How to Use Xiangling

Versatile and Fast Normal Attack

Xiangling has one of the fastest Normal Attacks in the game, which allows you to pull off different combos and attack variations. Due to this, Xiangling has high mobility and is great at evading. In Constellation Level 2, the final hit of her Normal Attack will apply Pyro DMG.

Use Guoba for Combat and Exploration

Xiangling's Elemental Skill summons Guoba, a small bear that spits fire. Melt and Vaporize are very strong reactions that can heal high amounts of damage. With this in mind, you should switch into Hydro or Cryo characters after summoning Guoba.

Chili Pepper Increases Damage

Once Xiangling reaches Ascension 4, Gouba will leave a Chili Pepper after disappearing. Picking up the Chili Pepper will increase the character's attack damage by 10%! Though small, this is nevertheless an excellent addition to Xiangling's toolkit as a sub DPS.

Elemental Burst is very effective against mobs

Xiangling's Elemental Burst, the Pyronado, launches a fire ring that spins around her for a number of seconds. This is very effective against enemy mobs, and a great way to set up quick Elemental Reactions like Melt, Vaporize, and Overload.

Passive lets you cook more ATK-boosting food

Attack food is best made by Xiangling. When she cooks ATK boosting food, she has as 12% chance of cooking two of the same dish.
