Best
Staff Of The Scarlet Sands
CRIT Rate 44.1% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT Rate makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Stacks give ATK bonus from a percentage of total EM (max 3 stacks) └ Xiangling is great with both ATK & EM stats
2nd
Staff Of Homa
CRIT DMG 66.2% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT DMG makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Universal polearm that is great for most polearm users - Gain ATK bonus from a percentage of max HP └ Gain another ATK bonus when HP is below 50%
3rd
Wavebreaker's Fin
ATK 13.8% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team
F2P
The Catch
Energy Recharge 45.9% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Increases Elemental Burst DMG & its CRIT Rate - Fishing-exclusive weapon which makes it guaranteed to R5
F2P
Missive Windspear
ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage └ Gain additional ATK% & EM% when triggering an elemental reaction - Event-exclusive weapon which makes it easy to R5
6th
Dragon's Bane
Elemental Mastery 221 (Lvl. 90) - EM stat increases elemental reaction damage └ Stronger damage when triggering vaporize - Aesthetically good for Xiangling
7th
Lithic Spear
ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Can provide additional ATK% & CRIT Rate └ Passive is situational since it only takes effect when team members hail from Liyue
All Polearms Are Viable But Go For CRIT Stat
While all existing polearms are viable for Xiangling, it is recommended to aim for CRIT stat as much as possible since it is the best stat for a damager. Nevertheless, it is great to use a polearm that can provide a lot of damage multipliers and whose passive can be maximized by Xiangling.

Xiangling
Bennett

Kazuha
Details

Make sure to use her Burst while inside Bennett's circle to snapshot the buff.- Childe is a great as an on-field DPS with Xiangling since Childe will be able to deal powerful Vaporize damage consistently.- Kazuha will buff the damage of Childe and Xiangling.
Other Characters That Works With Xiangling

Sub
Details
Bennett
JeanDiona
- Jean is a more direct replacement for Bennett. However, she doesn't have the ATK buff, but can instead provide Elemental Shred- Diona will change the dynamic of the team slightly since it will be Freeze/Melt. If you have her at C6, she can provide a hefty Elemental Mastery buff
Childe
NeuvilletteAyatoLyney
- Neuvillete and Ayato are great replacements for Childe since they all can fill the on-field Hydro Main DPS role- Alternatively, Xiangling works great as a Pyro Sub-DPS even for Mono Comps such as with Lyney
Kazuha
SucroseLynetteVenti
- Sucrose is a direct replacement for Kazuha- Venti on the other hand is best against enemies that are light/small since he can group them. Against other enemies, he's not that effective

Uses Of Xiangling's Elemental Skill
Get Attack Boost From Guoba's Chili
Additionally, Guoba will also leave behind a chili that will give an Attack Boost to whoever eats it. Use this whenever you're looking to start combos!
Apply Pyro Resistance Debuff
Enemies hit by Guoba will receive a Pyro Resistance Down debuff. This should be an opener for you to ensure the most damage out of Xiangling's Burst. This is unlockable at C1
Gives Ample Energy For Burst
Each hit of Guoba's firey breath gives energy to Xiangling. Although with low Energy Recharge, it can't fully charge Xiangling's Burst, it's still a reliable way of getting energy to her.
Uses Of Xiangling's Elemental Burst
Constant Elemental Reaction
Xiangling's Burst is one of the best skills when it comes to getting Elemental Reactions since it has no internal cooldown. All of her hits will proc Elemental Reaction. Use it when you're ready with either your main DPS or enabler to proc reactions.
Works Well With Buffs
Any buffs that are applied to Xiangling when her Burst is activated stay all though out the Elemental Burst period. Make sure to buff Xiangling before activating her Elemental Burst to maximize her damage.
Xiangling Wish & Constellation Guide
Should You Get Or Wish For Xiangling?
Xiangling Is A Free Character
Xiangling can be obtained upon clearing Spiral Abyss Floor 3. She is a great off-field Pyro DPS that can increase the ATK & Pyro DMG of the whole team.
Her constellations can be obtained in all banners and limited banners that feature Xiangling. Although Xiangling's constellation improves her DPS capabilities, it is not recommended to aim for Xiangling when pulling unless Xiangling's rate is boosted.
