Xiao [Overview] |

Xiao, the bane of all evil, a Vigilant Yaksha, is an Adeptus and the only remaining member of the Five Yakshas in Liyue. As an Anemo 5 stars’ character, he uses the weapon, polearm.
With a unique combat skill, a captivating story background, and a simple element reaction mechanism, Xiao can be one of the most popular characters in Genshin Impact. |

Xiao [Skills] |
If your materials are not enough to level up all the talents skills. I suggest leveling up the Normal Attack and Bane of All Evil - Elemental Burst at first. Then your damage will be increased once you after using the elemental skills. What’s more, if you use the elemental recharging weapons and artifacts on your other characters in the, you can enhance the elemental skills of Xiao later.
This is only for the situation that you don’t have enough materials or mora to enhance Xiao.
However, you will gather all the items at the end to enhance all the skills to the cap. Good luck!

Xiao [Weapon Choice] |
If you are the lucky one, who gets the 5 stars’ weapon from the Wish. I think it is better to use Primordial Jade Winged Spear for Xiao. It has a higher ATK and DMG than the others.
However, for the normal players and f2p players, you can also get the other polearms from the events, crafting, or the banners in Wish for Xiao. This table will list the possible weapons that can be used for Xiao when you want to use Xiao as the main damage dealer.

Xiao [Team Build] |
Xiao can use his Elemental Burst skill and jump above the enemies and do the damage. At the same time, his HP will be reduced while using his skills. There are two plans (Plan A and Plan B) I recommend only from my game experiences. Maybe you have more plans for it. Just leave the comments below, I am glad to share the building with you.
When using Xiao as Main DPS in a team, the other teammates could:
- provide heals for moving party members.
- gather enemies, provide energy while providing Elemental Resonance.
- provide shield while spreading status.
Mostly, we can use 2 Anemo characters+ 1 healer + 1 Support. But there are also some other choices you can use behind.
Basic: *(If you are totally f2p, and no extra good characters for Xiao at the moment)
①Xiao+Barbara+Xiangling+Noelle
②Xiao+Barbara+Xiangling+Fischl
Barbara can heal, Noelle will provide the shield, and Xiangling’s Fire Aoe can be spread in Xiao’s damage.
Advanced: *(More choices in the list below)
①Xiao+Xingqiu+Fischl+Diona
②Xiao+Xingqiu+Sucrose+Xinyan
③Xiao+Sucrose+Bennett+Fischl
④Xiao+Sucrose+Xinyan+Barbara
⑤Xiao+Barbara+Fischl+Xiangling
⑥Xiao+Bennett+Xingqiu+Fischl
⑦Xiao+Noelle+Bennett+Fischl
*Sucrose can gather enemies.
Bennett can Heal and increase the elemental dmg. Xingqiu,
Noelle, Barbara can give Xiao a shield and healing buff.
Xinyan can provide the shield buff and also give the elemental reaction with other characters for Xiao.
Intermediate: Xiao+ 5 or 4 Stars Healer + Venti+ 5 or 4 Stars Support
Support 1 provides the Elements that increase Xiao’s elemental damages.
Support 2 can provide the shield and keeps Xiao’s DEF.
Novice: Xiao+ 5 Stars Heealer + Venti+ 5 Stars Shield Supports.

Tips:
*The main character couldn’t offer any elemental buff to Xiao, only give Xiao Elemental Recharging Buff. Moreover, Traveler's Gust Surge will below all the enemies away, and Xiao needs to gather the monsters. It will use you more time to fight, while Xiao chases enemies instead of fights them. So I recommend you to use Sucrose here if you want to build an Anemo Team.
* Sucrose can only gather the small and light enemies. If you want to lift up the heavier enemies, such as big Hilichurls or Agents, I prefer to use Jean.

Xiao [Background] |
Xiao is an adept who has the appearance of a young man, but his true age is something over two thousand years. He always stays in Wangshu Inn and enjoys the quietness and the loneliness. At the same time, Wangshu Inn is also an important location for Xiao to start his travel, which fights with the evils.
On the one hand, Xiao is an immortal Adeptus. On the other hand, he is a young warrior, who protects Liyue. In the course of his long battle against the remnants of defeated gods all over Liyue, he has become poisoned by their nefarious energy.
On holidays of the festive season, people will pray with incense, set off fireworks and lanterns; visit family members and friends, and hope that the immortals will bless. The lanterns rise up into the night sky, look like they are the shiny stars in the Liyue’s nights.
For thousands of years, Xiao always watches this beautiful sight alone from a mountaintop, and just like anyone else, he senses the sentiment behind them, and he understands that the reason people craft these beautiful things is to remember those who fought alongside him in the past. He knows, the people in Liyue wou
ldn’t pray to Xiao. As a demon-hunting Yaksha, Xiao is not a lucky star that promises fame and fortune — he is the evil spirits to death.
However, Xiao doesn’t care if the locals pray him or not, because he has a contract that he had to fulfill, a protector Yasha, a protector in Liyue.
Xiao always keeps his distance from human society. As a Yaksha, he doesn't know how to interact with ordinary people, nor does he know what his place is among all the excitement and noise.
