He is insanely valuable with Xiao because there is no real source of anemo resistance shred, and Zhongli shreds 20% resistance to all elements which is amazing for Xiao.

10:35 Actually primordial spear is rly good for raiden mostly cuz of the passive that gives a lot of attack, I use it on her and the basics in ult for are like 15-20k, though I also have 250 ER without the catch
Same here! I got a second PJWS on standard (a month after pulling for it on Xiao's weapon banner, my 5* weapon RNG works in mysterious ways) and put it on my Raiden to fix my ratio and base atk a bit, and because tier lists had it higher than The Catch. She improved a lot but yeah, just like you I already had massive ER from substats and the sands and even after changing my circlet to crit dmg I'm at 258% ER. The Catch went to Xiangling and my rational team had a major boost! So indeed, it's a pretty good option for Raiden
I think that there was always a misconception using pjws on Raiden. Like a lot of guides and all said that it wasnt good, but the reality is that its actually really good for her. I think that its because Homa isnt really good for Raiden and the thought of "oh so crit weapons arent good for her" was adapted by the community. besides, even if you Raiden build isnt that amazing you have at least 200% ER just from ascension, 2 piece set bonus and an energy recharge sands, so you only need around 20% more ER to have an almost perfect ER amount so you can focus other substats into attack and crits. You could even use an attack circlet on Raiden if your crit substats are godly
I also use the Jade spear on my Raiden. Got Xiao first time around and do not gel with his playstyle at all 🥲. Makes me feel like I have arthritis, how bad I am at controlling him. Did free up my Catch for Xiangling though. Raiden and Xiangling on the National are great 😘🤌🏻
Moga, the Vermillion set gives such small of an upgrade that running him double atk% sets is better unless your vermillion set has the same or better stats that your double atk% sets. Its barely a 5-10% dmg increase with the same stats so I recommend using glad/shime/echo/ver 2-sets on him given your vermillion artifacts.
It's actually the same for other artifact set upgrade. There are few spreadsheet in KQM discord but I can't link you because it's from chinese server. Basically the new artifacts set only increase 8% - 10% across the board. Seems like Mihoyo use the same formula. Itto with Husk also only increase 10% over 2p Husk + 2p Petra. The difference is the support unit. Itto can use Albedo/Gorou/ + geo reso while Xiao doesn't have his own dedicated support and anemo reso doesn't help much.
you dont have to worry about the full set bonus so much on xiao, the artifact set gives him like 8% more damage than 2pc atk% x2 so you can just use your good shimenawa and glad pieces to test him out again
I honestly think Xiao is in the lvl of most of the recent 5* DPS like Itto and Ayato (except Ayaka). The only thing that holds him back is a dedicated support. Heizou could have been perfect but no... Hoyoverse had to activate their Xiao Hate button.. I do think he is either in the lvl of inazuma 5* and even surpasses few inazuma 5*.
I agree with everything but the heizou part, I would rather have heizou be able to have his own standing then be just a dedicated xiao support like gorou or kujou sara to itto and raiden respectively. But I guess I’m a little biased since I don’t have xiao (I wanted him but I gotta save my guaranteed)
@@ishananchit677 oh yeah lol never looked at any of their constellations so never knew .... In any case that makes jean the best fit for Xiao right? Healing plus anemo resistance shred ....
I’m pretty sure the Primordial Jade gives the buff -on hit-, so you can gain all the stacks while only plunging I always play him that way so I was confused when you talked about doing basics and stuff, so I checked it and it worked with only plunging. But tbh I think Staff of Homa is kinda better for him, really had high hopes about him getting a new weapon this rerun.🚶🏻♀️
I think the point is while you can get the stacks while only plunging, if you do 1 AA combo, you will max the stacks much faster and get not only the full stacks of attack, but also the straight damage boost. But then again, I only do the AA string before I activate the burst. Once Xiao has the mask on, its plunge time
@@tabithal2977 That is true too! And if its single target and you care enough to do the jet combo, you also get 3 stacks I believe, though I could be wrong on that.
For Yelan-Xiao combo, you could always do N1-cancel-plunge pattern. So you don't lose too much DPS on Xiao while still proccing Yelan's exquisite throw
A video idea that came to mind was you trying out the Genshin Optimizer. It would tell the best artifacts to use to maximize damage. You could compare what you thought was the best with the recommendation.
Xiao's so good, just got him recently and im shocked i can do 40k plunge and 79k with full buff, and im f2p so that's why I'm very shocked with this *low damage* if that's how you see it
I guess you have Zhongli in your team. The biggest drawback that the team in the video have is that it doesn't have any def/element shred. With Zhongli, you get 20% more attack with tenacity and 20% elemental shred with the shield.
Man your accent and pronunciation is just so perfect, as a non-native english speaker your channel is the one of like 3 channels that I very clearly understand without needing any subtitles. Love your content a lot too, I just found myself wishing for the video not to end
The best way to keep the stacks on Xiao's Primodial Spear is to basic attack in between his plunges. Jump > Plunge > Normal Attack > then immediately jump and repeat. It will feel a bit hard at first but it will feel more fluid as you practice it more. You can also search it on RUclips and see some demonstration as to how you do it. Of course, that is if you are gonna keep using Xiao.
I'll just Razor language xiao for you He get big bonus from kit so attack stacking big good. He gets along with dad. Bennet good. attack buff book good.
Gor the team, maybe consider substituting Yelan for Zhongli, since Zhongli's shield offers anemo res decrease to enemies, also helps with Xiao's jumps getting interrupted!
xiao main over here!! his optimal attack sequence when against a single enemy is plunge -> na -> ca -> plunge!! as for his e's its preferable once the animation stops you immediately switch to his burst so that he already has the particles halfway through the burst animation. for multiple enemies, just a plunge -> na -> plunge is good. for pjws stacks, playing normally will oftentimes get you the stacks naturally but i find it best doing 3-4 na then the two skills followed by the burst for the plunge combo i mentioned in the previous paragraph
As a Xiao main, I still use him with the 2pc viridescent, 2pc gladiator, so if you have better pieces of those you can try it. As I heard even if vermillion is his best option, it's not really worth it, it won't give you a significantly better dmg. Especially if you have a better stuff on the other sets. 😅
@@bletwort2920 i mean if you got Xiao from his later banners then yeah it's easier to farm just one domain, but it's not that big on an atk increase, or at least not what most us expected from his signature set. The other thing that maybe can make it a bit better, that you probably don't need Bennett that much, so you can use him in other comps.
If you think about it the Jade Spear was built for Xiao in Beta for the launch of the game... Homa did power creep it because it's a Event Banner weapon. Xiao on Homa is still lit!!! I'd say that the Jade Spear you should R5 as you get off banner weapons of it for sure as few units can make use of it and the ATk% bonus.
This is so funny, just yesterday I watched your Xiao pull video. Perfect timing moga! also: it was a hilarious watch, you knew so much less about the game, even thinking the jade cutter wasn't a good weapon to pull 😂
you should do a challenge where you spin a wheel, get a character, build them, spin the wheel again, get another character and that is the character you have to use with the build of the first character you got on the wheel! Itd be pretty fun
if you want all stacks fast on the spear you can do one normal attack and then a plunge. one normal attack will give 2 stacks (since xiao attacks twice first first attack). paired with yelan you will even proc her burst.
@Neet Kun i know how that works.. but you would agree that 2+1 stack is better than just one stack per plunge rotation, right? that is simple math. and also, when did i say that only normal attacks activate the stacks?
Running Xaio with echos of offering with the jade spear because the atk speed is so high and that way you can run him with Yelan and Raiden and jump to dodge attacks it's very satisfying
It’s kind of weird to me that Xingqui’s burst feels shorter than Yelan’s despite the fact he is C6. It might just be the time taken between burst-double skill for energy and switch though, but Yelan’s always feels like it lasts longer regardless
Xiao benefits more from defense shredding supports like zhongli Mona c4jean, just have zhongli with recharge spear don’t need sucrose in xiao team. Highest dmg build for xiao is zhongli albedo and c4 Jean.
