Best Teams for Xiangling
Xiangling Works Best as an Off-Field Pyro DPS
| Rating | Team Description |
|---|---|
| Best | ▼ Melt Team - Best team for multiplying Xiangling's Burst damage with the Melt reaction. - Requires using a Cryo catalyst character since other Cryo DPS can be clunky to use or have high Energy requirements, making them unfit to use with Xiangling. |
| 2nd | ▼ Vaporize Team - 2nd best team for multiplying Xiangling's Burst damage through reactions. - More flexible than Melt since there's a lot of Hydro characters that can be used as the Reaction Driver. |
| 3rd | ▼ Overload Team - Chevreuse can be used as a Pyro character to funnel Energy for Xiangling. - Raiden Shogun is one of the best On-Field characters for Xiangling since she can charge her Burst. |
| 4th | ▼ National Team - F2P-friendly team that utilizes a full 4-star team. - While it was very good for Abyss clearing years ago, it can struggle against new character kits that are very backloaded. - Members are easily replaceable especially if you have a character who can perform much better. |
Xiangling's Elemental Burst deals high damage but with a high Energy cost. Melt and Vaporize are her best teams where she can deal more damage and the On-Field driver can also deal powerful damage. Burning Team with Kinich is not listed since her Burst cost can make it difficult to maintain Burning.

Citlali can provide shields for Wriothesley and hold Scroll set to buff both Pyro and Cryo damage. While her Passive doesn't shred Cryo RES, the Pyro shred is great for Xiangling's damage.

An old team from Genshin Impact's early years that relies on three (3) reactions to deal damage. The base team of all 4-star can be replaced with newer characters who can improve the damage dealt by Xiangling and the Hydro Sub-DPS.

Substitute Characters
| Character | Sub | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Chongyun | CitlaliRaiden Shogun | - Citlali can be used as alternative to Chongyun also she won't be able to infuse Cryo to other teammates' melee attacks. - Raiden Shogun can be used as On-Field DPS, changing the team into the Raiden National or Rational variant. |
| Xingqiu | FurinaYelan | - Furina and Yelan are 5-star alternatives to Xingqiu who can work similarly to him. - Both have a damage buff, with Furina's being higher, but they do not have the interruption resistance and damage mitigation that Xingqiu has. |
| Bennett | KazuhaXilonenSucroseLan Yan | - Since this is a team reliant on Elemental Reactions, Kazuha is better compared to Xilonen due to his ability to spread Elements when Swirl is triggered. - Sucrose and Lan Yan can hold VV and also trigger Swirl. For buffs, Sucrose can buff EM while Lan Yan provides shields. |
Since this is a team reliant on having 3 or more reactions, any compatible DPS can be used as the On-Field character. Just change the Sub-DPS to get more reactions if needing to do so.
