This is the trimmed down part of our 1.3 trailer VoD on just our early thoughts on Xiao and how he will very likely be the new strongest individual hyper carry in Genshin Impact. However he also will have issues with being a hyper selfish carry, most likely THE MOST selfish unit in Genshin.
We arenβt saying Xiao will be a bad unit, far from it. His design SCREAMS that heβll be the most important and effective unit to hyperinvest resources into. However due to the hyper selfish nature of Xiaoβs kit, his teams WILL suffer for it. Whether that selfishness stops his teams from being the best in Genshin Impact or not, well weβll just have to see when he comes out and we can test all the Xiao things.
Just remember to keep these potential team issues in mind when he comes out because EVERY CONTENT CREATOR IN GENSHIN WILL BE SCREAMING THAT HEβS OP BECAUSE HIS PERSONAL DPS WILL BE INSANE. And maybe his teams will be insane too, but we wonβt know that until Xiao comes out.

Thanks for checking out the VoD everyone!
Reminder that our thoughts on Xiao are coming only from the info from the Prelaunch CBT as well as what they showcased in the trailer. AND VERY IMPORTANTLY EVERYTHING IS TENTATIVE BECAUSE XIAO HAS NOT RELEASED YET. But based on what we've seen from those 2 sources, he strikes us as the highest PERSONAL DPS ceiling unit in the game with strong hyperselfishness issues that may hurt his teams. This doesn't mean he will be bad, but it also doesn't mean he will be godly. We won't know until he comes out and we can test all the Xiao things and calc his comparative team outputs vs other teams.
But less us know what you think in the comments!
We have discussions like this all the time on the Twitch channel, and Tuner is live right now if you wanna come hang out!

I'm going to run xiao venti qugi and the ice claymore guy
Having two fully built teams idgaf he looks cool
One thing im concerned about is how will he break shields as an anemo character cuz from gameplays ive seen he can barely do damage to it
βYou have to hyper invest in himβ
Me with his lvl 20 artifacts, lvl 90 weapon, surplus of talent books and ascension materials pre-farmed: interesting
Xiao looks flashy, but I have always found that overly mobile characters can be frustrating. Plus I don't really know how his damage is going to work. Is swirl strong enough to compete with melt?
I don't want to be sound rude, but learning how to pronounce ''Xiao'' shouldn't be so hard, just google it, sry couldn't watch the video…
personally i think Xiao is good for people who love to play in Co Op, since he s really selfish
Xiao and Jean (c4 jean for them whales out there) about to be best friends
Honestly, Iβm horrible at switching characters on mobile. So I might consider Xiao because heβs a selfish carry π
Which carry is not considered selfish?
Wait he's Anemo Razor? I already have Razor built sooooo yeh. I'm just gonna save my primos for RESINNNNNNNNNNNN YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
/s
i wondr how long mihoyo is gonna go without fixing the prototype problem
Let's not forget that Xiao drains his HP during his burst. So a healer like bennett, jean or barbara is a must to keep him alive
Iβm going to run xiao, Jean, venti & sucrose. No one can stop me!
came for Xiao trash talk
heard Razor and Noelle trash talk
triggered
hey jinx and tuner,
could you make an in-depth guide about elemental gauges? for example the 3x melt with bennett+congyung or the double melt with bennett+ganyu. and wich character combinations can also be used to achieve this? i tink that this is a very interesting topic π
Nice, but please let your partner talk without you disturbing (5:00). Im sure viewers will appriciate the content regardless who speaks
I find it amazing how so much conversation can come from pausing on one frame lol
Even if you can get his ult back quickly you probably will still need to heal him first before he can ult without dying.
He will be at 100% like zhongli but selfish dps
I think i will run xiao with kaeya barbara and beidou. But my chances for getting xiao is meh…. if i don't get xiao, I hope i get kamisato ayaka at the least.
If he still has double jump he's gonna bust c4 albedo wide open
Getting weird comparisons to Haikyuu… Xiao is the hyper carry like Ushiwaka and Shiratorizawa, while other teams that make use of all 4 party members are like Aoba Johsai and Karasuno π
his c6 is damn good
I really don't get why Mihoyo design characters this way, like it's so unfair that Klee,Razor and Xiao has bursts that just disappears when swapping out, when literally everyone else's Elemental Bursts persists even after switching, how would you like it if Venti's vortex just disappears when he's not on the field,or Ganyu's icicle storm, that's how ridiculous it sounds for these three…..
fishcl and sucrose are pretty much going to be a xiao team staple
I come back to this video every day just for the intro. It's gold in every single way
0:45 timestamp of tuner saying the Japanese newly wed lines
One big point you miss about Razor is that he has sigils with his E that still proc when ulting which can go to 60% without any ER stats. That allow him to get almost or full ult back with kills or reactions from double elektro. I might be missing something important but sigils might changed that hyperselfish comparison with xiou
looks like xiao's e generates 4-3 particles each time
if i get him imma build him support, why?
why not??????
Just had this guy on tectones video tell me this:
"" He spend 2400$ for c6 Ganyu and r5 Amos bow. She is the most broken character in the game and powercreeps everything. She is completly braindead and i am stupid.
I am bad at the game because i stated the truth about her and why she isn't broken or anything. (Ya know i just get 36* on all abyss rotations without any 5* stuff but i guess i still suck -.-)
And said just whale and you will see she is broken and oneshots everything in the game. ""
Yes thats tectones slaves. So i can understand this video so much. Atleast i know not everyone in this community is so…stupid. Thank you Jinx & Tuna.
I hope just like they buffed ganyu Ult cooldown , they make him generate energy in Ult
