Dude nice run, i also have a top 1% Xiao, im trying to get her signature and was planning to do this exact same video XD. About fkn time we Xiao mains rise up.
I don't even care that much about the bigger numbers, getting rid of the circle impact is what made me like Xianyun's kit so much. She really is a blessing! 🙏
@@ASRs7N10 This one for sure, I believe. Lower energy requirements, no circle impact, the damage potential is also a little higher in AoE and much much much higher in single-target. This team makes Xiao a much more complete and consistent DPS.
I can't wait for you to activate your C2 Xianyun! This team is already amazing, and Xiao deals huge damage, but it's going to be even more insane. P.S. I'm stuck on C5 Faruzan and I can't pull anymore, so now I'm going to wait for Wanderer to rerun 🥲.
It will still take a while to activate her C2. There are still a lot of things I want to try with this team on a more "F2P Friendly" level. I think I'll wait to activate it when I get Furina's C2 (hopefully in version 4.6). It would also be a good opportunity to make a video comparing the upgrade given by each of these constellations.
It will be huge ,my faruzan is c4 ,furina is also c0 but for this team with favonius - just in case ,no nobelesse or tenacity on the same team , xiao is ok i guess,but not even close to yours - but lucked out on getting c2 Xianyun - 2+2 attack sets ,4400 attack before c2 passive and skyward atlas - i saw 176 k plunges in abyss
The fact that my Xiao and his team has better stats than this and still struggling in the abyss with this exact same team is nothing more than skill issue on my end... 😭 I learned a lot from you. Thank you very much!
You won't regret getting her! And I'm not even talking about the damage increase. She makes this team much more comfortable with her high energy generation and Burst that follows you around.
Marechaussee is also great if you don't want to spend resin in the Vermillion domain, you could even throw your bad pieces in the Vermillion strongbox and farm both at the same time. The only problem with Marechaussee is that with crit rate weapons, it's very difficult to get a build with high crit value without wasting substats by overcaping crit rate.
You won't regret it if you do. She makes this team not only stronger, but also much more comfortable. Not to mention that because her buff shines in single-target and Xiao is an AoE monster, this team feels very complete and consistent. Whether it's AoE or single-target, this team will get the job done.
your Xiao is so cool! I wanna build this exact team i got only 2 faruzan in my pulls so she's C5 , I'm so close but so far at the same time, I already got xianyun and I wanna save for furina so Im scared to keep pulling tbh
C6 Faruzan is really game changing for Xiao, but Furina is game changing for... half of the characters in the game, including Xiao. If this would risk losing Furina, then I would recommend you stop pulling. Faruzan is a 4 star, continuing to pull would not guarantee her C6. On the other hand, being a 4 star, you can end up getting C6 at any time on any banner. Btw, Wanderer's last rerun was back in 3.8, the next one shouldn't take long. Let's hope his next banner is paired with another interesting 5-star to have Faruzan with both. 🙏
In a recent video titled "Yaksha Cup" I compared 4 Xiao teams, including this Bennett variation, in the top half of the current abyss 12 (before the blessing that buffs plunges). The difference is considerable, but it's not that the Bennett variation is bad, it's still a great team. It's just that the Furina variation is really impressive, to the point where some theorycrafters like TGS are comparing it to Neuvillette teams.
This is insane! Thanks for video! And... I have a guaranteed 5* character on a limited banner, and I was saving this guaranteed to get Xiao, because there's his banner soon, but I see everywhere how Xianyun is really good, op, broken etc(for Xiao as well) and it makes me wanna pull for her. But then I'm not sure if I will be able to ro get Xiao, because there's always a possibility of losing 50/50(and I'm f2p). It's so hard. Maybe I have to get her on her reran next time...
Xianyun has just released, her first rerun shouldn't take long. But Xiao's next rerun will probably take another year. The best way to ensure you have both as soon as possible would be to get Xiao now and wait for Xianyun's rerun.
Yes, definitely. Xianyun's signature weapon is great, but it's not that game changing for Xiao, since on this team she can use TTDS without worrying about energy issues. Her C2 is a much bigger upgrade. I only pulled for her weapon because I got her C2 very very early (but I won't activate it anytime soon).
Low or high pludnge? Whihc is better for aoe? Also which is better for single target? Also i noticed you went for collisions a lot, so is low or high plundge better for collisons?