Pogo stick short king really likes his atk% subs on artifacts, with PJS' high base attack he likes them even more. It's why I like him so much, he can easily do up to 40k plunges on his own without any supports with the right stats.
In my opinion, the order from best to worst is: Homa, Jade, Queller. Homa is just that good with extra atk bonus from HP so your artifact which has hp% substat is not that useless. Not to mention the extra bonus when your hp is below 50% and Xiao loses HP passively from his ult. Jade Spear is also good just because of the high base atk and crit rate main stat alone, but activating the passive is a bit of pain in the ass because you have to attack 7 times first. I don't rate Queller very highly because the base atk is kinda overkill and having crit stats on the weapon makes artifact building much easier.
I spent 13k primos trying to get yelan's bow for ganyu, but instead got myself a second jade spear. You pretty much confirmed in this video that even though it's a good weapon overall, there aren't many characters right now who could use it, so I guess it'll have to wait for a suitable owner together with my skyward atlas and lost prayer. Also weapon banner is a terrible thing to spend your primos on, I knew the risks and made my choice, now I have to live with it
The other day I wanted to see how fast I could do a boss rush of every boss in the game. I also thought this might make a interesting video idea so figured I'd share
I feel that the PJWS is pretty good on Hu Tao I say that because I don't have any other good weapons for her that can out damage my Jade spear but hopefully I get Staff of Homeless
I think one of the main point of Xiao's artifact is to actually free Bennett up, we all know about the diminishing returns of ATK, and everything about Xiao's kit, artifact, and sig weapon is buffing his atk and his dmg Xiao and PJWS both has very high base atk Xiao's passive all buff Dmg PJWS adds 22.4% atk and 12% dmg buff 4-piece artifact buffs 18% + 8% +40% = 66% Atk So you don't need to run Bennett with him anymore his own artifact is a mini Bennett + TTDS that lasts for the entirety of his burst. So I run him with 2-Geo-2-Anemo (Zhongli+Albedo+Jean) Overall his new artifact is QoL improvement on him rather than improving his dmg substantially (his set compare to two 18% or 18%+VV combo is only roughly 11% DPS increase) Also, I prefer PJWS on him, a lot of people give it flack for stack mechanism - needing to stack first, but Xiao has very fast atk animation and could get that stack in 2.1 seconds. and just by dmg comparison against Homa: Full Stack PJWS > No Buff Homa > No Buff PJWS - and when running Xiao, you'll never want him to be less than 50% HP - it's a suicide for him even with Zhongli shield and if you still run him with Bennett or any healer it's very counter productive with Homa.
The dmg order for both weapons are homa under 50 > pjws max stack >homa over 50> pjws no stack. Since xiao is hard to maintain under 50% hp with Benny buff and for none c6 xiao pjws takes a bit time to activate I would rank both weapon the same however at c6 with the spam e pjws really shines better and the dmg increase will buff the e dmg even more because the e will not get buffed by his burst.
A really good team I like for Xiao is Albedo, Zhongli for geo resonance and Jean with Favonius sword for a healer/ battery. It's a really solid team for Xiao espcially if your Jean is c4
Yelan might be actually really good for xiao, because if you do plunge+1na combo you will do more damage than just plunge and you will trigger yelan's ult, and in addition yelan has a passive that increases on field character's atk by some%
Actually, Yelan is kinda good with Xiao, bc you can do one normal attack and animation cancel it with a jump and plunge. Bc of this swirl Xiao is finnaly viable (you can't do the same with Xingqiu). It's not that hard to do, if you just spam left click, it will happen rly often.
