Suisui Quick Build (August 2026)
Updated on 2026-08-11: F2P Variation + Song of Feathered Trace path confirmed for 260% ER; signature stays optional.
Slot | Pick | Why it matters |
|---|
Role | Glacio Rectifier healer / NS buffer | Heals, applies Glacio Chafe, +3 Negative Status cap (Havoc Bane excepted), 25% All DMG Amp on Outro |
Best weapon | Firstlight's Herald | 77% ER, +12% Max HP, Concerto on Liberation, up to 20% team ATK |
F2P weapon | Variation | 51.8% ER + Concerto on Skill; ~5 Echo ER rolls to reach 260% |
Echo set | 5-pc Song of Feathered Trace | Chongming's Feather converts ER into team ATK (cap 25%) when she applies Glacio Chafe |
Main Echo | Forbidden Bastion | Healing Bonus on summon; pairs with Feathered Trace |
Cost layout | 4 / 3 / 3 / 1 / 1 | Healing Bonus or HP% on 4-cost; Energy Regen on both 3-costs; HP% on 1-costs |
Stat floor | 260% ER → 40,000+ HP → ~20% Crit Rate | ER unlocks full ATK / DMG buffs; Crit beyond 20% returns little |
Best teams | Xuanling / Chisa / Suisui · Hiyuki / Lucilla / Suisui | Havoc Bane and Glacio Chafe cores |
What Suisui does
Heals the party while she runs her on-field stance loop
Applies Glacio Chafe for Chafe teams and for Song of Feathered Trace triggers
Raises Negative Status stack caps by 3 (Havoc Bane excluded)
Outro Skill: 25% All DMG Amplification for 30s
Off-field Plume Step every 6s: heal + Chafe, then ATK / DMG buffs from Floral Epistle
Her Liberation costs 175 Energy. Low ER stalls the whole rotation. Build ER first. Stack HP second.
Suisui Best Weapons
Rank | Weapon | ER (Lv.90) | Who should use it |
|---|
1 | Firstlight's Herald | 77.0% | Best in slot; skip on F2P unless you already own it |
2 | Stellar Symphony | 77.0% | Strong alt if Shorekeeper's signature sits idle |
3 | Variation | 51.8% | Default F2P pick |
4 | Call of the Abyss | 51.8% | Budget backup; Healing Bonus on Liberation |
Skip | Rectifier#25 | 51.8% | ATK passive wastes value on an HP / ER support |
Firstlight's Herald cuts Echo ER pressure by ~25% versus Variation and adds the Snow Taint + Ripples ATK package. Variation clears 260% if you tune about five Energy Regen substats. Bank those 60–70 weapon pulls for the next limited Resonator unless that ATK window is the only way you clear.
Suisui Best Echoes & Stats
Piece | Main stat | Substat priority |
|---|
4-cost | Healing Bonus or HP% | Energy Regen → HP% → Flat HP |
3-cost ×2 | Energy Regen (or ER + HP%/Glacio after 260%) | Same |
1-cost ×2 | HP% | Same |
Set picks
Song of Feathered Trace (5-pc) + Forbidden Bastion: BiS on Glacio Chafe / Negative Status teams
Rejuvenating Glow (5-pc) + Fallacy of No Return: early farm or non-NS flex teams
Moonlit Clouds + Impermanence Heron: Concerto / quick-swap flex if you already own the set
Target line:
Energy Regen 260%: allies gain up to 12% DMG dealt and up to 50% ATK from Floral Epistle thresholds
HP 40,000+: heals and her life-save Inherent scale off Max HP
Crit Rate ~20%: enough; stop chasing Crit after ER and HP land
How Suisui's Rotation Works
Suisui runs two stances: Zephyr (fill Forte with basics / plunges) and Drizzle (spend Forte, bank Floral Epistle). Switch stance once Forte fills, then dump into Liberation and Outro.
Off-field loop (you need Ult + max Forte + 600 Floral Epistle before you leave):
Time | Action | Buff |
|---|
0s | Outro | 25% All DMG Amp (30s) |
Every 6s | Plume Step Dance (−200 Forte) | Heal + 1 Glacio Chafe; interrupt resist |
After Sub-DPS holds ≥6s | Sub-DPS Outro → Main DPS | Main DPS can inherit the 50% ATK package |
12s / 18s | Extra dances | Active character DMG bonuses stack with ER thresholds |
On-field cleanup tips
Intro or Skill into Drizzle when the fight allows
Dash-cancel the first Skill hit
Four basics to refill Forte; cancel the 4th with Liberation
Echo Skill, then Outro to your Sub-DPS
Keep the Sub-DPS on field at least six seconds so the Main DPS receives the full ATK handoff. Short swap chains waste her kit.
