Overview
Xiao spends HP during a long Anemo plunge window enabled by his Burst. Prepare Energy, lasting buffs and healing before entry, because switching away ends the state.
Role
Burst-state Anemo plunge attacker
Playstyle
Set up sustain and buffs first, then remain active for the Burst plunge window.
Why It Works
The Burst changes attack damage and movement; plunge multipliers still belong to the Normal Attack talent.
Watch For
Continuous HP loss needs healing or a safe plan; shielding alone does not restore spent HP.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
Support buffs → battery particles toward Xiao → two Skills → Burst → jump-plunges; weave Normals only for teammate triggers.
Key Notes
Use Skill charges before Burst to catch their particles after spending energy.
His Burst ends on switching out.
Dedicated Anemo batteries reduce downtime.
C6’s extra Skills require hitting at least two enemies.
