Basic skills

Fugue is focused on helping her allies, debuffing opponents, and dealing fire damage to the area. First of all, the skills are intended to provide for squads that specialize in penetration. Since they are the ones who benefit the most from the mechanics of the legendary representative of Oblivion.

With her skill, she applies a buff that increases the penetration effect and allows you to ignore enemy weaknesses, and, on the contrary, weakens opponents by lowering their defense. However, the heroine also brings benefits ively, spreading a special status that additionally drains stamina. In addition, she allows you to deal damage with super penetration.

In the following points, we will take a closer look at how Fugue's abilities work and highlight the priority sequence for leveling them up. We will also study the hidden skills from the "Traces" section and eidolons. In particular, we will pay attention to the consts that are recommended for obtaining.

Active skills

Angry Flame

Technique "Angry Flame" || Debuff

When using the technique, inflicts the "Dizziness" status on enemies in a certain area for 10 seconds. Enemies under this effect cannot attack allied targets.

After dealing damage to an enemy with Vertigo, its duration is advanced by 40%. In addition, with a 100% base chance, it imposes the defense reduction specified in the skill for 2 turns.

Flaming Tail

Basic Attack "Blazing Tail" || Single Strike

Deals fire damage to one enemy equal to 50-100% from attack power.

Fiery caress

Enhanced Basic Attack "Fiery Caress" || Explosive Strike

Deals fire damage to one enemy equal to 50-100% from the attack power, as well as fire damage to adjacent targets, amounting to 25-50% from attack power.

Granting grace

Skill "Granting Grace" ||

Applies the Fox's Prayer status to one target ally and enters the Furious Burn status for 3 turns. The duration of the status decreases with each turn of Fugue, and the status only affects the last target of the skill.

An ally with the Fox's Prayer status has their penetration effect increased by 15-30%. In addition, his attacks drain the opponents' stamina regardless of the vulnerability type. This effect is equal to 50% from the initial damage of the fortitude and does not stack with other similar effects.

While the "Furious Scorch" state is active, Fugue's basic attack is enhanced. Every time an ally with "Fox's Prayer" attacks an enemy, the heroine has a 100% basic chance to decrease the target's defense by 8-18% within 2 moves.

blinding flame

Super Ability "Blinding Flame" || Group Strike

Consumes 130 energy and deals fire damage to all enemies, which is 100-200% of attack power. This attack ignores enemy targets' vulnerabilities and reduces their durability. When the stamina bar is completely depleted, the "Burning" fire penetration effect is applied.

ive skills

Blessing of Kindness

Talent "Blessing of Kindness" || Debuff

While Fugue is on the battlefield, enemies are afflicted with the Cloud Flame Glitter status, which is equal to 40% from the maximum durability of the targets:

• When durability drops to 0, the status continues to deplete.
• When Cloud Flame Glitter drops to 0, the enemy will take pierce damage again.

While Fugue is on the battlefield and after allies attack enemies with a pierced vulnerability, the stamina damage of this attack is converted once to super penetration damage, which is equal to 50-100%.

The order of leveling abilities

Talent ≥ Skill > Super Ability ≥ Basic Attack

It is recommended to improve Fugue's skills in the following sequence:

1. Talent и skill — skills that are practically equal in priority and allow you to help your allies in battle in various ways. For this reason, it is advisable to pump them in parallel with each other, but first of all, the emphasis is on talent.
2. Superpower — Fugue's main source of damage. To some extent, it is also a option in the form of additional area damage. Moreover, the ultimate completely ignores the vulnerabilities of opponents.
3. Basic Attack - Another way to deal damage through a stronger version of the strike and restore skill points. Has a slightly lower value in of pumping due to the lower impact compared to the super ability.

