Recommended Skill Sets
High-speed priority Physical ATK build

Flying Feather
Why pick this skill
0 Energy Swift dispel securing priority while removing enemy buffs, forms a status counter combo with Feather Blade and Tornado
Notes
- Banxiao has high 115 SPD and balanced 112 P.ATK/M.ATK output. The trait Soulchaser Bird makes attack skills with energy cost ≤1 unable to damage itself, but the only attack skill with energy cost ≤1 in the skill list is Feather (0 energy), so actual benefit is limited.
- Banxiao lacks same-type attribute skills (Wing-type), all skills are non-attribute, need to pay attention to coverage issues.
- Gale Stab (25 energy) and Fan Wind (75 energy) both have first-strike benefits, which can reliably trigger special effects when combined with high Speed base stats.
- Feather Flight (0 cost) has both Swift tag and dispel function, is an excellent support skill
- Feather Blade and Tornado both have counter status extra effects, suitable for targeting specific opponents
- Banxiao has a shallow skill pool, and high-power skills have high energy costs (Diving Slam 140, Whirlwind Storm 100), requiring reasonable buff and damage output pairing.
