Artifact Main Stats

║ Sands : ATK

║ Goblet : Anemo DMG

║ Circlet : CRIT

║ ATK

║ Energy Recharge

Artifact Sets Recommendation

║ 4 set Vermillion Hereafter

║ 2 set Viridescent Venerer / 2 set +18% ATK / 2 set +18% ATK

Attributes Requirement

║ ER

If you have anemo battery like Sucrose, you can aim for 120 - 130% ER

Invest in ATK or Crit is more mandatory

║ Crit Ratio

Same rules applies here, go for 1:2 ratio, 50 : 100 (CR : CDMG) is the safe spot here

But it would be better if you can have higher CR as Xiao's attack is not a fast rapid attack from his plunges

DPS Talent Priority

║ Normal Attack

║ Burst

║ Skill

Xiao can't generate energy particles during his burst, so use Skill > burst > plunge

║ Increases Lemniscatic Wind Cycling's charges by 1.

Constellation 2

║ When in the party and not on the field, Xiao's Energy Recharge is increased by 25%.

Constellation 4

║ When Xiao's HP falls below 50%, he gains a 100% DEF Bonus.

Constellation 6

║ While under the effects of Bane of All Evil, hitting at least 2 opponents with Xiao's Plunging Attack will immediately grant him 1 charge of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, and for the next 1s, he may use Lemniscatic Wind Cycling while ignoring its CD.

C1 and C6 are the one that's quite "game changing" for your Xiao

C1 will definitely help you recharge his energy easier from the spam

As C6 will heavily change the way you use the burst to spam the E skill
