C6 |
Rockin' in a Flaming World Decreases the Stamina Consumption of Xinyan's Charged Attacks by 30%. Additionally, Xinyan's Charged Attacks gain an ATK Bonus equal to 50% of her DEF. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |

C4 | ★★☆ | • Sweeping Fervor's swing DMG decreases opponent's Physical RES by 15% for 12s |
Having Xinyan's C2 makes her initial Burst cast to CRIT every time it's casted. If you want her to support the party, C2 also immediately creates her Level 3 shield. C4 also reduces Physical RES, which is great for herself and Physical team comps!

Xinyan's Elemental Skill attacks nearby enemies with Pyro DMG, and forms a shield. The amount of DMG absorption that the shield can handle is based on her DEF stat, along with the number of enemies hit by the attack.
Hitting 3 enemies with the attack will conjure flames on her shield, dealing AoE Pyro DMG to nearby enemies for a certain period of time.
Xinyan's Elemental Burst is a brief Pyro damage over time blast, with an initial Physical DMG burst that launches enemies. This Pyro Blast will last for a brief amount of time, and is also great for taking down Cryo shields.
With C2, this initial Physical Damage will always crit and form the best shield level.

She's got a great personality, that one! The guys in the crew love that rock and roll of hers. Me? We have common ground, just... not when it comes to taste in music. |
![]() |
I avoid Xinyan's performances like the plague. That heated atmosphere... Even if you don't intend to get involved, it still... Let's just say that it gets me all hot and bothered. |
![]() |
You know what, I think her music rocks. Too noisy by traditional standards, for sure, but I don't care. Good music is good music. And good music should reach the widest possible audience. |

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! |
![]() |
Where does Xinyan perform? Anywhere from Chihu Rock to Yujing Terrace — no spot is untouched by her disruptive presence... A quiet day when I can curl up with a good book is a rare treasure indeed. |
![]() |
The elders of the troupe are always harping on about rock 'n' roll being a bad influence. Needless to say, they never approve of me going to see Xinyan's shows. "It's for your own good," they say. Hmph, all it's really about is their inability to accept anything new. Whatever, those old fogies can't tell me what to do. I'm going to keep rocking out at Xinyan's gigs, every week, and that's that. |

About Baizhu Dr. Baizhu's prescriptions are the tops at preserving my voice. I did an impromptu performance for him as thanks, but... the snake he keeps around his neck fainted away. Haha, now it ducks up Dr. Baizhu's sleeve every time I'm around. I only discovered afterwards that snakes are very sensitive to vibrations. |
![]() |
About Beidou Her? She speaks her mind and has a big heart, and we get on great. The Crux's adventures are real epic. They've given me tons of inspiration in the past! I even wrote them a song. Nowadays, I just need to sing the first line, and most all sailors will join in. It's fast becoming a new sea shanty, it is. |
![]() |
About Chongyun He's one interesting guy. He looks introverted enough, but there was this one time when he came to one of my performances. A friend brought him or something, and he had some words for me, but I couldn't hear 'em over the music. Before I knew it, he was right up there on the stage with me, singing and rockin' his heart out. Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover! |
![]() |
About Hu Tao I've no clue what she's thinking going around looking all happy-clappy like that when she's the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Always greets me cheerily too, saying "I like people who play with fire, they're good for business" or somethin' like that... She's a bit bizarre, I tell you. |
![]() |
About Ningguang Y'know, the Millelith used to get in my way all the time. Can't set up a stage here, can't perform there. Real bother, it was... Ahem. But after I wrote to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I heard that the Tianquan amended one of Liyue's... Uh, some rule or something. She designated some spots for performances to take place, so long as you apply. 'sigh' It's still a load of trouble if you ask me, but it's better than being harangued by those Millelith every time, so... |
![]() |
About Xiangling 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! |
![]() |
About Yun Jin Tell you a secret ー but you gotta keep it that way, you hear? She’s fond of rock ‘n’ roll. Comes to watch me at least three times a week no matter how packed her schedule is. You’d think that the head of Heyu Tea House’s troupe would be into finer arts and all, eh? But I guess it gets suffocating after a while. Haha. |
![]() |
About Zhongli There was this one fellow who invited me to perform at his place, back when there weren't many who would give my music the time of day. I was touched, let me tell you what. Like, hey, someone gets it! I agreed right away... But when I got there, I found out that he was the consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. What a weird guy. I mean, how was that appropriate? |
