Trace priority
- Talent
- Ultimate
- Skill
- Basic ATK
Xueyi gains Karma whenever allies damage Toughness, converts it into follow-up attacks and uses Ultimate to deal universal Toughness damage.
How to play it
- 1Let the team attack weakness to build Xueyi's Karma quickly.
- 2Use Skill into multiple weakness bars whenever possible.
- 3Cast Ultimate on the priority target's remaining Toughness, then exploit the Break window with follow-up and Super Break damage.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
The review tracks Karma from Toughness damage, follow-up frequency and Super Break conversion. Break and CRIT requirements are listed together but not allowed to erase the 134/145-SPD action target.

E0 Quantum Break hybrid. Break Effect only becomes damage through Toughness reduction and Break/Super Break windows; do not farm it for enemies whose Toughness cannot be damaged.
