Xiangling Best Weapon

Xiangling Off-Field DPS Weapon

Best Weapons For Off-Field DPS Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Staff Of The Scarlet Sands	CRIT Rate 44.1% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT Rate makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Stacks give ATK bonus from a percentage of total EM (max 3 stacks) └ Xiangling is great with both ATK & EM stats
2nd	Staff Of Homa	CRIT DMG 66.2% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT DMG makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Universal polearm that is great for most polearm users - Gain ATK bonus from a percentage of max HP └ Gain another ATK bonus when HP is below 50%
3rd	Wavebreaker's Fin	ATK 13.8% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team
F2P	The Catch	Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Increases Elemental Burst DMG & its CRIT Rate - Fishing-exclusive weapon which makes it guaranteed to R5
F2P	Missive Windspear	ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage └ Gain additional ATK% & EM% when triggering an elemental reaction - Event-exclusive weapon which makes it easy to R5
6th	Dragon's Bane	Elemental Mastery 221 (Lvl. 90) - EM stat increases elemental reaction damage └ Stronger damage when triggering vaporize - Aesthetically good for Xiangling
7th	Lithic Spear	ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Can provide additional ATK% & CRIT Rate └ Passive is situational since it only takes effect when team members hail from Liyue

All Polearms Are Viable But Go For CRIT Stat

While all existing polearms are viable for Xiangling, it is recommended to aim for CRIT stat as much as possible since it is the best stat for a damager. Nevertheless, it is great to use a polearm that can provide a lot of damage multipliers and whose passive can be maximized by Xiangling.

Besides ATK%, you can also go for EM Sands to increase the damage of all Pyro-related reactions.

Xiangling Best Team Comp

Premium Team For Xiangling

Xiangling is a great off-field Pyro DPS that works well with characters that react with Pyro, especially Vaporize.

Sub DPS	Flex Support	Main DPS	Support
Xiangling	Bennett	Childe	Kazuha
Details
- Xiangling will act as a Sub DPS dealing Pyro to enemies off-field. - With Bennett, her attacks will be further boosted with resonance and buff from Burst. Make sure to use her Burst while inside Bennett's circle to snapshot the buff. - Childe is a great as an on-field DPS with Xiangling since Childe will be able to deal powerful Vaporize damage consistently. - Kazuha will buff the damage of Childe and Xiangling.

Other Characters That Works With Xiangling

Character	Sub	Details
Bennett	Jean Diona	- Jean is a more direct replacement for Bennett. However, she doesn't have the ATK buff, but can instead provide Elemental Shred - Diona will change the dynamic of the team slightly since it will be Freeze/Melt. If you have her at C6, she can provide a hefty Elemental Mastery buff
Childe	Neuvillette Ayato Lyney	- Neuvillete and Ayato are great replacements for Childe since they all can fill the on-field Hydro Main DPS role - Alternatively, Xiangling works great as a Pyro Sub-DPS even for Mono Comps such as with Lyney
Kazuha	Sucrose Lynette Venti	- Sucrose is a direct replacement for Kazuha - Venti on the other hand is best against enemies that are light/small since he can group them. Against other enemies, he's not that effective

Free-To-Play Party

Sub DPS	Support	Support	Main DPS
Xiangling	Amber	Barbara	Kaeya
Details
- Amber & Xiangling gives the team Pyro Resonance that boosts ATK. - Barbara can heal and spread Hydro for vaporize & freeze reaction. - Kaeya can inflict Cryo for Melt and also act as a main DPS.

Xiangling Skill Guide & How To Use Xiangling

Recommended Rotation For Xiangling

	Recommended Rotation
1	Use Elemental Skill to proc either Pyro Resistance down or get the Attack Buff from the chili Guoba leaves behind
2	Use Buff characters.
3	Release Elemental Burst. Can either go immediately to normal attack if Main DPS or switch to the Main DPS for combos
4	Return to no.1

Uses Of Xiangling's Elemental Skill

Get Attack Boost From Guoba's Chili

Additionally, Guoba will also leave behind a chili that will give an Attack Boost to whoever eats it. Use this whenever you're looking to start combos!

Apply Pyro Resistance Debuff

Enemies hit by Guoba will receive a Pyro Resistance Down debuff. This should be an opener for you to ensure the most damage out of Xiangling's Burst. This is unlockable at C1

Gives Ample Energy For Burst

Each hit of Guoba's firey breath gives energy to Xiangling. Although with low Energy Recharge, it can't fully charge Xiangling's Burst, it's still a reliable way of getting energy to her.

Uses Of Xiangling's Elemental Burst

Constant Elemental Reaction

Xiangling's Burst is one of the best skills when it comes to getting Elemental Reactions since it has no internal cooldown. All of her hits will proc Elemental Reaction. Use it when you're ready with either your main DPS or enabler to proc reactions.

Works Well With Buffs

Any buffs that are applied to Xiangling when her Burst is activated stay all though out the Elemental Burst period. Make sure to buff Xiangling before activating her Elemental Burst to maximize her damage.

Xiangling Wish & Constellation Guide

Should You Get Or Wish For Xiangling?

Xiangling Is A Free Character

Xiangling can be obtained upon clearing Spiral Abyss Floor 3. She is a great off-field Pyro DPS that can increase the ATK & Pyro DMG of the whole team.

Her constellations can be obtained in all banners and limited banners that feature Xiangling. Although Xiangling's constellation improves her DPS capabilities, it is not recommended to aim for Xiangling when pulling unless Xiangling's rate is boosted.

Best Constellation For Xiangling

Rating	Constellation Effect
★★★・・	C1: Crispy Outside, Tender Inside Opponents 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 opponent 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%

★★★★・	C6: Condensed Pyronado For the duration of Pyronado, all party members receive a 15% Pyro DMG Bonus.

Strongest At C4, But C6 Provides Additional Support Abilities

Xiangling's strongest ability is her Burst and at C4, it gets a 3 level increase and its duration is increased. If you can get her to C6, it's better since the active character gains a Pyro DMG Bonus when her Burst is up.