High Plunge vs Low Plunge is a topic I intend to make an entire video talking about. The ideal plunge height depends on many factors, such as the number, size and shape of the enemies' hitbox. In a very simplified way: In single-target, high plunges + collision damage is Xiao's highest DPS combo, but against enemies with a smaller hitbox, you need to use low plunges to be able to deal collision damage. As for AoE, high plunges are usually better, as they have greater total damage distributed. But against waves that have a small but very tanky enemy among many weaker enemies, it's better to use low plunges right next to the tanky enemy. This way, you'll be dealing max damage to the tanky enemy with collisions, and the weaker enemies will die from the AoE of the damage you are dealing to the tanky one.
Damnn , that was good , tonight i will single pull 3 time 😅(not intentional) but i have am in 72 pity so hoping i will get xianyun in this 3 pulls and also will keep pulling for faruzan rn she is.. c4 so hope i get her ✌️
I believe C2 is the point at which Faruzan becomes irreplaceable on Xiao's Hypercarry teams. The energy requirements will be higher, but it will still be worth it. Xianyun being Anemo and generating 5 particles with her skill also helps.
@@torototsupreme2346 If some other support is already using Noblesse, I recommend equipping Faruzan with Viridescent (Hydro res shred for Furina), but Emblem works too. If no other support is using Noblesse, then you should use it on Faruzan. And once you get her C6, her best set will be Tenacity.
This run is amazing I am trying to do the same but sadly i have neither furina nor xianyun's weapon Using bennet is bad her because of the multi waves and low duration buff compared to furina's Rn I'm saving for c6 xiao and afterwards I'll try to aim for c 2 furina
Actually, there are two reasons why it's better to start with Faruzan: 1- To give the Favonius particles to Furina, who has the highest energy requirement in the team. 2- C6 Faruzan's burst lasts 18s just like Furina's, but the effect lasts 4s after each proc, making her buff last for 22s. If I do Furina -> Faruzan -> Xianyun -> Xiao, Furina's buff will end a little before Xiao's burst ends. But if I do Faruzan -> Furina -> Xianyun -> Xiao, all the buffs will cover the entire duration of Xiao's burst.
I was just about to ask if starting with Faruzan or Furina makes a difference. Love the video. I’m kind of jealous because I have C2 Xianyun and C6 Faruzan and still can’t do this in 1 rotation like you
Congratulations on the team and greetings of a Main Xiao. One question, do you happen to think about changing Xianyun's set for 4VV to improve the damage of furina?
I used a damage calculator to find out which set would be best for Xianyun on this team. Noblesse ended up being better, but VV could be better if my Furina was C2, since her C2 increases her own damage by about 60%
@@achmadjafarshodiqshahab2846 In single-target, both should be comparable enough to justify using the set you have with better stats (mainly higher Atk). In AoE however, Song of Days Past loses a lot of its value because of the faster consumption of its trigger quota, while Noblesse Oblige has no such limitation. All things considered, Noblesse Oblige is her best set for this team. But if you're using a team with another Noblesse holder (like Bennett), you'll want to use Song of Days Past on her, as we can't stack the effects of 2 Noblesse sets.
The Marechaussee set is almost as good as Vermillion for Xiao. The only problem is not to overcap crit rate when using crit rate weapons. But if that's not your case, you can farm Marechaussee for both at the same time.
I asked a friend of mine who had Xiao and if he’s pulling Xianyun or not. Maybe because he’s F2P, I took his answer for C2 pyro archon as a no. Then I elaborate I thought he might pulled her for Xiao. The audacity him saying “Xiao? Who uses her with Xiao, Its better with Hutao or Diluc” I know people had their own opinion and I respect that, but as a fellow Xiao user, the disrespect he has to my boy is crazy 😤😤. This video makes me feel better that SHE INDEED HELPED XIAO (especially in single target) and I will try to do the same as you to prove our Lament deserves the love Xianyun provide 😤😤
Xiao is one of the most underrated characters in the game because in many people's minds, he is still the same character he was a year ago when there was no Furina and Faruzan constellations were very rare. Xianyun is also a lot better with him than people think because she does a lot more than just increase his damage. Being a great Anemo battery, having a Burst that follows you around and giving a buff that shines in single-target makes Xiao a much more complete and consistent DPS than he was before. About Xianyun with Hu Tao, Diluc and Gaming... the problem is that Furina/Yelan/Xingqiu's Hydro application is very single-target oriented. This makes these Pyro DPS, despite being amazing in single-target, much worse in AoE, as their plunges won't vaporize on all enemies hit. Xiao on the other hand has always been one of the best AoE DPS in the game, and now with Xianyun he's amazing in single-target as well.
That's funny, this only makes me want to pull for xianyun more, but I really should save for neuvillete rerun, but I also want to do 140k plunges, although with my c4 jean I can do around 100 and something with farazun c6 and furina which I have at c1, but I could also just wait till her rerun, unless natlan has a bunch of crazy characters like fontaine, our xiaos are a bit similar, although I do reach 100% crit with around 186 crit damage and 126 ER, im not using xiao's best set, just a combination of 2 atk pieces, but im being lucky and unlucky since I got jade spear at r3, I wanna see much I can get from xianyun plunge buffs.
