Compared to the Pyro Sub-DPS build, this one is more suited for Xiangling if she needs more Energy Recharge to reliably have her Elemental Burst ready when it goes off cooldown. It's best for low Energy Particle teams like Ganyu Reverse Melt or a solo Pyro team.
Main DPS | |
---|---|
1st | Elemental Burst |
2nd | Elemental Skill |
3rd | Normal Attack |
Xiangling's primary role as a Sub-DPS is to deal damage with her Elemental Burst, so it needs to be prioritized first with her Elemental Skill at 2nd. Her Normal Attack is left for last unless you need her to act as a Main DPS.

Xiangling's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Crispy Outside, Tender Inside Enemies hit by Guoba's attacks have their Pyro RES reduced by 15% for 6s. |
C2 |
Oil Meets Fire The last attack in a Normal Attack sequence applies the Implode status onto the enemy for 2s. An explosion will occur once this duration ends, dealing 75% of Xiangling's ATK as AoE Pyro DMG. |
C3 |
Deepfry Increases the Level of Pyronado by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Slowbake Pyronado's duration is increased by 40%. |
C5 |
Guoba Mad Increases the Level of Guoba Attack by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
Condensed Pyronado For the duration of Pyronado, all party members receive a 15% Pyro DMG Bonus. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C1 | ★★☆ | • Pyro Resistance reduction on enemies substantially increases her DMG and any other Pyro character. |
C4 | ★★★ | • Pyronado lasting longer simply equals to more Pyro based reactions and more damage. |
Pyronado is the tool that makes Xiangling an overall amazing Sub-DPS character. Pyronado having amazing consistency in applying Pyro on enemies is what makes Elemental Reaction team comps very strong, so extending its duration is a huge boost to party DMG.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Culinary Skills: When we're out on the open ocean, the one thing we do all miss is Xiangling's cooking. When spirits are low, just thinking of her fried jueyun chili, bursting with flavor... It gives everyone just that little extra kick.
Food Tasting: Xiangling huh? She sometimes uses some... interesting ingredients in her dishes to bring about some, ah... intriguing flavors. Though... there's no way she can improve without having someone to taste-test - a role that I am more than happy to fill. . |
![]() |
Xiangling's cooking is universally praised, but I personally don't touch any of her spicy dishes. Why? Oh, you know — just, uh... personal preference, that's all. I mean, come on, Mushroom Slime Stew... Does that sound appetizing to you? |
![]() |
Xiangling once gave me a "so-awful-it-goes-with-nothing" food combination she came up with, saying how it tasted absolutely terrible, blah blah blah... It didn't work, no use at all. All my little cat ears heard that night was "One more cup of that good stuff!" 'sigh'< |
![]() |
Xiangling is a celebrity! Um, but... I try to avoid her restaurant. Just... because. No reason. ...Okay, fine. It's not a big secret anyway. It's because you can smell her cooking all the way from the other end of the street. And once you get a whiff, I mean, that's it. You're gone. Next thing you know, you're ordering your second, maybe third round... You just can't control it. Even though I only eat the vegetarian dishes, I don't know what it is. But that is not a road I want to go down again... Not after... |
![]() |
Xiangling's a riot! Only a little ''boo'' and she jumps, she's so easy to scare! Being in the industry that I am, I just love these kinds of people the most. Gotta keep it in check, though, in case Guoba ends up toasting me instead. |
![]() |
Yeah, the up-and-coming chef from Wanmin Restaurant... I get that she's gifted and everything, I just think her cooking can be a bit hit-or-miss. I was all ready to hire her for a small banquet once, and give her full control over the menu... but the amount of lizard and slime in her sample dishes quickly turned me off that idea! |
![]() |
That girl from Wanmin Restaurant... Her suspicion towards me is always written all over her face... Hehe, I wonder what face she would make if only she knew how much I helped finance that restaurant... |
![]() |
When you first spot Xiangling out and about, the first thing you should do is check the look on her face. Especially when she's just coming back from collecting new ingredients — the more excited she looks, the more dangerous it is to approach. Because if she sees you, she'll force you to taste-test her latest concoction... I usually get Chongyun to handle these situations, hehe... |
![]() |
I have dinner at the Wanmin Restaurant often. If Xiangling's got some time one her hands, we'll chat till it's real late. Eh? You wanna know what I order? See... I actually eat everything she makes. It's never the same thing, and the flavor's different each time, too. Ooh, she's the rock star of the culinary world, he is! |
![]() |
Ah, Xiangling, the lovely little chef. Her ingredients are always top quality, easily as good as Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Kiosk. Sometimes I go to her for dried Jueyun Chilis... She doesn't seem to understand why I eat them in the way that I do, and I don't feel like trying to explain it to her, either. It's just a family tradition. |
