Genshin Impact’s pyro-fueled rockstar can really pack a punch with high DPS output she can also perform a supportive role, equipping her with the right weapons and artifacts amplify those inherent abilities.<\/p>\n

Genshin Impact Xinyan guide<\/h2>\n

Weapons<\/h3>\n

If you want to run Xinyan primarily for her DPS you have a lot of Claymore options open to you (lists and community discussions have over 12 viable options), if you want to edge her more towards a supportive, shielding role you are going to have a slightly narrower field to work with.<\/p>\n

Whatever your priorities, here are some of the frontrunners:<\/p>\n

Skyward Pride<\/strong><\/p>\n

A relatively balanced option that favours Xinyan’s Elemental Burst: more Energy Recharge plus a hefty damage amp from Sky-ripping Dragon Spine and its vacuum blades mean this build is great for blitzing opponents after using Riff Revolution. Great for burst heavy play styles that aren’t as focused around consistent damage.<\/p>\n

The Unforged<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"xinyan

<\/strong><\/p>\n

A weapon made for Noelle and Xinyan. Stacking damage and a 20% shield strength increase is a match made in heaven for a Xinyan that wants to be on the field for an extended period. It’ll still work in a quick-swap or low-field time build for Xinyan but you don’t get as much work done with Golden Majesty.<\/p>\n

Even better, it’s currently got a massively upped drop rate on the current Epitome Invocation Banner. Catch it while you can!<\/p>\n

Sacrificial Greatsword<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Best
<\/strong>(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

The best option for a supportive Xinyan – Energy Recharge means more Elemental Bursts, and Composed means a significant amount more shielding via refunded Elemental Skill cooldowns. In other words, exactly what you’re after from a weapon.<\/p>\n

If you are in need of a non-rolled option, consider Prototype Animus<\/strong>. It favours a damage heavy build, but it is both forgeable and effective so it is a worthy candidate to consider.<\/p>\n

Artifacts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"xinyan<\/strong>(Picture: miHoYo)<\/span><\/p>\n

The simplest artifact set-up to run on Liyue’s first (and only) rockstar is 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale<\/strong> with  2-piece Bloodstained Chivalry<\/strong>. Attack and Physical DMG amps work well for both a main DPS and sub DPS build – the latter working particularly well if you want to be quick-swapping between characters a lot. <\/p>\n

You can switch out the 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale for 2-piece Noblesse Oblige<\/strong> for a more burst damage and supportive build, trading out some consistent damage for a 20% increase in Elemental Burst DMG.<\/p>\n
