What Big Genshin Impact Players AREN’T Telling YOU About Xiao…
Is Xiao good? Is Xiao REALLY worth it?? Should you summon for Xiao?
Xiao is a really great DPS main carry… but he’s also extremely risky to use. I love Xiao, but he’s a very selfish character and it can often lead to a bad situation and cause a bad run in domains, in spiral abyss and vs bosses. In this Xiao gameplay video I have Xiao vs Childe, a domain and vs the new Geovishap. I discuss how DPS Xiao can really help deal major damage, but how you need to build xiao a good team for him to be able to survive and play to the best of his ability. I’ve included both my 5 star full DPS and Support Build using the Primordial Jade Winged Spear (With Zhongli, Venti and Qiqi) as well as a budget 4 star build with the Prototype Starglitter (with Diona, Qingqiu and Sucrose). I hope this helps people make a decision when deciding if you should summon for Xiao or building a team for Xiao.
Good Luck travelers!

My team in xiao,xinyan,diona,and Bennett so i have a lot of healing im gonna be surprised if any of them die 💀
this helped me decide not to roll for him. i simply don't have the resources, and would rather wait for either hutao/venti. i really like this more realistic expectation of him. i always come across big youtubers displaying the absolute ceiling of each character. it's refreshing to see someone showcasing obtainable levels. thank you!
The dislikes came from Xiao fanboys.
Thanks
If u play xiao in ps4 try this controller setup ( elemental skill = square /elemental brust= circle / normal and charged atack = R2 / pick loot = triangle) it's good for plunge and charged attacks
It's painful to watch someone use Xingqiu's burst and not proc the water swords, not even once! You can plunge with Xiao and get an auto attack in really quick before jumping and plunging again. That is a LOT of lost dps, and if you happen to have EM on your Xiao from sub-stats his swirl can add ok damage (this obviously isn't something to invest in, just take advantage of if it's there)
I have both Ganyu and Xiao, I also have Diluc.
basically all my 5 stars are selfish dps.
AR50 my account has diluc bennet ganyu diona max C, xiao and keqing ِ AND MONA and with alot of coin shop … And i wanna sell it . its on EU SERVER…. my discord is PAIN#4001…. if you wanna have it….
i just dont find time to play the game anymore XD thought any of you would have it <3 [40 $]
My current team is Xiao, Qiqi, Xingqiu(not built), and sucrose. I don't know if I should replace Xingqiu with Albedo but I like Xingqiu for the elemental reaction.
lol i was surprised how the team i am building for xiao is the same as the ones on your video (xiao, xingqiu, sucrose, diona). honestly, i'm really having fun with practicing and experimenting xiao XD. i don't really have a problem yet with xiao though, maybe because i've built him and his supports good enough. having diona's sheild and healing really makes things easier for me tho XD
I personally don’t have that problem when I put qiqi for healing

Lol. Git gud
No disrespect but standing still and brainlessly spamming plunge attacks against a boss known for 1 shotting people are you really surprised?
Ok so after watching the rest of the video and not just the first 2 mins I can say I feel like my comment still stands all I can see is you activating his ulti then spam plunges, imo most of the time with high-risk attacks in games like this they wait till they have an opening to do it and not just tank the damage.
IDK I might just sound like an asshole cuz I don't have xiao and I'm on PC so I wouldn't understand but that's all I could think watching this.
Xiao: I’m a glass cannon, close ranged, and lose health during ult
Bennet: no
P.s. but Idk abt the big youtubers not telling abt him being a glass cannon part, most of them have all mentioned his downsides. The videos where they don’t mention that is only when they’re just showcasing his big pp dmg. Pretty sure 99% of them have a separate video that goes over his kit or his potential
im sorry but that clip in the childe"s fight was bad .. you are the one who dont know how to play with xiao XDD
So Xiao is 'basically' Ganyu, you hit hard but also get hit hard, so don't mess up.
Funny thing is Xiao is the most hyped character among f2p, but turns out to be not really f2p friendly.
Ganyu was underhyped primarily because people were skipping her for Xiao, but she turns out to be the more f2p friendly and well-rounded unit (able to be both DPS and support).
Personally, as someone who don't use healers, he gives me motivation to cook Sweet Madames. Haha.
Xiao is not that hard to heal. I dislike that he loses hp (only because I'm weird and hate not having everyone on my team at 100% health at all times) but it's not really a problem. I tend to do fine with just using Xingqui with him when doing bosses etc.. Use Xingqui skill and then switch to Xiao and go crazy. Or I use my super underleveled Barbara. All my healers are lvl 50 or lower lol (I really need to level them up.) However on my main team I use Zhongli Xiao Bennett and MC. His losing health is pretty much a non factor on that team.
My advice is to just upgrade Barbara or Qiqi if you have them. And get a shielder or Xingqui to protect you while you plunge. Xiao is a selfish dps and he definitely doesn't fit everyone's playstyle.
my fav team for xiao (which is the first time I manage to beat spiral abyss) f11- Xiao, Xingqiu, Diona, Sucrose c0 w no build)(thrilling tales)… f12- Xiao, Xingqiu, Chongyun (underleveled), Jean
Great Video, what do you Think about this team for Xiao: Xiao, Xinqiu, Xinyan with Gravestone for the passive, physical res shred when the ult isnt up, shield and bennett?
I pair Xiao with Sucrose, Bennet, and Zhongli! He works very well and I’m able to get up to 40k per plunge during his burst ^^ I’m just fine using Bennet but I also tried him with Qiqi and they paired very well together
Will someone please tell mihoyo to fix Xiao’s height on the next update. Make him taller 😅. I mean, my man is a leader of yaksha and banishing evil and all but man u need some milk.
Soo should I trade my Childe for Xiao??
This is what the right team line up shoukd be, a tanker,a healer, a crowd control and a damage dealer
I mean thats true, i can see why genshin make his playstyle like that probably couse his back story is actually somewhat similar to his skill style and game play.
Very sad indeed
Playing him with Zhongli and Bennett is easy mode. He never dies, deals a huge amount of damage due to both buffs and you still have one slot in the team for whatever you need to add. No problems playing him whatsoever with a good team comp. Ganyu is also quite squishy. That’s the way to balance the characters, glass cannons are supposed to be like this. IMHO.
Well I agree with you,xiao is fragile
My Xiao talents are 8,6,8. What talents shall I do next? Shall I make the skill 8 aswell? Or shall I level to the normal attack to 10?
