Genshin Impact: Best Xiangling Build, Weapons & Team Comps

The definitive guide to building the strongest Xiangling in Genshin Impact – optimize weapons, artifacts, talents, and team comps for maximum off-field pyro DPS.

Xiangling is one of the best pyro characters in Genshin Impact. As a powerful off-field pyro enabler and damage dealer, she fits into many top-tier team compositions.

This guide will cover Xiangling’s build featuring the best weapons, artifacts, and talent upgrades to maximize her potential in Genshin Impact.

Overview of Xiangling’s Kit

Before getting into builds, let’s briefly go over Xiangling’s talents and abilities:

Rarity	4-star
Element	Pyro
Weapon	Polearm
Strengths	Powerful off-field pyro application, strong pyro damage from her burst
Weaknesses	High energy requirements, long skill cooldown

• Xiangling’s Elemental Skill, “Gouba Attack,” summons her pet Jueyun Chili named Guoba, which breathes fire dealing AoE Pyro damage. Guoba can be used to apply pyro status on enemies to enable elemental reactions. His duration can be extended by using Xiangling’s Constellation 1.
• Her Elemental Burst, “Pyronado,” summons a fiery tornado that follows her around, dealing continuous Pyro damage to surrounding enemies.
• Pyronado’s damage can be further increased by leveling the talent and using artifacts/weapons that provide Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge.
• Her passive grants additional energy recharge, a chance to refund cooking ingredients, and reduces the Pyro RES of enemies hit by Pyronado, amplifying its damage.

Now that you understand Xiangling’s abilities, let’s see how you can maximize them through weapons, artifacts, and team composition.

Recommended Team Compositions

Here are some of Xiangling’s best team comps:

Reverse Vaporize Comp

Xiangling — Tartaglia — Kazuha — Bennett

This is a very traditional Reverse Vaporize setup that is reliable, Competitive, and Flexible at the same time.

Reverse Vaporize VV Setup

Xiangling – Ayato – Zhongli – Bennett

Similar to the Reverse Vape setup it replaces the Anemo Unit. This setup feels more secure thanks to the shields provided by Zhongli but trading the CC and grouping factor of Anemo Units.

The key things to focus on for building the best Xiangling in Genshin Impact are:

• Use Staff of Homa (or The Catch for a 4-star option)