hi moga! since it seems that you want to use yelan on xiao, lemme give you a few xiao techs! xiao deals alot of damage from plunges, but you can also sneak in a few basic attacks while doing plunge attacks. when doing the first set of basic attacks, if you jump immediately it will do the first attack of the first set and cancel the next one. therefore if you do basic + jump immediately ~ into plunge, you can proc yelans burst while getting more hits from xiao. though you cannot use xingqiu for this sadly :(
So.. I've been using Xiao with primordial pretty much since he came out and I gotta say...Homa's overall better especially now with the vermillion set. Getting Primordial's stacks is really a pain if you don't normal attack a few times before you start plunging
primordial jade is still better than homa by a slight difference. homa is better if the passive gets activated, but generally its slightly worse than pjws
you guys don't know how PJWS works. it stacks on all of Xiao's damage source. yes! even with his E. i tried it. that's why most TCs rate PJWS on Xiao higher than Homa. only time Homa beats PJWS on Xiao is when its passive procs
y'all out there xiao havers and main have the jade spear while i'm still sitting here with my homa waiting for said jade spear to come home i know homa's good but we're all about aesthetics in this household
Samee I’ve literally been trying to get jade since 1.3 No luck. Of course my alt that had no xiao got a jade I literally pulled xiao on that acc for drip only lmao
@@c6xiaohaver WAIT ME TOO I HAVE JADE IN MY ULT BUT I LOST MY 50/50 ON XIAO TWICE LIKE $#$*#$*#$_ BROO xiao mains since 1.3 without jade spear unite 🤸🏽♀️
Homa is easier to build because all those hp substats can turn to atk, but PWJS is still good in its own right. XIAO gets a lot of damage bonus from his burst and ascension passive, +the goblet and PWJS passive. That and there isnt much else to do other than ATK boost from TTDS and benny. Reliable ANEMO RES SHRED is locked behind C4 Jean, and there isnt any way to boost crit damage of anemo damage (YET). Which is quite unfortunate for XIAO
since you have Thoma C6, can you try using Thoma in the same team (Thoma Xiao Yelan Benny)? I think about this team recently but i don't have Xiao to test out. The thing about this team is Thoma and Benny give pyro resonance, Thoma give a bit of shield to help prevent knock back, and doing some basic attack between Xiao's jump summon Yelan's arrow and Thoma's shield so u get Thoma's 15% buff of plunge while doing some damage with Yelan
Although Yelans 50% dmg bonus is nice, it is not that valuable on Xiao as it would be to other characters, as his burst provides him a huge dmg bonus, and as we know, when a single stat is stacked too much it gives diminishing returns. Although it is nice that Yelans’s burst triggers on the first hit of Xiao’s first auto, so you can interweave it into his plunges. But Zhonglis anemo shred is probably more useful, as there aren’t as many ways to shred anemo.
i just got him a few days ago. I now use the lithic spear on him and use a 2pc glad / 2pc VV with a 60/145 crit ratio. even tho i only hit 21k on crit. im glad i pulled for him.:)
As a Xiao main I think it's just because you built his artifacts around the fact that you will use staff of homa. Which isn't bad but with pjws it doesn't compliment him the best.
ELEMENT - DENDRO ( " after story " fallen Night of kan'rehia - chapter II act I) Dedro element allow us to create our own A.i who fight along with Travaler
I also got xiao's weapon, but im not upset, since yelan already has elegy. My xiao has had blackliff ever since, i got him on on his first banner, and now he finally got jade lol. I'm not using him in abyss rn, but i've been thinking of farming the chasm domain for him:)

I honestly think Xiao is in the lvl of most of the recent 5* DPS like Itto and Ayato (except Ayaka). The only thing that holds him back is a dedicated support. Heizou could have been perfect but no... Hoyoverse had to activate their Xiao Hate button.. I do think he is either in the lvl of inazuma 5* and even surpasses few inazuma 5*.
What so you mean they hate xiao? Did you not just do this path’s event quest?
@@alicia-hd2cs op meant gameplay and power wise tho
has a archon quest focused on him, gets a second rerun, has his own set of artifacts.
@@kakseto8757 guys pls read. Op said what holds him back is a "DEDICATED SUPPORT"
I agree with everything but the heizou part, I would rather have heizou be able to have his own standing then be just a dedicated xiao support like gorou or kujou sara to itto and raiden respectively. But I guess I’m a little biased since I don’t have xiao (I wanted him but I gotta save my guaranteed)
The point of the set is you don’t need to run Bennett, I think. He gets a lot of ATK on his own
Even so I like running Benny cuz I like atk
Me with 5K attack buffed Xiao 💀
But because of his high base attack, buffing %attk is way better than buffing bonus dmg. That's why yelan isn't perfect for him
I guess you missed that Zhongli seems to be the only character who could've done anemo dmg shred with his shield.
