Why should you get Xiangling in Genshin Impact?

In Genshin Impact, Xiangling is the head chef at Liyue’s Wanmin Restaurant. She fancies making spicy dishes and usually experiments with exotic ingredients to come up with new surprising food. Although her use of dubious food items can sometimes result in not-so-pleasant results, the skills are what make the character desirable. Here’s why we should get Xiangling:

1. Makes enemies flinch

This character attacks with a strike flurry and can flinch the opponents, making them stop attacking temporarily. What’s more, as she attacks non-stop, she can work extremely well with items that boost auto-attack.

As she has one of the speediest attacks in Genshin Impact, you can pull off diverse combos as well as attack variations. Because of this, Xiangling owns high mobility and is amazing at evading.

Looking cute but her skills cannot be underestimated.

2. Powerful Burst and Elemental Skill

Both the Elemental Skill and Burst capabilities of Genshin Impact Xiangling are put out on the area and maintain there even when she has swapped out. This means she is ideal for provoking Pyro-regarded reactions.

3. Best team

Xiangling is an A-level character with 4 stars and a mid-level Support role in the squad. Compared to Fischl, she is not used much when building teams. Having said that, if you know how to build her, especially combing her with a Fire elemental DPS, Xiangling can maximize her ability as well as create more special reactions that support the whole team when fighting.

One of the best team for Xiangling in Genshin Impact includes Xiangling, Bennett, Sucrose, and Rosaria.

This is one example of the best team with Xiangling.

While Xiangling deals Physical Attacks or Pyro to opponents, Bennett will boost her attacks with buff and resonance from Burst. Meanwhile, Rosaria spreads Cryo which lets Pyro Xiangling handle Melt DMG. Last but not least, Sucrose is responsible for gathering enemies and buff the team to clear the enemies off faster.