Although my build is considerably above average, some builds are definitely better than mine for this. Take a look at this Xiao build leaderboard: akasha.cv/leaderboards/1000002600
7 months farming the Vermillion domain to get a Vermillion set better than my old 2pc 2pc build + 5 months upgrading it to the build I used in this video. And then I stopped farming the Vermillion domain because of how terrible it is (but I'm still getting Vermillion pieces from the strongbox)
@@Rafos wow I will do it for my Ayato for 100CR 200CDMG 2k ATK and 130ER but i think that will take something liké 4 years to have a insane build liké that 💀
Got C6 Faruzan trying to get CR, Im now at 61 pitty after losing my 50/50 at 70. If I get her, and Xiao I can make this team, I also have Xiao sig. But Im out of wishes and the 4* on Xiao banner sucks. 😢
There's a recent video on my channel titled "Support Showdown" where I compare C5 Faruzan vs C6 Faruzan. I recommend checking it out, as there is almost no real difference between C3 and C5 Faruzan. Even though Faruzan's C6 is still a big deal, the Xianyun + Furina core is already so much better than Xiao's old teams that playing without C6 Faruzan is no longer nearly as painful as it used to be.
no, I meant between C3 and C5, meaning that your C3 Faruzan would be almost equal to the C5 I used in that video. Her C4 is kinda useless and C5 is only +3 Burst levels, doesn't do much. Faruzan's C2 and C6 are amazing, but her other cons are kinda useless (unless you're using some DPS Faruzan meme teams).
Yes, this ER really is overkill. 😅 It's my first run with C6 Faruzan and I forgot how much lower her C6 energy requirements are when I made this build. I'll try to get more offensive stats for her later.
Gaming can be really strong, and I understand all the hype around him, but I wouldn't say he's "the best plunge carry". In single-target (assuming both with Xianyun) Hu Tao can be a little stronger than C6 Gaming. Also, Furina/Yelan/Xingqiu's Hydro application is very single-target oriented, so even if you hit multiple enemies with your Pyro plunges, you won't be able to vaporize on all of them. Xiao on the other hand, doesn't rely on reactions, which makes him much better than both in AoE. That being said, unlike Hu Tao and Gaming, Xiao doesn't have good F2P weapons. If you don't have any Crit spear nor intention of getting one, Xiao can be a bit underwhelming. But at the end of the day, the abyss is still relatively easy to clear with any character, so there's no need to worry about it when pulling for characters you really like.
Bennett would provide the most damage potential, but Zhongli and Yelan are also great options if you don't want to have to play inside Bennett's burst.
Can you try removing furina . I want to see his damage without furina. Try use benette instead . I want to see if my acc is bad or my xiao is just bad without furina lol
If you want to check, this is the leaderboards website: akasha.cv But yeah, C6 Faruzan is game changing for Xiao. This is my first run with her C6 and the upgrade is very noticeable.
Vermillion and Marechaussee are so similar that the best set will be the one with the best stats. The only problem is that Xiao has Crit Rate ascension and Xianyun's A1 buffs Crit Rate, so when we're using Crit Rate weapons, it's extremely difficult to make a Marechaussee build with high crit value without wasting substats by overcaping Crit Rate. On top of that, when we look at crit weapons of the same investment level, the Crit Rate ones usually have a better passive for him. For 4-star crit weapons: Deathmatch has an unconditionally useful passive, while Blackcliff's passive is literally useless against bosses. For 5-star crit weapons: PJWS only gives him useful stats and is very easy to stack. Homa on the other hand, not only does part of the passive buff HP (useless for Xiao), but also part of the passive requires you to be below 50% HP, which is impractical with healers like Xianyun, Bennett or Jean. Still, PJWS + Vermillion and Homa + Marechaussee are very very close in performance.
