Xueyi Release Date and Upcoming Banner

Xueyi was released on December 27, 2023, in the first phase ofHonkai Star Rail’s 1.6 banners. Her first banner rerun is still unknown and we will update it here once we find any information on it.

Xueyi’s Kit And Cycle Rotation (At Max Level)

With the information we have about her kit, Xueyi is going to bebetter as a sub-DPSthan a carry. Let’s take a look at her kit to understand how to play her optimally with the best Xueyi build.

Xueyi will have Single target, Blast, Bounce, and Follow-up attacks in her arsenal. She is currentlythe only character in Honkai Star Rail who can damage Toughness irrespective of the weakness type(excluding Ruan Mei’s technique).

Her kit is more inclined towards breaking weaknesses, and her primary damage will come fromBreak Effects and her Talent-triggered Follow-up attacks. The best way to play her will be to trigger her Talent by stacking up her Karma points using her Skill and Basic Attacks. The following is going to be her ideal cycle rotation:

Skill > Attack > Skill > Attack, and use her Ultimate to weakness break enemies at the earliest.

Best Xueyi Builds: Relics, Planar Ornaments & Sub Stats

As Xueyi features a diverse attack kit, she can go with many Relics and Planar Ornament sets. Here are her best Cavern Relics, Planar Ornaments, and main and sub stats.

Relics for Best Xueyi Build

The4-piece Genius of Brilliant Stars is the best Relic set for Xueyias it increases Quantum Damage by 10% and lets the wearer ignore up to 20% of enemy defenses.

The 4-piece Thief of Shooting Meteor is a good alternative as it increases the Break Effect by 32%. Another good alternative is the Ashblazing Grand Duke as it increases the Follow-up attack damage and that’s one of the main damage sources for Xueyi.

Planar Ornaments for Best Xueyi Build

The 2-piece Talia: Kingdom of Banditry is going to be the best Planar Ornament for Xueyi, as it buffs her Break Effect. But make sure youmeet the 145-speed thresholdto get the best out of it.

2-piece Inert Salsotto and Rutilant Arena are also good alternatives as they provide a good Crit rate buff.

Best Main and Sub Stats

Xueyi’sbest stats are going to be Attack %, Speed, Crit Damage, and Crit Rate.Normally you would expect Break Effect to be equally important, but her traces and Eidolons give a good Break Effect Buff and you only need around 50% extra to reach the max 240% Break Effect damage buff from her Ascension 2 trace.

It’sbetter to stack Attack % as much as possibleand to also make sure you meet the 145-speed threshold from the 2-piece Talia: Kingdom of Banditry.

Light Cones for Best Xueyi Build

‘Nowhere to Run’ at Superimposition 5 is a clear winner for Xueyias it increases attack by 48%. It’s also a 4-star Light Cone and more accessible to pull. Alternatively, if you have Clara’s signature Light Cone — ‘Something Irreplaceable’ — you can use it instead.

‘On the Fall of Aeon’ is the best F2P alternativeif you haven’t pulled either of the above two Light Cones. It is available in the Herta shop and can be easily Superimposed to 5.

Xueyi Eidolons in Honkai Star Rail

Xueyi has some great Eidolons that are worth getting. She is a 4* character, so getting her Eidolons would be much easier.Her E2 is a must-get as it allows Xueyi to consistently break the Toughness of any enemy, as she will use her Follow-up attacks often. Other than that, her E4 and E6 are good enough to invest if you plan to play her consistently.

Xueyi will mainly be a Sub-DPS, andher best team is a mono-quantum teamwith Seele, Silver Wolf, and Fu Xuan. You can also play her with Topaz andRuan Meito get the best out of her Follow-up attacks and Break Effects. Her best F2P team will be with Qingque, any free Harmony support likeTingyun, Pela, Yukong, and Asta, and a Sustain likeLynx, Natasha, or Fire MC.

Should You Pull for Xueyi in Honkai Star Rail?

Xueyi is a 4* character, so pulling for her won’t be comparatively as difficult. You should only pull for Xueyi if you want to pull the 5-Star character on her banner. She is a very strong Weakness Breaker and pairs well with Ruan Mei. As a standalone character, Qingque is a better F2P Quantum DPS than her.
