What Happened To Xiao? | Genshin Impact

by



From being a powerful solo DPS character in the early days of Genshin to falling off in relevance throughout version 2, to a steady rise in version 3 to reaching new heights in version 4, today we’ll be discussing what happened to Xiao, and he managed to turn things around over the course of Genshin Impact’s timeline.

  1. I wish I've pulled for Xian Yun, unfortunately I didn't have enough Primogems during her release. So now my Team is Xiao, Furina, Jean & Faruzan or Xiao, Zhongli, Bennett & Faruzan.🫰

  6. his premium team is so good for a plethora of reasons:

    1/ He doesn’t need to switch out after setting up all other teammates buffs between waves (unlike nahida teams or team that requires swirl debuff)

    2/ Faruzan Anemo Buff/Debuff last for so long and apply every second while off field!!!

    3/ Faruzan also create about 5 extra Anemo particle every rotation off-field, not metioning her triggering Favonius.

    4/ Xianyun making him outstanding in Single target scenario thanks to her A4

    I think his team is gonna be on the top for a very long time, the only thing that can take him down is some future enemies that can interrupt him mid air 😂

  13. Most of his best supports are universally good characters, so i don't feel like he needs much investment, to be honest. I'm not using him much, but he's still useful in theatre and recently when there was a centaur boss in the abyss i casually took my lvl 70 Xiao (needed a way to dispose of the shield) and managed to 3* chamber in the first try (with Zhongli, Furina and Xianyun). So, i'd say he's in the situation i like the most for a characters: he's far from a must pull, but if you like him and want to use him, you can hit some nice numbers

  14. Still waiting for Itto to get a proper team without any drawbacks which is Gorou at this moment. I guess that will never happen as Hoyo has completely neglected Geo. The newar Geo units are Geo in name only.
    Xiao is a special case as he is Hoyo's favourite in GI and Liyue represents China.

  15. probably a biased video idea; What happened to Diluc? I've been a Diluc enjoyer since 2.3, and I can very firmly say that the trip was absolutely WILD. Going from being a very sub-optimal comfort character pick to actually being able to meaningfully rival other meta Pyro units was insane to watch in real time. Anyway, I just think it would be a neat video 😀

  21. Ah, sweet vindication. Also, as a Xiao main since 1.3 who has been giving him his upgrades/teammates as they come out or almost, I can say he really felt like a different character since Xianyun's release. The JOY that is the freedom to be able to reposition yourself when an enemy is staggered out of range, or run to the next mob without being forced to stop your burst to redo team rotation and funnel particles… It's not just the great damage and buffs that come with the FFXX team, it's also how SMOOTH it feels to play with Xianyun and C6 Faruzan. We all love the other Xianyun plunge teams and the big numbers, but except for Hu Tao and Xiao they're all married to Bennett's circle impact. I have C6 Gaming and whenever I play him I wish I were playing Xiao instead because of that. Besides, all of Xiao's team have great synergy and buff each other: triple anemo solves energy problems for all anemos, Furina gives Faruzan a buff too, if Xianyun uses VV she buffs Furina, if Xianyun uses noblesse she buffs Faruzan, if Faruzan is C6 and uses TOTM she buff's Xianyun's atk which buffs Xiao more. Also, a well invested Furina helps a lot with enemies who have high resistance to anemo, which means you can still use Xiao with things like Coppelia + Coppelius and brute force your way out even if there are faster teams for that. It's really nice to finish a chamber suddenly because Crabaletta one-shots a random mob out of your sight lol.

    A nitpick is that I've never really seen anyone using Xiangling back in the day. Zy0x made double anemo (Jean) double geo (Zhongli, Albedo) popular as his premium team for a while, but pre-Faruzan his better team was a hypercarry one with Benny, Zhongli, and TTDS Sucrose. Once Faruzan was released, she replaced Sucrose. There was a double carry team with Raiden for a while too, to solve his energy issues, but why would you if you could Raiden National instead? There's always been attempts to use sub-DPS characters in the older days but they felt copium since Xiao's burst was too long. Even Bennett, his best support historically and one who can still be used today as replacement in his teams, had his burst die before Xiao was done.

  24. It has been 1.5 years since I set Xiao as a future long project to get. I am slowly getting all the pieces need for his best premier team. Staff of Homa, 230 Cv MH set, C1 Furina, 3 cons away from C6 Faruzan.

    This years goals are now clear; Xianyun and the rest of Faruzan’s Cons. Honestly even without Xianyun, I think I might get him anyways this year, since this Investment with Bennett should be enough to clear any content

  25. Xiao is my first 5* back when I played at 3.4
    For new player, it was hell using him since his burst is godly but drain HP. But I manage to go from Liyue to Sumeru carried by him because he's the bestest damage dealer I owned at that time. Things got better after I pulled Zhongli at 4.0 then Xianyun at 4.4 was a gamechanger. I managed to get my first 12-3 with Zhongli, Xiao, Xianyun, and Faruzan team with Xiao plunging attack reached 100k+. I didn't really invest in reaction since his pure damage is already very high.
    I have never been so proud with my first 5 star

  31. Could you please make a video on Neuvillette’s best team.
    On paper its Neuvillette, Furina, Kazuha, Zhongli but in comparison Baizhu is swapped with Zhongli making up the most used team in abyss
