More information about Xiao in Genshin Impact

Xiao's elemental skill allows the character to quickly move across the battlefield, as well as inflict Anemo-elemental attacks on all enemies that it encounters while moving. It's quite fun: just use the main skill and direct the hero into a cluster of enemies to attack them.

Xiao also has a special Elemental Explosion skill - "Eradication of all evil". When you use it, your hero's jump range increases, and all active attacks start dealing Anemo damage.

All these advantages are backed up by one side effect. While using his skills, Xiao will lose a certain amount of health until the end of the battle.

WEAPON

Xiao's main weapon is a spear . If you have a similar four or five star weapon lying around, you can equip it on a new hero. Here is a list of suitable weapons:

• Jade kite ;
• Celestial axis ;
• star shine ;
• Black?Orsk peak.

How to play Xiao

The character itself is not unique, without its own special skills. To strengthen all attacks, use an elemental explosion and an elemental skill. When activating an elemental explosion, you can defeat a group of strong enemies, and the elemental skill is suitable for dealing damage to several opponents.

Xiao in your squad should become the main hero for whom the whole team works. Therefore, it is better for him to pick up a special squad - favorite support heroes.

Best characters for Xiao

In fact, there can be a variety of unit variations, but if you intend to win in every fight, then you need to take one hero in any case.

Barbara

This character is required in the squad with Xiao due to the decrease in the HP level of this character. As we noted, the first time Elemental Burst is activated, Xiao starts to lose z?? This effect only ends at the end of the battle. You can abandon Barbara and use the standard meals to replenish health. In this case, you need to remember that each hero has a satiety limit. Barbara is great for Xiao's health regeneration.

Genie

This hero can also provide healing and Anemo's elemental resonance. The latter will lead to a decrease in stamina and a decrease in the recharge speed of skills.

Dione

Use this hero for an elemental reaction that will in turn heal your main hero.
