she's STRONGER? UPDATED Xinyan Guide – Artifacts, Weapons, Teams & Tips | Genshin Impact 2.8



Xinyan is overdue for an updated guide within the community given the new gear and gameplay sheโ€™s gained access to over Inazumaโ€™s 8 patch lifespan, so this video will cover and explain everything you need to know regarding Xinyan in 2.8 Genshin Impact!

โ€”โ€“

REGARDING THOMA & YUN JIN:

Thoma and Yun Jin both require Xinyan to consistently use normal attacks to make the most of their kits (Blazing barrier shields with Thoma and NA DMG increases with Yun Jin) which generally goes against Xinyanโ€™s playstyle in which she utilizes her charged attacks.

While you CAN flex these normal attack-based supports into Xinyanโ€™s team โ€“ especially Yun Jin โ€“ itโ€™s difficult to warrant using them over other teams because in order to USE their buffs, you have to cut out other means of potentially high DPS for Xinyan, ESPECIALLY when sheโ€™s at c6 and benefits from the increased flat ATK whilst charged attacking.

Finally, the other problem is that as a melee user, Xinyanโ€™s hitlag prevents her from noticably enjoying ATK speed buffs, and her already low ATK speed is what makes her less powerful with Yun Jin than other, faster DPS users are.

This is not to say you CANโ€™T use Thoma and/or Yun Jin with Xinyan, but they arenโ€™t optimal on her, especially when considering certain circumstances such as c6 Xinyan, or the fact that Bennett simply provides everything Xinyan needs in a buffer for every scenario.

  1. For reference my talent 9 196 cdmg 104% phys dmg xinyan does roughly 39k with superconduct on pyro regisvine. Using broken pines as weapon (no passive) and 4 set pale (no passive). Point is if Oz at 140 cdmg and no other buffs can crit for 5k+ every second you start to realize maybe she's good not because SHE is good, but because she can work with broken supports fairly easily. In other words she's still bad, but she does have options. Also, sometimes we just need a bad b in our lives.

  2. I used her as dps on my early days of playing genshin but one thing that literally made me hate her soo much was her skill cooldown its insanely high for the shield strength it provides, the shield goes down fast and the CD is long that's where the problem starts

  3. The c6 charge attack cancel into burst trick isn't working for me, as soon as you dash, you lose the def > atk buff. The c6 buff only looks like it lingers because the charge attack get up animation is so long

  4. i used to main her earlier on in the game but kind of benched her despite being lvl 80 with respectable talents – now that you mentioned it, i'm super tempted to c6 my bennett and shred everything… but i'm still not sure if it's a good idea

  5. Xinyan is my absolute favorite character, I adore her personality and design, and I love how versatile and easy she is to build, and how many creative teams she can fit in. Thank you for this wonderful video, so many great tips and builds, I'm excited to try it all ^^

  6. I can't see xinyan the same anymore after seeing a xinyan with 300cd, level 8 burst, full party buffs, and food buffs not even oneshot the cryo regisvine

  7. Redhorn was released in 2.3, more than a half a year ago… And it's a 5* gatcha weapon… Artifacts presented are even older and I see nothing grounbreaking for Xinyan here. Excuse me, in what way she became stronger??? And when??? I'm asking honestly, did I miss something in the video? As for teams, it was presented kinda fast for me, so not sure, but I don't see any new and amazing synergies for Xinyan. I see nothing like fixes for geo and healers, new synergies like Yun Jin with characters like Yoimiya, etc. As I understand, only really good (but still not ideal) upgrade is 5* Redhorn from previous year… It looks amazing on her though ๐Ÿ‘ Well, I guess guide is really nice, but from title that turned out to be clickbaity I was expecting something else and more up to date than showing content from previous year… And yeah, nice there are more things we can play with and that work together, at least to some degree. Have fun!
