Mi Fu Best Build Guide - Weapons, Gear & Teams
Complete progression guide from level 1 to 80+ with BiS weapons, gear sets, and team compositions
Mi Fu Best Build - Quick Summary
Skill Priority
Battle Skill provides Physical application. Ultimate gives team-wide buffs. Combo Skill triggers easily on Final Strike.
Best Team Compositions
6★ Physical Crush DPS Guard introduced in V1.3. Mi Fu fights through her Qingbo Triplex three-move rotation: Cloudtrapper pulls and groups enemies, Trail and Mangle applies Crush, and consuming 3 or more Vulnerability stacks unlocks World Splitter for a massive Crush finisher. Her Combo Skill applies Physical Susceptibility, and she can self-generate Vulnerability, letting her set up and detonate her own Crush windows. A premier carry for mono-Physical Crush teams.
Strength, Attack, Physical DMG, and Arts Intensity (Arts Intensity amplifies the Crush damage from Trail and Mangle and World Splitter). Build around landing Crush on Vulnerable enemies, consume 3 or more Vulnerability stacks to fuel World Splitter, and let the Grizzled Edge set scale Physical DMG with every stack consumed. She needs steady SP, so run at least one Vanguard or battery, or pick an energy-focused gear variant.
Battle Skill > Basic Attack > Ultimate > Combo Skill
Run the Qingbo Triplex three-move rotation: Cloudtrapper to pull and group, Trail and Mangle to apply Crush while consuming 3 or more Vulnerability stacks, then World Splitter for a heavy Crush finisher. Weave the Combo Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility (which raises the Grizzled Edge bonus to 1.5x) and Basic Attacks to recover SP. Build Strength, Physical DMG, and Arts Intensity, and run at least one Vanguard or battery since her opener is SP hungry. Coordinate with Vulnerability and Physical Susceptibility appliers like Chen Qianyu, Lifeng, and Ardelia, plus Pogranichnik for Breach.

Note: Use when the team does not feed Mi Fu energy
Fully F2P fallback that still gives strong Strength and survivability while you farm Grizzled Edge.
Tip: Hold until you complete Grizzled Edge 3pc, then switch for the Crush scaling

Final Build Optimization
Cloudtrapper (Move 1, pull and group enemies, replaces the next skill with Move 2) into Trail and Mangle (Move 2, applies Crush and consumes 3 or more Vulnerability stacks) into World Splitter (Move 3, high Crush finisher). Weave Combo Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility and Basic Attacks to recover SP, then repeat.
Open by stacking Vulnerability (your own and your team's) on the target. Use Cloudtrapper to group enemies, fire Trail and Mangle to apply Crush while consuming stacks, then cash out with World Splitter. Apply Physical Susceptibility via Combo Skill to push the Grizzled Edge bonus to 1.5x.
Consume 3 or more Vulnerability stacks with Trail and Mangle to unlock World Splitter, the main Crush finisher
Apply Physical Susceptibility with the Combo Skill to raise the Grizzled Edge set bonus to 1.5x
Arts Intensity is a real damage stat for Mi Fu because it scales the Crush damage from Move 2 and Move 3
Pick the energy-free Grizzled Edge build when a teammate covers her SP, and the energy variant (Swordmancer Light Armor) when she must self-fund
Run at least one Vanguard or battery, her Cloudtrapper opener is SP hungry
Amaranthine Tassel is the highest-value pull for Mi Fu mains thanks to its Crush and Physical Susceptibility synergy
Stern Crackdown talent boosts World Splitter against Susceptible or Staggered enemies, so coordinate Stagger with your team
P0 viable: her full Crush rotation works without any promotions
