Summary
The leaked stats for Feixiao inHonkai: Star Rail2.5 could completely change the game if the information provided so far is accurate. Version 2.5 is still weeks away given that the turn-based RPG by HoYoverse has just entered Version 2.4. However, the beta tests for the next update have commenced and the upcoming content has started to be leaked. This means that the details about the new characters in Version 2.5, namely the 5-star units Feixiao and Lingsha, and the 4-star character Moze, have started to leak. Version 2.5 will continue to focus on the Xianzhou Alliance.
According to new information provided by the leaker known as Sakura Haven, which was shared in a post tagged as “Reliable” onReddit,all of Feixiao’s base stats inHonkai: Star Railhave leaked. While most of them seem ordinary from an initial standpoint, there is one of her stats that stands out immensely. As seen in the leak, Feixiao has a total of 125 base SPD, making her the fastest character in the game. This makes her surpass Seele, who is currently the fastest character in the game with 115 base SPD.
Honkai: Star Rail - Best March 7th Hunt Builds (Light Cones, Relics, Team Comps)
March 7th (Hunt) has two possible builds in Honkai: Star Rail. Here are all the details of each one to ensure you don’t make any mistakes.
Feixiao’s SPD Stat In Honkai: Star Rail Could Be Revolutionary
The Character’s Presence In Battle Is Augmented By Other Abilities, Too
In addition to the rumored 125 base SPD, which is already surprisingly high, the leak mentions that one of Feixiao’s passive Traces unlocks an extra 5 points of SPD,taking her up to 130 SPD without any work on her build via Relics or Ornaments. Furthermore, Feixiao’s leaked Skill says that, after dealing damage, her action is Advanced Forward. If all of this is true, Feixiao may be the first to strike in most battles and then continuously be present in combat. This may be a reflection of her deep alignment to the Wind element inHonkai: Star Rail.
“Seele has fallen into disuse as a DPS, despite her high SPD.”
Based on the leaked gameplay kit, Feixiao is expected to be a powerful damage dealer and,given that she already has such a high base SPD, it may be very easy to build her. In fact, players may not even have to invest in a SPD boot to reach even more satisfying SPD stats. This way, players can invest in an ATK boot, which would benefit her damage output. As a Hunt character, Feixiao could also equip the In The Night Light Cone, the best forSeele’s build inHonkai: Star Rail.
This would give the 5-star item a brand new purpose while also boosting all of Feixiao’s offensive abilities – though it would not benefit her rumored follow-up attacks. Nevertheless,In The Night would not go to waste with Feixiao. Despite currently being the fastest unit in the game, Seele has fallen in disuse amidst the release of other main DPS characters. In fact, her reign that started back in Version 1.0 did not last too long, and her damage potential was quickly overruled by other DPS, such asBlade inHonkai: Star Rail.
Seele was the first 5-star character to be featured in a limited banner.
As such, Feixiao’s rumored SPD stat should not be too celebrated, as it may not translate into too much gameplay value. Additionally, the leak should be taken with a grain of salt, as it may be incorrect or subject to change leading up to Version 2.5’s release. However, the upcoming character’s high leaked base SPD stat along with her follow-up attack-centered gameplay kit inHonkai: Star Raildoes seem promising.
