Roxy
Resident Manager of the Flint Workshop
Roxy is an S-Rank Wind Stun Agent from the Flint Workshop and Claret's assistant. Her EX Special Attack turns her into a tornado you steer around the arena: the Energy she spends becomes Wind Energy, which generates Eyes of the Storm that she then detonates into Windstorms. Whenever Windswept enemies get Contaminated, she gives the squad up to +40% CRIT DMG (or +20% Laceration DMG for Armorers) based on her CRIT Rate, which makes her Claret's natural partner. Game8 ranks her Tier 1+.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- CRIT Rate 100% (caps her squad CRIT DMG / Laceration DMG buff; 50% minimum for King of the Summit)
- Initial Energy Regen as high as possible, up to 3.12 (Core Passive cap: +960 ATK, +76.8 Impact)
- Then CRIT DMG and ATK for her own damage
Talent priority
Unlike most Stun Agents, she doesn't build Impact: her Core Passive turns Energy Regen into Impact and ATK. Energy Regen is not a Drive Disc substat, so it has to come from her W-Engine, Disc 6 and 2-piece bonuses.
Recommended teams
Premium: Claret & Rina
Her best team according to every source (Game8, Pocket Tactics, zzz-build), and HoYoverse's first official recommendation. Claret is an Armorer, so Roxy's Additional Ability is active and she gives Claret up to +20% Laceration DMG on Electric and Wind DMG once Claret's hits Contaminate Windswept enemies. Bangboo: Ultra Jake (Game8).
Ice Attack: Sigrid & Astra Yao
An official HoYoverse recommendation, also listed by Pocket Tactics and zzz-build; Game8 suggests Sigrid as an alternative DPS and Astra Yao as an alternative Support. Sigrid's Ice hits Contaminate Windswept enemies, giving the squad up to +40% CRIT DMG on Ice and Wind DMG, and as an Attack Agent she activates Roxy's Additional Ability. HoYoverse's third official squad, Yixuan + Lucia, works on the same principle with Yixuan as a Rupture Agent.
How to play
Resources
- Energy → Wind Energy: every 25 Energy she spends gives 1 Wind Energy (3 max), and her Ultimate grants 1 Wind Energy.
- Energy Regen → ATK and Impact: every 0.01 initial Energy Regen above 1.2 gives +5 ATK and +0.4 Impact, capped at +960 ATK and +76.8 Impact (3.12 Energy Regen). That's why she builds Energy Regen instead of Impact.
Core loop
- Hold EX Special Attack Don't Catch a Chill: she slides forward, then turns into a tornado (Whirlwind state) that you steer to pull enemies together. She is invulnerable during the skill, but it keeps draining Energy, and each tier of Energy spent gives 1 Wind Energy.
- When her Energy runs out or you release the button and the joystick, she automatically follows up with EX Special Attack Kindly Rest in Peace: a wind cannon that spends all her Wind Energy. Each point adds an extra hit and generates an Eye of the Storm (up to 9 on the field, for 30s).
- If 3 or more Eyes of the Storm are on the field, she then automatically chains into Special Attack Forgive Me for Not Seeing You Off: it detonates up to 3 Eyes at once, creating one Miniature Windstorm per Eye, or a single Giant Windstorm when three go off together. You don't cast it yourself: her manual Special Attack is a different skill (Much Obliged).
- Swap to your DPS, and come back to Roxy for EX Special Attacks, her Chain Attack (Gale-Burial Great Hammer) and her Ultimate (Requiem for the Night-Burial).
Contamination and squad buffs
- Roxy builds Wind Anomaly (with her Additional Ability active, her EX Special Attack raises her Anomaly Buildup Rate by 30% for 50s) to make enemies Windswept. When a teammate hits a Windswept enemy with their attribute, the enemy becomes Contaminated.
- Every Contamination, and every Cleanse (triggered when Forgive Me for Not Seeing You Off hits a Windswept enemy, restoring it to its state before Contamination), gives the whole squad a 50s buff for that attribute and for Wind: +0.4% CRIT DMG per 1% of Roxy's CRIT Rate (up to +40%) for non-Armorers, or +0.2% Laceration DMG (up to +20%) for Armorers. Both caps need 100% CRIT Rate.
- Re-applying Windswept to an enemy that is already Windswept also grants the buff for the overwritten Contamination attribute.
Additional Ability
With an Attack, Rupture or Armorer Agent in the squad:
- Roxy deals 8% more DMG.
- The squad's hits raise the enemy's Stun DMG Multiplier by 30%, and Stun lasts 2s longer (doesn't stack with similar effects).
- Windswept enemies take 8% more direct Wind DMG and direct DMG of the Contaminating attribute.
- Roxy restores 40 Energy when she enters the battlefield, Windswept applied by any squad member lasts 20s longer, and her EX Special Attack raises her Anomaly Buildup Rate.
HoYoverse's official recommended squads are Claret + Rina, Sigrid + Astra Yao, and Yixuan + Lucia.
Game8 notes that she takes a fair amount of field time and juggles several resources (Energy, Wind Energy, Eyes of the Storm): time her EX Special Attack around your DPS's buffs.
Strengths
- Squad-wide CRIT DMG buff (up to +40%) that works with any attribute able to Contaminate Windswept enemies, plus Wind.
- One of the very few sources of Laceration DMG for Armorers: Claret's natural Stun partner.
- Her Additional Ability makes Stun last 2s longer and raises the Stun DMG Multiplier by 30%: more time and more damage for your DPS.
- Her steerable tornado pulls enemies together, handy against groups.
- Her signature W-Engine adds +20% DMG for the rest of the squad.
Weaknesses
- Takes a fair amount of field time for a Stun Agent.
- Juggles several resources: Energy, Wind Energy and Eyes of the Storm.
- Gear-hungry: she wants both 100% CRIT Rate and very high Energy Regen.
- Her squad buffs depend on Windswept and Contamination, and her Additional Ability needs an Attack, Rupture or Armorer teammate.
Notable dupes · Mindscape Cinema
When EX Special Attack Kindly Rest in Peace hits, enemies' All-Attribute RES drops by 15% for 50s, which helps the whole squad, and she gains 40% CRIT DMG. Game8's top Mindscape for her.
Don't Catch a Chill deals 5% more Daze. Each Eye of the Storm detonated gives 1 Windflow stack (max 3); if she switches out during Whirlwind, she consumes them all and each stack keeps Whirlwind going 0.2s longer (max 0.6s) without spending Energy. Enemies hit by Don't Catch a Chill also get +30% Stun DMG Multiplier until they recover from Stun.
A Defensive Assist that parries an attack restores 1 Energy and her Dodge Counter restores 2 Energy (once per skill), and her Ultimate deals 20% more DMG and 10% more Daze.
One of her two key Mindscapes with M2 according to zzz-build. Her attacks ignore 15% Wind RES. A Giant Windstorm also marks its main target, which spawns 2 more Giant Windstorms on it (one every 3s), and Giant Windstorms deal 250% of their original DMG with 20% more Daze.