Tracks

All traces of Fugue:

Speed ​​+2 units. (level 1)
"Revival of Zelenat": After an ally pierces a vulnerability, the enemy's action is delayed by an additional 15%.	Penetration effect +5,3% (A2)	Speed ​​+2 units. (A3)	Health +4% (A3)
"Riddles of Tushan": Fugue's penetration effect is increased by 30%. The first use of the skill gives 1 action point.	Speed ​​+3 units. (A4)	Penetration effect +8% (A5)	Speed ​​+3 units. (A5)
"The Essence of Thecda": Penetrating an enemy's Vulnerability increases the Penetration effect of all allies by 6% (except Fugue). If Fugue's Penetration effect is 220% or more, the buff is further increased by 12% for 2 turns. The bonus can be stacked up to 2 times.	Health +6% (A6)	Penetration effect +10,7% (level 75)
Speed ​​+4 units. (level 80)

Overall increase in stats after opening all tracks:

• Speed ​​- 14 units.
• Penetration effect - 24%.

Eidolons

All Fugue Consts:

number	Name	<font><font>Materials</font></font>
1	Mortality has faded, the path to ascension	An ally under the Fox's Prayer status has their vulnerability penetration increased by 50%.
2	The approach of good fortune bestows chastity	When an enemy's weakness is broken, Fugue restores 3 energy to himself. After using the super ability, advances all allies' actions by 24%.
3	The heart is filled, the mind is subdued	Skill level +2. The maximum level is 15. The level of basic attack +1. The maximum level is 10.
4	Consciousness is fragmented, names are burned	Penetration damage to an ally under the Fox's Prayer status is increased by 20%.
5	The Rise of Patronage, Heir to Nirvana	Superpower level +2. Talent level +2. The maximum level is 15.
6	The end of creation, the beginnings of the universe	Fugue's vulnerability penetration efficiency is increased by 50%. While the heroine is in the "Furious Burn" state, the "Fox's Prayer" status is applied to all squad .

The best Eidolons of Fugue are E1, E2 and E6:

• First consta is good because it expands the functionality of the "Fox's Prayer" status. Now it not only gives the effect of penetration and ignoring vulnerability, but also increases the effectiveness of the penetration of the selected partner. Thanks to this, the ally will be able to quickly reduce the resistance of opponents.
• Second Const. Allows for more consistent use of the ultimate by gaining additional energy when breaking through a weakness. Additionally, it offers a team benefit in the form of advancing the actions of all allies after using Fugue's ultimate.
• Sixth Consta gives the heroine the ability to drain enemy targets' stamina much faster and has a higher chance of activating the Third Track bonus. However, the most important buff is that the Fox's Prayer status is extended to all teammates.

F2P players are recommended to stick with E2.

How to Play Fugu: Rotation

Fugue in Hankai: Star Rail functions as a , debuffer, and somewhat secondary DPS character during combat. The key principles of playing her are quite simple and boil down to the following:

• Every 3 turns, use a skill on the main DD to apply "Fox's Prayer" and "Furious Burn".
• While the applied effects remain active, it is recommended to attack with a strengthened basic attack.
• The super ability is used when ready to deal area damage.

At the same time, the talent helps allies ively, allowing them to deal super-penetration damage. Now let's take a closer look at Fugue's rotation using the standard sequence of actions as an example:

1. Before entering the battle, activate the heroine's technique and attack the enemy (you can do this for any character). This will allow you to advance the Fugue effect by 40% at the very beginning and lower the enemy's defense.
2. During the turn, we use the skill on the main DD or on the character who needs the effect of penetration and the ability to ignore vulnerabilities. Thus, the status "Fox's Prayer" is imposed, and the fox goes into the state "Furious Burn" for 3 turns.
3. While the previously applied state is active, the girl's basic attack becomes stronger and deals fire damage to several monsters. As a result, for 3 turns, we use a basic attack on the central or largest enemy target.
4. The super ability itself does not offer any buffs to the group and simply deals damage in an area, without taking into the initial weaknesses of the enemies. We use it as soon as it is ready and preferably to pierce enemies and thus activate the bonus of the third trace.

Advantages and disadvantages

Based on the studied characteristics of Fugue, we will note her strengths and weaknesses as a representative of the debuff class.

