Uses Of Xinyan's Elemental Skill
Use To Get A Pyro Shield
With every use of Xinyan's Shield, you will get a Pyro shield that will last until it's depleted or expired. It will stay on the field even if you switch out of Xinyan.
Apply Pyro To Enemies Off-Field
Hitting more than 2 enemies using Xinyan's Elemental Skill will upgrade the shield enabling it to deal off-field Pyro. This is great for Pyro Reactions at Swirl or Overload Comps .
Shielded Characters Will Have Increase Physical Damage
Upon unlocking the second Ascension of Xinyan, the person being protected by the shield have a Physical Damage buff.
Uses Of Xinyan's Elemental Burst
Powerful One-Shot Physical Damage
Affect Multiple Enemies With Pyro
Xinyan's Burst is an explosive release of Pyro! When you need to deal damage to enemies or if you need to apply Pyro to multiple of them, this is an easy way to do so.
At Constellation 2, It Also Provides Shield
At Constellation 2, using Elemental Burst will also provide your character with a shield. This makes Xinyan a stable Shield Provider for the team. Pre-C2 Xinyan tends to have unstable Shields without Sacrificial Greatsword.
Should You Pull for Xinyan's Constellation Or Best Weapon?
Any Constellation Level is Okay
| Constellation Priority |
|---|
| C2 > C4 > C6 |
C2 is a Good Stopping Point
Xinyan's is usable an off-field Pyro character with a shield at C0, but her constellations do improve her performance in this role. Notably, her C2 gives an additional shield after she uses her Burst and ensures that said Burst will always be a guaranteed crit. If you want to make her shielding a little more reliable, as well as increase her damage contribution somewhat, then C2 is a good stopping point.
Further constellations on Xinyan allows her to take on a more on-field position as a Physical DPS. Examples being her C4 letting her decrease Physical RES upon hitting a skill, and her C6 improving her damage as a Charged Attack Physical DPS. If you are interested in this variation of playstyle from her, then you can consider getting C6.
As mentioned, Xinyan does not require her constellations to function as intended. If you aren't considering further investment beyond her C0, then you may consider any Xinyan constellation level that may come your way a nice bonus to have.
