Exploring BD Cricket Live Value of Wuxian Pipa
This afternoon, the newly revealed Wuxian Pipa character in Wuhua Mixin drew instant attention across the BD Cricket Live community. Her design is best summed up by the saying, “If you’ve glimpsed the future, why not act on it?”—a perfect reflection of her gameplay utility. At her core, Pipa offers two main functions via her class skill: damage and energy regeneration. While her raw damage output isn’t stellar on its own, it is enhanced by up to five stacks of the “Residual Echo” effect and a wide-area ultimate that enables the “Ensemble” state to boost team damage.
Even with maximum stacks, Pipa’s skill damage isn’t her real selling point. The true value lies in her ability to regenerate energy for allies—a core aspect that becomes more evident when examining her passive abilities. Her ultimate generates a three-tile radius Ensemble zone. Within this zone, allies’ normal attacks and skills trigger additional structural damage based on Pipa’s attack power, with estimates ranging from 50% to 70%.
There are two caveats: First, Ensemble only activates when allies deal skill or basic attack damage—it does not trigger from indirect sources like relic damage or trap-based attacks. Second, each instance of attack damage triggers Ensemble, making it incredibly effective when paired with multi-hit characters like Jinbei, whose ultimate consists of six damage instances. In such team comps, Pipa becomes the glue that amplifies each strike.
As for passives, the first is her inability to land critical hits. That’s by design—since her primary value comes from additive elemental damage, not raw crit numbers. Instead, she benefits from a substantial base attack boost, potentially around 40% to 60%. Her Residual Echo stacks are generated when Ensemble damage is triggered, so they’re relatively easy to build during combat.
Her second passive introduces two more effects: Melody and Harmonic Layer. Melody allows Pipa to deal bonus damage when the enemy takes three Ensemble hits in a single round—estimates place this multiplier between 170% and 190%. Clearly, this setup is custom-made for multi-hit allies, especially Jinbei. Harmonic Layer then adds a 30% team damage bonus if three Ensemble hits occur in one round, reinforcing the idea that Pipa is a specialized enabler for rapid-fire comps.
Her final passive enhances both her damage and her energy-regen utility. It increases her additive damage and grants penetration buffs in the range of 20% to 40%. When all these effects are combined, Pipa essentially becomes a dual-role enabler and amplifier—akin to a dedicated Jinbei support in the current version.
According to BD Cricket Live testing, Pipa can boost Jinbei’s ultimate damage by roughly 80% to 120% while also generating enough energy for rapid ult rotations. In the current meta, where few characters offer consistent multi-hit output, her potential is still partially unrealized. However, for forward-thinking players who build around characters like Jinbei, Wuxian Pipa offers a glimpse of powerful synergy yet to fully blossom.
