Fenghuang of Vicissitude is Fu Hua's S-rank BIO-type Fire gauntlet user: a two-stance martial artist who burns her own HP for power and cannot die. Since v9.0, her Divine Key Vermillion Liuli gives her Astral Ring: Wheel of Destiny, a much simpler Stellar Surplus playstyle and a place back in the meta, both as a DPS and as a support for Ice DPS such as Hi♪ Love Elf♥ and Herrscher of Human: Ego.

  • Bring at least one Ice DMG teammate

Talent priority

Special ATK
Basic ATK
Ultimate

Leader
Evasion

Marisa Impact's v9.0 advice: if you already own her, get the Divine Key and the Senadina AstralOp together. If you still need the battlesuit, she comes from the Battle Pass.

Teams

Wheel of Destiny DPS

Fenghuang of Vicissitude
Wings of Panacea
Hi♪ Love Elf♥

A Breach support (Wings of Panacea, Lone Planetfarer or Deepspace Anchor) plus an Ice support, ideally Hi♪ Love Elf♥ (Herrscher of Human: Ego or Mad Pleasure also work). AstralOp: Senadina.

Grail of Infinitude support (Hi♪ Love Elf♥)

Hi♪ Love Elf♥
Fenghuang of Vicissitude
Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent

She boosts Ice DMG, and an Ice leader gets extra ranged Ice DMG from her.

Part 1 build (no Divine Key)

Fenghuang of Vicissitude
Herrscher of Truth
Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo!

Her pre-Liuli team: Sparkle lets her cast two Ultimates per rotation, but requires Herrscher of Truth for Elemental Breach. Chrono Navi is the alternative to Sparkle.

Guide

How to play

Base kit (both builds)

  • She alternates Punch and Kick stances; Weapon switches stance. Each stance has its own Qi (300): when it is full, hold ATK for a Combo ATK, then tap ATK or Weapon for a Joint ATK.
  • After 3 Combo, Joint or Parry ATKs she ignites Heart Flame for an Enhanced Joint ATK, which drops her HP to 36%. She cannot die: at 0 HP she Rekindles instead.
  • Tapping Evasion without moving enters Parry Stance to block and counter.

With Vermillion Liuli (Wheel of Destiny)

  • The Divine Key unlocks Wheel of Destiny and Stellar Surplus, and a teammate's Weapon Skill or Ultimate triggers her QTE.
  • Once Surplus Intensity reaches 10/20 as the leader, tap a Phantom (your teammate) for a Shadow Star Attack, then mash ATK: she enters By Candlelight and performs a 6-sequence combo that spends HP and turns it into a shield.
  • In Stellar Outburst, her Ultimate becomes A Thousand Weights on a Feather, which scales with the SP and HP she has spent; finishing it ends Stellar Outburst.
  • With an Ice DMG teammate, she gains extra damage, and an Ice leader gets extra ranged Ice DMG from her.

Without the Divine Key (Part 1 build)

  • Play her as before: fill Qi, chain Combo ATK into Joint ATKs, spend Heart Flame on Enhanced Joint ATKs and switch stances with Weapon.

Marisa Impact's loops: Astral Ring Charging = call a support for Shadow Star ATK, spam Basic ATK, Ultimate to finish a wave. Stellar Outburst = buff with supports, enter Outburst, then three times: support (Shadow Star ATK), hold ATK, press ATK (Enhanced Combo ATK); finish with the Ultimate.

Strengths

  • Vermillion Liuli brings her back as a strong Wheel of Destiny DPS with a much simpler rotation.
  • Excellent support for Ice DPS in Wheel of Destiny and Grail of Infinitude teams (Marisa Impact notes Hi♪ Love Elf♥ now uses her as primary support).
  • Very tanky: she cannot die and her Barrier of Phoenix's Flames protects the team.
  • Her new stigma set is partly free (v9.0 login selector) and craftable.

Weaknesses

  • Without the v9.0 Divine Key she has no Astral Ring and falls behind Part 2 battlesuits.
  • She was a Battle Pass battlesuit, and her new gear still comes from the Equipment Supply.
  • Her HP-spending mechanics are unusual and take time to master.

Notable dupes · Rank

S1
Solid upgrade

Elemental Breach +13.8% → +18%.

S2
Optional

Enemies take 21.2% (instead of 17%) more Fire DMG from her.

SS
Optional

Parry ATK chains into Basic ATK SEQ 4/5 and stance switches reset her evasion: mostly improves the Part 1 build.
