I'm a Kaeya main and I can't thank my Xiangling enough for helping me farming that disgusting Dragonspine domain. I hate that domain with every fiber of my being but she makes everything easier
i felt this in my SOUL, I'm relatively new and lemme tell you how much I was struggling trying to get through dragonspine with Amber as my only pyro lmfao.

The childe variant of xianglings team is called “international”. This is with kazuha instead of sucrose. This is because it consists of 4 party members all from different nations (childe being the only snezhnayan one). It is by far one of the strongest teams in the game
OHHH that makes much more sense now lol. what about the og national? was it called as such because 3/4 of them were from liyue? (chongyun, xingqiu, xiangling)
@@luiss428 if I remember correctly it was called chinese national because most chinese players have the team. Kinda sad chongyun was the old nuke it it but got completely forgotten
@@luiss428its cos of the Internet slang. Im not too clear about how the term came about, but national is used to describe cheap teams that the common folk can have. Its to describe affordable teams in terms of resource. 国家队. I remember a video by a Chinese vtuber that explained this. Btw the Chinese version of the national team is simply 万达国家对. Which simply translates to kazu-tartag national
@@Harveyway thank you! i was a bit confused because of the naming. i interpreted "national" team such that this was the team most CN players used. i also thought this team was called national because they represented liyue, which is a representation of china lol. i learned later that national meant "characters you probably have" as u said, which meant very f2p friendly! but i understand if "F2P" wasnt a familiar term for cn players. so currently we have og national (xl, xq, chong, benny) national (xl, xq, benny, sucrose/kazu) raiden national (xl, xq, benny, raiden) international (tart, kazu, xl, benny)
I've been a huge fan of the Raiden variation of the National team since she came out! Overload knocking smaller units around can be a bit of a pain, but against bosses it does absolutely insane damage!
I don't get why nobody talks about national + kaeya. Activating his burst at the same time as xianglings just melts everything around you to the extent that you can just stand in the middle and enjoy the show.
I've been running my Kaeya and Xiangling together for a while. I love being an unsophisticated degenerate and just watching their bursts go BRRRRRR and kill everything
Xiangling is so broken. I've built her and she's always on one side of the Abyss. She used to be on my Raiden National, but have since swapped her out with C6 Sara and now Xiangling is on my Ganyu melt team. When she's not in either of them, she's in Sucrose Fischl Xiangling Xingqiu. Besides pyronado, Guoba is very strong too.
It doesn't. The buff applies after she casts Pyronado, which is the time when her Burst snapshots Xiangling's current stats. Hence, C6 only buffs her team and not Xiangling's Pyronado.
Xiangling wrecks her side of the abyss now that she's properly built, my struggle is always getting the other side to pull their weight. Poor Xiangling is going to have terrible back problems with all the accounts she's carrying.
I built a true mono-pyro team using c6 Xiangling, Bennett, and Klee with Lavawalker for DPS, zhongli for res shred and comfy shield. It absolutely destroys everything in seconds. (I call it the Arson team)
Recently started playing as a F2P and everyone cannot stop talking about how good Xiangling is, but I'm still missing Bennett for all of her best team comps 😭
I gotchu bro, I’ve been using Xiangling, Amber, Kaeya and Barbara. Xiangling will be your main DPS whereas Amber and Kaeya will be your Sub DPS/Support and Barbara as your go to healer. What characters do you own?
I am using xiangling in an overload and electrocharged team with main dps keqing, sub-dps xiangling, burst sub-dps xingqiu and a healer and battery bennet, with this team I can proc many elementary reactions and quick clearing of mobs and even bosses. Xiangling is such a versatile characther than I use in many teams because of her capabilities and I like her story too
Raiden, bennett, xiangling, and childe is * chef's kiss *. This team does mad lad damage and has carried me hard through abyss. It instantly became one of my strongest teams, if not, the strongest. Outdoing even my hu tao team (who I like to keep xinqiu and sucrose for). My raiden c0 still hits pretty hard (I can get 100k+ slashes), so single target isn't a problem either. If you have both childe and raiden then I'd definitely give this team a shot Edit: raiden also allows you to build more damage on xiangling too
I had Xiangling at C2 and I kept getting Xiangling on Itto's banner and lost 50/50 T^T. At the end of all my 101 wishes I had C6 Xiangling, C6 Fischl, and C1 Gorou. Thanks to this video I'll be using her more in my team comps and in abyss
Weird thing about Genshin is that the snapshot mechanic is different on every character and Xiangling is an especially unique one Her burst snapshot not only the atk stat but also damage bonus so her C6 is actually not used in increasing burst damage but if you cast guoba after her burst, it will buff it, I don't know if her crit rate snapshot or not, it is a lot harder to test so probably not but her other stat does snapshot, while a character like Noelle only snapshot def% on her burst while any additional damage bonus and atk % update in real-time (itto afaik snapshot the atk% on top of def). So yea it is a double edge sword but honestly, I feel like it is more of a blessing in most cases so take advantage of it (oh and yea EM doesn't snapshot anymore, suck but most of the time doesn't matter) edit:c5 vs c6 damage test ua-cam.com/video/9_1u8hgNyh4/v-deo.html
i'm still a awfully new player and just unlocked co-op after who knows how long. and i got xingaling on my very 2nd wish and was overwhelmed by her cuteness and the power i held....
