Xiao's Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Elemental Burst allows him to take advantage of his high multipliers on his Plunging Attacks. • Great AoE coverage, often being one of the best picks against a large wave of enemies. • Elemental Skill and passive talent makes it easier to explore mountainous regions like Liyue.
Weaknesses
• Reliant on his Elemental Burst to be used every rotation, but he has a relatively high energy cost. While under his Elemental Burst, it also disables the energy particle generation on his Skill. He will need more Energy Recharge than usual unless you have triple Anemo team comps or an abundance of Energy Recharge weapons on your support. • His fragile playstyle may be a turn-off for some players who wants a safer pick, as he has no way to sustain himself and is susceptible to interruptions. • Plunges can push back lighter enemies, which may spread enemies farther away from your position.

Xiao Best Builds

Xiao Main DPS Builds

Plunge DPS

Best Weapon	Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
Replacement Weapons	1. Staff of Homa 2. Fractured Halo 3. Calamity Queller 4. Deathmatch 5. Lithic Spear 6. Blackcliff Pole
Best Artifacts	Long Night's Oath x4 Vermillion Hereafter x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or Energy Recharge
	Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus%
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%
Sample Teams	Hyper: Double Anemo:

With the introduction of Long Night's Oath, Xiao has outgrown Vermillion Hereafter and now has Long Night's Oath as his Best-in-Slot. Vemillion Hereafter is still a fine and serviceable alternative, however.

As with any ATK-based DPS, build him to optimize for Energy Recharge first to get his Burst off-cooldown, then optimize and prioritize CRIT Stats to achieve a healthy 1:2 ratio.

Marechaussee Hunter DPS

Best Weapon	Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
Replacement Weapons	1. Staff of Homa 2. Calamity Queller 3. Deathmatch 4. Lithic Spear 5. Blackcliff Pole
Best Artifacts	Marechaussee Hunter x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or Energy Recharge
	Goblet: Anemo DMG Bonus%
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%
Sample Teams	Hyper: Double Anemo:

If you are not utilizing Xiao's best artifact sets, but have access to a support like Furina, then using 4-pc. Marechaussee Hunter can allow you to achieve similar DPS by substantially lowering his CRIT Rate requirements.

If you already have amazing substats on these artifacts and plan to have Furina in his party, you may opt on skipping farming for Long Night's Oath unless you want to min-max his damage output.

Xiao's Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Normal Attack	Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill

As Xiao's normal and special Plunging Attacks scale from his Normal Attack and Elemental Burst talent, these should be your first primary priorities when levelling up Xiao. As a Main DPS, his Elemental Skill should be levelled up as well as it's part of his overall damage.

Xiao Best Artifacts

Xiao Artifacts Rankings

	Artifact	Artifact Bonuses
1st	Long Night's Oath	2-PC: Plunging Attack DMG increased by 25%. 4-PC: After the equipping character's Plunging Attack/Charged Attack/Elemental Skill hits an opponent, they will gain 1/2/2 stack(s) of "Radiance Everlasting." Plunging Attacks, Charged Attacks, or Elemental Skills can each trigger this effect once every 1s. Radiance Everlasting: Plunging Attacks deal 15% increased DMG for 6s. Max 5 stacks. Each stack's duration is counted independently.
2nd	Vermillion Hereafter	2-PC: ATK +18%. 4-PC: After using an Elemental Burst, this character will gain the Nascent Light effect, increasing their ATK by 8% for 16s. When the character's HP decreases, their ATK will further increase by 10%. This further increase can occur this way a maximum of 4 times. This effect can be triggered once every 0.8s. Nascent Light will be dispelled when the character leaves the field. If an Elemental Burst is used again during the duration of Nascent Light, the original Nascent Light will be dispelled.
3rd	Marechaussee Hunter	2-PC: Normal and Charged Attack DMG +15% 4-PC: When current HP increases or decreases, CRIT Rate will be increased by 12% for 5s. Max 3 stacks.

Xiao Best Team Comp

Anemo Plunge DPS

Xiao's main and only role is that of an Anemo Plunge DPS, using pure Anemo damage to annihilate all opponents with his Plunging attacks.

With that in mind, any team that Xiao is part of automatically makes him the main DPS, and that the team itself must synergize and either provide Xiao with more damage or survivability options.

Plunging Team with Faruzan and Xianyun

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Xiao	Furina	Faruzan	Xianyun

Faruzan is a welcome addition to Xiao's party thanks to her Anemo DMG buffs. If Faruzan is below C6, you may need another Anemo character like Jean or Sucrose to fill up Xiao's energy easily.

Furina and Xianyun can further boost Xiao's damage for plunging playstyles, as well as provide off-field damage, but if you don't have Xianyun or Furina, you may use Zhongli, Jean, or Bennett as well.

