Keep in mind Xiao's best move is his plunge attack. Which can also swirl, so not only does he give extra damage to his support like fischl or whoever he also does more damage on his plunge swirl.
I don't know if I can get him but I already got his best 5star weapon and farm half of his item. My pity pull is 40 and my primogen can pull 25 more and upcoming update free more 20 pull. So 40+25+20=85pull. Can it possible that I can get him?
imagine how cracked he will be when crit damage and attack speed set will be released
That Zhongli buff is looking even more thicc when paired with a 4 piece Viridescent Xiao.
Why would you focus on swirl damage regardless of wether it works or not? Xiao is a main dps and focusing on swirling your supports characters damage seems like a weird way to go at playing a main dps.. gladiator 2 piece with it will make him deal more than depending on swirl from 2 others. Just do 2 glad, 2 verd and an anem cup. give him donglis shield and go ham.
4pc VV could only work if you are consistently doing Swirl. Which you can only really do with someone like Fischl/Xingqiu/Beidou., BUT Swirl in general is not a strong reaction. Also you're only really gonna utilize half the 4pc bonus on Xiao. For the characters I mentioned, enemies aren't going to consistently take dmg from that element. 2pc VV 2pc Glad is a more versatile setup and doesn't force you to play a certain way AND it buffs Xiao himself more. If you want a more equally balanced team where Xiao isn't solo carrying then yeah 4pc VV can work but it'll only work with certain characters as his supports, and Swirl is still not a strong reaction. When you first decide to have Xiao as your main dmg dealer you are basically being okay with not having a team that is focused on reactions.
everyone rolling for xiao: yeah!!!!!!
me: keqing been dodging me on every banner
mihoyo: drops keqing banner
me: pretty sure she'll still dodge me but ill take it
what is this madness
Hey DS, will xiao and albedo be a good pair ?
4 piece viri is support, swirling on elemental enemies like slimes will just be immune (swirl on electro slime = electro resistance reduced but still immune, no benefit for xiao). Xiao is a main dps unless you want to build him as a support then feel free
A better 4 piece set would be gladiator but if u like plunge spam then just go 2 piece viri 2 piece glad
I‘m using 4 piece VV. The additional swirl dmg and decrease of the elemtal resistance will do more dmg than having the 18% atk increase from the Gladiator set i mean bruh 60% is a lot of dmg. But everyone should whatever he/she thinks is the best for him
Wouldnt this only work at the beginning of an encounter, or during ult cooldown? I know his info is not confirmed yet but currently honey says his Ult "cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion" so its just anemo dmg until you swap out and end ult, hence you'll spend more time fighting in his ult than on cooldown, and so this set may net less overall dps imo
Ehhhhhh idk heres why most xiao footage shows he barely swirls like compared to venti or sucrose he swirls rarely he does swirl so u will see some value in the 4p but i think his swirl is inconsistent and ur safer going 2p Glad 2p verdescent but by all means use what set u want just saying his swirl seems inconsistent
Your videos are very good and I enjoy them but it’s Anemo ( ann-uh-mo) sorry lol it irks me when ppl say aneemo lol 😂
Yerp I agree with DS for ult rush built. 4 vv is definitely good. If u r focusing on main dps go for 4 glad. I feel the 2 vv 2 glad is just half2 which is bad where only addition of 15% of anemo damage compare to vv 60% more anemo damage or glad 35% normal att damage.
2 VV and 3 offsets with crazy substat is the most efficient build imo, farming for that 2 Gladiator with good substats takes fcking forever
Hell no! If you wanna swirl damage to hurt more than a tickle, you would have to build elemental mastery. And if you do, you would lose attack damage from the actual plunge attack or any burst infused attack by xiao.
This is again like that “ganyu is only a support at c0” theory craft statement. Capital LOL.