Fellow Child driver team reppresenting! Cannot wait to fill the last spot with Zhongli with his rerun (or Sucrose when she'll drop or Kazuha when he reruns)
I really love running Xiangling with Rosaria, Zhongli & Benny, or Xingqiu instead of Rosaria in an Emblem set and Xiangling in a Crimson set! Also Xiangling/Rosaria/Diona(c6) & Benny is nice so you have shields, healing, extra EM, extra crit and extra ATK% :D Remember that Xingqiu burst does increased damage in Benny burst if you leave him on the field instead of Xiangling
Thanks for the guide Braxophone! I've been saving up for a Ganyu rerun since the Kazuha banner (in which I didn't get Kazuha), so I've been using Xiangling in a national team to progress through abyss. She really is broken, I wouldn't have expected to be able to keep beating abyss with so few meta 5* characters!
thanks for the solid, informative video! i decided to build her on my sub account and was considering how i should go about starting; very timely! wishing you a happy holiday!! :)
Thank you for the guide! This was really helpful. Appreciated the way you broke down the choices for the two artifact sets instead of just blasting "CRIMSON WITCH/EMBLEM SUPREMACY!". 😂 IDK, this just felt very easy to understand! So far this is my favorite guide.
Xiangling was my first character to C6, but she's never really grown on me. I've struggled to find a place for her on my teams because I already have so many strong pyro units that can utilize their whole kit, so burst supports are tougher to squeeze in. She's been competing with many other characters for weapons and artifacts, too. I'm using the new Calamity Queller on Raiden now just so Xiangling can use The Catch. It makes a huge difference.
Personally, I go with the yoimiya mono-pyro team coz it just puts up sooooo many Pyro numbers at once, anything has a hard time surviving. The team consists of Bennett, kazuha, xiangling and yoimiya. It even makes yoimiya's ult proc consistently because of kazuha's ult and xianlging's ult, and kazuha grouping makes its AOE effective
my favorite team with her is with rosaria! cuz i hate needing to auto attack with xingqiu with xiangling so rosaria fills his slot but since rosaria has a weak cryo application (compared to xiangling) but has a no icd on all her skills i made xiangling an effective pyro applier while kazuha boosts their damage and group them up to rosaria burst hehe.. the reverse melts are so satisfying
i actually switched sucrose for heizou in national and im loving it, he has higher personal damage and normal attacks alot to proc xingqui burst. he then builds stacks and one punch man. PR : 123K
As a returning f2p player that has no idea how to play or build teams, I've been hearing/seeing a lot of videos on how amazing Xiangling is but at first it stubbornly didn't use her since I wanted to use the rare 'special' 5-star units that i got. Now though, after struggling to defeat some overworld enemies, I'm starting to think I might have to reevaluate my team... (After not playing for nearly a year, my original team was C1 Beidou as dps, C0 Klee as second DPS, C4 Noelle as healer and C0 Ganyu as a ranged unit. I was almost just exclusively smacking enemies using Beidou as a stick without bothering to even figure out what elemental reactions were. After returning, I pulled Jean nearly twice in a row and decided to swap Noelle with a C1 Jean but still struggled. Now that I know a little more, I'm starting to reevaluate my team and have realized that I have a C4 Xianling *and* a C4 Sucrose just sitting in the box at lvl 20. I'm now considering buying Xiangling's C5 from the shop since it's that kind of month, and now think it's ironic that I used to be annoyed/hate it whenever I saw her come up on a banner.) The video definitely changes the perspective of things as a player who knows literally nothing, definitely very in-depth as well as enlightening.
I do mono-pyro with Klee as a main dps instead of Zhongli as a support… so much burst uptime, and so much pyro abyss mage pain. A balance must be put in place, I guess.
Xiangling and Kaeya's melt is almost unlimited melt. I have her at C6 but i haven't fully built her yet, still stuck at Lvl 70/80 still working on her talents.
