Tier Rating

Despite Xiangling being one of the starter characters that came out with Genshin Impact, it can be argued that only a few Pyro units have been able to go toe to toe with her when it comes to the many weapon options she has, the simplicity and ease of use, and the near-unbeatable amounts of Pyro application and damage that she can output without needing to be on-field for more than 3 seconds. This not only makes her a robust and simple unit in a game with growing mechanics, but makes her efficient and effective as Xiangling only needs to be invested into once and can be slotted into any and every team afterwards.

When comparing Xiangling to other Pyro DPS units, one advantage that Xiangling has over the others is that she does not have to be On-Field to perform, meaning her supportive capability skyrockets, and her damage ceilings far surpass the other Pyro Sub-DPS units by virtue of her Pyronado's long duration. In high-level content, this makes her a highly sought after Pyro teammate, and makes her viable in nearly every situation where the enemy is not resistant or immune to Pyro.

Best Builds for Xiangling

Sub-DPS Builds for Xiangling

When building Xiangling as a Sub-DPS, her preferred stats can be incredibly situational, with ER and EM requirements varying depending on who she is paired with.

As a rule of thumb, focus on getting her ER stats to around 200%, then invest into CRIT and ATK, potentially picking up any EM substats along the way.

Pyro Sub DPS

Best Weapon	Staff of the Scarlet Sands
Replacement Weapons	1. Staff of Homa 2. Engulfing Lightning 3. The Catch
Best Artifacts	Emblem of Severed Fate x4
Artifact Main Stats	Sands: ATK%, Elemental Mastery, or Energy Recharge
	Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
Artifact Sub Stats	Energy Recharge, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, ATK%, Elemental Mastery
Sample Teams	Rainbow: Vaporize:

This Sub-DPS build for Xiangling focuses on increasing the DMG she provides with her Elemental Burst. Elemental Mastery Main Stats should only be considered if Xiangling will be triggering Elemental Reactions. Generally, ATK% for the Sands piece will be the better choice.

You may also consider switching out for an Energy Recharge Sands for more consistency at the cost of her damage.

Xiangling's Talent Priority

1st	2nd	3rd
Elemental Burst	Elemental Skill	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.

Best Artifacts for Xiangling

Build For Xiangling's Energy Recharge

When it comes to Artifact Sets for Xiangling, 4-pc. Emblem of Severed Fate stands out as the premier choice due to how much Energy Recharge you build and how much it can contribute to her damage.

If that is currently off the table, then Crimson Witch of Flames and Noblesse Oblige works as decent alternatives, with the former buffing her Pyro DMG and the latter buffing her Burst DMG, both of which are welcome benefits.

Xiangling Artifact Rankings

Pyro Sub-DPS

Rating	Set	Bonus
Best	Emblem of Severed Fate	• Energy Recharge +20%. • Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way.
Second Best	Crimson Witch of Flames	• Pyro DMG Bonus +15%. • Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s. Max 3 stacks.
Third Best	Noblesse Oblige	• Elemental Burst DMG +20%. • Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack.

Alternative Artifact Set

Set	Bonus
The Exile	• Energy Recharge +20% • Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for all party members (excluding the wearer) every 2s for 6s. This effect cannot stack.

Pick ER or CRIT Weapons for Xiangling

Right off the bat, Xiangling can make use of any polearm in the game as she can utilize nearly any stat aside from HP and DEF. However, there is a clear advantage in picking Energy Recharge weapons and CRIT weapons for her.

Engulfing Lightning and The Catch are able to provide DMG benefits to her while lowering her Energy Recharge requirements, whereas Staff of the Scarlet Sands and Staff of Homa can increase her DMG and even out her CRIT stats.

Xiangling Weapon Rankings

	Weapon	Weapon Information
1st	Engulfing Lightning	Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: Energy Recharge 55.1% Skill Effect: ATK increased by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% ATK. Gain 30% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst.
2nd	Staff of the Scarlet Sands	Base ATK: 542 Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate 44.1% Skill Effect: The equipping character gains 52% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, the Dream of the Scarlet Sands effect will be gained for 10s: The equipping character will gain 28% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. Max 3 stacks.
3rd	Staff of Homa	Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 66.2% Skill Effect: HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder’s Max HP. When the wielder's HP is less than 50%, this ATK Bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.

Xiangling Best Team Comps

Xiangling is a Universal Unit

As opposed to the units that need to be placed in specific team comps to really shine, Xiangling remains a flexible pick in any team comp, being most common in Vaporize teams with Bennett.

Xiangling's job in most teams is to either be the enabler for their DPS units' elemental reactions by applying Pyro to the enemy, or being the trigger for elemental reactions with her Elemental Burst's damage scaling.

Xiangling Team Comps

Xiangling Bennett-Duo Teams

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Xiangling	Arlecchino	Kazuha	Bennett
Xiangling	Tartaglia	Kazuha	Bennett
Xiangling	Navia	Yelan	Bennett

Xiangling is often paired with Bennett due to his ability to enhance nearly all aspects of her kit, allowing her the chance to forego stats such as ATK and Energy Recharge in exchange for more CRIT and Elemental Mastery.

