Xianyun build summary

Updated August 28, 2026

Angelos' Heptades is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Xianyun's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Crane's Echoing Call, Oathsworn Eye and Skyward Atlas come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Xianyun, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Desert Pavilion Chronicle on Xianyun, with Viridescent Venerer and Song of Days Past behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, Healing Bonus 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 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

The strongest team is Xiao, Faruzan, Furina and Xianyun, built around Xianyun: Anemo · Mono Anemo.

Xianyun FAQ

3 questions

What stat does Xianyun scale on?

Xianyun's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Xianyun?

Angelos' Heptades is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star catalyst with ATK as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Oathsworn Eye is the best 4-star alternative.

Which artifact set should Xianyun use?

Desert Pavilion Chronicle. Its 2-piece bonus is: Anemo DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: When Charged Attacks hit opponents, the equipping character's Normal Attack SPD will increase by 10% while Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will increase by 40% for 15s.
