Xinyan Quick TL;DR Team Comp Guide
Xinyan (She’s got the power of Rock’N Roll)
Element: Pyro
Weapon: Claymore
Pros:
| Consistent pyro proc | E ready 5s after duration ends | Low Q CD (15s) |
|---|---|---|
| Average Q Cost (60) | Good Phys DPS | Passive buffs Phys DMG |
| Constellations are ALL REALLY GOOD FOR DPS | Burst hits really hard (C2 breaks her) | Great as a sub |
Cons:
| E aura is still really buggy | Very low energy regen | Excels with superconduct |
|---|---|---|
| Shield not very reliable | If shield breaks = lose 15% Phys DMG buff |
PSA #1: Xinyan has an identity crisis, but she can still work as a main DPS. She actually has an insanely strong constellation tree, strong Phys DMG buffs/debuffs, and her burst is spammable (C2 is pog). Her team should focus on superconduct and easy energy regen
Who to take (alternatives explained below!):
- Can spam E to give quick pyro particles (swap to Bennett, E, swap to Xinyan)
- Benny Q is an insane buff + high sustain heal
- Can be run as sub DPS as well + pyro resonance buff
- CAN BE REPLACED WITH XIANGLING OR VENTI AS ENERGY GENERATOR
- Oz is excellent at proc’ing electro consistently + frequent energy particles
- Essential for proc’ing superconduct
- Doesn’t require much field time, can be played as turret Support
- CAN BE REPLACED FOR BEIDOU (HER Q) OR LISA WITH TTDS FOR 48% BUFF
- Diona can spam E for quick cryo procs + energy + a much stronger shield
- Essentially for proc’ing superconduct and melt (which is strong)
- Her Q with Bennett Q actually continuously proc’s melt on enemies who enter
- CAN BE REPLACED WITH QIQI OR KAEYA IF YOU WANT TO RUN BENNETT HEALER INSTEAD
PSA #2: Snow-Tombed Starsilver is a really strong weapon for her (especially with this comp). Just remember to hit enemies with E (if you have C2), have shield up, proc superconduct, THEN Xinyan Q to get the full Phys DMG buff cycle. Artifacts: 2-set Bloodstained + 2-set Glad works great
Great flex slot alternatives:
- Venti – Great battery with E spam, and provides amazing AoE CC with his Q for when Xinyan Q’s
- Sucrose – Although EM mules aren’t frequent in superconduct builds, still very helpful + cheap to gear. TTDS is still an extremely strong buff and justified to take by itself
- Kaeya – E spam can provide great energy + consistent Cryo proc’s. Only issue is Kaeya E can proc melt before superconduct if Xinyan E has aura activated
- Beidou – Her Q is a reliable source of electro proc, and extremely easy to spread + Beidou E can be used to break geo shields fairly quickly
- Any Catalyst user – TTDS is extremely easy to run, and particularly nice for Xinyan Q nuke windows
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS BELOW! I’ll try my best to respond as I know some players may not have ANY of the characters mentioned
Hope this helped. Bye.

How about 2 PF + 2 BC?
2x PF + 2 BC works great (only if you’re running her as a burst DPS though)
Do you think that if I get Kazuha, he can support Xinyan well? or do you think that he is not good? I currently have xinyan, beidou, diona, and xiangling but I really like kazuha’s aesthetic and playstyle but I am worried if it will not be a good team comp.
I can’t currently disclose full info on Kazuha since I’m signed under NDA as a CC and CBT member, but my general hint/direction is he’ll be much better suited for main DPS than supporting!
Hi, so I have Xinyan, Xiangling, Amber, Beidou, Kaeya, Barbara, and Xinqiu. I have c1 Kaeya and Xinqiu, so do you think considering that the best team comp is Xinyan, Xiangling, Xinqiu, and Barbara or should I switch out Xinqiu for Kaeya or Beidou because I know with two hydros, it will give the elemental resonance as well.
Also, with the new event, I might get c1 beidou as well, but I’m not sure what’s the best team comp with the members and constellations I have.
Hydro resonance is a bit weak, and not really too worth considering, but Xingqiu does provide considerable off-field DPS for characters like Xinyan. Ultimately it’s up to you. Melt technically does perform a bit better than vaporize, since applying Pyro AFTER Cryo proc is a guaranteed 2x damage (where vaporize is 1.5x). Plus when paired with Barb, you can sort of pull off a freeze comp with Barb E + Kaeya E/Q as well.
Okay thank you, that’s what I ended up deciding would be best as well! 🙂
Raiden Shogun sounds like a good swap for Fischl for this team. You could perhaps do both the job of an anemo battery and an electro applier with her since she generates a lot of energy for her team?
Yep! The only trade off being Fischl can do more damage with Oz, but with Raiden you can control who you hit/target. Plus Fischl can have downtime on her procs, whereas Raiden is up 100%
