Xiangling Skill Guide & How To Use Xiangling

How To Use Xiangling?

▼Elemental Burst is a really powerful off-field attack.
▼Elemental Burst works well with buffs.
▼Needs plenty of Energy Recharge to be stable.

Elemental Burst Is A Really Powerful Off-Field Attack

Both the Elemental Skill and Burst of Xiangling are off-field attacks that makes it easier for Pyro reactions like Vaporize and Burgeon to happen. The Elemental Burst of Xiangling is specially powerful with infliction of Pyro and also damage. Buffing and making the Elemental Burst of Xiangling stable is the key use of Xiangling.

Elemental Burst Works Well With Buffs

The Elemental Burst of Xiangling retains the status / buffs that it has during activation (also called Snapshotting) making it work amazing with Buffs. While in battle, make sure to activate buffs first then using Elemental Burst.

Sample Characters That Gives Buff
Bennett	Kazuha

Needs Plenty Of Energy Recharge To Be Stable

Xiangling has a very high Elemental Burst cost of 80 Energy and is often off-field. Because of this, she does not obtain energy orbs. Players commonly use Bennett's Elemental Skill to funnel energy to Xiangling for faster charge of Elemental Burst.

Should You Pull for Xiangling's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Aim For C4 if You're Able To

Constellation Priority
C4 > C3 > C6

C4 Is Ideal for Longer Burst Duration

Xiangling has gone largely uncontested in her niche as an off-field Pyro sub-dps with sustained Pyro application, and even if she were to be bested in future content, she will still perform very well regardless due to how her kit was designed.

Her constellations serve to greatly increase her effectiveness in her ideal role, with C4 being her strongest since it increases her Burst's duration by nearly half it's base time span, which overall increases her personal damage output and subsequently even her team's total DPS with or without triggering reactions. Her C3 increases her Burst by a few more levels, which, when combined with her C4, make for a very strong pairing. With this in mind, aiming for C4 is highly recommended.

Her C6 is a nice boost to have for her and other Pyro characters due to the Pyro DMG bonus, but isn't as impactful as her C4, so it's less of a goal and more of a bonus to an already good kit.

Xiangling's Constellations & Effects