My team - Xiangling, Bennett, Zhongli and Kazuha. Rotation especially farming blizzard artifacts - Zhongli e, Bennett q, Xiangling q, e, Kazuha e, q, e, Zhongli q, e - repeat if anything is still alive.
I'm a proud Xiangling main and i love her so much. I love using her with Anemo Traveller/Collei, Rosaria and Sayu/Barbara. I've been farming a lot for Xiangling because she isn't at her best yet ;-;
Crimson witch domain? You mean the Lavawalker domain right/Kap. On a serious note my Rainational team is handily outdamaging my multiple min maxed 5 start dps teams.
ER is the one thing i have no issue with, even without raiden. that stat is attracted to me like no other and i have no idea why. but this makes building powerful characters like xl so easy.
I'm here to try and finally actually build a team old one was beidou(main), xiangling, sucrose, Noelle. Now it's Eula(main), yae, xiangling (brought her back after swapping with Xingqiu), and jean (ar 56 had no healer lol) This guide has helped me cause I've never understood builds. Although only weapon can use is catch r5. Somehow only spear I wished was a 5 star it's blue sky something.
The Crimson Witch domain really is cursed . The amount of Lavawalkers that I got out of that domain is ungodly! Its like 50 pieces of Lavawalker and 5 pieces of Crimson , out of which 2 have good stats and one is usable!
Anyone? My Xiangling is already C6 I've been playing this game for 3 months, and I didn't see her worth in the early game. I just replace him with my C2 Gaming then I realized that was a terrible decision for me. Now I'm using Xiangling, Yelan, Bennett, And Kazuha, I'm sharing this for those who doubt about xiangling. She's so cracked build her.
I got a c6 xiangling from wishing for Ei. Gahd damn she so good. I pair her a lot with Ei. Overload can be a problem but ehhhhhh the damage is just too good.
my xiangling is using r5 the catch plus a solid 4pc eosf and she'll often have 100% burst uptime depending on the number of mobs. I use her on childe team along with bennett and sucrose. one major issue though.. she's still c0. the character event banners that feature her happen to be ones I skip because it doesn't have the 5 star that I need(recently, itto). as for getting her on the current january starglitter shop, still nope. just had enough to finally unlock fischl instead for my eula team since its my main team; and depending on how my zhongli pulls go in the next few weeks, if I don't get any beidou cons then she gets priority in the free liyue 4 star event as well as february starglitter shop since, again, eula team.
FYI: national team has nothing to do with nationality. In Chinese, if someone belongs to the national team in any sport. They are considered the best of best players, leagues ahead of other people.
So I started somewhat recently (2 weeks ago, currently AR 38.) and I was wondering. How exactly would you go about building a team without Bennett, Sucrose, etc. My current main team is Sayu, Xiangling, Kaeya, and I'm on the fence about the last one. I'm currently using Diona because of her shield (no Zhong Li obviously otherwise I'd use him) but I'm considering figuring out someone else. Ideally I'd use Sucrose for grouping utility but that's also kind of out of the question because I don't have her. Are there any options any of you would recommend? I'd list off my options bit I'm afraid I'm at work when writing this and can't exactly check at the moment
XiangLing is almost always tied with Bennett for ER, OR some other battery character (e.g. Raiden and possibly Thoma can help to some extent). This does not even consider the OP buff that Bennett provides to her Pyronado, her main source of damage. So yes, using XiangLing in your team will mean dealing with a lot of energy issues, even if you farm and get The Catch at Inazuma. Another thing is that having XQ for hydro application means a lot more damage via vaporize reactions. Again, you don't seem to have one here unless you didn't mention it (Barbara isn't suited for this and Mona is mainly paired with Ganyu in the Mongana team). Otherwise it's the International team with Childe as the hydro applicant. We have to wait and see how good/bad Yelan turns out as compared to XQ and Childe. Likewise, for XL in a melt team, I think you will still need XQ. tl;dr XL doesn't really work with the members that you mentioned. What other characters do you have? Do note that the above is more about meta geared towards beating the Abyss. You can get away with a less than perfect setup for the rest of the game.
