Mi Fu
Searly game dps
dpsguard
Mi Fu ranks highly as a Crush DPS due to her ability to self-stack Vulnerable and apply Physical Susceptibility, boosting her own damage and enabling mono-Physical teams. However, her optimal rotation depends on reaching 3 Vulnerable stacks for her Combo Skill, which can be disrupted by boss mechanics like phase changes. She can mitigate this using her Ultimate to apply a Vulnerable stack, or rely on teammates like Lifeng or Ardelia for Physical Susceptibility.
For early game, Mi Fu relies on Ancient Canal and Armored MSGR to get a foundation in Strength and Arts Intensity. This budget build allows her to start applying Crush effectively while staying durable, transitioning well into late-game gear.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Applies Vulnerable stacks through her Combo Skill and Ultimate, with Combo Skill requiring 3+ stacks.
- Battle Skill has three moves: Cloudtrapper (pull/gap-close), Trail and Mangle (applies Crush, consumes 3 stacks for next move), and World Splitter (massive Crush damage).
- Combo Skill Fists of No Regrets applies Physical Susceptibility and replaces next Battle Skill with Move 2.
- Ultimate Pile of No Mercy applies Lift and adds a Vulnerable stack to enable rotation.
Scaling
- Scales primarily with Strength, Attack, Physical DMG, and Arts Intensity (for Crush damage).
- Late-game power spike requires investment in talents like <talent>Stern Crackdown</talent> (boosts World Splitter against affected targets).
- Team-dependent for consistent Physical Susceptibility and stacking Vulnerable against resistant enemies.
Team Role
Mi Fu functions as the primary physical DPS in teams centered around Crush and Vulnerable stacking. She synergizes best with characters who can apply Physical Susceptibility (e.g., Lifeng, Ardelia) or help stack Vulnerable quickly. In mono-Physical compositions, her self-buffing and team-wide Physical Susceptibility elevate overall damage. She can be played as a controlled operator, weaving Basic Attacks between Battle Skills to maintain uptime on her damage buffs.

Explanation
Ancient Canal's Brutality skill gives Arts Intensity when consuming Vulnerable, and its Strength and Arts Intensity substats improve both physical and Crush damage.
Armored MSGR's set bonus grants Strength, and each piece provides useful stats for survivability and damage. This setup is easy to obtain and effective for early game content.
Notes
- Ancient Canal provides Strength and Arts Intensity, important for early Crush procs.
- Armored MSGR set offers Strength and survivability, with gyros boosting Attack.
