Think About Your Xiao Build With a New Genshin Impact Trailer
When new characters join the
Genshin Impact roster, they get a Collected Miscellany video. Think of it as a way for “Dainsleif” to get you thinking about what they can do. Xiao has one now, and it shows off his moveset so you can start thinking about builds.
This video clarifies just how fast, powerful, and high-risk Xiao can be. The character doesn’t take plunge damage, since so many of his attacks involve using increased jumping ability to dive down to attack enemies. He also has a Gravity Defier passive that allows the whole party to climb for longer periods of time. As for his skills, Lemniscatic Wind Cycling has two charges and lets you dart twice into enemies, either on the ground or in the air. This can be used to attack or essentially fly over brief gaps. Bane of All Evil, his Elemental Burst, has him put his mask on. All of his attack damage goes up, he deals Anemo damage to all enemies, and he can jump higher than usual, but also his health constantly drains. You have to switch to another character to return Xiao to normal.
