Overview
Guinaifen is a 4★ Fire Nihility from Xianzhou Luofu, playing Sub-DPS in most teams. Fire Nihility Break specialist who applies Burn and Break Effect debuffs.
How to Play
Guinaifen wins by keeping debuffs rolling. Apply core debuffs with Skill or Ultimate before your carry acts, and build Effect Hit Rate so bosses cannot resist key effects. Lead with Weakness Break, then convert Break damage into your carry window.
Optimal Rotation
Turn 1: Guinaifen Ultimate or Skill to land debuffs → swap to DPS while debuffs tick → refresh debuffs before expiry. Against bosses, prioritize Effect RES shred before damage dealers act.
Strengths
Guinaifen excels in Fire Nihility teams from Xianzhou Luofu. Flexible off-field value that frees Skill Points for your Main DPS. As a 4★, they punch above their rarity with the right investment.
Weaknesses
Guinaifen struggles against high Effect RES or debuff-immune bosses. Without another debuff source, damage drops sharply.
Investment Priority
E0 Guinaifen clears story and Simulated Universe. For Memory of Chaos, level talents to at least 6/8/8, farm recommended relics from their build page, and hit Speed breakpoints with SPD boots. Max a 4★ Light Cone at S5 before chasing Eidolons — duplicates are cheaper and scale well.