@@Maeda_Toshiie So from Memory excluding the 4 stars that everyone gets (including noelle) I have Ningguang, Qiqi, Jean, Mona, Fischl, Rosaria, Sayu, Diona and I'm fairly sure I have more but those are what come to mind at the moment. My Xiangling and Sayu are ascended to 80 as well, Kaeya and Diona are ascended to 70 and the rest is essentially 50 and below. I'm currently AR 41
@@severosmyst5613 I think with Rosaria as main, 2 possible set ups are possible that can do both superconduct and freeze reactions: 1. Rosaria + Fischl + Mona + Kaeya/Diona (Cryo resonance) 2. Rosaria + Fischl + Mona + Sayu/Jean (Anemo with the VV artifact set and some healing) If you want to use Kaeya as main DPS, then replace Rosaria in the above with Kaeya; it can work too. If you ever get Beidou, she goes very well with Fischl. Otherwise, for pure cryo teams, 2 Cryo (Kaeya/Rosaria/Diona) + 1 healer + 1 anemo. The last two can possibly combine into a single character, which one slot open for another character like Mona (which enables freeze), or Fischl (for superconduct). There are a lot of possible variations given your cast of characters!
@@Maeda_Toshiie Update, I just pulled Ayaka. Im going full freeze now. Team is going to be Jean, Ayaka, Mona, Diona/Rosaria depending on what I need with my second potential abyss team going for superconduct even though Ill be honest Fischl is annoying to use (I have no idea why, something about her just annoys me.)
I have to say I've been using the craftable Crescent Pike vs the Dragon's Bane (I know a lot of other guide makers say use the latter due to the EM, but right now I've got r3 lvl 90 for the Pike vs r5 lvl 80/90 for the Bane. This means 565 Base Attack plus that 34.5 Physical Damage Bonus vs 201 EM and 427 Base Attack. Add the skills to the mix and while the Bane gets a 36% Damage Bonus to Hydro or Pyro affected enemies, the Pike gets at r3 a 30% Damage boost for 5 seconds once you grab an elemental particle or orb, which Guoba is supplying, aside from any Pyro batteries you might be using. As for The Catch, Raiden Shogun is using it, though I only got it to r5 a few weeks ago (I'm in the 50's or so level wise with it). The Deathmatch is with Xiao though it's still low refinement (r2) and level 70/80. I am planning to build up the Dragonspine Spear to higher refinement, but I have to wait on the boss drop. It is 80/90 r3 and with Rosaria. Staff of Homa is with Hu Tao (70/80 r1). Thoma has an r1 Kitain Cross Spear (30/40 for now). I do have some Favonius Lances at r5, but I haven't leveled those up yet. I did have Xiangling using the Black Tassel for a little while (r5, 60/70), but switched that out early on. I am a weapon collector, so there is an r5 Halberd and White Tassel available, but those would need leveled. I do have the Blackcliff Pole at r1, but again leveling would be needed (currently 24/40 as I had Shogun using it before I had The Catch ready to help her). I will agree as priorities go raise the skill and burst first, but while you're at it raise the normal attack too, as that will help with any plunge attacks you may want to do while exploring, aside from raising your attack damage. If you're leaving her out to do damage with the Pyronado along with Guoba, I see no reason not to let her do some normal damage too, depending on your situation in that moment. Right now my Xiangling is on level 74/80 with talents at 8, 10, 10 and c6. As for Artifacts I have a fair set of Crimson Witch on Klee and will eventually farm some for Xiangling, but until then I'm running a Berserker and Gladiator mix (first is 4*, the other is 5*) though the stats are not the best. Still pulled a 36.8 and 81.7 for Critical Rate and Damage, though the pieces are not completely built up. 168.8 is ER with 31.3 Pyro Damage Bonus and again these artifacts are not completely built up yet. I do occassionally pair Klee with Xiangling, Qiqi is the go to healer, though I have a c6 Barbara with some high talents. Bennett still needs work, though ultimate healers are not the best for me with how I do things. Zhongli tends to be in the party a lot, but I am AR 57 so consider what enemies and bosses I'm hunting down. My Traveller is at 84 of 90 and currently Electro, though I have building to do all over before I start big artifact farming (I have done some). Right now I'm working on Weapons, Levels, and Talents which are not so rng dependent. If this helps some of the rest of you great, maybe it'll provide a good idea or two. Bb772 out.
Nah just use homa on her, she outdps hutao by a long shot if invested and why would u use xiao, hes so offmeta and u need a seperate battery just for him
and besides those 1-3k ticks with NA is a huge dps loss compared to 20-40% dmg difference in the catch passive or homas passive 10 -> 12-14k dmg (no reaction) with reaction that multiplier goes even further, Na is a huge dps loss, thats why there are yt vids there explaining everything. But if you cope, then try cope harder lol.
Xiangling was my first main (until i got diluc and eula hehe) but im glad i got her to c6 while pulling for itto and im definitely planning to build her for spiral abyss
Very proud of my F2P 62:144 crit, 195ER 235EM xiangling. Have her on 2 pc crimson witch, 2 pc noblesse & death match. I don’t even care for other pyro pole arms.