4 Piece Viridescent is not optimal for Xiao 2 Viridescent 2 Glad is the way to go
where to get the viridescent venerer tho xD
Still can't help but feel like 2 Piece Viridescent / 2 Piece Gladiator is the way to go. The only way I would go 4 Piece Viridescent is if Xingqiu was on the team, because Raincutter just has ridiculous Hydro application.
There's alsi the fact that Swirl DMG mostly comes from EM and I don't think going with EM over ATK% or ER is the right call. A lot of the beta testers seem to agree that Xiao desperately needs ER in his artifacts.
Dendro too, it only reacts with pyro
Elemental reactions don’t scale well into the late game excluding melt and vaporize, putting fun and personal preference aside it would probably just be better to go glad and viri.
what would be the best team for xiao?
Maybe Xiao might be decent in breaking abyss mage shields .
why you gotta be so condescending tho
Imo, 2 glad and 2 vv is the best dps set for xiao right now cause it increase overall damage.. but we will wait and see.. hope mihoyo give new anemo artifact set mainly for dps just like childe maybe in the future 🤔
the thing about 4 piece VV is that its damage calculations are purely based on EM. Even assuming that you run a turret support like Fischl and you apply electro aura to everything you're attacking, you'd only be doing minor increased bonus damage instances of Electro in particular. The 60% doesn't boost anything that Xiao is doing: Swirl damage itself is just bonus elemental damage of the element that is infused.
Assuming you are trying to run him as a main DPS, you'd be trying to stack Crit/ATK/Anemo, which means that the damage from elemental reactions will stay the same as they use entirely different modifiers. Swirl damage in general has VERY low scaling so its negligible at endgame unless you are stacking purely EM for reaction damage. This is the reason why Melt/Vaporize is so good because it directly amplifies the attack that causes it which means it factors in ATK/Crit stats, as opposed to Swirl which is just flat bonus damage.
Building Xiao with EM will mean that he's completely reliant on Fischl/Xingqiu to apply aura for him because he'd be hitting like a wet noodle. Not to mention that you'd need to switch off of him everytime their abilities go on CD, and that there's an internal cooldown for applying aura on enemies after Swirl happens. You'd be better off just doing VV+glad or full glad.
No it doesn’t that doesn’t even make sense
The point is that xiao is a very selfish character ( you lose his burst if you switch) so it would be difficult to switch out from him to infuse enemies and for the entirety of his burst, the only exception are for long lasting effects like fischl bird. ALSO, neither beidou's burst or xingqiu's swords trigger off plunge attacks
Honestly 200+ EM for 2k additional dmg isn't worth it. Like u loose out on so much stats for Em subrolls, tho extra damage on supports does sound nice
I'll go 2 pieces viridescent and 2 piece gladiator. As far as I see, this is pretty decent cause it does give anemo dmg bonus + attack % up. Will try out 4 piece viridescent, but i guess i'll be using the 2-2 set
If your ult is up constantly and you have supports like these you will likely pull ahead of the 2p vd and 2p glad combo
Edit: auto correct
xiao is not a support tho … you dont want a support xiao with that build …
even tho xiao can swirl it is the worst build for him because swirl is not that great of a damge specially for a main character xiao is also need a lot of attack% because of how big his base attack (abuse his big base attack for attack% sub stats) also xiao need a energy recharge because he cant regen energy when on his burst … the other 2 stats are crit damage crit rate no brainer there… so as you can see there no room for elemental mastery the only stats that make the swirl damage increase… so even tho xiao can swirl 4 sets vir. is the worst build for him.
No.
Until I see ur video testing him out I'm not thinking about it tbh but I'll still farm some up at least
This is the set I’ll be using for Xiao thanks!
4Viridescent is the best set. Using it on my Main C6 Sucrose. I decided to change my main Childe C1, long E cd is so annoying lol.
Yaksha's Mask
-Greatly increases Xiao's jumping ability
-Increases his attack AoE and attack DMG
-Converts attack DMG into Anemo DMG, which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion
Key words, Which cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion
