Mi Fu
Searly game dps
dpsphysicalguardcrush
Mi Fu is a top-tier Crush DPS who can stack Vulnerability on enemies to amplify her own burst damage while also applying Physical Susceptibility for her team. Her S+ rating in the source is converted to S here because the schema uses a simpler tier scale. She is incredibly strong in mono-physical teams but her optimal rotation depends on maintaining Vulnerability stacks, which some boss mechanics can disrupt.
This early game build focuses on giving Mi Fu enough Strength, Attack, and Arts Intensity to use her Battle Skill chain effectively while keeping her alive with Armored MSGR's defensive bonus. Ancient Canal acts as her main weapon because it can be triggered by her Crush hits and offers the two most important stats for her damage at this stage. Once better gear becomes available, players should transition to the Grizzled Edge set and Amaranthine Tassel for the full DPS ceiling.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Mi Fu's Battle Skill Qingbo Triplex is a three-move chain: Cloudtrapper pulls enemies or closes distance, Trail and Mangle applies Crush, and World Splitter delivers massive Crush damage that scales with Arts Intensity.
- Her Combo Skill Fists of No Regrets triggers when an enemy has 3 or more Vulnerability stacks, applying Physical Susceptibility and resetting her next Battle Skill to Trail and Mangle.
- Her Ultimate Pile of No Mercy can Lift and Stagger enemies, and it also grants a Vulnerability stack that helps unlock her combo chain more reliably.
Scaling
- Mi Fu scales strongly with Strength, Attack, Physical DMG, and Arts Intensity because her highest multiplier, World Splitter, is treated as Crush damage rather than normal skill damage.
- Her full damage potential is gated by how consistently she can maintain 3+ Vulnerability stacks on a target; encounters that clear debuffs or phase-change can sharply cut her rotation effectiveness.
- She gains extra value from teammates who can apply Physical Susceptibility, such as Lifeng or Ardelia, allowing her to circumvent some of her own stack limitations.
Team Role
Mi Fu functions as the primary physical carry in a mono-physical composition, using her high burst damage to remove elite enemies and bosses. She brings a unique debuff package: Physical Susceptibility from her Combo Skill and Crush application from her Battle Skill, which synergizes with physical and crush-focused allies. In terms of positioning, she wants to be the controlled operator so the player can manually chain her Battle Skill moves, and she appreciates teammates who can keep enemies vulnerable or grouped so her World Splitter can hit multiple targets. She struggles when played as a sub-DPS because her rotation requires constant active use to build Vulnerability stacks, so she performs best as the focal point of the team's damage output.

Explanation
Ancient Canal is recommended in the early game because it provides Strength and Arts Intensity, two stats that directly improve Mi Fu's Crush procs and World Splitter damage, while its skill triggers frequently alongside her Crush applications.
Armored MSGR's 4-piece set grants +50 Strength, which is a huge relative boost at low levels, and the under-50% HP damage reduction makes her durable enough to stay on the front line while chaining Battle Skills.
Industry 0.1 is a decent placeholder from Arsenal Exchange or treasure chests; it lacks Arts Intensity but still supplies Suppression and Attack stats that let Mi Fu function until a better weapon shows up.
Notes
- Ancient Canal's Brutality skill is easy for Mi Fu to trigger because she procs Crush so often, and the Strength and Arts Intensity bonuses help her damage at lower investment.
- Armored MSGR gives a flat Strength bonus that directly increases physical damage, and its conditional damage reduction gives her a safety net while she fights in melee range.
- Industry 0.1 is a serviceable substitute if you need a more accessible weapon before pulling Ancient Canal.
