⚡ Why This Build Works
Xiao excels as a Main DPS because On-field plunge DPS — high AoE damage during burst.. The combination of Vermillion Hereafter (4pc) / 2pc VV + 2pc ATK with Primordial Jade Winged-Spear maximizes their damage output, while the recommended substats (CRIT Rate/DMG > ATK% > ER%) ensure optimal stat distribution for the current meta.
