Among the most interesting, its C1 " Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside" reduces Pyro resistance by 15% of enemies hit by Guoba.

The C4 ' Sweet Kitchen ' extends the duration of PyronadoXiangling's elemental rampage by 40%. This boost allows the attack to stay on the field much longer!

How to play Xiangling in Genshin Impact ?

Xiangling's gameplay in Genshin Impact is as simple as it is effective: the heroine Pyro is mostly played as a DPS support and stays on the field very little.

Start by summoning Guoba with the elemental attack Attack Guoba. The panda will spit fire. However, it will not move, merely attacking in front of it. The passive Crossfire increases the range of its attacks by 20%. And thanks to Attention, ça pique, Guoba releases a chilli pepper. The character who picks it up gets a 10% bonus toATK for 10 seconds.

It is above all PyronadoXiangling's elemental rampage, which makes her powerful. Xiangling spins her spear around, releasing a tornado of fire that devastates everything in its path. When the attack is launched, it retains the buffs granted by your other characters for its duration. The attack continues even if Xiangling is no longer active, accompanying the hero of your choice.

So, once you've placed Guoba and cast Pyronado, you can switch characters to create elemental reactions and pick up the chili from Guoba with your main DPS.

You are advised to increase Xiangling's elemental rampage first, and then his elemental attack a little. On the other hand, you will almost never use his normal attack.

What is the best equipment for Xiangling?

Xiangling's appeal lies in its elemental rampage. However, Pyronado costs 80 energy points. For optimal equipment, cheerfully increase its energy recharge. However, you should not neglect its ATK and its critical hit and damage rate. Here are the best weapons and artifacts to equip on Xiangling to have a good build:

The best artefacts for Xiangling

The 4-piece Emblem of Broken Destiny set is the best artifact choice for Xiangling. You will increase its energy recharge by 20% with 2 pieces, but also its damage if you equip it with 4 pieces. The damage inflicted by the elemental rampage is then increased by 25% of Xiangling's energy recharge.

If you don't have enough coins, you can combine it with two items from the Witches of the Burning Flames set to get a 15% Pyro bonus at DMG . And if you opt for 4 coins, the damage of elemental reactions will be boosted, as well as the Pyro damage bonus after using an elemental skill.

A third option is the Ancient Royal Ritual set. With 2 pieces you increase the energy recharge by 20% and with 4 you increase the damage of all your characters by 20% for 12 seconds after an elemental rampage.

If you are not sure which artifact set to choose, choose the one with the best stats. We recommend energy recharge, elemental mastery orATK% for the hourglass, Pyro damage bonus for the cup and critical rate or critical damage on the crown.

As for secondary statistics, focus on :

• Critical rate ;
• Critical damage ;
• ATK% ;
• Energy Recharge;
• Elemental Mastery to increase damage from elemental reactions.

The best weapons for Xiangling

Engulfing Lightning (5★) is one of the best weapons to equip on Xiangling in Genshin Impact. In addition to providing a lot of energy recharge, its passive increases ATK to 28% of the energy recharge above 100%. And after an elemental rampage, the energy recharge is increased by 30% for 12 seconds.

Which team should Xiangling play in?

Xiangling excels in the Abyss! His Pyronado allows him to hit many enemies at the same time and to carry out elementary chain reactions.

Xiangling is often played with Bennett; the Pyro hero. In addition to boosting his elemental rampage, it provides him with energy to perform his Pyronado more easily.

Among the best teams, we recommend a team composed of only 4 star heroes: Xiangling / Xingqiu / Sucrose / Bennett. By attacking with Xingqiu during Xiangling's Pyronado , you will apply Hydro and do Evaporation.

And, if you have Raiden, you can play her instead of Sucrose to do even more damage with both Overcharge and Electrocution. The Archon will recharge your team's energy at the same time.
