Xiao is getting a dedicated artifact set that will bring value you to him in areas that are needed. In this video we compare xiao’s new set against his current BIS artifact combo of viridescent venerer and gladiator/shimenawa. Xiao’s biggest issues are not having enough energy recharge, and not having a legitimate support character that synergizes with his kit other than zhongli & Bennett.

This set with Shenhe POG ????
Who has jean c4 tho ? This will probably work if you have her c4
my xiao is c1 and doesn't have energy problem, he is 140 ER. 2 E before burst, 2 or 3 E after burst and his burst is back on. for the most part. my Xiao need attack. because Xiao has so much damage built in to his kit he lacks attack to make it go up. I'd its better farm for ER subsets than to sacrifice that attack. I have a c4 jean. but if my Xiao has ER issue since I want to farm better set. I will run him ER for sure.
I don't even have xiao but I like your content lol
Yoimiya set?
I skiped him after i used him in my friend's account all the problems that SDK mentioned are true and i got zhongli insted im going for albedo next and that will help me find if his set will actually be released and if it did im gonna pull him on his next rerun
Thank you for the video, man, i was really curious about this!
Tho I'd have a big question:
How do you think the output would be if he was using Calamity queller instead of Homa? That way the anemo dmg bonus gets back on track a lil and also more atk% after getting the sands to ER on the new set. Im kida curious tbh
Maybe this actually creates new teamcomps for him? this way is even freeing Bennett from the team? Idk, im bad at math =))
I was thinking, what about the damage loss on the E… Doesn't that also count when thinking about the new artifact ser? I'm only really questioning myself about farming this new set because we've been farming for Xiao for over a year and i think anyone can agree with me that farming for Xiao has been literally pain. Just pain in maiden's set form
16 minutes in a nutshell. If you spent 1 year on 2+2, then if you collect the same cv 4 new set, then your xiao will close abyss 2-3 seconds faster.
This set is not good for xiao. It's sad that hoyovers refuses to give him a good set or a good support, such a waste.
I don't even have Xiao but love listening to your analyses anyway. Great predictions and original observations, keep it up.
Ayato just got 2nd wave of buffs to his weapon, constellations, base stats, and also his passives.
I have Xiao but I'm not a main Xiao so I dont know if I should farm this set because the other artifact set that will be on the new domain sucks so damn much. I mean yeah it also has a 2 piece set of Atk +18% but still is bullshit from Mihoyo designing a 4 piece set with RNG to proc 😒
I play Xiao since day one c0 without fischl but in most cases with venti and i NEVER had energy problems idk what everyone wants from him… I don't play him for like bosses cause i like the AOE and it gets him energy when he kills… And yeah he is on field plunging for 15 seconds that's always enough for me idk (i have 128ER).. is my acc broken? Or are all xIaO hAs eNeRgY pRoBlEmS believers non Xiao players? Anyways
Yep that was my first thought when I saw this set. It’s not broken, but it is definitely more balanced for Xiao. Still not sure if I’m going to farm it though.
Can someone tell me if i have (68 cri rate, 210 crit dmg, 150 energy recharge and 1806 atk with a c3 blackcliff pole) is it worth it to farm the new artifacts again like he said “put the sands artifact with energy recharge”
Like i already have everything i need in xiao high crit, high ER and a kind of a high atk
Thank for the video ,I hope they modify his artefact or buff it .
Thank you for opening my eyes. Because initially I thought it's not worth to farm for the new artifact because I have good 2pc shimenawa and 2pc gladiator. But now that running ER sands on Xiao is possible with the new set, this will greatly help me especially when dealing with single boss enemies in the abyss. As his energy issue is decent when fighting mobs but horrible when fighting against a single boss.
AND HERE WE GO WE GOT A REAL LIFE CHILDE<3
Thanks for the video! I was already interested in testing the set because my Benny is also solicited with Raiden national, and the idea of being able to run them + Xiao double geo is enticing as hell. But you're right, ER in a selfish DPS is overlooked. The last hypercarry I built was Itto and my artifacts had no ER, so it was a struggle even in mono geo. But once I put Skyward Pride on him, it was delicious. I recently got a PJWS for Xiao and had to sacrifice the ER on his circlet to balance my build again (he was Blackcliff before) and let me tell you, I have no real rotations anymore since the poor guy is 116% now. I still manage on bosses but not for timed stuff. Because I built Itto before, and see the beauty of getting your ult up after one rotation, I understand how QoL this set could be assuming I get lucky with RNG. So yeah, maybe I will burn the 40 fragile resins I was hoarding in case of emergency for this domain
Anemo traveler does shred anemo resistance too and could replace Jean since bennet does heal and zhongli shield is goated
Why did you use the Staff of Homa over the Jade Spear?
The new set looks insane for Shenhe also since she transfers actual attack not only base atk
Thank you for this video! Finally, my Xiao will be getting attention after I’ve benched him for a whole year. Also, it’s rumored that Heizou is an anemo unit that’s going to be made for Xiao. Nothing is confirmed, but something to keep in mind for the future
This new set will be amazing for calamity queller Xiao
I’m using the same team comp Xiao Zhongli Bennett and Jean (but she’s c2) my xiao er is 125% is it worth it to go for the new set? I just finished farming for him it hurts😞
You got next up fr great video
With 136% ER my Xiao is running fine without an Anemo battery
I just run Albedo for some extra particles, use Xiao's Skill twice before and 2 more times after his Burst expires and with that 80% of the time he's full again (my Xiao by himself need 6 Skill uses to recharge from 0 to full without any help of outside sources of particle generation)
If you have elegy and aloy I recommend it Ik it’s sound dumb af bc y aloy but trust. She gives a lot of energy, procs elegy perk fast, and her skill cd last as long as the perk.
Can I use raiden to provide energy for him
my xiao with 140%ER feels really comfy to regain his energy back. Idk why my sub stats keep rolling that but i aint complaining cuz im still able to do 49k plunges with high burst uptime xd
This is really interesting stuff! I love your number breakdowns. KQM list Geo Bros (Albedo and Zhongli) for Geo resonance and Jean as one of Xiao's best team comps. With this set opening up the potential to free up our second anemo slot, I'd be interested how Geo Resonance would compare to Pyro Resonance in this instance. Is stacking more attack worth it when running Bennet or would that hit diminishing returns?
