At the end of the sequence, perform a more powerful slash.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Sweeping Fervor (Elemental Skill): Xinyan brandishes her instrument, dealing Pyro DMG on nearby opponents, forming a shield made out of her audience’s passion.

Riff Revolution (Elemental Burst): Strumming rapidly, Xinyan launches nearby opponents and deals Physical DMG to them, hyping up the crowd. The sheer intensity of the atmosphere will cause explosions that deal Pyro DMG to nearby opponents.

XINYAN BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | DEF% | DEF%/PHYSICAL% | CR/CD%
SHIELD/BURST SUPPORT: This is hands down the best build to get the most use out of Xinyan. You want to focus on her shield then squeeze out damage afterwards. Even though her shield isn’t the strongest, having the Bolide artifacts will help with that. Focus on DEF% then Physical Damage followed by CR and CD. ER is also nice here to get her boost up more, but it’s not necessary since her shield is her E.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best claymores for Xinyan. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.
XINYAN CONSTELLATIONS
Fatal Acceleration (Lvl 1): Upon scoring a CRIT Hit, increases ATK SPD of Xinyan’s Normal and Charged Attacks by 12% for 5s.

Rockin’ in a Flaming World (Lvl 6): Decreases the Stamina Consumption of Xinyan’s Charged Attacks by 30%. Additionally, Xinyan’s Charged Attacks gain an ATK Bonus equal to 50% of her DEF.
STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Xingyan is a very flexible charcter in Genshin Impact.
- She’s really a shield who can also do damage.
- Her 2nd constellation is really great which means you can just focus on CD.
- She’s a quick swap character that doesn’t take up a lot of time, leaving more time for you main dps to deal more damage.
WEAKNESSES
- She really needs the Bolide Artifact to make her a viable shield.
- She doesn’t really excel in any singular field and makes her a little confusing to build.
RANKING
Combat Rating (8/10): Her combat is fun and there’s no caveats to use her. As a burst support you really are just hopping in use your E and Burst when ready.
Exploration (8/10): Claymores are always a welcome asset to exploring the map since they are great for mine ores, crystals, etc.
Spiral Abyss (3/10): Unfortunately, she’s a jack of all trades kind of character making other characters, who specialize, better for this content.
Artifact Farming (6/10): She’s useful here if you don’t need a strong shield but want to do more damage to make the runs faster.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (4/10): The bosses can hit pretty hard and might go through your shield quickly unless you have high investment in her.
