPD Boost stack up to 2 times and gives her 1 stack as soon as battle starts, so Sushang takes a lot more turns. E4's 40% Break Effect is also good, while E2's damage reduction is only situational.
Feed all your Skill Points and offensive buffs into Sushang so she gets several turns in a row and dumps her damage before a full turn cycle passes. Make the most of enemies being Weakness Broken, since that is when she hits hardest. Bronya gives Sushang an extra turn and boosts her DMG, Ruan Mei helps you Break enemies sooner, and Luocha heals without you having to use his Skill, which saves a lot of Skill Points.
This team is all about Breaking enemies quickly and keeping them Broken for as long as possible. Ruan Mei delays enemies recovering from Weakness Break, so Sushang gets a few more hits in, Trailblazer (Harmony) gives you a reason to build Break Effect, and Fugue's Exo-Toughness helps Sushang perform better. With E1, her Skill on Broken enemies costs almost no Skill Points.
Sushang only hits one target, so she needs a second damage dealer. Serval covers the AoE damage she lacks and helps break the Toughness of enemies that are not weak to Physical. Trailblazer (Preservation) tanks hits and Natasha handles healing.
She delays enemies recovering from Weakness Break, so Sushang gets a few more hits in, and she helps you Break enemies faster. With E1, Sushang's Skill ends up costing almost no Skill Points.
A great partner, even better than Trailblazer (Harmony). Fugue's Exo-Toughness helps Sushang perform much better.
Takes care of the awkward timing of when enemies are Broken and gives you a reason to build Break Effect. With Trailblazer (Harmony), Sushang can run either a full CRIT build or a hybrid build.
Makes sure Sushang always has Physical-weak enemies to hit, so there is always a way to get enemies into the Broken state.
Gives Sushang an extra turn and boosts her DMG.
Slows enemies so Sushang can land more hits. His Skill can Break several enemies, which helps trigger Sword Stance.
Lowers enemy DEF and strips their buffs, which raises the DMG Sushang deals.
Her Ultimate raises the SPD of the whole team, so everyone gets more attacks in before the enemy's turn.
The secondary damage dealer in the budget team, covering the AoE damage Sushang does not have.
Heals the whole team without you having to use his Skill, which saves a lot of Skill Points for Sushang.
Sword Stance is an extra hit of Additional Physical DMG. The final hit of her Skill has a 33% chance to trigger Sword Stance, and it is guaranteed if the target is Weakness Broken. After she uses her Ultimate, her Skill gets 2 extra chances to trigger Sword Stance for 2 turns, each dealing 50% of the original DMG. Her Riposte Trace also makes Sword Stance stronger each time it triggers.
Every time an enemy has its Weakness Broken, her Talent Dancing Blade raises Sushang's SPD for 2 turns, even when a teammate is the one who Breaks it. On top of that, her Vanquisher Trace Advances her action Forward by 15% after a Basic ATK or Skill if any enemy on the field is Broken. On the other hand, while enemies are not Broken, Sushang slows down a lot and her damage comes down to luck, so your team needs someone who helps break Toughness.
Her Ultimate deals big damage to one target and Advances Sushang's action Forward by 100% so she acts again right away, along with an ATK boost. It works best when an enemy's turn is about to come before Sushang's, so you can follow up right away with her Skill and get the extra Sword Stance hits.
