Xinyan Overview
  • Xinyan’s Elemental Skill, “Sweeping Fervor” deals physical AoE damage and grants a shield scaled on her DEF. 
  • Her burst, “Riff Revolution” unleashes pyro pulsing AoE attacks.
  • Her C2 makes her shield stronger and cleanses. C4 increases her physical damage. And C6 boosts her burst’s crit rate.
  • Xinyan’s passives boost her physical damage and charged attack capability. Rockin’ Riff gives a physical damage bonus when her shield from Sweeping Fervor is active. Impromptu Opening makes her charged attacks more efficient and resistant to interruption. And Blazing Axe increases the talent level of her skill Sweeping Fervor.
  • Overall, her passives complement her physical damage dealer and shielder capabilities. The physical damage bonus and reduced charged attack stamina cost synergize well with a main DPS build that focuses on normal and charged attack damage. While the skill level increase makes her shield stronger for a support build.
