Feixiao is a 5-star Wind DPS unit in Honkai Star Rail who was released in the first phase of Honkai Star Rail version 2.5.
Feixiao has been one of the most anticipated units for a long time, but the bigger question is whether she lived up to her hype upon release on September 10, 2024. As it happens, she did, and her damage potential is arguably the best in the game even matching the likes of Acheron and Firefly.
If you are lacking a powerful DPS, this is the time to use your saved Stellar Jades. While she has a few team restrictions due to being a follow-up unit, she is a must-have irrespective of where your account in standing right now.
If you are looking to pull Feixiao in version 2.5, we have you covered with a detailed guide featuring her best build, Light Cones, Relics, and much more.

Best Feixiao team comp
The best units to pair alongside Feixiao in Honkai Star Rail are Robin, Topaz, and Aventurine. This is because, Feixiao is a follow-up unit, and Topaz and Aventurine synergize well with her kit where they can land back-to-back attacks on enemies by triggering their passives.
Robin functions as the primary buffer for this team as she is the best unit to pair alongside any follow-up character.
If you are looking for an alternative, you can replace Robin with Ruan Mei, even though it isn’t as optimal. Follow-up teams need high investment and units like Topaz and Aventurine are must-haves for optimal synergy.
If you lack any of the units mentioned above, you can try pairing Feixiao with Herta and Imaginary March 7th to trigger the follow-up attacks.