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz with Marechaussee, yes. But with Vermillion, not really. Blackcliff's passive only works from the second wave onwards, and is literally useless against bosses. In single-target, Deathmatch is 10% stronger. In AoE, Deathmatch is 7% stronger during the first wave, and only from the second wave onwards Blackcliff is 3~8% stronger. The theorycrafters at r/XiaoMains did the math if you want to check it out: sites.google.com/view/xiaomains/main-guide/weapons
@@Rafos blackcliff can have ratios of 75/250 on xiao wgile deathmatch caps at 80/220, and not to mention blackcliff has higher base atk than deathmatch so regardless of stacks its just better
@@jinsoulsblondehair5966 Actually, Xianyun's release makes Favonius vs Elegy depend on a few factors. Before Xianyun, yes, Favonius was Faruzan's undisputed best weapon. Elegy's buff was definitely not as valuable as the extra energy. But now that we've swapped Bennett for Xianyun, this team's energy requirements are much lower. Additionally, Elegy's Atk buff is teamwide, which wasn't important before but is now useful as Xianyun's A4 buff scales with her Atk. That being said, Favonius is still extremely useful, giving a level of comfort and consistency that no other weapon provides. These are the things that would give Favonius the edge: - Non-C6 Faruzan (she is unplayable without Favonius) - Low investment Xiao (needs more rotations to clear) - Gimmicky bosses that can mess up your rotations And these are the things that favor Elegy a lot: - C2 Xianyun (assuming you're not reaching the 4500 atk cap) - Favonius on Furina (her best F2P weapon for those who didn't get Festering Desire)
Waaay better. I recently made a video using Xiao's 4 most popular teams in the top half of this current abyss 12 and comparing the clear times. Xiao/Faruzan/Furina/Xianyun got first place. Xiao/Faruzan/Zhongli/Bennett was fourth.
Thanks! In my honest opinion, Xianyun is VERY worth it for Xiao havers for two main reasons: 1- Xiao has always been one of the best AoE DPS, but he didn't stand out as much in single-target. As Xianyun's buff is stronger in single-target, Xiao ends up being very strong in single-target as well, becoming a much more complete and consistent DPS. 2- Bennett's buff is incredible, but the condition of having to play within his circle is terrible against multiwave chambers or more agile enemies. Jean doesn't have this problem and is a great healer/battery, but nothing in her own kit increases Xiao's damage (except her C4). Xianyun's kit combines the best of both.
@@Rafos i see. Clear explanation! Btw do you know how much dmg difference between 2pc atk%/2pc viridescent and 4pc vermilion? I don't think I can afford to farm vermilion now that my build ratio is perfect(235cd/85cr). Do you it's worth wasting time and resin farming vermilion if you were in my place?
I suggest just use strongbox to get vermilion,dont farm the domain cuz its not worth it.i got 4 piece verrmilion on strongbox with decent piece.@@ryukickdo2652
@@ryukickdo2652 Vermillion is about 5~10% stronger than 2pc combos, it's a decent upgrade if we assume similar stats. The problem with Vermillion is that its domain is terrible, a waste of resin, and I wouldn't recommend anyone farming there now that Vermillion is in the artifact strongbox. Now we also have the Marechaussee set. Almost as good as Vermillion, while being waaay more resin efficient. The only problem with this set is that it is very difficult to balance your crits if you're using Crit Rate weapons. All things considered, if you want an upgrade for your Xiao's build, this is what I recommend: Farm the Marechaussee domain and throw the bad artifacts into the strongbox for Vermillion. This way, you will be farming Xiao's 2 best sets simultaneously, using your resin in a domain that is great for many characters.
Her C6 makes her burst apply Pressurized Collapse off-field. This counts as Skill DMG, meaning it provides 100% uptime of the Tenacity effect. This 20% Atk buff is not only good for Xiao, but for Xianyun as well, increasing her A4 buff.
See for yourself then: akasha.cv/profile/601311859 Search for Xiao in the filter. I have 10 builds there, all Top 1%. Also keep in mind that this run was recorded before the new abyss blessing that buffs plunge dmg by a ridiculous amount, and both Furina and Xianyun are C0. With the new blessing and Homa builds, I can also reach such high numbers, but the Avg AoE DPS would be lower.
(Edit: this run was recorded before the new abyss blessing that gives a 60% plunge dmg buff. I'm considering doing a "Round 2" with the new blessing)
Every single chamber cleared in a single rotation (except for Wenut that has 90% Anemo resistance).
I never thought I could do something like this without any 5-star constellation/refinement. But on the other hand, missing crits in 3 plunges against the Aeonblight with 92% Crit Rate hurt my soul. 💀

Hi! This is the leaderboards website: akasha.cv
great runs may I ask though how much damage can you do with Bennett instead of Furina?

The difference is considerable, but it's not that the Bennett variation is bad, it's still a great team. It's just that the Furina variation is really impressive, to the point where some theorycrafters like TGS are comparing it to Neuvillette teams.

Its time for our xiao to shine 😎
Is Xianyun still amazing C0 without her signature weapon? Amazing gameplay bro, I have a Xiao in the 1% of C0 Xiao mains too haha. Xiao mains forever.