There r other character that can do that too

LET'S GOOO, I LOVE IT WHEN HE MAKES VIDS ON XIAO
I’m pretty sure the Primordial Jade gives the buff -on hit-, so you can gain all the stacks while only plunging
I always play him that way so I was confused when you talked about doing basics and stuff, so I checked it and it worked with only plunging.
But tbh I think Staff of Homa is kinda better for him, really had high hopes about him getting a new weapon this rerun.🚶🏻♀️
I think the point is while you can get the stacks while only plunging, if you do 1 AA combo, you will max the stacks much faster and get not only the full stacks of attack, but also the straight damage boost. But then again, I only do the AA string before I activate the burst. Once Xiao has the mask on, its plunge time
@@saam7737 This! A lot of people give PJWS flack for the stacking, but he has very fast AA animation and can get the full stack in a singing AA string
@@saam7737 especially with an N1 jump cancel, you can get 2 stacks per plunge, three if you dont cancel
@@tabithal2977 That is true too! And if its single target and you care enough to do the jet combo, you also get 3 stacks I believe, though I could be wrong on that.
yes. PJWS can actually stack even thru Xiao's E. lol idk why people don't know about this
For Yelan-Xiao combo, you could always do N1-cancel-plunge pattern. So you don't lose too much DPS on Xiao while still proccing Yelan's exquisite throw
A video idea that came to mind was you trying out the Genshin Optimizer. It would tell the best artifacts to use to maximize damage. You could compare what you thought was the best with the recommendation.
Xiao's so good, just got him recently and im shocked i can do 40k plunge and 79k with full buff, and im f2p so that's why I'm very shocked with this *low damage* if that's how you see it
Damn what weapon u use for this "low damage"
Same with just bennet my xiao hit 38-45k the only problem is i don't really play him but still build him 🤣🤣
I guess you have Zhongli in your team. The biggest drawback that the team in the video have is that it doesn't have any def/element shred. With Zhongli, you get 20% more attack with tenacity and 20% elemental shred with the shield.
Xiao in this video has really bad artifacts. But for F2P 40k plunge without buffs is kinda high.
bruh i can barely hit 42k with full buffs lol (maybe cuz I'm running a favonius lance on him lmao)
Man your accent and pronunciation is just so perfect, as a non-native english speaker your channel is the one of like 3 channels that I very clearly understand without needing any subtitles. Love your content a lot too, I just found myself wishing for the video not to end
Zyox is happy now.
xiao protec, he attack and
now he's back !!!!!!!
The best way to keep the stacks on Xiao's Primodial Spear is to basic attack in between his plunges.
Jump > Plunge > Normal Attack > then immediately jump and repeat.
It will feel a bit hard at first but it will feel more fluid as you practice it more. You can also search it on RUclips and see some demonstration as to how you do it.
Of course, that is if you are gonna keep using Xiao.
Hell yeah, my favorite character! If you use TTDS on Sucroae and Zhongli's shield for Anemo resistance shred, you should be able to hit 60-70k+
I'll just Razor language xiao for you
He get big bonus from kit so attack stacking big good.
He gets along with dad.
Bennet good.
attack buff book good.
Gor the team, maybe consider substituting Yelan for Zhongli, since Zhongli's shield offers anemo res decrease to enemies, also helps with Xiao's jumps getting interrupted!
Xiao, Jean, Albedo, Zhongli awesome team. Abyss ready and smooth rotations
xiao main over here!! his optimal attack sequence when against a single enemy is plunge -> na -> ca -> plunge!! as for his e's its preferable once the animation stops you immediately switch to his burst so that he already has the particles halfway through the burst animation. for multiple enemies, just a plunge -> na -> plunge is good.
for pjws stacks, playing normally will oftentimes get you the stacks naturally but i find it best doing 3-4 na then the two skills followed by the burst for the plunge combo i mentioned in the previous paragraph
The silence as you wanted to kill the maguu kenki but he died already was so funny
As a Xiao main, I still use him with the 2pc viridescent, 2pc gladiator, so if you have better pieces of those you can try it. As I heard even if vermillion is his best option, it's not really worth it, it won't give you a significantly better dmg. Especially if you have a better stuff on the other sets. 😅
Not true. Unless you have perfect 2p 2p sets, Vermilion is worth farming.
