What’s the best Genshin Xiangling build? Xiangling is a super important sub-DPS staple in many of the top-ranking ‘National’ team comps. Available as a free character for anyone who braves floor three of the Spiral Abyss, she a versatile little bean capable of applying pyro and dealing damage from off-field. Her AoE burst is incredible powerful and perfect for elemental reaction combos, and she scales very well with high investment and external buffs, such as Bennett’s burst.
On the other hand, her energy cost is pretty high and she does rely on Bennett in most of her team comps to manage energy and buffing. Guoba also has a limited range and can be very inconsistent with targeting, which can negatively impact your energy and damage without someone like Kazuha to suck him up into enemies. Her high pyro application can also complicate elemental aura set ups.
However, every account should realistically have a built Xiangling in their ranks, as she can be invaluable in many scenarios and isn’t too expensive to build.
What’s the best Genshin Xiangling weapon? Xiangling’s best weapon relies heavily on what team comps you’re hoping to put her in. Generally, The Catch is a great all-round choice and is full free to play.
Alternatively, if you somehow have a spare copy of Staff of Homa or Engulfing Lightning, those are brilliant options. Or, if you’re planning on using Xiangling in a team without Bennett, you should go with Favonius Lance or Kitain Cross Spear to help her battery herself.
Outside of that, if you want a full statistical breakdown of how other polearms size up against each other, check out the Keqingmains Xiangling weapons section.
