Xiao Best Team Compositions

Xiao is an Anemo character, therefore pairing him up with electro, cyro, pyro, and geo will benefit his DPS skills tremendously. You need characters who will support his elemental blasts and that can heal along the way. With all the characters that Genshin Impact has to offer you would think it’s impossible to figure out who can fight alongside Xiao the best. That’s why we couldn’t pick just one character to keep on your team. We picked a few team compositions you won’t regret. Here are the best team compositions for Xiao in Genshin Impact.

Free-to-Play Xiao Team Compositions

If you’re not looking to spend tons of primogems on team mates, you’re going to want to follow this guide on who to add to your team. When you’re thinking of free-to-play you’re going to want to find the easiest team to use. Think of characters such as Sucrose, Bennett, Fischl, and Xiao. You need to use Xiao as your main DPS. Bennett would be your healer in this situation, followed by Sucrose and Fischl, taking the lead as crowd control and an additional DPS. This is a great team to use, especially if you have sets of their artifacts to give them all bonuses.

Xiao Team Compositions: Yelan

In this team composition you’re going to want to keep Yelan and Xiao in the mix. Why is this? It’s because Yelan has an attack called “Adapt With Ease” and this will grant her bonuses, and her team, to make her stronger. This also helps out Xiao because he will already be attacking as a DPS. That additional bonus will greatly impact how Xiao performs on the field. Other characters you could think about having are Bennett or Diona. Bennet for his healing and Diona for her precious shields. You could also think about tagging in Sucrose for additional support.

Xiao Team Compositions: XiangLing

Genshin Impact Tohma

Two is better than one and for this team we’re going to focus on adding XiangLing and Thoma in the mix. Thoma will give everyone shields, whereas XiangLing, can work alongside with Xiao as they both chaotically fight enemies as DPS characters. Additionally, if you use Rosaria, you could have her use her passive which involves a less critical rate for Xiao. Honestly, we would probably go with the Xiao, XiangLing, and Thoma team composition.

Xiao Team Compositions: Zhong Li

It seems like we’re going to talk about Bennett and Xiao a lot these days. Adding Bennett to your party with Zhong Li and Xiao is a great alternative to the other team compositions we’ve mentioned. Bennett will serve as the healer, whereas Zhong Li will give you shields to protect yourself. If you want to give Zhong Li additional powers you should try pairing him up with an artifact called Tenacity of Millelith. This will give Zhong Li extra bonuses when he’s attacking enemies. You can pick any other characters you want on the team as long as you have this unstoppable trio.

Xiao Team Compositions: Fischl

We love electro characters. This portion is going to praise both Fischl and the Raiden. Reason why we’re choosing electro characters is because of their battery powers. They are useful when recharging energy and raising their stats to God tier gives them main character energy. If you’re wanting to create this sort of team you’re going to want to pair Xiao up with Fischl, Raiden, a healer, and any other players you want to pick from. Just as long as you have those electro character you’re good to go. The Raiden can provide healing abilities, as well as, a secondary damage character.