So yea it is a double edge sword but honestly, I feel like it is more of a blessing in most cases so take advantage of it (oh and yea EM doesn't snapshot anymore, suck but most of the time doesn't matter)
edit:c5 vs c6 damage test ua-cam.com/video/9_1u8hgNyh4/v-deo.html
i'm still a awfully new player and just unlocked co-op after who knows how long. and i got xingaling on my very 2nd wish and was overwhelmed by her cuteness and the power i held....
Fellow Child driver team reppresenting! Cannot wait to fill the last spot with Zhongli with his rerun (or Sucrose when she'll drop or Kazuha when he reruns)
I really love running Xiangling with Rosaria, Zhongli & Benny, or Xingqiu instead of Rosaria in an Emblem set and Xiangling in a Crimson set! Also Xiangling/Rosaria/Diona(c6) & Benny is nice so you have shields, healing, extra EM, extra crit and extra ATK% :D Remember that Xingqiu burst does increased damage in Benny burst if you leave him on the field instead of Xiangling
Planning to put her w/ ganyu Bennett and zhongli
Im running her with 2 gladiator and 2 shimenawa with godly substasts and she's amazing
When I first met Xiangling in a quest, I had a feeling that she's def one of the best characters in the game.
Bennet, Diona, Xiangling, Ganyu. The crit strike melts are disgusting and I love it
Thanks for the guide Braxophone!
I've been saving up for a Ganyu rerun since the Kazuha banner (in which I didn't get Kazuha), so I've been using Xiangling in a national team to progress through abyss.
She really is broken, I wouldn't have expected to be able to keep beating abyss with so few meta 5* characters!
mhy’s only act of generosity: “hey, i heard you beat spiral abyss floor three. here, take this, you’re gonna need it for the rest of the fucking game”
10:41 I call that team Childe Support...
I agree most "official" team names are kinda meh, that's why I like to come up with my own fun names for them
You deserved the sub, just for your sense of humor
thanks for the solid, informative video! i decided to build her on my sub account and was considering how i should go about starting; very timely! wishing you a happy holiday!! :)
Thank you for the guide! This was really helpful. Appreciated the way you broke down the choices for the two artifact sets instead of just blasting "CRIMSON WITCH/EMBLEM SUPREMACY!". 😂 IDK, this just felt very easy to understand! So far this is my favorite guide.
Xiangling was my first character to C6, but she's never really grown on me. I've struggled to find a place for her on my teams because I already have so many strong pyro units that can utilize their whole kit, so burst supports are tougher to squeeze in. She's been competing with many other characters for weapons and artifacts, too. I'm using the new Calamity Queller on Raiden now just so Xiangling can use The Catch. It makes a huge difference.
Personally, I go with the yoimiya mono-pyro team coz it just puts up sooooo many Pyro numbers at once, anything has a hard time surviving. The team consists of Bennett, kazuha, xiangling and yoimiya. It even makes yoimiya's ult proc consistently because of kazuha's ult and xianlging's ult, and kazuha grouping makes its AOE effective
That’s interesting. I have played lots of mono elements. Except mono pyro. Got try this
Proud xiangling main here 😌 to anyone wondering whether to build her or not, DO IT she is amazing!
I just decided it's time to build my c36 Xiangling
XL, XQ, Zhongli, Bennett got me 8k on the Energy Amplifier event! Xiangling stronk!
Every patch is Xiangling buff. I'm sure when the next polearm for Shenhe gets released, it's going to be best in slot for Xiangling
Thx for this guide. And marry christmas to you and your family.
my favorite team with her is with rosaria! cuz i hate needing to auto attack with xingqiu with xiangling so rosaria fills his slot but since rosaria has a weak cryo application (compared to xiangling) but has a no icd on all her skills i made xiangling an effective pyro applier while kazuha boosts their damage and group them up to rosaria burst hehe.. the reverse melts are so satisfying
Wait because I don’t have Qingqiu do you think Xiangling, Rosaria, bennet and Shenhe would make an ok team for abyss?
@@stella5169 yes! just invest on rosaria since she'll be the one who would probably reverse melt all the time
@@marksantiago8401 thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I don’t have a second team built yet and didn’t know which direction I should go 😩🥰
Brax : Guoba, the most powerful pokemon in Teyvat
Itto with his ushi : Are you sure about that?
What's the strongest elemental reaction in your opinion??
i actually switched sucrose for heizou in national and im loving it, he has higher personal damage and normal attacks alot to proc xingqui burst. he then builds stacks and one punch man. PR : 123K
Same man 🤝🏻
I run Ganyu Diona Xiangling Bennett on the Emblem domain, and Raiden Fischl in the Blizzard domain. Easy sub 40 second clears.
