Xiangling build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

Engulfing Lightning is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Xiangling's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Calamity Queller, Wavebreaker's Fin and Skyward Spine come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Xiangling, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Crimson Witch of Flames on Xiangling, with Celestial Gift and Silken Moon's Serenade behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

The strongest team is Sangonomiya Kokomi, Xiangling, Kaedehara Kazuha and Bennett, built around Xiangling: Pyro · Vaporize.

What element is Xiangling?

Xiangling is a 4-star Pyro character from Liyue who uses a polearm, released in version 1.0.

What is the best weapon for Xiangling?

Engulfing Lightning is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Wavebreaker's Fin is the best 4-star alternative.

Which artifact set should Xiangling use?

Crimson Witch of Flames. Its 2-piece bonus is: Pyro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using Elemental Skill increases the 2-Piece Set Bonus by 50% of its starting value for 10s. Max 3 stacks.

How much does it cost to level Xiangling's talents?

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Diligence among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
