Feixiao Ascension & Trace Guide 2026: The Ultimate Hunt DPS for MoC

Hey fellow Trailblazers! It's 2026, and with the latest reruns, Feixiao is back in the spotlight. As one of the legendary Seven Arbiter-Generals of the Xianzhou Luofu, her reputation as a powerhouse Hunt DPS is still rock solid. While the meta has seen a lot of shifts since her debut, Feixiao's raw single-target damage potential keeps her firmly in the 'S-tier' for Memory of Chaos (MoC) runs. I've been maining her since day one, and let me tell you, a fully built Feixiao is an absolute monster.

Getting her ready for battle, though, requires some serious resource investment. Let's break down EVERYTHING you need to know to make our General unstoppable.

First up, the grind. Here's the complete shopping list for maxing Feixiao to level 80 and crowning all her traces. She shares a lot of her mats with Moze, which is handy if you pulled them together.

• Enemy Drops: You'll be farming a LOT of these from common foes.

  • Artifex's Module

  • Artifex's Cogwheel

  • Artifex's Gyreheart

• Boss Drop: This one's unique to her.

  • A Glass of the Besotted Era

• Trace Materials: Stockpile these bad boys.

  • Meteoric Bullet

  • Destined Expiration

  • Countertemporal Shot

• Weekly Boss Drop: Save your TBP for Echo of War!

  • Regret of Infinite Ochema

Now, here's the PRO-TIP for 2026 planners. Almost everything can be pre-farmed... except for one key item.

That's right, 'A Glass of the Besotted Era' is a special Stagnant Shadow drop from the Penacony Grand Theater area, added back in version 2.5. It's kinda funny—she's a Xianzhou general, but her ascension needs a taste of Penacony's "vintage." 😅 You cannot get this material before her banner is live, so mark your calendars and save that Trailblaze Power for day one! This is the only real gatekeeper to instantly boosting her to max ascension.

Alright, with her level maxed, let's talk about where her real power lies: Traces. This is what separates a good Feixiao from a universe-clearing one.

Let's be real, her Basic Attack is... basic. Standard modifiers, no fancy effects. You can totally leave this at level 1 or 4 to save a significant chunk of resources. It's your number one priority to skip for efficient building.

Now for the good stuff! 🚀 Her kit is where the magic happens.

1. ULTIMATE (Top Priority ⭐⭐⭐): This is her BIGGEST damage button. The best part? It works like Acheron's—it activates based on stacks (gained from ally attacks) instead of Energy! This means in long fights like MoC, she can spam her ult way more often than traditional characters. MAX THIS FIRST, NO QUESTIONS.

2. SKILL & TALENT (Equal Priority ⭐⭐): These two are tied for second place. Her Skill and Talent work together to enable her powerful follow-up attacks, which are a core part of her damage rotation. Leveling both evenly ensures her sustained DPS is always high.

So, the definitive trace leveling order is:

Ultimate (10) > Skill (10) = Talent (10) > Basic Attack (1-4)

Don't forget her Tree Traces (the stat nodes on the side)! These provide massive free stats:

• CRIT Rate% - The most valuable stat for a DPS. Always unlock these.

• ATK% - More attack, more damage. Simple math!

• DEF% - A nice survivability bonus, especially helpful for newer players.

Max out all the small stat nodes—they're incredibly resource-efficient for the power they give. The cost is minimal compared to the main traces, and the Crit Rate alone is worth it.

To wrap it up, building Feixiao in 2026 is still a fantastic investment. She demands your attention and resources, but repays you with some of the most satisfying big numbers in the game against single targets. Pre-farm everything you can, be ready to sprint to that new Stagnant Shadow, and focus your trace levels wisely. Go forth, Trailblazer, and unleash the General's fury!