YES I can't wait to talk about melt ganyu soon
C0 Xiangling is already good, C4+ is mind blow, C6 she out dmg C0 5-star pyro characters in some cases
At c3 she can out dmg 5 star pyro dmg characters lol
@xel rush C4 is like a 40% dmg Increase, good luck
c6 actually work for other pyro unit, not her
As a returning f2p player that has no idea how to play or build teams, I've been hearing/seeing a lot of videos on how amazing Xiangling is but at first it stubbornly didn't use her since I wanted to use the rare 'special' 5-star units that i got. Now though, after struggling to defeat some overworld enemies, I'm starting to think I might have to reevaluate my team...
(After not playing for nearly a year, my original team was C1 Beidou as dps, C0 Klee as second DPS, C4 Noelle as healer and C0 Ganyu as a ranged unit. I was almost just exclusively smacking enemies using Beidou as a stick without bothering to even figure out what elemental reactions were. After returning, I pulled Jean nearly twice in a row and decided to swap Noelle with a C1 Jean but still struggled. Now that I know a little more, I'm starting to reevaluate my team and have realized that I have a C4 Xianling *and* a C4 Sucrose just sitting in the box at lvl 20. I'm now considering buying Xiangling's C5 from the shop since it's that kind of month, and now think it's ironic that I used to be annoyed/hate it whenever I saw her come up on a banner.)
The video definitely changes the perspective of things as a player who knows literally nothing, definitely very in-depth as well as enlightening.
People can have their opinions on characters but “Xiangling is bad” is not one, it’s a fact that she’s insane.
🌸🌺I see not why Xiangling would be considered “difficult to build”! She is quite straightforward and simple in my own assessment!🌺🌸
@xel rush New polearm "The Catch" fixes her ER problem. She can also funnel energy from Bennett with his skill.
“It’s like an onion”
Forgets about Tor
I do mono-pyro with Klee as a main dps instead of Zhongli as a support… so much burst uptime, and so much pyro abyss mage pain. A balance must be put in place, I guess.
great guide !!
The favorite content creator that is a Xiangling salesperson must be Tenten xD
I use raiden, xiangling, xinqui, venti/zhongli/sara/bennet. It shreds mobs likr crazy lol
I don't know if my luck in GI is broken or what cause I not only got CWoF in under 300 resins but also got them rolled into crits for my Hutao
Xiangling and Kaeya's melt is almost unlimited melt. I have her at C6 but i haven't fully built her yet, still stuck at Lvl 70/80 still working on her talents.
My team - Xiangling, Bennett, Zhongli and Kazuha. Rotation especially farming blizzard artifacts - Zhongli e, Bennett q, Xiangling q, e, Kazuha e, q, e, Zhongli q, e - repeat if anything is still alive.
I'm a proud Xiangling main and i love her so much. I love using her with Anemo Traveller/Collei, Rosaria and Sayu/Barbara. I've been farming a lot for Xiangling because she isn't at her best yet ;-;
thanks for the upload and merry xmas mate!
On a secondary note, Happy Holidays, Brax!
Unpopular setup: I arm her with crescent pike + 2pc pale flame because i like her poking enemies :)
I am currently starting to build Tartaglia, Xianling, Xingqiu, and Bennet because I hate sucrose 🥰
"All of Xiangling's best teams require Bennett"
Sukokomon modCheck?
Xiangling is insane, i use her in raiden national team
Hey brother thanks for all the info love the video keep up good work. stay safe u and your love ones👍
Crimson witch domain? You mean the Lavawalker domain right/Kap. On a serious note my Rainational team is handily outdamaging my multiple min maxed 5 start dps teams.
its meen months but i still went back here cause i'm strugglih
ER is the one thing i have no issue with, even without raiden. that stat is attracted to me like no other and i have no idea why. but this makes building powerful characters like xl so easy.
The ability to spam your burst 😍
"Honestly, I don't really know if there's an official name for it but team names are stupid anyways." 10:45 - Truer words were never spoken.
I'm here to try and finally actually build a team old one was beidou(main), xiangling, sucrose, Noelle.
Now it's Eula(main), yae, xiangling (brought her back after swapping with Xingqiu), and jean (ar 56 had no healer lol)
This guide has helped me cause I've never understood builds. Although only weapon can use is catch r5. Somehow only spear I wished was a 5 star it's blue sky something.
‼️Xiangling C6 doesn't buff xiangling since her burst snapshots, it only buffs other Pyro units in the party ‼️
I'm very limited. but I use xiangling, Ganyu, Xingqiu, and either rosaria or Qiqi. triple permafreeze melt or vaporize combo.
