Please do take note that both weapon does not have a 1:2 ratio of crit rate and crit damage which is why there is a bit of stats difference. Hope this helps 🙂

I think Staff of Homa is better for several reasons. First of all, Xiao's ascension stat is crit, and the spear gives 22% crit I think? It's not that much and easily obtainable even without the crit circlet. The 66% cdmg however is massive. I think that is actually easier to build around. Rolling high crit damage substats is very difficult. This weapon straight up replaces the cdmg circlet and lets you focus on getting better crit rate and attack.
I'm positive if you have good crit rate sub stats that homa will do far more with a crit damage head peace. 50% crit rate is all you need in my experience.
So if both builds would get the same crit dmg % and overall stats, the jade spear will hit harder and you dont have to be under 50% hp to fulfill the max potencial of the weapon. Thx for the test, it is the best by far on yt because of the close crit ratio in both builds 🙂
Remember that they have 163 crit dmg with jade and 180 crit dmg with homa but jade still does more dmg. Homa is overhype.
Take note that staff of homa provides more HP, and therefore on hutao it would be almost unrivalled
they both have different cdmg and called this fair comparison kekw
The Homa shall wait for Hutao, then. Seems like not a big enough difference to main Homa on Xaio.
Didnt u lose all his stacks when u subbed to zhont?
Imagine having 5 Star weapons, can't be me 😔
If u use staff of hooma… find artefak focus in Crit rate. If u use Jade spear. Focus in Crit Dammage
This guy made a 3 minute video while others take like 15 minutes to give a demonstration thanks man!
Staff of Homie
Why not test without artifact?
Jade spear better on xiao. Cause he need hp if not die easily.
This is a really interesting comparison. Apart from the base attack difference(Homa would be a little higher) you did a pretty good job balancing weapon stat/artifact stat ratio.
IMO Homa is more consistent(even at 50%+HP) and a lot more versatile for other characters, and considering Xiao does about 10 plunges during ult best case scenario(spamming 2 E before Ult) you'd have Jade full effect active at only 50% of your plunges, while Homa requires no activation/stacking, plus is makes your HP% and flat HP rolls less bad, not to mention if you ARE below 50% it's just flat out better.
P.S:That said, If I had Jade, I would definitely not roll for Homa because overall they will do very similar damage on Xiao(while on characters like Zhongli and ESPECIALLY Hu Tao, Homa will be insane since her playstyle actually requires you to be below 50% all time to get the Pyro Dmg Bonus)
does pjws passive get lost when u swap the wielder out?
I didn't even wish on the weapon banner but still got the jade spear. Looks like staff of Homa is better though if it does the same damage but also give 20% more hp.
wow thanks my dude, staff of homa is just another gimmick passive, skippppp weap banner for sure.
Actually homa is for xiao, its sub stat is really going well with xiao's burst because everytime i use xiao's burst and fight mob, most of the time his hp will be less than 50%.
So stop saying jade is better and stop psychoing ur self and face the truth!!!
Staff of homa seem good with zhongli and jade wing is still the best for xiao
Are the stats skewed slightly toward the staff side, all the damg stats are higher while Jade sprear has a higher base att to begin with.
The difference in damage is very small so at that point it’s just whether you need more crit dmg or crit rate
Staff of homa is the best
When you’re switching zhongli, the jade spear lost the passive dude
I wanted the wolf gravestone and got the staff ☹️
Remember people, Staff of Homa makes Bennett useless, unless you don't care about the less than 50% HP passive Bonus
I'm stuck with skyward spine and dearhmatch
I have both xiao and jade winged spear, personally tho I'll still use jade winged cause I'm broke with primos and I've already leveled it until 90
I think I'll stick Jade Spear bc I've gotten almost 50k crit with it, but that's bc my crit dmg is on 180. Might get more if I get Staff of Homa with the crit dmg boost. But then again, having to be at half health for a glass cannon like Xiao just to get an atk boost is kind of dangerous…
I am white tessel user cry watch this
No purpose at all, I want to know the maximum potential of staff of homa. You make 2 weapon with the identical stats but the weapon passive is different. You limited the potential of staff of homa, which make me more confuse
U lost the jade spears passive when u switched to zhongli. U shoulda shielded first before maxing the jade spears passive. The jade spear deals more damage cuz it adds 12% to the max damage dealt at r1. If u add 12% to 40,373 it should go up to roughly 45.2k. The proof that the jade spears max stacks didn’t activate in your vid is the fact that the activated and unactivated jade spear passive part of your vid dealt the same highest crit damage (40,373). And besides, increased max damage dealt deals more damage than attack bonus. Overall, the jade spear should deal more damage at max stacks. Im not saying thar the other spear is weak, its just that jade spear fit xiao and other dps polearm users that doesn’t scale of hp better i guess.
if it's roughly the same, i'm sticking with jade spear. Two reasons.