These two are then slotted into teams together, with Vaporize teams being the more common choice due to Xiangling's Off-Field Pyro Application in tandem with the Hydro DPS raw damage.

Xiangling Overvape Team

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Xiangling	Raiden	Xingqiu	Bennett
Xiangling	Xingqiu	Fischl	Sucrose

Xiangling can also be placed in Overvape teams together, most often paired with an On-Field DPS like Raiden Shogun, or with two other Sub-DPS units like Xingqiu and Fischl for a quickswap team.

These teams excel at triggering multiple elemental reactions due to the strong Off-Field presence of the units involved, and can even be paired with an Anemo Driver to enhance the damage.

Xiangling Melt Team

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Xiangling	Wriothesley	Furina	Bennett
Xiangling	Wriothesley	Rosaria	Sucrose

Xiangling's Off-Field Pyro Application makes her a prime candidate for any form of a Melt team, serving as either the trigger for Reverse Melt by applying Pyro first, or being the Main Melt unit.

Xiangling Burning Team

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Xiangling	Arlecchino	Emilie	Bennett
Xiangling	Alhaitham	Nahida	Thoma

With the addition of Dendro units like Nahida and Emilie, Xiangling can be used as a Burning team trigger in addition to already having good damage.

Being able to apply Burning results in the enemy having less downtime between damage as they will always be taking damage from the Burn while also taking damage from Xiangling's abilities.

Xiangling Best Constellations

Trulla

Constellation and Effects

	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.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	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.

C4 Is for a better all around Sub-DPS

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.

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Dough-Fu
Performs up to five consecutive spear strikes. Charge Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to enemies along the way. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Versatile and Fast Normal Attack

Xiangling Auto Attacks

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.

Elemental Skill

Guoba Attack
Summons Guoba the Panda. Guoba continuously breathes fire at the enemy, dealing AoE Pyro DMG. Flavor Text: Guoba loves to eat spicy food. Problem is, his stomach can't handle something this spicy.

Attribute	Effect (Lvl 1)
Flame DMG	111%
CD	12.0s

Use Guoba for Combat and Exploration

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

Chili Pepper Increases Damage

Chili Pepper Gouba
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

Pyronado
Displaying her mastery over both fire and polearms, Xiangling sends a Pyronado whirling around her. The Pyronado will move with your character for so long as the ability persists, dealing Pyro DMG to all enemies in its path. Flavor Text: There will never be enough heat. Never.

Attribute	Effect (Lvl 1)
1-Hit Swing DMG	72.0%
2-Hit Swing DMG	88.0%
3-Hit Swing DMG	110%
Pyronado DMG	112%

CD	20.0s
Energy Cost	80

Elemental Burst is very effective against mobs

Xiangling Ulti

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 Talent 1

Crossfire
Increases the flame range of Guoba by 20%.

Passive Talent 2

Beware, It's Super Hot!
When Guoba Attack's effect ends, Guoba leaves a chili pepper on the spot where it disappeared. Picking up a chili pepper increases ATK by 10% for 10s.

Passive Talent 3

Chef de Cuisine
When Xiangling cooks an ATK-boosting dish perfectly, she has a 12% chance to receive double the product.

Passive lets you cook more ATK-boosting food

Xiangling Passive

Thoughts About Xiangling

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Beidou	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. .
Chongyun	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?
Diona	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'<
Escoffier	There is a saying in Liyue: "Beyond every mountain lies a higher mountain." But, when it comes to Xiangling and me, it feels more like... I was holed up in a cave and she dragged me into a new world. She uses techniques I've never heard of and chooses ingredients I could never anticipate. Her dishes seem to redefine what I thought was possible - you can't even analyze them within the framework of classical Fontainian cooking. Meeting her has convinced me that staying cooped up in my kitchen isn't the answer - I need to go out and explore what other nations have to offer!
Gaming	Pretty much everything Chef Xiangling cooks is a winner, but my favorite has to be her Black-Back Perch Stew. I always try to rinse off the molten lava sauce before each bite, but I'm still like "ss, ah, ss, ah" trying to cool my mouth down, hahaha! Worth every bite though, and they do generous portions - you can see why it's Wanmin's signature dish. I'll be back for my next fix soon!
Ganyu	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...
Hu Tao	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.
Keqing	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!
Lan Yan	Everyone says first impressions are important, and the first time I ate at Wanmin Restaurant, I had so much regret... regret that it took me so long to visit Liyue Harbor! I could have met Xiangling way sooner... In any case, as soon as she heard me talk about all the rare ingredients in the mountains of my hometown, she started planning a trip to Chenyu Vale! I'll make sure she doesn't go home empty-handed!
Ningguang	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...
Xianyun	One happened to mention the Supreme Cuisine Machine in conversation with Xiangling once, but one was rather taken aback when she responded by saying that a dish is inauthentic unless it is prepared by hand... Hmph, are one's devices not also the work of one's hands? Inauthentic indeed... A contest is in order! ...Although, her mastery of Liyue cuisine is indeed impressive... Yes — the contest shall have to wait until one has made a few improvements to the device...
Xingqiu	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...
Xinyan	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!
Yaoyao	Xiangling hasn't been, um... looking for strange ingredients lately, has she? She gave me a real fright last time. She said she was about to try some raw octopus from the Sea of Clouds. One of these days, she'll give herself an upset stomach — then what's she gonna do? 'Cause she definitely doesn't like taking Dr. Baizhu's medicine... Anyway, I got Master to try and talk some sense into her, too. Who knows what dangerous thing she'll be trying to eat next... sigh
Yelan	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.

Xiangling's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Baizhu	About Baizhu I can smell Mist Flowers! It must be Dr. Baizhu! What is he doing here? Uh— Are you okay? Do you feel faint? Is your stomach sore? Or is it a sore throat? I've got it, you're fatigued from all that adventurin! No?... You're fine? Phew! Otherwise, he would have made you drink some traditional herbal medicine — it's so bitter!
Beidou	About Beidou Oh, Beidou is the greatest! Every time I go out sailing with her, she always manages to fish up lots of fresh ingredients! Octopus tentacles go great in soup, and seaweed fries up great with some chilies. Not just Beidou, but everyone on board The Crux loves my cooking.
Chongyun	About Chongyun Chongyun? I always see him on his way to eat at Wanmin Restaurant with Xingqiu... Ah... or perhaps I should say I see him being dragged there by Xingqiu? Chongyun doesn't eat hot food. Every time the hot food arrives, Xingqiu politely apologizes and proceeds to try every dish. I just wanna dig in with him! The look on Chongyun's face is priceless. They're quite interesting, those two.
Diona	About Diona Diona, from Springvale! Ah, I heard she mixes a great drink, so I came specifically to see her! I thought perhaps I could use her secrets in my cooking, and bring out more flavors. But the tips she gave — like soaking lizard tails in beer, or putting bits of smoked fish in dandelion wine — all came out really awful. 'sigh' Guess it's up to me to work it out myself, then.
Gaming	About Gaming Oh boy, once I know Gaming is coming, I make sure to prepare a huge pot of tea in advance. You know, so he can wash some of the spicy food down. I've offered to tone down the spice a bit for him, but he absolutely insists that he prefers the authentic flavor... And he's not even just saying that to be polite. Believe me, I know a true foodie when I see one! Anyway, if that's what he prefers, then who am I to disappoint, hehe!
Ganyu	About Ganyu Ganyu? Oh... Oh yeah! I remember her — vegetarian, right? She doesn't come to the Wanmin Restaurant very often — but when she does, she sits alone in the corner and eats her meal in total silence. Poor girl, she seems kinda lonely... I always give her an extra-large portion because I feel sorry for her. Funniest thing is, she eats every last bite, every time! I wouldn't have guessed she had such an appetite just by looking at her.
Hu Tao	About Hu Tao Is Hu Tao picking on you too? Ugh, that prankster always waits till i least expect it, creeps up on me from behind and then... Boo! ...then laughs herself silly. Hmph. But I can handle it, and she does bring me fermented plum blossoms once in a while so I can make flower cakes... so I don't hold a grudge.
Lan Yan	About Lan Yan Guoba loves Lan Yan! They spent soooooo long shaking hands when they first met, it was like they'd known each other forever, haha. Lan Yan actually promised to take me foraging for wild mushrooms and insects... Hehe, once my new dish is ready, you've gotta come try it!
Ningguang	About Ningguang That was the Tianquan! Did you see? She just walked past. Come here... closer... Let me tell you, she knows everything that happens in Liyue, so... keep a low profile, don't attract her attention.
Xinyan	About Xinyan Xinyan always comes to the Wanmin Restaurant for a late-night snack! She gobbles up all the new dishes that the likes of Xingqiu and Chongyun don't go near... and nine out of ten times, she enjoys them too! She's great!
Yaoyao	About Yaoyao Hee-hee, I'm proud to call her a fellow chef! She hasn't swung by the Wanmin Restaurant in ages, though. Maybe our teacher is trying to protect her from me or something... Last time we hung out I was about to dig into some fresh raw octopus from the Sea of Clouds, but not only did she stop me from eating it, she sent our teacher to tell me off too! Hmm... I'm older, so I'd always seen myself as the senior chef out of the two of us, but sometimes, I'm really not so sure...
Yelan	About Yelan Yelan? Of course, I remember her! When I first met her I was certain she'd be the kind of gal who'd prefer lighter dishes... turned out that she can handle the most spice out of all my customers! Apparently, my dishes weren't spicy enough for her, because she started taking bites of raw Jueyun Chilies! Truly amazing.
Zhongli	About Zhongli I've come across a lot of fussy eaters, but Mr. Zhongli is very particular and has no problem getting straight to what he has to say. The first time I served him salt and pepper tofu, he took just one bite, and then proceeded to say: "It would be better to try sea salt extracted from the shallow seas of Guyun Stone Forest, because it would bring a fresh sense of depth to the tofu." I tried it and the taste was just so different! He's just amazing, don't you think!?
