Note 1: Calamity Queller details are out! With a crazy high Base ATK, ATK% substat, ATK buffing effect, and elemental dmg bonus, it's a contender for Xiao's top polearms. #polearmimpact strikes again.
Note 2: For those wondering about Sayu and Kazuha with Xiao, in a nutshell:
Kazuha – somewhat alright for battery purposes but his kit's much, much better utilized in another elemental/reaction focused team
Sayu – also functional as a battery, but having to enter and exit the skill (just to generate particles) is clunkier than i'd like and she might run into her own ER problems (probably best with Fav Greatsword to solve own ER issues and battery Xiao better)
If you really have no one else as anemo batteries, they can still do the job!
Manifesting that your Xiao comes home early!!!

I just got xiao on my alt when I did my first 10 pull so I’m here
Took me 80 wishes to get him. But 5 to get his weapon.
Pogo stick toilet plunger is the new classic!
Yoo i landed xiao i play since raiden banner landed her too i got her maxed out just grindign for her artifacts and weapon now I got ayaka too dunno what team to create as ive got ayaka xsiao and raiden. thnaks
I just got him and decided to come here. Sorry Kazuha, but Xiao and Venti are my new best friends. And also maybe Zhongli if he gets another rerun.
Pulled for C6 Yanfei, got Xiao instead. So yeay I have a new main DPS to build and he's a fun character to play. Thanks for your guide Sevy!
A question: Since his burst modifies auto-attacks, is 4p glad an option? Since it gives 35% normal atk bonus? Or is "normal atk" different from "auto attack"?
The weapons are a huge bummer I don't have any of the one's you stated I only have prototype starglitter polearm 🥲guess am not pulling for him
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I have been playing for 3 months and ever since i got to use Xiao in his Story Quest i've been saving just for him and now that he's finally getting a rerun i have enough gems still 50/50 but i've prepared for worst cause i really wanna take him home. I have already prepared everything for him Talent ascension, ascension weapon with Deathmatch but i'm gonna pull for his weapon. Like i said i've been preparing for worst even if i lose in weap banner i got Deathmatch. Even though i'm on my 50/50 i have prepared 180 wishes and still counting for him. I REALLY WANT HIM HOME!
u mean u overestimated his height T-T
Pulling for xiao on 2.7, I got 40 wishes to waste haha
Legends are watching this after seeing 2.8 xiao banner leak 😂
Isn't it better to focus on low plunges during Burst? Being able to fit more plunges into his Burst time should be a net increase in damage.
I don't have any of those weapons can Favonius Lance work?
"almost as tall as three Xiao stack…" xD LMAO Very nice guide. Xaio is one of my top favourites. But I don't like his best teams… I don't have/I'm not interested in those characters… Ehhh…
i am so tired of farming VV parts that i will build Xiao with whatever 2+2 of +18% atk i can assemble and an aenemo goblet.
Can you plzz make a vid on jean build for xiao 2 anemo 2 Geo team?
Accidentally C1 Xiao 13 pity
You're guide is super helpful! But i still have a question:
Is an R5 White Tassel or a R0 Skyward Spine better? I used both and the skyward spine did less damage but that's because i still didn't spent my resources on it since i don't have anyone i actually use to give it to except for Xiao
I run Xiao with ZhongBedo + Kokomi. Zhong for shielding, Albedo for off field bloom damage + energy battery (i dont have other decently built anemo) + kokomi as a healer-subdps.
My xiaos build is lvl 90 r4 Halbered with a 2 piece VV set with nice stats, and 10/10/10.
AND HE STILL DOES LIKE 28K PLUNGE WHAT AM I DOING WRONG cry
Nobody talks about royal spear 🙁 but it's better than blackcliff
whats your xiao build?
me who already mains xiao: mmmmm yes very interesting
It's time to "Xiao" you… I see what u did there 😂👀
So the 'the catch' should not be used for Xiao? Oh man, I have Homa and Skywared Spine but I'm using the catch because I thought it'll boost Xiao's ult. Thanks for this guide, Xiao is my very first 5 star, got him on last year on his first banner and since getting the catch, I've been using it on him which is a big mistake hahahaha.
Can you use Ei with Xiao?
Would raiden and xiao work well together?
Is it good if we use gladiator x4 pieces??
Deathmatch crit rate stat is OP for 4 star, even 5 star crit rate circlet max at 31.1% while Lv.80 Deathmatch is 33.5% and 36.8% at Lv.90. (+5.7% against 5 star)
For comparison Blackcliff max crit dmg only at 55.1% while 5 star Crit DMG circlet max stat at 62.2%. (-7.1% against 5 star)
I think that they need to increase 5 star circlet crit rate, maybe at 38-41%..
I'd skip my C0 Xiao for a Ganyu since its been a year since her re-run after Kazuha's rerun I will save for Xiao Re-run until I C6 him.
Dont worry, his artifact set is coming!!!!🤩🔥
Fischl for support or sub dps?
these vids are always my favorite, i love the chill approach, still so informational tho
When you got xiao from 2 pulls and won 50/50
i have both skyward spine and blackcliff ;3; which one is better?
is xiao, jean, fischl, and bennet an okay team?
I do have to ask if we can use YunJin with Xiao? Her passive and skill effects might work well him.
Still testing with my Xiao but I wanted to hear your opinion on it :' )
Running him with a team of: Xiao, Jean (no cons because broke), Yun Jin (C2) and Zhongli (no cons either). As my trial experiment.
My usual comps for exploration and what not is just: Xiao, Venti, Xingqiu or Benny and Zhongli
For burst dmg I tried figuring out with that using Yanfei as substitue for Venti (but i didnt know what catalyst to use her with so i ended up using widsth(?))(thinking about it now should've went with thrilling dragons but oof—) paired with benny for pyro resonance.
Idk, I have many things to consider but i'm just optimizing how to work him plus he's fun to play with hahaha