@@bletwort2920 i mean if you got Xiao from his later banners then yeah it's easier to farm just one domain, but it's not that big on an atk increase, or at least not what most us expected from his signature set.
The other thing that maybe can make it a bit better, that you probably don't need Bennett that much, so you can use him in other comps.
Wait hold on- I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THE JADE SPEAR EVEN THOUGH I WANTED THE FREAKING BOW!?
its called losing the 5050
@@butthead1233 I hate ittttt
wooo another moga video my day just got 100 times better
You know that Moga does something wrong when his whale account Xiao does less damage than mine.
Xiao’s best team is actually Zhongli Jean and Albedo I believe
Yelan’s burst actually goes off on Xiao’s plunge attacks :)
I think that’s only if you do a normal attack into plunge attack.
@@Chopsparillo i can confirm it works on plunges without doing a normal attack, has to be a mid height plunge though. (edit fixed wording lol)
If you think about it the Jade Spear was built for Xiao in Beta for the launch of the game... Homa did power creep it because it's a Event Banner weapon. Xiao on Homa is still lit!!!
I'd say that the Jade Spear you should R5 as you get off banner weapons of it for sure as few units can make use of it and the ATk% bonus.
This is so funny, just yesterday I watched your Xiao pull video. Perfect timing moga!
also: it was a hilarious watch, you knew so much less about the game, even thinking the jade cutter wasn't a good weapon to pull 😂
you should do a challenge where you spin a wheel, get a character, build them, spin the wheel again, get another character and that is the character you have to use with the build of the first character you got on the wheel! Itd be pretty fun
if you want all stacks fast on the spear you can do one normal attack and then a plunge. one normal attack will give 2 stacks (since xiao attacks twice first first attack). paired with yelan you will even proc her burst.
@Neet Kun i know how that works.. but you would agree that 2+1 stack is better than just one stack per plunge rotation, right? that is simple math. and also, when did i say that only normal attacks activate the stacks?
Running Xaio with echos of offering with the jade spear because the atk speed is so high and that way you can run him with Yelan and Raiden and jump to dodge attacks it's very satisfying
If you have yelan
You can do n1 and then jump and then plunge with xiao
If you do that yelan’s burst would still activate
As a triple crowned Xiao main (since his og banner
Tysmm i was waiting for this video 😭🙏
As xiao main since 1st banner seeing more xiao content from hoyoverse and content creators makes me happy
It’s kind of weird to me that Xingqui’s burst feels shorter than Yelan’s despite the fact he is C6. It might just be the time taken between burst-double skill for energy and switch though, but Yelan’s always feels like it lasts longer regardless
Xiao benefits more from defense shredding supports like zhongli Mona c4jean, just have zhongli with recharge spear don’t need sucrose in xiao team. Highest dmg build for xiao is zhongli albedo and c4 Jean.
Pogo stick short king really likes his atk% subs on artifacts, with PJS' high base attack he likes them even more. It's why I like him so much, he can easily do up to 40k plunges on his own without any supports with the right stats.
Please do a Xiao weapon comparison between Staff of homa, Jade Spear and Calamity Queller. It would be so helpful for us.
In my opinion, I prefer Calamity Quellet over Jade Spear. I don’t know about staff of Homs though
In my opinion, the order from best to worst is: Homa, Jade, Queller. Homa is just that good with extra atk bonus from HP so your artifact which has hp% substat is not that useless. Not to mention the extra bonus when your hp is below 50% and Xiao loses HP passively from his ult. Jade Spear is also good just because of the high base atk and crit rate main stat alone, but activating the passive is a bit of pain in the ass because you have to attack 7 times first. I don't rate Queller very highly because the base atk is kinda overkill and having crit stats on the weapon makes artifact building much easier.
Can I use Vortex to replace Calamity?
