Despite Xiangling being one of the starter characters that came out with Genshin Impact, it can be argued that only a few Pyro units have been able to go toe to toe with her when it comes to the many weapon options she has, the simplicity and ease of use, and the near-unbeatable amounts of Pyro application and damage that she can output without needing to be on-field for more than 3 seconds. This not only makes her a robust and simple unit in a game with growing mechanics, but makes her efficient and effective as Xiangling only needs to be invested into once and can be slotted into any and every team afterwards. When comparing Xiangling to other Pyro DPS units, one advantage that Xiangling has over the others is that she does not have to be On-Field to perform, meaning her supportive capability skyrockets, and her damage ceilings far surpass the other Pyro Sub-DPS units by virtue of her Pyronado's long duration. In high-level content, this makes her a highly sought after Pyro teammate, and makes her viable in nearly every situation where the enemy is not resistant or immune to Pyro. 5.1 Tier List