The Crimson Witch domain really is cursed . The amount of Lavawalkers that I got out of that domain is ungodly! Its like 50 pieces of Lavawalker and 5 pieces of Crimson , out of which 2 have good stats and one is usable!
11:31 my team. And for that floor with anemo bonus use sucrose and u good.
Anyone? My Xiangling is already C6 I've been playing this game for 3 months, and I didn't see her worth in the early game. I just replace him with my C2 Gaming then I realized that was a terrible decision for me.
Now I'm using Xiangling, Yelan, Bennett, And Kazuha, I'm sharing this for those who doubt about xiangling. She's so cracked build her.
Big brain time, she is extremely powerful, she literally owns a God as pet, so who is she? Obviously she is the Pyro Archon XD
I got a c6 xiangling from wishing for Ei. Gahd damn she so good. I pair her a lot with Ei. Overload can be a problem but ehhhhhh the damage is just too good.
I luv Xiangling!
my xiangling is using r5 the catch plus a solid 4pc eosf and she'll often have 100% burst uptime depending on the number of mobs. I use her on childe team along with bennett and sucrose. one major issue though.. she's still c0.
the character event banners that feature her happen to be ones I skip because it doesn't have the 5 star that I need(recently, itto). as for getting her on the current january starglitter shop, still nope. just had enough to finally unlock fischl instead for my eula team since its my main team; and depending on how my zhongli pulls go in the next few weeks, if I don't get any beidou cons then she gets priority in the free liyue 4 star event as well as february starglitter shop since, again, eula team.
ty i really needed this
FYI: national team has nothing to do with nationality. In Chinese, if someone belongs to the national team in any sport. They are considered the best of best players, leagues ahead of other people.
So I started somewhat recently (2 weeks ago, currently AR 38.) and I was wondering. How exactly would you go about building a team without Bennett, Sucrose, etc. My current main team is Sayu, Xiangling, Kaeya, and I'm on the fence about the last one. I'm currently using Diona because of her shield (no Zhong Li obviously otherwise I'd use him) but I'm considering figuring out someone else. Ideally I'd use Sucrose for grouping utility but that's also kind of out of the question because I don't have her. Are there any options any of you would recommend? I'd list off my options bit I'm afraid I'm at work when writing this and can't exactly check at the moment
XiangLing is almost always tied with Bennett for ER, OR some other battery character (e.g. Raiden and possibly Thoma can help to some extent). This does not even consider the OP buff that Bennett provides to her Pyronado, her main source of damage. So yes, using XiangLing in your team will mean dealing with a lot of energy issues, even if you farm and get The Catch at Inazuma. Another thing is that having XQ for hydro application means a lot more damage via vaporize reactions. Again, you don't seem to have one here unless you didn't mention it (Barbara isn't suited for this and Mona is mainly paired with Ganyu in the Mongana team). Otherwise it's the International team with Childe as the hydro applicant. We have to wait and see how good/bad Yelan turns out as compared to XQ and Childe. Likewise, for XL in a melt team, I think you will still need XQ.
tl;dr XL doesn't really work with the members that you mentioned. What other characters do you have?
Do note that the above is more about meta geared towards beating the Abyss. You can get away with a less than perfect setup for the rest of the game.
@@Maeda_Toshiie So from Memory excluding the 4 stars that everyone gets (including noelle) I have Ningguang, Qiqi, Jean, Mona, Fischl, Rosaria, Sayu, Diona and I'm fairly sure I have more but those are what come to mind at the moment.
My Xiangling and Sayu are ascended to 80 as well, Kaeya and Diona are ascended to 70 and the rest is essentially 50 and below. I'm currently AR 41
@@severosmyst5613
I think with Rosaria as main, 2 possible set ups are possible that can do both superconduct and freeze reactions:
1. Rosaria + Fischl + Mona + Kaeya/Diona (Cryo resonance)
2. Rosaria + Fischl + Mona + Sayu/Jean (Anemo with the VV artifact set and some healing)
If you want to use Kaeya as main DPS, then replace Rosaria in the above with Kaeya; it can work too. If you ever get Beidou, she goes very well with Fischl.
Otherwise, for pure cryo teams, 2 Cryo (Kaeya/Rosaria/Diona) + 1 healer + 1 anemo. The last two can possibly combine into a single character, which one slot open for another character like Mona (which enables freeze), or Fischl (for superconduct). There are a lot of possible variations given your cast of characters!
@@Maeda_Toshiie Update, I just pulled Ayaka. Im going full freeze now.
