Xueyi is a DPS character who focuses on utilizing Break Effect, reducing enemy Toughness, and using Karma stacks for follow-up attacks. She's a unique character because her damage scales with Break Effect.
If you want to try out a unique DPS character with an interesting kit or want to try using Break Effect teams, then Xueyi would be a good character to pull and try out.

Xueyi's DMG can be increased based on the amount of Break Effect she has thanks to her first Bonus Ability. Xueyi can benefit from the full set of Genius of Brilliant Stars as she can deal more Quantum DMG and ignore enemy DEF.
Talia: Kingdom of Banditry will be her best Ornament as she can get more Break Effect as long as she has 145 SPD.
| Stat | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Break Effect | 150% - 250% |
| SPD | 145 / 160+ |
| CRIT Rate | 70% or above |
| CRIT DMG | 120% or above |
| ATK | 2100 - 2300+ |
Since Xueyi boosts her DMG based on her Break Effect, stacking a lot of Break Effect on her is recommended. She also benefits from crit stats, so the ideal 1:2 Ratio for CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG is good to have.
As for Speed, Xueyi needs at least 145 SPD to activate Talia's effect and get two turns in the first and third cycles during battle. Higher SPD is even better, but try to hit SPD Breakpoints.

Xueyi's attacks will let her gain stacks of Karma through depleting the enemy's Toughness. Xueyi can also gain Karma stacks when other allies deplete the enemy's Toughness.
When Xueyi collects enough stacks of Karma, a Follow-up Attack will be inflicted on a single target, dealing Quantum DMG against that enemy!

Xueyi's Technique simply lets her attack an enemy in the overworld and then deal Quantum DMG to all enemies in combat.

I think Hunt March 7th's kit synergizes well with Xueyi. I am hoping March will enable a new Xueyi team that rivals superbreak since HMC & Ruan Mei are glued to Firefly. Fellow Xueyi enthusiasts what do y'all think?

Maybe if you put Hunt March and HMC on the same team. Otherwise, HMC and Ruan Mei are still Xueyi's best supports. The thing with Xueyi is that she needs toughness bars to trigger her FUAs and make her ult more useful on teams without Ruan Mei and HMC. However, when she breaks enemies, they're going to be entangled for awhile which is why those 2 are so important for her play style. She won't have to just rely on FUAs to maximize her damage with them.