Double Anemo & Double Geo Team

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Xiao	Albedo	Jean	Zhongli

This team comp synergizes well with keeping Xiao safe as he deals damage with his Elemental Burst. Jean will provide particle generation for Xiao's Elemental burst and can also increase his DPS if she has her 4th Constellation unlocked.

Xiao Free-to-Play Team Comp

Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support	Support
Xiao	Faruzan	Sucrose	Bennett

As his best teams are rather expensive, you can use 4-star characters like Bennett and Sucrose as alternatives. Sucrose's Elemental Mastery buffs won't really work for Xiao, but she does provide a lot of energy especially with a Favonius Codex and constellations.

Xiao Best Constellations

Alatus Nemeseos

Constellation and Effects

	Xiao's Constellations
C1	Dissolution Eon: Destroyer of Worlds Increases Lemniscatic Wind Cycling's charges by 1.
C2	Annihilation Eon: Blossom of Kaleidos When in the party and not on the field, Xiao's Energy Recharge is increased by 25%
C3	Conqueror of Evil: Wrath Deity Increases the Level of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Transcension: Extinction of Suffering When Xiao's HP falls below 50%, he gains a 100% DEF Bonus.
C5	Evolution Eon: Origin of Ignorance Increases the Level of Bane of All Evil by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Conqueror of Evil: Guardian Yaksha While under the effects of Bane of All Evil, hitting at least 2 opponents with Xiao's Plunging Attack will immediately grant him 1 charge of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, and for the next 1s, he may use Lemniscatic Wind Cycling while ignoring its CD.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• Increases Elemental Skill's charges by 1. • Lower ER requirement for Xiao to use his Elemental Burst.
C6	★★★	• Hitting at least 2 opponents with Xiao's Plunging Attack while under the effects of his Elemental Burst immediately grants him 1 charge of his Elemental Skill, and for the next 1s, he can spam his Elemental Skill.

C1 Grants More Energy

Xiao's C1 primarily gives you an additional charge on your Elemental Skill, but it also helps with your Energy regeneration as Xiao's burst cost is high. Make sure to use Xiao's Skill outside of Burst because it won't generate any energy otherwise!

C6 Changes Xiao Playstyle

Xiao's playstyle will be upgraded into a much stronger Plunge Attack + Elemental Skill combo.

Close Gaps, Extend Combos and Air Dash

Elemental Skill: Lemniscatic Wind Cycling

Xiao's Elemental Skill, Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, is his high mobility dash that deals Anemo damage in a straight line up to 2 times. This can also be used in midair as an air dash and can set up a Plunge Attack.

Use this skill to extend Normal Attack combos, gap close on distant enemies, dash through attacks to dodge, or as an air dash outside of combat.

Use a Plunge Combo

Xiao Elemental Skill + Plunge Combo

By jumping and using his Elemental Skill, then immediately tapping the attack button, you can plunge towards your enemy. Use this combo to close the distance!

Useful in Exploration

Genshin - Xiao during Gliding Exploration

Elemental Skill while Gliding

Since Lemniscatic Wind Cycling can be used in midair, this makes it useful in exploration. While gliding, you can cover a lot of distance towards your destination with this!

Can Slightly Save Stamina

Stamina Restore When Using Elemental Skill

You can also use his skill to restore a small amount of stamina while climbing, making it even handier during exploration.

Elemental Burst

Bane of All Evil
Xiao dons the Yaksha Mask that set gods and demons trembling millennia ago. Yaksha's Mask: • Greatly increases Xiao's jumping ability. • Increases Xiao's attack AoE and DMG. • Xiao's attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion. In this state, Xiao will continuously lose HP. The effects of this skill end when Xiao leaves the field.

Attribute	Effect (Lvl 1)
Normal ATK/Charge ATK/Plunge ATK DMG Bonus	58.5%
Life Drain	3.0% Current HP Per Second
Duration	15s
CD	18s
Energy Cost	70

Elemental Burst Boosts Damage and Mobility

Xiao's Elemental Burst, Bane of All Evil, greatly boosts his Attack damage, imbues his Normal Attacks with Anemo, and drastically increases his jump height about four times allowing for easily repeatable Plunge Attacks at the cost of HP over time.

Leveling up Burst Talent Reduces HP Drain

Genshin - Xiao Burst Level 1 and 9 Comparison

Elemental Burst at Level 9 and Level 1 Comparison

Leveling up Xiao's Elemental Burst talent reduces the HP Drain!

Animation Cancel for Plunge Spam

Genshin - Xiao Plunge Attack

Passive Talent 1

Conqueror of Evil: Tamer of Demons
While under the effects of Bane of All Evil, all DMG increases by a further 5% for every 3s the ability persists. The maximum DMG Bonus is 25%.

Passive Talent 2

Dissolution Eon: Heaven Fall
Using Lemniscatic Wind Cycling increases the DMG of subsequent uses of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling by 15%. This effect lasts for 7s, and has a maximum of 3 stacks. Gaining a new stack refreshes the effect's duration.