Advantages	Disadvantages
A great unit for squads that play on penetration, Fugue fits perfectly into such builds and offers useful bonuses, including the ability to deal damage with super penetration due to the talent.	Fugu cannot be called a universal character of the Non-Being, since her main focus is connected with penetration. She can "cut" the defense, but she copes well with this and sang.
Reduces enemy defense when a teammate attacks them while under the Fox's Prayer status. This is one of the strongest buffs, especially in groups, where Fugue excels.	It has a free analogue in the form of Pioneer of Harmony, which similarly offers the necessary boosts for “punchy” builds and is not much inferior in efficiency.
Allows one target ally to drain Stamina despite the opponent's initial weaknesses thanks to the Fox's Prayer status effect.
Deals damage when using a boosted basic attack and ultimate ability. Moreover, the ultimate ignores enemy vulnerabilities and spreads across the area.
Despite the need for a penetration effect, the parameter itself receives a considerable amount due to the built-in bonuses from traces, which makes assembly easier.

Best Fuuga Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Fugue in HSR is a debuffer who can also deal fire damage, usually through vulnerability penetration. Given the fox girl's mechanics, her build should be built according to the following principles:

• First of all, you need to have penetration effect (ideally at least 220%) to take full advantage of the bonus from the last trace.
• A certain percentage is required effect hit chance - this characteristic will allow you to consistently reduce your opponents' defense.
• Speed, in turn, implies not only more stable damage infliction with an enhanced basic attack, but also additional energy generation.
• In the planar sphere, preference is given to HP or defense, which will make the character "tighter" and help avoid instant death from enemy attacks.

In the following paragraphs, we will take a detailed look at how to build Fugu in XSR. We will provide optimal values ​​for key stats, as well as provide rating tables with the best equipment, which includes light cones, cave relics, and planar jewelry.

Recommended characteristic values

Main parameters in artifacts:

Head	HP (permanent)
Arms	Attack Power (Permanent)
Body	Effect Hit Chance
Legs	Speed
planar sphere	HP/defense
Connecting rope	Penetration effect / if EP ≥ 220%, then energy recovery

Optimal final indicators:

• Penetration effect: from 220%.
• Effect Hit Chance: 67%.
• Speed: from 142-160 units.
• ATK: from 1 units.
• HP (health): from 3-000 units.
• DEF: from 900-1 units.

How to collect 220% Fugue penetration effect

The character needs EP to provide the maximum buff from the "Essence of Fekda" trace. The options that allow increasing this stat are shown below:

• Connecting rope - 64,8%.
• Full talent tree leveling (traces) - 54%.
• Relic Set "The Falling Meteor Thief" - 32%.
• Planar decoration "Thalia - the land of bandits" - 36% or "Lotus Lantern of the Palace" - 40%.
• Signature Light Cone - 60% or Lone Healing - 40%; Fermata - 32%.
• Path of Harmony s: Ruan Mei - 20% (after "Inert Breath") or Pathfinder - 52,5% (150% EP, E4, super ability lvl.10).

Final result: 222,8% with minimal increases (sub-stats are not taken into when calculating).

Best light cone

When considering weapons for Fugue, choose cones Paths of Nothingness with a penetration effect, speed and a chance to hit effects (if you can't reach the required indicator). Also suitable are "cards" that have bonuses for the team or allow you to impose additional debuffs.

The best option is Fugue's signature "Home at the End of a Long Journey", which has a high EP value and allows you to apply a negative status to enemies, increasing the damage received from penetration. However, there are other alternative cones, discussed in the table below.

Best relics

Fugue artifacts should contain the most popular characteristics that match the character's features. This includes increasing the penetration effect, speed, chance of hitting effects (if necessary), as well as various bonuses for damage.

cave relics

planar decorations

Detachments

In XSR, Fuga is a character with debuffering abilities and the ability to deal damage to multiple enemies or an area. The girl's focus is related to breaking through vulnerability, making her a great addition to squads that specialize in draining the stamina bar.

If desired, it can be placed with any damage dealers as a sub-DD or to reduce defense. However, there are often much more accessible and suitable options for these roles, while the heroine in this case will not be able to realize her potential to the maximum, as well as bring enough benefit to the group.

