Overview

  • Off-field Pyro damage
  • Reaction enabler

Xiangling is one of the best 4-star characters in the game. Her Elemental Burst, Pyronado, spins around whoever is on the field and keeps hitting enemies with Pyro after she swaps out. Her Elemental Skill places Guoba, who breathes fire for a while and leaves a chili pepper that gives ATK when picked up.

She needs a lot of Energy Recharge, because her burst is most of her damage and it is costly to recharge. Build Energy Recharge until Pyronado is ready every rotation, then crits and Elemental Mastery for Vaporize, Melt or Overloaded teams.

Weapons

Best first. Every polearm on this list links to its page.

  1. "The Catch" ★★★★

    Free from fishing, and you can reach the highest refinement. Energy Recharge plus burst damage and burst CRIT Rate fit her perfectly.

  2. Engulfing Lightning ★★★★★

    Energy Recharge that also turns into ATK. A strong 5-star choice.

  3. Staff of Homa ★★★★★

    Great CRIT DMG and HP to ATK conversion, but you need more Energy Recharge on artifacts.

  4. Dragon's Bane ★★★★

    Lots of Elemental Mastery and bonus damage against enemies affected by Pyro or Hydro. Good for Vaporize teams if your Energy is already high.

  5. Favonius Lance ★★★★

    Its crits generate Energy for the whole team, which helps her and other burst-hungry teammates.

Artifact sets

  1. Emblem of Severed Fate 4-piece

    The standard choice. Energy Recharge from two pieces and a burst damage bonus that grows with it.

  2. Crimson Witch of Flames 4-piece

    Better for Vaporize or Melt when she already has enough Energy Recharge from her weapon.

  3. Emblem of Severed Fate + Crimson Witch of Flames 2-piece each

    Energy Recharge plus Pyro DMG. Good while you farm a four-piece.

Teams

  • International

    Tartaglia applies Hydro for Vaporize, Bennett provides ATK and Energy, and Kazuha groups enemies and buffs Pyro.

  • National

    A classic, easy-to-build team. Xingqiu's Hydro rains down Vaporize, Bennett's ATK buff boosts Pyronado, and Sucrose groups enemies.

  • Raiden National

    Raiden Shogun gives Energy back to the team, which makes it much easier for Xiangling to burst every rotation.

Tips

  • Pyronado keeps the buffs active when you cast it. Use Bennett's burst and any other buffs first, then cast Pyronado.
  • Pick up Guoba's chili pepper for extra ATK before switching away.
  • Swap to her right after Bennett uses his skill, so she is on the field to collect his Energy particles before you cast Pyronado.
  • Her Constellation 4 extends Pyronado, which helps cover longer rotations.

Other character guides recommend Xiangling as a teammate in these teams.