Yes, definitely. Xianyun's signature weapon is great, but it's not that game changing for Xiao, since on this team she can use TTDS without worrying about energy issues.
Her C2 is a much bigger upgrade. I only pulled for her weapon because I got her C2 very very early (but I won't activate it anytime soon).
@@Rafos ohh okay grats!!
, her sig vs bis 4 star(event weap) is about 10k per plunge on xiao not including collision plunges dont know if those get buffed by her sig tho.
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz Okay thanks. I'll just use Thrilling Tales.
@@speedrunner3312 skyward atlas/ high base atk weap > ttds unless its aoe content
Low or high pludnge? Whihc is better for aoe? Also which is better for single target? Also i noticed you went for collisions a lot, so is low or high plundge better for collisons?
High Plunge vs Low Plunge is a topic I intend to make an entire video talking about. The ideal plunge height depends on many factors, such as the number, size and shape of the enemies' hitbox.
In a very simplified way:
In single-target, high plunges + collision damage is Xiao's highest DPS combo, but against enemies with a smaller hitbox, you need to use low plunges to be able to deal collision damage. As for AoE, high plunges are usually better, as they have greater total damage distributed. But against waves that have a small but very tanky enemy among many weaker enemies, it's better to use low plunges right next to the tanky enemy. This way, you'll be dealing max damage to the tanky enemy with collisions, and the weaker enemies will die from the AoE of the damage you are dealing to the tanky one.
@@Rafos okay thanks a lot. I think I understand somethings but that video your planning on will be much appreciated, can't wait 😄
a good quality and well edited video on my shitty platform? +1 sub
but fr tho, nice video, lamenting rn
I just need that pjws for that juicy 93/200 ratio but hoyoverse says no
Immediately starting off with Sonic Frontiers OST.
S u b b e d.
Wait...I already was. Oops.
Sonic games have some of the best OSTs ever 👌
Omg that's so amazing, I hope to get Xiao so I can main him like this 😊
Damnn , that was good , tonight i will single pull 3 time 😅(not intentional) but i have am in 72 pity so hoping i will get xianyun in this 3 pulls and also will keep pulling for faruzan rn she is.. c4 so hope i get her ✌️
Good luck with your pulls!
Congratulations on your c6 faruzan
If only I had that jade spear I still till this day haven't got it from permanent banner
Can anyone tell me how to see if my characters are top 1% or any percent? Do i have to download any app?
Btw, great video!
No need to download anything, just check this website: akasha.cv
@@Rafos thanks ❤️
U are the best xiao main 😭. Anywag wanna rent coz i've been farm vermilion for a thousand years and lose over MH that ive been farm only like 3 patch
Is a non c6 faruzan worth it? Will a c2 faruzan improve my team? We have the same team but im using c6 bennet instead.
I believe C2 is the point at which Faruzan becomes irreplaceable on Xiao's Hypercarry teams. The energy requirements will be higher, but it will still be worth it. Xianyun being Anemo and generating 5 particles with her skill also helps.
@@Rafosthanks a lot lastly what set should i use on my faruzan noblesee or emblem set for added er
@@torototsupreme2346 If some other support is already using Noblesse, I recommend equipping Faruzan with Viridescent (Hydro res shred for Furina), but Emblem works too. If no other support is using Noblesse, then you should use it on Faruzan.
And once you get her C6, her best set will be Tenacity.
This run is amazing
I am trying to do the same but sadly i have neither furina nor xianyun's weapon
Using bennet is bad her because of the multi waves and low duration buff compared to furina's
Rn I'm saving for c6 xiao and afterwards I'll try to aim for c 2 furina
I think you should start the rotation with furina
Actually, there are two reasons why it's better to start with Faruzan:
1- To give the Favonius particles to Furina, who has the highest energy requirement in the team.
2- C6 Faruzan's burst lasts 18s just like Furina's, but the effect lasts 4s after each proc, making her buff last for 22s. If I do Furina -> Faruzan -> Xianyun -> Xiao, Furina's buff will end a little before Xiao's burst ends. But if I do Faruzan -> Furina -> Xianyun -> Xiao, all the buffs will cover the entire duration of Xiao's burst.
@@Rafos Oh, I forgot you had c6 faruzan
@@alatusedits I just got her C6 from Xianyun's banner 🙏
I was just about to ask if starting with Faruzan or Furina makes a difference. Love the video. I’m kind of jealous because I have C2 Xianyun and C6 Faruzan and still can’t do this in 1 rotation like you
Congratulations on the team and greetings of a Main Xiao. One question, do you happen to think about changing Xianyun's set for 4VV to improve the damage of furina?