Team is going to be
Jean, Ayaka, Mona, Diona/Rosaria depending on what I need with my second potential abyss team going for superconduct even though Ill be honest Fischl is annoying to use (I have no idea why, something about her just annoys me.)
How do we get bennet?
I have to say I've been using the craftable Crescent Pike vs the Dragon's Bane (I know a lot of other guide makers say use the latter due to the EM, but right now I've got r3 lvl 90 for the Pike vs r5 lvl 80/90 for the Bane. This means 565 Base Attack plus that 34.5 Physical Damage Bonus vs 201 EM and 427 Base Attack. Add the skills to the mix and while the Bane gets a 36% Damage Bonus to Hydro or Pyro affected enemies, the Pike gets at r3 a 30% Damage boost for 5 seconds once you grab an elemental particle or orb, which Guoba is supplying, aside from any Pyro batteries you might be using. As for The Catch, Raiden Shogun is using it, though I only got it to r5 a few weeks ago (I'm in the 50's or so level wise with it). The Deathmatch is with Xiao though it's still low refinement (r2) and level 70/80. I am planning to build up the Dragonspine Spear to higher refinement, but I have to wait on the boss drop. It is 80/90 r3 and with Rosaria. Staff of Homa is with Hu Tao (70/80 r1). Thoma has an r1 Kitain Cross Spear (30/40 for now). I do have some Favonius Lances at r5, but I haven't leveled those up yet. I did have Xiangling using the Black Tassel for a little while (r5, 60/70), but switched that out early on. I am a weapon collector, so there is an r5 Halberd and White Tassel available, but those would need leveled. I do have the Blackcliff Pole at r1, but again leveling would be needed (currently 24/40 as I had Shogun using it before I had The Catch ready to help her).
I will agree as priorities go raise the skill and burst first, but while you're at it raise the normal attack too, as that will help with any plunge attacks you may want to do while exploring, aside from raising your attack damage. If you're leaving her out to do damage with the Pyronado along with Guoba, I see no reason not to let her do some normal damage too, depending on your situation in that moment.
Right now my Xiangling is on level 74/80 with talents at 8, 10, 10 and c6. As for Artifacts I have a fair set of Crimson Witch on Klee and will eventually farm some for Xiangling, but until then I'm running a Berserker and Gladiator mix (first is 4*, the other is 5*) though the stats are not the best. Still pulled a 36.8 and 81.7 for Critical Rate and Damage, though the pieces are not completely built up. 168.8 is ER with 31.3 Pyro Damage Bonus and again these artifacts are not completely built up yet.
I do occassionally pair Klee with Xiangling, Qiqi is the go to healer, though I have a c6 Barbara with some high talents. Bennett still needs work, though ultimate healers are not the best for me with how I do things. Zhongli tends to be in the party a lot, but I am AR 57 so consider what enemies and bosses I'm hunting down. My Traveller is at 84 of 90 and currently Electro, though I have building to do all over before I start big artifact farming (I have done some). Right now I'm working on Weapons, Levels, and Talents which are not so rng dependent.
If this helps some of the rest of you great, maybe it'll provide a good idea or two.
Bb772 out.
Nah just use homa on her, she outdps hutao by a long shot if invested and why would u use xiao, hes so offmeta and u need a seperate battery just for him
and besides those 1-3k ticks with NA is a huge dps loss compared to 20-40% dmg difference in the catch passive or homas passive 10 -> 12-14k dmg (no reaction) with reaction that multiplier goes even further, Na is a huge dps loss, thats why there are yt vids there explaining everything. But if you cope, then try cope harder lol.
Xiangling was my first main (until i got diluc and eula hehe) but im glad i got her to c6 while pulling for itto and im definitely planning to build her for spiral abyss
She's a really good unit
I love xiangling soooo much, I gave her my SoH, (sorry hu tao) for my raiden national.
how do you hit such high damage numbers? my xiangling with bennett and zhongli only hits like 16k on a vape crit with a 4pc emblem r5 catch
Xiangling crimson witch, the catch
Xinqiu magnificent tsuba, sac sword
benny, noblesse, favonius sword
emo nun, full cryo thing, favonius lance
Very proud of my F2P 62:144 crit, 195ER 235EM xiangling. Have her on 2 pc crimson witch, 2 pc noblesse & death match. I don’t even care for other pyro pole arms.
Mihoyo releases another polearm*
Xiangling: 😋🤤😋🤤
1:42 the movements of that mouse got me scared
I don't really like playing xiangling (She's so tedius to use in the overwolrd) but when Genshin gets difficult she's always there:>
Whats the best artifact and weapon for early game?
Mhy : " I've heard that Xiangling is broke, here have some all in one floor of pyro enemy. "