@@YuigahamaIsMyLaifu for a Geo Resonance team or with Zhongli, Vortex is great, but not as good as the other 3.
@@lenardbraga6020 I mean, I can provide them with Homa & Vortex damage info xd
Yelan is actually a really good support for Xiao since you can weave normals between plunges and yelan's ult will proc
I spent 13k primos trying to get yelan's bow for ganyu, but instead got myself a second jade spear. You pretty much confirmed in this video that even though it's a good weapon overall, there aren't many characters right now who could use it, so I guess it'll have to wait for a suitable owner together with my skyward atlas and lost prayer. Also weapon banner is a terrible thing to spend your primos on, I knew the risks and made my choice, now I have to live with it
The other day I wanted to see how fast I could do a boss rush of every boss in the game. I also thought this might make a interesting video idea so figured I'd share
Hopefully I'll get him after 5days I wanna give him homa since I don't really use hutao and I don't wanna make zhongli use it for too long
Yoimiya, Yelan, Xingqiu, Zhongli is a really good team, abyss ready and smooth rotations.
*Millhouse* : "Remember Xiao? He's back! In POG-form!"
when moga uploads when im awake, i know im up too late
When you said,"Primordial Jade-Wing-ed Spear" I was like: Is that a new weapon or smth?
I've just never heard someone say it like that before.
I feel that the PJWS is pretty good on Hu Tao I say that because I don't have any other good weapons for her that can out damage my Jade spear but hopefully I get Staff of Homeless
Try Dragon's Bane
I think Yelan works with Xiao. Xiao’s jump cancel in his burst doesn’t trigger thoma or xingqiu, but triggers yelan
Hey moga I have a tip : you can open the details screen when upgrading artifacts to skip the pop up screen and save time
*THE SILENCE AFTER MAGUU KENKI DIED I-*
**cracks up**
The caption said "showers back" I'm shitting bricks rn
pretty sure one of xingqiu's constellations increases burst duration
I think one of the main point of Xiao's artifact is to actually free Bennett up, we all know about the diminishing returns of ATK, and everything about Xiao's kit, artifact, and sig weapon is buffing his atk and his dmg
Xiao and PJWS both has very high base atk
Xiao's passive all buff Dmg
PJWS adds 22.4% atk and 12% dmg buff
4-piece artifact buffs 18% + 8% +40% = 66% Atk
So you don't need to run Bennett with him anymore his own artifact is a mini Bennett + TTDS that lasts for the entirety of his burst. So I run him with 2-Geo-2-Anemo (Zhongli+Albedo+Jean)
Overall his new artifact is QoL improvement on him rather than improving his dmg substantially (his set compare to two 18% or 18%+VV combo is only roughly 11% DPS increase)
Also, I prefer PJWS on him, a lot of people give it flack for stack mechanism - needing to stack first, but Xiao has very fast atk animation and could get that stack in 2.1 seconds. and just by dmg comparison against Homa:
Full Stack PJWS > No Buff Homa > No Buff PJWS - and when running Xiao, you'll never want him to be less than 50% HP - it's a suicide for him even with Zhongli shield and if you still run him with Bennett or any healer it's very counter productive with Homa.
The dmg order for both weapons are homa under 50 > pjws max stack >homa over 50> pjws no stack. Since xiao is hard to maintain under 50% hp with Benny buff and for none c6 xiao pjws takes a bit time to activate I would rank both weapon the same however at c6 with the spam e pjws really shines better and the dmg increase will buff the e dmg even more because the e will not get buffed by his burst.
love how you gave xiao some suspicious steak
A really good team I like for Xiao is Albedo, Zhongli for geo resonance and Jean with Favonius sword for a healer/ battery. It's a really solid team for Xiao espcially if your Jean is c4
Yelan might be actually really good for xiao, because if you do plunge+1na combo you will do more damage than just plunge and you will trigger yelan's ult, and in addition yelan has a passive that increases on field character's atk by some%
How much ER do you run since you aren't using an anemo support
@@FriedSamn I do use an anemo support, my team is xiao, bennet yelan and sucrose, but if I didn't have sucrose, I would say ~140% should be enough
Actually, Yelan is kinda good with Xiao, bc you can do one normal attack and animation cancel it with a jump and plunge. Bc of this swirl Xiao is finnaly viable (you can't do the same with Xingqiu). It's not that hard to do, if you just spam left click, it will happen rly often.
