How to Play Xiangling

Last updated:

Overview

Xiangling's Pyronado spins off-field after her burst, applying Pyro rapidly. Guoba provides additional Pyro and chili pickup ATK buff. She has high energy cost, pair with Bennett and run high ER. EM increases Vaporize/Melt damage from Pyronado.

How to Play

Cast Guoba, then immediately burst to spawn Pyronado at Guoba's location. Swap off-field, Pyronado persists. Use Bennett to battery her energy. Position Guoba carefully to hit enemies with both Guoba and Pyronado.

Optimal Rotation

Bennett Burst, Xiangling Skill (Guoba), Xiangling Burst, Xingqiu Skill/Burst, swap to driver (Raiden/Childe). Reapply Bennett buff before Pyronado expires. Use Bennett skill particles before Xiangling burst for energy.

F2P Options

The Catch R5 is her best F2P weapon. Emblem set with ER sands is mandatory, 220%+ ER recommended. She's free from Spiral Abyss, every account should build her for National teams.

Common Mistakes

Bursting without Bennett battery causes energy issues. Too little ER means Pyronado downtime. Casting burst before Guoba wastes positioning synergy. Building pure CRIT without EM in Vaporize teams loses significant damage.
