Mi Fu
Sendgame 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.
This endgame build maximizes Mi Fu's Crush damage through Amaranthine Tassel and Grizzled Edge. The weapon's buffs trigger reliably from her rotation, and the gear set synergizes with her Vulnerability consumption, resulting in massive burst damage on World Splitter and sustained Physical DPS.
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
Amaranthine Tassel's Combative skill grants Arts Intensity when applying Physical Susceptibility (via Combo Skill) and Physical DMG when applying Crush, directly amplifying her primary damage sources.
Grizzled Edge set piece bonuses provide Strength and Physical DMG, while the set effect increases Physical DMG based on Vulnerability stacks consumed. The Swordmancer NAV Beacon off-piece adds high Strength and Arts Intensity, outperforming other options.
Notes
- Amaranthine Tassel is BiS due to its synergy with Mi Fu's Crush and Physical Susceptibility application, granting both Physical DMG and Arts Intensity.
- Grizzled Edge set boosts ATK and provides scaling Physical DMG when applying Crush or Breach, especially effective against enemies with Physical Susceptibility.
