Overview of Xiao’s Skills
Attack Type: Regular
When compared to the other Genshin Impact Polearm characters, Xiao’s regular and plunge attacks have the greatest multiplier, indicating that he has a lot of potential. Despite the fact that his charged strike does not provide the most damage, it has the added benefit of crowd control by flipping smaller adversaries aloft.
Ability to use the elements
Xiao has two charges of Elemental Skill at zero Constellation. He can move fast in mid-air because to this talent. As a result, when employing his plunge attack, players can relocate using it.
Xiao can also create a considerable number of Elemental Particles while his Elemental Burst isn’t active. The Skill, however, does not create Energy when utilised during his Burst.
Burst of Elemental Power
Xiao’s kit revolves around the Elemental Burst. It will infuse Anemo into his weapon, increasing his damage. It also allows Xiao to jump extremely high, allowing her to use plunge strikes with ease.
Xiao’s Favorite Artifact
The Anemo infusion during Xiao’s Elemental Burst was his major source of damage, therefore players shouldn’t construct the Yaksha on Physical. Instead, consider the following key statistic:
- Timepiece: Attack
- Goblet: Anemo DMG
- Circlet: Critical Rate or Critical Damage
Unfortunately, Xiao does not have many artefact sets to choose from.
2-Viridescent Venerer + 2-Gladiator’s Finale
- 2-Gladiator’s Finale: ATK +18%.
- 2-Viridescent Venerer: Anemo DMG Bonus +15%.
This build is ideal for his plunge attack gameplay because it increases his anemo infusion damage. Players can employ 2-Shimenawa’s Reminiscence instead of Gladiator’s Finale as an alternate. Both will increase your Attack by 18%.
4-The Finale of Gladiator
- 4-Gladiator’s Finale: If the wielder uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack DMG by 35%.
Players will be unable to use Xiao’s plunge attack with this artefact set, although it is still possible to play with his standard attack.
4-Viridescent Venerer
- 4-Viridescent Venerer: Increases Swirl DMG by 60%. Decreases opponent’s Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40% for 10s.
Swirl DMG increased by 60% with 4-Viridescent Venerer. For 10 seconds, reduces the opponent’s Elemental RES to the element infused in the Swirl by 40%.
This combination is highly specific to Xiao, necessitating the presence of characters like Xingqiu who can consistently inflict elemental damage throughout his burst. Plunge attack gameplay will be unavailable to players who use this outfit.
While his greatest artefact is 2-Gladiator’s Finale + 2-Viridescent Venerer, players may have difficulty getting the artefacts they require. As a result, the other two sets can used as a backup.
Players who unsure whether 4-Shimenawa’s Reminiscence a realistic choice should aware that this artefact set not advised. Although +50% plunge attack damage sounds fantastic, it will cost Xiao a lot of energy. The Adeptus can’t afford this because he relies heavily on his Elemental Burst.
Xiao’s Favorite Weapon
Jade Winged-Spear (Primary)
The 5-star Primordial Jade Winged-Spear is the greatest weapon for Xiao. This Polearm’s substat only provides a tiny Critical Rate bonus, but its primary stat has a huge base attack. Players won’t have to worry about not having enough Critical Rate because Xiao’s ascension bonus is Critical Rate.
Furthermore, the weapon’s passive will increase the weapon’s huge base attack. It grants +22.4 percent more attack and +12% bonus damage when fully stacked.
Vanquisher of the Vortex
If players don’t have Primordial Jade, the Vortex Vanquisher is a fantastic alternative for Xiao. Players will require a full-time shielder to get the most out of this weapon. So yet, only Zhongli and Thoma are capable of completing this task. Aside from that, players must work hard to gain Critical Rate and Damage from their artefacts due to the weapon’s passive provide attack percent.
Homa’s staff
The Staff of Homa, Hu Tao’s best-in-class Polearm, is also a fantastic choice for Xiao. It increases the Yaksha’s attack based on his HP and gives a large Critical Damage substat. This boost will increased if his health drops below 50%. While Xiao’s Elemental Burst is active, he will continue to lose HP.
Deathmatch
For Xiao, Deathmatch is the finest 4-star choice. Regrettably, the Genshin Impact Polearm can only obtained with the Battle Pass. As a result, non-spending gamers will be unable to obtain one.
Pole of Blackcliff
Travelers can also go to Blackcliff Pole as an option. The Shop is where you may purchase this weapon. Blackcliff Pole, like the Staff of Homa, has a substat that gives Critical Damage.
Skyward Spine
Although Skyward Spine is a 5-star weapon, it does not always outperform its 4-star competitors. Skyward Spine can aid Xiao with his energy problem. Aside from that, this Polearm not very well-recommended.
Starglitter prototype
If players are unable to get the remaining Polearms, the forgeable Genshin Impact weapon is the last choice. Xiao may also use Prototype Starglitter to replenish his Elemental Burst. Aside from that, this equipment should only used as a stopgap until gamers can find a more suitable substitute.
Xiao’s Best Teammates
Xiao’s energy regeneration is insufficient, so he’ll require a “battery,” a partner who can manufacture Elemental Particles for him. It recommended to utilise another Anemo character for this battery task. how the energy system works. For this role, players can employ Kazuha, Sucrose, Anemo MC, Jean, or Venti.
A healer or a shielder is the next buddy Xiao requires. During the course of his burst, Xiao will lose HP at a rapid rate, necessitating his protection. Kokomi, Barbara, Qiqi, Diona, Zhongli, Noelle, or Bennett are all options for players.
A sub-DPS or burst support would be the final teammate. For this role, players can employ Raiden Shogun, Mona, Xingqiu, Xiangling, Fischl, or Albedo.