4vv wouldnt buff xiao
I used a damage calculator to find out which set would be best for Xianyun on this team. Noblesse ended up being better, but VV could be better if my Furina was C2, since her C2 increases her own damage by about 60%
@@Rafosoh really? please could you help me to calculate which one is the best artifact for xianyun, Song of Day Past or Noblesse Oblige?
@@achmadjafarshodiqshahab2846 In single-target, both should be comparable enough to justify using the set you have with better stats (mainly higher Atk). In AoE however, Song of Days Past loses a lot of its value because of the faster consumption of its trigger quota, while Noblesse Oblige has no such limitation.
All things considered, Noblesse Oblige is her best set for this team. But if you're using a team with another Noblesse holder (like Bennett), you'll want to use Song of Days Past on her, as we can't stack the effects of 2 Noblesse sets.
I want my xiao to get stronger but im still hesitating to farm for vermillion sets or not because im still farming for neuvillette right now
The Marechaussee set is almost as good as Vermillion for Xiao. The only problem is not to overcap crit rate when using crit rate weapons. But if that's not your case, you can farm Marechaussee for both at the same time.
nice vid, if I could I'd transfer my randomly dropped r5 pjws to u
Thanks!
clean af
Wut r the cons of Faruzan? Btw great clear❤❤
Thanks! I'm using C6 Faruzan. Finally got her C6 from Xianyun's banner.
@@Rafos O congrats keep up with the great abyss runs ❤️
Xiao lore wise
I asked a friend of mine who had Xiao and if he’s pulling Xianyun or not. Maybe because he’s F2P, I took his answer for C2 pyro archon as a no. Then I elaborate I thought he might pulled her for Xiao. The audacity him saying “Xiao? Who uses her with Xiao, Its better with Hutao or Diluc”
I know people had their own opinion and I respect that, but as a fellow Xiao user, the disrespect he has to my boy is crazy 😤😤.
This video makes me feel better that SHE INDEED HELPED XIAO (especially in single target) and I will try to do the same as you to prove our Lament deserves the love Xianyun provide 😤😤
Xiao is one of the most underrated characters in the game because in many people's minds, he is still the same character he was a year ago when there was no Furina and Faruzan constellations were very rare.
Xianyun is also a lot better with him than people think because she does a lot more than just increase his damage. Being a great Anemo battery, having a Burst that follows you around and giving a buff that shines in single-target makes Xiao a much more complete and consistent DPS than he was before.
About Xianyun with Hu Tao, Diluc and Gaming... the problem is that Furina/Yelan/Xingqiu's Hydro application is very single-target oriented. This makes these Pyro DPS, despite being amazing in single-target, much worse in AoE, as their plunges won't vaporize on all enemies hit. Xiao on the other hand has always been one of the best AoE DPS in the game, and now with Xianyun he's amazing in single-target as well.
That's funny, this only makes me want to pull for xianyun more, but I really should save for neuvillete rerun, but I also want to do 140k plunges, although with my c4 jean I can do around 100 and something with farazun c6 and furina which I have at c1, but I could also just wait till her rerun, unless natlan has a bunch of crazy characters like fontaine, our xiaos are a bit similar, although I do reach 100% crit with around 186 crit damage and 126 ER, im not using xiao's best set, just a combination of 2 atk pieces, but im being lucky and unlucky since I got jade spear at r3, I wanna see much I can get from xianyun plunge buffs.
Can I take your build as the most optimal stat distribution for Xiao with his peak team rn?
Although my build is considerably above average, some builds are definitely better than mine for this.
Take a look at this Xiao build leaderboard:
akasha.cv/leaderboards/1000002600
how many time does you take for farm this insane set ?
7 months farming the Vermillion domain to get a Vermillion set better than my old 2pc 2pc build + 5 months upgrading it to the build I used in this video. And then I stopped farming the Vermillion domain because of how terrible it is (but I'm still getting Vermillion pieces from the strongbox)
@@Rafos wow I will do it for my Ayato for 100CR 200CDMG 2k ATK and 130ER but i think that will take something liké 4 years to have a insane build liké that 💀
マジですごい😮😮
Got C6 Faruzan trying to get CR, Im now at 61 pitty after losing my 50/50 at 70. If I get her, and Xiao I can make this team, I also have Xiao sig. But Im out of wishes and the 4* on Xiao banner sucks. 😢
Which is a better artifact set for xianyun noblesse or songs of days past
They are very similar in single-target, but Noblesse is better in AoE, so I would give the edge to Noblesse
Where go check if my xiao comes in top 1% or not? I also have a preety decent build myself
Here, this is the leaderboards website: akasha.cv
I can only do 130k with Benny furina and faruzan on floor 12. I need xainyun omg
80**** UID and 0 PJWS. I hope I can get it this time. (180+ IF)
I have same team but my xiao is with all the buffs around Max 140k
I dont have new plunge calatyst on her,maybe that is why....