Passive Talent 3

Transcension: Gravity Defier
Decreases climbing Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Passive Talent Reduces Stamina

Transcension: Gravity Defier

Xiao's Passive Talent, the Transcension: Gravity Defier, decreases the Stamina consumption of the entire party when climbing. This makes climbing mountains less daunting!

Thoughts About Xiao

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Baizhu	Baizhu: Only the most magnanimous soul could labor to preserve life by slaying evil spirits. I was once fortunate enough to see the Conqueror of Demons with my own eyes. We even brought him back to the pharmacy to take care of him for a day. Unfortunately, I did not know his true identity at the time, and didn't even have a chance to speak with him before he left on his own. Changsheng: But you've seen him since then, haven't you? There's no reason to be upset. Baizhu: Yes, you're right.
Beidou	One year on the eve of the Lantern Rite, we ran into a storm as we were returning to port. Try as we did, we only made it back to Liyue Harbor in the dead of night, long after the lanterns had all been released. As I looked towards Guyun Stone Forest, I saw an adeptus, floating in the air, in the form of what appeared to be a young boy. I guess it is like the legends say ー there really must be those that watch over Liyue, even if they cannot be seen.
Chongyun	The Conqueror of Demons himself has defended Liyue side-by-side with we exorcists for generations, day after day, night after night. I have the utmost respect for Xiao. It’s just… Why must he be so disparaging towards us? He says our repertoire is lacking and our power is trivial. I’m sorry, but I just can’t accept that.
Ganyu	He seems like a bit of an outsider, socially. Probably just his personality... I can understand that, to be honest, but I'm not really about to try and get close to him. I mean... all the people he's ever agreed to team up with are no longer with us...
Hu Tao	What would I know of the adepti? Ai-yai-yai, that kind of stuff is top-secret! Don't come asking me about it!
Keqing	I feel like now that we live in the age of mankind's rule, it's time for the legendary boy - adeptus to be released from duty. We no longer need a defender of that kind, because we are capable of working through the challenges we face on our own strength.
Qiqi	Name: Sounds like a historical artifact to me. Memory: Remind me, have I met him before?
Shenhe	My first impression of him was that he's not one to smile. After meeting him again more recently, however, he's still as reserved as ever, but... he seems a lot more relaxed now. Maybe he... met someone special.
Xianyun	The Conqueror of Demons is even more withdrawn than oneself, he has been sighted a mere handful of times at social gatherings over the centuries... One was interested to learn that you are on rather good terms with him, what sort of conversations do the two of you tend to have? Oh, and do let me know when you next plan to see him. Perhaps one could make some tofu pudding for you to pass on to him.
Yelan	The elders in my clan once said that we must always show the utmost respect to the Vigilant Yaksha. Apparently, the only time that our ancestor would gain some temporary relief from his insanity was when passing by the Wangshu Inn. It must have been the comforting effect of his presence that wards off evil spirits. That said, if I ever have the honor of fighting side by side with the Conqueror of Demons, I will focus only on the mission. I cannot let myself be distracted by concerns about his status.
Zhongli	You speak of the young adeptus of Guili Plains… 'sigh' Still fulfilling his duty to this very day. Please give these painkillers to him on my behalf. Oh, yes ー be sure not to let Paimon eat them. Nothing of this world can withstand the power of this medicine.

Xiao's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Baizhu	About Baizhu You want... Baizhu to make a medicine to take away my pain? I understand your intentions, but mortal medicine has no effect on adepti.
Beidou	About Beidou Beidou? I have nothing to do with her. Though there is such a thing as the leviathan. As a mere human, she has proven her power in defeating Haishan.
Ganyu	About Ganyu Ganyu is neither mortal nor illuminated beast. Wandering, both the mortal and adepti realms with duty as her sole guide, it was inevitable that she would become perplexed... What? Me? You believe a yaksha who knows nothing more than how to massacre countless souls and emerge unscathed is a suitable mentor for such an individual? ...Your mind occupies a very different world from that which your body inhabits.
Hu Tao	About Hu Tao Hu Tao? Her liveliness is irritating. Fortunately, she is also humorous, so you need not worry about her growing into a boring human.
Shenhe	About Shenhe It seems Shenhe places a great deal of trust in you. Well, how could she not. There are few people in the world as kind and good-natured as you.
Venti	About Venti Venti? So that's the name he goes by. His tunes are... forget it.
Yelan	About Yelan I've heard that she once investigated The Chasm, following the trail of the Millelith. If she can investigate mysteries like that on her own, she must be someone of rare skill.
Zhongli	About Zhongli Can I ask... Zhongli — what does he do with his days? Huh? Birds, antiques, flowers... Hmm... What deeper meaning do they hold?
