Shared Team Members

XiaoXiao

With Faruzan

Xiao is the primary beneficiary of Faruzan's kit, gaining massive Anemo DMG bonuses and RES shred that are essential for his high-plunge damage. Faruzan also acts as a dedicated battery, helping Xiao maintain the high energy requirements of his Burst.

With Sayu

Xiao provides the on-field presence that Sayu supports with her healing and occasional Swirl reactions. Sayu's Elemental Burst provides a safe zone for Xiao to perform his plunges, while her Anemo particles help keep his Burst ready.