How much worse will this be if my faruzan is only c3?
There's a recent video on my channel titled "Support Showdown" where I compare C5 Faruzan vs C6 Faruzan. I recommend checking it out, as there is almost no real difference between C3 and C5 Faruzan.
Even though Faruzan's C6 is still a big deal, the Xianyun + Furina core is already so much better than Xiao's old teams that playing without C6 Faruzan is no longer nearly as painful as it used to be.
@@Rafos did you mean between c3 and c6?
no, I meant between C3 and C5, meaning that your C3 Faruzan would be almost equal to the C5 I used in that video. Her C4 is kinda useless and C5 is only +3 Burst levels, doesn't do much.
Faruzan's C2 and C6 are amazing, but her other cons are kinda useless (unless you're using some DPS Faruzan meme teams).
Your faruzan has way too much ER for a C6
Yes, this ER really is overkill. 😅
It's my first run with C6 Faruzan and I forgot how much lower her C6 energy requirements are when I made this build. I'll try to get more offensive stats for her later.
It’s best xiao
I got 167k plunges in coop once does that count? Lol
Do you think is worthy to pull xiao because i love the character and lore with gaming being the best carry with his playstyle?
Gaming can be really strong, and I understand all the hype around him, but I wouldn't say he's "the best plunge carry".
In single-target (assuming both with Xianyun) Hu Tao can be a little stronger than C6 Gaming. Also, Furina/Yelan/Xingqiu's Hydro application is very single-target oriented, so even if you hit multiple enemies with your Pyro plunges, you won't be able to vaporize on all of them. Xiao on the other hand, doesn't rely on reactions, which makes him much better than both in AoE.
That being said, unlike Hu Tao and Gaming, Xiao doesn't have good F2P weapons. If you don't have any Crit spear nor intention of getting one, Xiao can be a bit underwhelming. But at the end of the day, the abyss is still relatively easy to clear with any character, so there's no need to worry about it when pulling for characters you really like.

without furina, who would be the best one for the 4th slot?
Bennett would provide the most damage potential, but Zhongli and Yelan are also great options if you don't want to have to play inside Bennett's burst.

How I can get this picture of build ?
I'm using this website: akasha.cv
There's this one too: enka.network
Can you try removing furina . I want to see his damage without furina. Try use benette instead . I want to see if my acc is bad or my xiao is just bad without furina lol
rofl the emo music is funny asf
And they say xiao is bad😂
Not anymore. Now many theorycrafters are comparing this team to Neuvillette teams. 👀
Hold up, so I'm a top 1% Xiao too?!
I really need that C6 Faruzan then😅
If you want to check, this is the leaderboards website: akasha.cv
But yeah, C6 Faruzan is game changing for Xiao. This is my first run with her C6 and the upgrade is very noticeable.
How do u know it's top 1% Xiao? It's just like mine in stats
Through this website: akasha.cv
@@Rafos oh thanks, i really have some characters in top 1% omg
wouldn't it be better with marechausse tho?
Vermillion and Marechaussee are so similar that the best set will be the one with the best stats. The only problem is that Xiao has Crit Rate ascension and Xianyun's A1 buffs Crit Rate, so when we're using Crit Rate weapons, it's extremely difficult to make a Marechaussee build with high crit value without wasting substats by overcaping Crit Rate.
On top of that, when we look at crit weapons of the same investment level, the Crit Rate ones usually have a better passive for him.
For 4-star crit weapons: Deathmatch has an unconditionally useful passive, while Blackcliff's passive is literally useless against bosses.
For 5-star crit weapons: PJWS only gives him useful stats and is very easy to stack. Homa on the other hand, not only does part of the passive buff HP (useless for Xiao), but also part of the passive requires you to be below 50% HP, which is impractical with healers like Xianyun, Bennett or Jean.
Still, PJWS + Vermillion and Homa + Marechaussee are very very close in performance.
@@Rafos oh damn ok
Didn’t expect such a long paragraph lol
@@Rafosdeathmatch is worse than blackcliff
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz with Marechaussee, yes. But with Vermillion, not really. Blackcliff's passive only works from the second wave onwards, and is literally useless against bosses.
In single-target, Deathmatch is 10% stronger. In AoE, Deathmatch is 7% stronger during the first wave, and only from the second wave onwards Blackcliff is 3~8% stronger.