How to Build Suisui Step by Step
Equip Variation (or Firstlight's Herald if you own it) and level it to 90.
Farm Song of Feathered Trace; put Forbidden Bastion in the main slot with Healing Bonus or HP%.
Force both 3-cost mains onto Energy Regen until the character sheet shows 260% ER.
Fill remaining substats with HP% until you sit near 40,000 HP.
Raise skills in this order: Intro → Resonance Skill → Liberation (8–10) → Normal Attack (6) → Forte (6).
Practice the stance → Liberation → Outro loop in a training room before Tower floors.
Normal Attack and Forte deal little personal damage. Stop dumping materials into them after level 6.
Suisui Best Teams
Team | Lineup | Echo notes | When to run it |
|---|
S+ Havoc Bane | Yangyang: Xuanling / Chisa / Suisui | Suisui on Feathered Trace | Patch ceiling; see the 3.5 Tier List |
S Glacio Chafe | Hiyuki / Lucilla / Suisui | Same | Suisui replaces Chisa for clean 1-2-3 rotations |
Flex Glacio | Hiyuki / Lynae / Suisui | Rejuvenating Glow OK | When Lucilla is busy |
Fusion Burst* | Aemeath / Denia / Suisui | Rejuvenating Glow / Moonlit | Needs S1 so the ATK buff does not require stack consume |
Budget Havoc | Xuanling / Mortefi or Electro Rover / Suisui | Feathered Trace or Glow | F2P path while Chisa is locked |
*S0 Suisui struggles on Fusion Burst and Spectro Frazzle because those cores do not consume Negative Status the way her ATK buff expects. Pull S1 before you force those teams.
Cross-check Hiyuki pull value on the Hiyuki vs Denia F2P banner guide if you still need a Glacio carry.

Suisui Sequences (Worth It?)
Sequence | Effect | Pull advice |
|---|
S1 | NS characters gain 50% ATK without consuming stacks; longer Shadow buff; more interrupt immunity | First real spike; unlocks Fusion / Frazzle comfort |
S2 | +50% Crit DMG for NS characters inside Ult ring (Chisa Havoc Bane caveat) | Strong stop for spenders |
S3 | Basic after stance switch → 20 Concerto + 350 Forte | Rotation QoL |
S4 | +50% Healing | Comfort |
S5 | Drizzle basics / heavies +100% DMG | Personal damage vanity |
S6 | Intro + stance switch +500% Crit DMG | Whale flex |
F2P: stop at S0 unless you main Aemeath Fusion Burst. Then S1 earns its keep.
FAQ
Does Suisui need her signature weapon?
No. Variation reaches 260% Energy Regen with Echo investment. Firstlight's Herald saves substats and adds ~20% team ATK, but character pity and the next limited Resonator return more for most accounts.
Why is 260% Energy Regen mandatory?
Floral Epistle buffs scale from 200% to 260% ER. At the cap you unlock the full 12% DMG dealt and 50% ATK packages, and her 175-cost Liberation stays available every rotation. Drop below 200% and the kit collapses.
Is Suisui better than Shorekeeper or Chisa?
On Negative Status teams she outbuffs both on paper. Shorekeeper stays stronger as a generic healer. Chisa still wins on Cartethyia and keeps personal DPS on Xuanling teams. Own Chisa + Suisui together for the S+ Xuanling core listed on the 3.5 Tier List.
What Echo set should F2P farm first?
Song of Feathered Trace if you already run Hiyuki or Xuanling. Otherwise start on Rejuvenating Glow with Fallacy of No Return, then migrate when Feathered Trace pieces drop.
Can I build Crit Rate and Crit DMG on Suisui?
Cap Crit Rate near 20% and move on. Her value sits in heals, Chafe, Outro amp, and ER-scaled ATK. Crit farming delays the 260% check.
Conclusion
Build Suisui around 260% Energy Regen, Variation (or Firstlight's Herald), and Song of Feathered Trace + Forbidden Bastion. Park her on Xuanling / Chisa or Hiyuki / Lucilla, keep Floral Epistle at 600 before Outro, and skip the weapon banner unless Astrite overflows. Bookmark this Suisui build guide; we update the tables when Echo sets or team comps shift. When pity sits one ten-pull short, top up Lunites on BitTopup and finish the Convene.