While providing a detailed guide to Fuuga in Honkai: Star Rail for consideration, it is also worth highlighting budget builds with free and epic characters.

Who is better: Fugue E0 or False Pioneer E6

Fugue and The Mock Pioneer perform almost identical functions in the team. In this regard, a completely logical dilemma arises - is Fugue needed if there is a Harmony Pioneer with the maximum number of eidolons? To finally decide which character to give preference to, we will compare them with each other by key bonuses, and in the end we will draw general conclusions.

Fugue Bonuses (E0)	Bonuses of the Imaginary GG (E6)
Penetration effect: +30% to all allies (third trace); +30% to one squad member (level 10 skill).	Penetration effect: +52,5% to all allies (superpower, E4); +30% for 2 turns after the start of the battle (technique).
Super Penetration Damage: 100%. Acts ively due to the talent while Fugue is on the battlefield.	Super Penetration Damage: 120-160%. Requires the "Backup Dancer" status of the superpower.
Own Stamina Damage: 10-20 units from basic attack, 20 units from super ability.	Own Stamina Damage: 50 units from skill.
Other enhancements: Allows you to ignore the vulnerability under the status "Fox's Prayer" and lowers defense (skill). Delays the enemy by 15% if an ally pierces it (first trace).	Other enhancements: Delays the enemy target's movement by an additional 30% when a teammate pierces their vulnerability (third trace).

As a result, Fugue gives the party more various buffs, and also, being a representative of the Nothingness, imposes a weakening on opponents in the form of a decrease in defense, which is an incredibly strong multiplier, especially in such teams. However, it is worth considering that she is a limited-time legendary hero that requires an investment of currency. While the Pathfinder is an absolutely free unit with all eidolons, but is not so significantly inferior, and in some places even sures.

As for the need for certain main damage dealers, the Imaginary GG still shows itself to be optimal in synergy with Rappa. Therefore, the fox is primarily considered as a for these characters.

Is it worth knocking out?

Fugue is a legendary debuffer whose main purpose is to allies by buffing them or weakening enemies. In addition, it can deal damage, but this is only a side focus. First of all, Fugue should be knocked out for squads that play from penetration of vulnerability. It is around this mechanic that the gameplay of the fox is built. It provides allies with an increase in the penetration effect, allows you to ignore the initial weaknesses of enemies, and in addition reduces defense, which is one of the strongest bonuses for this type of teams.

At the same time, it is worth noting that the heroine in her field faces no less worthy competition in the form of a more universal ruan mei or a free Harmony Pathfinder, who do a great job at their job. Based on Fugue's traits, she's primarily a good investment for Rappa and Boothill, as they're the ones who can benefit the most from her. While she also pairs well with Firefly in certain scenarios, she's not exactly a must-have in this case due to the alternatives available. Regardless, she's a character that can find use and will undoubtedly strengthen the squad she's in.

Which is better: signal or E1

Depending on the situation, you can give preference to either the signature weapon "Home at the End of a Long Journey" or the first eidolon. Both options are good choices to varying degrees. Let's look at them in more detail:

• Signature Light Cone provides the highest EP and buffs penetration damage by 36% with some chance (on first awakening). Will be the best option for simplifying the build and increasing the team's damage after the enemy's armor is completely depleted.
• E1, in turn, increases the effectiveness of penetration under the status "Fox Prayer". This is the second such bonus in the game, not counting the skill Ruan Mei. The buff allows you to quickly reduce durability and deal more damage to super penetration, which is an additional "plus" when playing with Firefly.

Thus, the signal is a universal improvement with a significant increase in damage for the group and the easiest way to achieve the required level of EP. Eidolon does not provide a direct increase in DPS, but allows allies to quickly reduce the value of the white bar of stamina of enemies, which expands the functionality of the heroine. However, if the characteristic is already collected in sufficient volume, and the team has Linsha or Gallagher to increase penetrating damage, you can give preference to E1. Otherwise, it is better to choose the light cone.
