Xiao Talents

There are a few things that set Xiao apart from everyone else in the game and his mobility is the first thing that comes to mind. His movement skills allow him to dart around the battlefield and when he activates his elemental burst, his abilities are enhanced even further.

Whirlwind Thrust | Attack
Normal Perform up to 6 consecutive spear strikes.
Charge Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward thrust.
Plunge Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground from below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact. Xiao does not take DMG from performing Plunging Attacks.
Attributes Level 1 Level 10
1-Hit DMG 27.54% + 27.54% 49.14% + 49.14%
2-Hit DMG 56.94% 101.58%
3-Hit DMG 68.55% 122.3%
4-Hit DMG 37.66% + 37.66% 67.2% + 67.2%
5-Hit DMG 71.54% 127.64%
6-Hit DMG 95.83% 170.97%
Charged Attack DMG 121.09% 216.03%
Charged Attack Stamina Cost 25 25
Plunge DMG 81.83% 161.76%
Low/High Plunge DMG 163.63% / 204.39% 323.46% / 404.02%

His normal attack string is a fancy-looking set of attacks and the full combo is done with 6 button presses and results in 8 hits. His most damaging combo without considering his other abilities will be 2 normal attacks followed by a charge attack. His charged attack can easily handle groups of enemies since the swings cover a significant area around him. In fact, if he has a shield on him, he can pretty much spam his charged attack without any interruption and the damage multiplier on it is actually very strong.

You can get even more damage by canceling the charge attack into a dash although that will require a lot of stamina. But with the proper team to feed him energy, you will almost never use his normal attacks besides finishing a final enemy after his burst is over.

Lemniscatic Wind Cycling | Skill
Xiao lunges forward, dealing Anemo DMG to opponents in his path. It can be used in mid-air and starts with 2 charges
Attributes Level 1 Level 15
Skill DMG 252.8% 600.4%
Cooldown 10 Seconds 10 Seconds

Use Xiao’s elemental skill to lunge forward dealing Anemo damage to enemies in his path. You can easily use it for traversal and closing gaps between your jumps. But once you have some enemies around then there is no aiming involved and the dash he performs will choose one of the targets and automatically go through it and anyone else who gets in his way.

His 2nd passive talent provides additional damage for your next dash attack as long as you can do it within 7 seconds after getting the buff. Because you can stack it up to 3 times and if you can do this correctly, one of your elemental skill dashes will deal 45% increased damage.

Just keep in mind since he has two charges for his elemental skill so using one after another will give the 2nd dash with 15% damage but the timer will run out on the 3rd dash and you will reset the stack. It is best to wait at least 3 seconds before using up the 2nd charge in order to maintain the damage buff. Of course, optimal play aside, zipping twice in a row is a fantastic feeling and one that’s hard to shake off, especially with the amount of damage you can quickly produce without counting on the passive itself.

Bane of All Evil | Burst
Xiao dons the Yaksha Mask that set gods and demons trembling millennia ago. In this state, Xiao will continuously lose HP and the effects of this skill end when Xiao leaves the field
Yaksha’s Mask Greatly increases Xiao’s jumping ability, Increases his attack AoE and attack DMG, Converts attack DMG into Anemo DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion.
Attributes Level 1 Level 15
Normal, Charged, & Plunging Attack DMG Bonus 58.45% 117.95%
Life Drain 3% Current HP Per Second 2% Current HP Per Second
Duration 15 Seconds 15 Seconds
Cooldown 18 Seconds 18 Seconds
Energy Cost 70 70

When it comes to his elemental burst, you can jump higher, attacks are wider and the damage itself gets infused with Anemo element. Obviously, the most fun way to take advantage of this would be his plunge attacks. Although even without fully relying on them, the damage output just from normal attacks on a single target is significant enough. But when you’re up against a group of enemies then there’s nothing better than to plunge those pests away.

It’s also interesting that his damage increases every few seconds while under the effect of his burst and it reaches a climax on the very last seconds of his demon form where he attains up to a 25% extra DMG bonus. So keep this in mind if you ever get the idea to switch him out before the burst is over.

On the flip side, he also keeps losing health but thankfully it scales with the current HP he has so there is no flat damage and during most of the gameplay it never felt like something that you need to worry about.

So in essence, Xiao’s design is all about mobility and using it to dominate groups of enemies. His attacks are fast, hard-hitting, his stylish delivery of damage feels very rewarding, and a few key mechanics like cycling your dashes to maintain the active damage buff and staying through the whole duration of his burst are the small things to keep in mind before every single monster perishes in his way.

Xiao Passive Talents

Unlock 2 more passive talents for Xiao on his first and fourth ascension phase.

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

Xiao Constellations

New constellation’s passive abilities can be unlocked for Xiao each time you obtain a character’s specific item called Stella Fortuna and these upgrades can permanently enhance him in various ways.

Dissolution Eon: Destroyer of Worlds
Increases Lemniscatic Wind Cycling’s charges by 1.
Annihilation Eon: Blossom of Kaleidos
When in party but not on the field, Xiao’s Energy Recharge is increased by 25%.
Conqueror of Evil: Wrath Deity
Increases the Level of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Transcension: Extinction of Suffering
When Xiao’s HP falls below 50%, he gains a 100% DEF Bonus.
Evolution Eon: Origin of Ignorance
Increases the Level of Bane of All Evil by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
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.

On my Xiao, I use a combination set of Viridescent and Gladiator, but a 4-set Vermillion Hereafter should work nicely.

Do you think deathmatch is better for Xiao than blackcliff?

You already have a 24 percent crit rate with xiao ascension stats. Having around 40% more from deathmatch limits your crit rate substats from artifacts since crit rate is excellent at around 70% or 80%.

After 25 pulls, I got him! Other than the traveler, this is my first 5 star, and I still have 21k primos to pull for my Itto.

I’m confused between xiao and kazuha; I genuinely want kazuha, but xiao’s storyline and character appeal to me. Itto, ayaka, and ayato are already in my hand.

I believe that xiao is suitable for the vast majority of players. In genshin, you spend 80% of your time exploring and gathering resources. With a character like xiao, it’s even more enjoyable.

I’ll pull for xiao 100% of the time, if I lose 50/50, I’ll get kazuha, because at the end of the day, this is just a game to have fun with.

In Abyss 12-2, I only used Xiao, Ganyu, Diona, and Venti for the lols. It was actually quite effective. Ganyu did a lot of work as an off-field dps, and I only used her as an on-field main in 12-2-3.

Xiao is good against hoards, but not so much against bosses. His burst uptime is less efficient. Itto, Hu Tao, and Ayaka are units that excel at dealing with bosses.

xiao is the character I’ve wanted since his release, but I’ve lost 50/50 twice in each of his banners. Now I’m guaranteed and will reach pity, so it’s amazing I can get him after so long.

Xiao holds a special place in my heart. I started playing Genshin after hearing that one of my favorite male Japanese voice actors, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, was voicing him.