1: gacha weapon banners too expensive. If you already have a 5 star spear, just stick with it
2: i'm not a fan of having my health depleted to activate the Homa's weapon passive. The passive on jade spear is a lot safer.
today i spent all my primogems to get staff of homa for xiao, mihoyo gave me wolfs gravestone
that buiild doesnt give a benefit for jade, jade is good spear with crate benefit, of course we can take lot of cdmg in the artefact. Jade can do more damage i think
Jade spear is the best for xiao no matter what
Me using a 4 star f2p spear:
;-;
Wow that’s sucha high atk
A test is missing with a character with 40k hp and not 20k hp
both are good
This video isn't a proper unbiased comparison.
reasons being:
1. OP is clearly altering artifacts which they claim to be doing for it to be unbiased but the substats are part of the weapon. Them altering artifacts to make them look different is messing the balance.
2. Jade spear Has higher base atk and has critrate for substats, Staff of homa has lower base atk and has crit dmg for substats.
3. Despite the above point, OP's Xiao has lower total ATK AND lower Crit Rate while equipping Jade Spear opposed to that of Staff of Homa. Not to mention Crit Dmg is also higher in the case of latter.
Which concludes OP has used artifacts to favour Staff of Homa above Jade spear and thus this comparison video is unreliable.
Also, jade lost it's passive when switched to zhongli for shield.
Just want jade spear because it looks good with Xiao
To be fair you would be using Bennett ult with Xiao’a ult so Jade > Homa. Please compare practically
I luckily got his spear on the standard banner and its my first 5* kinda sad
I'VE GOT THOSE TWO WEAPONS AND NO XIAO EITHER PITY FOR HU TAO MIHOYO WHYYY
I did the math. P Jade W-Spear is better regardless of the fact that its crit value is lower, because it makes up for it with its extremely high base attack.
I would even go as far as to say that Type 48 weapons are better than Type 46 weapons, which are better than Type 44 weapons (when we're comparing 5* weapons with crit secondary stats) if they're using Atk Sands. Not something I expected.
This is because regardless of the fact that despite a Type 48 weapon like Jade Spear having low crit rate, the difference between a Type 48 and a Type 44 in base attack is 115+ (a Type 46 weapon like Homa is right in the middle). Add on top of this, assuming you're rocking an Atk% Sands, the difference becomes even greater. Higher crit values are not necessarily better than base attack. To calculate this yourself, use any DPS calculator and put in the values.
Add on top of this the fact that Jade Spear has a slightly better passive than Staff of Homa, Jade Spear is the best spear for a Main DPS who use Atk Sands (like Xiao).
Of course this story is different if your character scales off of something else. If you scale off of HP, DEF, etc… then you would want a low base attack weapon like a Type 44 weapon with high secondary stats.
In a hypothetical world, Xiao would be best with a Type 48 weapon with crit dmg secondary stat (using a crit rate circlet), for maximum DPS.
And Hu Tao would be best with a Type 44 weapon with crit rate secodary stat (using a crit dmg circlet), for maximum DPS. Neither of those exist in the game.
Here's my opinion on both weapons for Xiao.
1. If you already have the JWS, just stick with since its the best weapon for providing highest overall dps in my opinion.
2. Ideally it's really best to have a critical rate of 60-70 for higher DPS crit ratio which is very easy to achieve with JWS. But just incase you would like to go for some aggressive Crit Damage Build (somewhere like 250critical damage or more with lesser critical rate) then SOH is your weapon of choice.
3. I don't suggest on pulling for SOH if you already have JWS since the comparison is too close. (unless you want to use it for zhongli or hutao)
Lastly, I apologize if there were any misunderstanding with the critical ratio (I really tried my best to make it close but this is as far as my artifact goes) and since the critrate-dmg ratio of JWS and SOH is not 1:2, one of the stats will either go higher or lower.
