Skills and Talents Breakdown

Mi Fu’s gameplay centers on building to 3 Vulnerability stacks, triggering her Combo Skill, then chaining Battle Skill Stages 2 and 3 for massive Crush damage.

Basic Attack: Fistmancer of Blades

A fast 4-hit sequence mixing greatsword slashes and powerful fist strikes. The final hit lands especially hard. Her attack speed feels quicker than most greatsword users, keeping her damage flowing smoothly between skills.

Battle Skill: Qingbo Triplex

Cast up to three times in sequence, each stage costing only 50 SP.

  • Stage 1: Fires a pulling force forward to gather enemies directly in front of her. If the target is too large to pull, Mi Fu dashes toward it instead. Excellent for setup and crowd control.
  • Stage 2: Delivers a rapid punch combo ending in a Crush strike. Consuming 3 or more Vulnerability stacks unlocks Stage 3.
  • Stage 3: World Splitter: After a brief charge, unleashes a devastating punch that deals massive Crush damage without consuming extra stacks. This is where her damage peaks.

Combo Skill: Fists of No Regrets

Automatically triggers when any enemy on the field reaches 3 Vulnerability stacks. Performs a rising uppercut that deals strong Physical damage and applies Physical Susceptibility to the target. After activation, the next Battle Skill cast skips straight to Stage 2.

Ultimate: Pile of No Mercy

Charges forward, lifts enemies in front into the air while applying 1 Vulnerability stack, then slams the ground for AoE Physical damage and Stagger. The next Battle Skill cast skips to Stage 2. Great for resetting the combo or adding stacks mid-fight.

Talents

Mi Fu gains a protective shield and boosted interruption resistance while in combat. This lets her stay aggressive in melee range without getting knocked around easily.

Recommended Weapons

Best-in-Slot: Amaranthine Tassel (Signature 6-star Greatsword)

Her custom weapon. It provides high base Strength and Attack along with a specialized Combative stat. The passive grants layered damage buffs whenever she uses Combo or Battle Skills, perfectly matching her rotation.

Best F2P Option: Phantom Pain (Battle Pass Weapon)

Excellent synergy thanks to Strength, Arts Intensity (which amplifies Crush damage on Stages 2 and 3), and Suppression effects. A strong choice even without her signature weapon.

Solid Alternative: Exemplar (6-star)

High base ATK, a solid ATK% boost, and a passive that stacks Physical DMG Bonus on Battle Skill or Ultimate usage. Versatile and easy to obtain.

Best Gear

Set: Swordmancer Gear Pack (3-piece)

The new set released with her banner is her undisputed best-in-slot.

  • 3-piece bonus: +20% Stagger Efficiency. Whenever Mi Fu inflicts a Physical status (like Crush), she deals extra Physical DMG equal to 250% ATK and 10 Stagger (15-second cooldown).

Recommended Pieces

  • Armor: Swordmancer Heavy Armor
  • Gloves: Swordmancer TAC Gauntlets T1
  • Kit slots: Swordmancer NAV Beacon (x2)

Prioritize main stats of Strength and Attack, with sub-stats focusing on ATK%, Physical DMG Bonus, and Crit Rate/DMG where possible.

Skill Upgrade Priority

  1. Battle Skill (core damage engine)
  2. Ultimate = Combo Skill (both enable the burst loop)
  3. Basic Attack (lowest priority)

Aim to max Battle Skill first for the biggest damage spike.

Best Team Compositions

Pure Physical Burst Team (Recommended for most players)

  • Mi Fu (Main DPS)
  • Chen Qianyu (Vulnerability stacking and buffs)
  • Pogranichnik (Crit Rate and Physical DMG support)
  • Lifeng or Ember (flex support)

Hybrid Reaction Quickswap Team (High-ceiling V1.3 style)

  • Mi Fu
  • Rossi (applies Vulnerability via Heat reactions and boosts team damage)
  • Camille (synergizes with Rossi’s reactions)
  • Flex (Chen Qianyu or Pogranichnik)

Playstyle and Rotation Guide

The core loop is simple once practiced:

  1. Let teammates apply Vulnerability stacks to 3.
  2. Combo Skill triggers automatically (rising uppercut + Physical Susceptibility).
  3. Immediately follow with Battle Skill Stage 2 into Stage 3 for massive Crush burst.
  4. Use Ultimate when needed to add a Vulnerability stack and skip straight to Stage 2 on the next Battle Skill.

Tips:

  • Plan around the Combo Skill’s cooldown to avoid dead time.
  • Use Stage 1 pull only when you need to group enemies or close gaps.
  • Stay close to enemies to benefit from her talent shield and interruption resistance.
  • Her low SP cost means you can spam skills aggressively once Vulnerability is up.

With good timing and the right supports, Mi Fu can delete elite and boss targets in seconds while controlling the battlefield.

Mi Fu is a top-tier Physical hypercarry for players who enjoy combo-based gameplay and explosive damage windows. Build her if you run Physical teams centered around Chen Qianyu or want to experiment with the new hybrid reaction comps in Version 1.3.