The theorycrafters at r/XiaoMains did the math if you want to check it out:
sites.google.com/view/xiaomains/main-guide/weapons
@@Rafos blackcliff can have ratios of 75/250 on xiao wgile deathmatch caps at 80/220, and not to mention blackcliff has higher base atk than deathmatch so regardless of stacks its just better
Why not Elegy for Faruzan
maybe they don't have it? plus fav is better. lol
@@jinsoulsblondehair5966elegy would be better in this team since you don’t really run into er issues.
I don't have Elegy :/
@@jinsoulsblondehair5966 Actually, Xianyun's release makes Favonius vs Elegy depend on a few factors.
Before Xianyun, yes, Favonius was Faruzan's undisputed best weapon. Elegy's buff was definitely not as valuable as the extra energy. But now that we've swapped Bennett for Xianyun, this team's energy requirements are much lower. Additionally, Elegy's Atk buff is teamwide, which wasn't important before but is now useful as Xianyun's A4 buff scales with her Atk.
That being said, Favonius is still extremely useful, giving a level of comfort and consistency that no other weapon provides.
These are the things that would give Favonius the edge:
- Non-C6 Faruzan (she is unplayable without Favonius)
- Low investment Xiao (needs more rotations to clear)
- Gimmicky bosses that can mess up your rotations
And these are the things that favor Elegy a lot:
- C2 Xianyun (assuming you're not reaching the 4500 atk cap)
- Favonius on Furina (her best F2P weapon for those who didn't get Festering Desire)
so is this the new Xiao meta? Xiao/Faruzan/Xianyun/Furina is better than Xiao/Faruzan/Benny/Zhongli?
Waaay better. I recently made a video using Xiao's 4 most popular teams in the top half of this current abyss 12 and comparing the clear times.
Xiao/Faruzan/Furina/Xianyun got first place.
Xiao/Faruzan/Zhongli/Bennett was fourth.
So worth pull xianyun if have Xiao?btw your intro lit as always
Thanks! In my honest opinion, Xianyun is VERY worth it for Xiao havers for two main reasons:
1- Xiao has always been one of the best AoE DPS, but he didn't stand out as much in single-target. As Xianyun's buff is stronger in single-target, Xiao ends up being very strong in single-target as well, becoming a much more complete and consistent DPS.
2- Bennett's buff is incredible, but the condition of having to play within his circle is terrible against multiwave chambers or more agile enemies. Jean doesn't have this problem and is a great healer/battery, but nothing in her own kit increases Xiao's damage (except her C4).
Xianyun's kit combines the best of both.
@@Rafos i see. Clear explanation! Btw do you know how much dmg difference between 2pc atk%/2pc viridescent and 4pc vermilion? I don't think I can afford to farm vermilion now that my build ratio is perfect(235cd/85cr). Do you it's worth wasting time and resin farming vermilion if you were in my place?
I suggest just use strongbox to get vermilion,dont farm the domain cuz its not worth it.i got 4 piece verrmilion on strongbox with decent piece.@@ryukickdo2652
@@ryukickdo2652 Vermillion is about 5~10% stronger than 2pc combos, it's a decent upgrade if we assume similar stats. The problem with Vermillion is that its domain is terrible, a waste of resin, and I wouldn't recommend anyone farming there now that Vermillion is in the artifact strongbox.
Now we also have the Marechaussee set. Almost as good as Vermillion, while being waaay more resin efficient. The only problem with this set is that it is very difficult to balance your crits if you're using Crit Rate weapons.
All things considered, if you want an upgrade for your Xiao's build, this is what I recommend:
Farm the Marechaussee domain and throw the bad artifacts into the strongbox for Vermillion. This way, you will be farming Xiao's 2 best sets simultaneously, using your resin in a domain that is great for many characters.
@@Rafoslol I’m farming vermillion, but I also have an ayato to get the other set
Why tenacity on faruzan tho
Her C6 makes her burst apply Pressurized Collapse off-field. This counts as Skill DMG, meaning it provides 100% uptime of the Tenacity effect. This 20% Atk buff is not only good for Xiao, but for Xianyun as well, increasing her A4 buff.
@@Rafos Oooooo nice ty for info
Is this xiao strongest team?
Certainly yes
I'd say it's by far his best team now. Not just because of damage potential, but comfort as well.
how is this even top 1 percent when my c1 xiao hits 280k in abys per plunge?
See for yourself then:
akasha.cv/profile/601311859
Search for Xiao in the filter. I have 10 builds there, all Top 1%.
Also keep in mind that this run was recorded before the new abyss blessing that buffs plunge dmg by a ridiculous amount, and both Furina and Xianyun are C0.
With the new blessing and Homa builds, I can also reach such high numbers, but the Avg AoE DPS would be lower.
because your xiao probably has really low crit rate 🤡