i remember farming this domain, I got 3 gold, 1 purple, 6 blue and 5 greens
i just sat there looking at my drops
hi moga! since it seems that you want to use yelan on xiao, lemme give you a few xiao techs! xiao deals alot of damage from plunges, but you can also sneak in a few basic attacks while doing plunge attacks. when doing the first set of basic attacks, if you jump immediately it will do the first attack of the first set and cancel the next one. therefore if you do basic + jump immediately ~ into plunge, you can proc yelans burst while getting more hits from xiao. though you cannot use xingqiu for this sadly :(
Whale pov: you forgot constellations even tho you've got c6 xingqiu
I did my commissions after watching this video and got xiao in a one pull…..😭
So.. I've been using Xiao with primordial pretty much since he came out and I gotta say...Homa's overall better especially now with the vermillion set.
Getting Primordial's stacks is really a pain if you don't normal attack a few times before you start plunging
primordial jade is still better than homa by a slight difference. homa is better if the passive gets activated, but generally its slightly worse than pjws
I don’t focus on the passive it just looks pretty with him🤷♀️
you guys don't know how PJWS works. it stacks on all of Xiao's damage source. yes! even with his E. i tried it. that's why most TCs rate PJWS on Xiao higher than Homa. only time Homa beats PJWS on Xiao is when its passive procs
y'all out there xiao havers and main have the jade spear while i'm still sitting here with my homa waiting for said jade spear to come home
i know homa's good but we're all about aesthetics in this household

if you do a burst dps zhongli jade spear is pretty good because his normal attacks are very fast and he gets the stacks really quick
7:50 "Since we don't do normal attacks really with Xiao"
Plunges are normal attacks...
Homa is easier to build because all those hp substats can turn to atk, but PWJS is still good in its own right.
XIAO gets a lot of damage bonus from his burst and ascension passive, +the goblet and PWJS passive. That and there isnt much else to do other than ATK boost from TTDS and benny. Reliable ANEMO RES SHRED is locked behind C4 Jean, and there isnt any way to boost crit damage of anemo damage (YET). Which is quite unfortunate for XIAO
Magu kenki is like masanori's annoying little brother who runs around too much (even though he's twice as big and 5x as strong)
the best way to use xiao with jade spear is to n1, jump, plunge, over and over so you can keep consistent stacks
since you have Thoma C6, can you try using Thoma in the same team (Thoma Xiao Yelan Benny)? I think about this team recently but i don't have Xiao to test out. The thing about this team is Thoma and Benny give pyro resonance, Thoma give a bit of shield to help prevent knock back, and doing some basic attack between Xiao's jump summon Yelan's arrow and Thoma's shield so u get Thoma's 15% buff of plunge while doing some damage with Yelan
doesnt xiaos plunge get affected by bennys c6?
@@caitlynkim3527 no, not at all, Xiao's anemo infusion can't be override. Moga uses Benny c6 and Xiao in this video as you can see
Although Yelans 50% dmg bonus is nice, it is not that valuable on Xiao as it would be to other characters, as his burst provides him a huge dmg bonus, and as we know, when a single stat is stacked too much it gives diminishing returns. Although it is nice that Yelans’s burst triggers on the first hit of Xiao’s first auto, so you can interweave it into his plunges.
But Zhonglis anemo shred is probably more useful, as there aren’t as many ways to shred anemo.
i just got him a few days ago. I now use the lithic spear on him and use a 2pc glad / 2pc VV with a 60/145 crit ratio. even tho i only hit 21k on crit. im glad i pulled for him.:)

Just got xaio today and am waiting for that spicy "Super God Mode" showcase
I stopped playing genshin for a few months and came back today and got xiao after 3 pulls as an AR 17
As a Xiao main I think it's just because you built his artifacts around the fact that you will use staff of homa. Which isn't bad but with pjws it doesn't compliment him the best.
