Xiao Best Teams and Team Compositions

Xianyun is Xiao's best support. If you have to invest in one character for your Xiao, she is the best choice. Xianyun requires little field time and increases massively Xiao's plunge DMG. She increases PLunging Attack CRIT Rate, increases plunging DMG by up to 9000, increases his jump height, and also grants some healing.

Faruzan is the second best support for Xiao. She offers Anemo RES Shred, and raises Xiao's DMG. However, she ideally needs to be C6. Before that, she will lose a lot of value.

If you do not have Xianyun or Faruzan, these options are perfectly viable as well. They all provide enough particle generation for Xiao, while also granting some buffs, healing, or shields.

Furina is great in Xiao's teams. She provides a lot of off-field DMG alongside buffs. However, you will need to run a healer like Xianyun or Jean with Furina. Furina needs a healer to generate Fanfare stacks for her DMG buff, but also as she manipulates your HP, Xiao can become very fragile.

Zhongli is a good option if you want a strong shield that can remain up for the entire time during Xiao's Burst. His shield not only protects Xiao efficiently, but also provides RES Shred, Geo Resonance, and some Crowd Control. Using Zhongli allows you to build a team with one more Anemo, and a Geo off-field DPS such as Chiori or Albedo.

If you want to go for more team DMG and less support focused on Xiao, you can go for a double Anemo/Pyro team. You will need Bennett and team him with another Pyro DPS for the additional 25% Attack from Pyro resonance as well as any other support they provide. You can use DPS such as Mavuika or Xiangling
