Making Xinyan A Main DPS to Spite the Meta

[@TarZBlammo]

Please read before making a comment! The purpose of this video is just to show that even the least used characters can potentially fully clear abyss. While I do make multiple jabs towards the meta, it is mostly in jest (especially since I use nationals on the other half of abyss). Apologies for potentially making you all feel as if playing meta is completely wrong, that wasn't my intention. Hopefully that clears some things up and just play the characters you like!

[@zainahmed3492]

A catalyst that buffs physical dmg 👌

[@pr_manofsteel]

As a Xinyan main myself, her charge attacks deal more damage than her basics, and the Red horn improves charge attack damage as well. That would improve her DPS. Great show case!

[@tinkerer3399]

I'm really hoping for something to buff claymore charged attacks. They are neat but completely useless unless you are using Itto or Redhorn Xinyan. EDIT: Or healer Noelle I suppose.

[@theblacksakura8732]

Nah I like noelle with yunjin she better off with normals unless your desperate for heals or against that many small enemies

[@tinkerer3399]

@The Black Sakura Yep , that's why I specified "Healer Noelle". A niche build where Noelle only comes out to heal, is usually equipped with a Fav sword, and is there to just heal, generate particles, and get out as fast as possible. Although come to think of it in that build you wouldn't be buffing her so I suppose it wouldn't be useful for her after all lol.

one of her biggest mess in my opinion is she's a physical burst dps but with pyro vision instead of electro nor cryo, which make is so difficult

One thing that I liked about farming for Xinyan (especially with Redhorn) was instead of being completely disappointed when you get some Def you are only mostly disappointed. It's like "Okay, this at least does SOMETHING." When I'm not using an Itto/Noelle team Redhorn lives on Xinyan.

Can’t say I’ve seen a 9 star xinyan clear before in this abyss. Even with her kit’s fundamental issues, you persevered. Very well done👏👏👏

[@dominicjannazo7144]

She's pretty okay as a sub DPS with Hu Tao. She gives pyro resonance and battery, and just shows up to burst between main rotations. Are there better? Yeah, but she doesn't wreck the main core of Hu/XQ, Zhongli. But that's not what this video is about

[@iyusuarkhan6554]

As a Xinyan main that only ever strives for 9stars using her, I have to flex the fact that she is capable enough. Although my editing skills are lacking, I'll make my own Xinyan showcase video soon, showing what a high investment Xinyan can do. So far, almost all Abyss rotations were more than possible to do with Xinyan, and there were only a few exceptions, like when it was stuffed to the brim with Abyss Lectors.

[@WastedTalent83]

but that's the point, you need to put A LOT of effort, to do things other char can do with zero effort. Its only normal that people will not play those character, a game is supposed to be "fun" not a chore, not stressful because you have to put 10x the effort to have the same result. Then of course SOME people will still do it and have fun doing it. But that's as the % suggest XD 0.1%

[@lightishredgummi]

@@WastedTalent83 and that's the thing. if you love the character, it's probably not gonna feel like a chore to build them. there's enough characters that most players probably aren't gonna feel forced to build a character they don't even like unless they let meta pressure get to them. genshin is generally too easy to always pick one character over another based _solely_ on strength/utility, you've gotta let pure attachment and enjoyment win out at some point. if you don't like a character enough to build them as strong as you want, just build a different character. it's literally THAT easy. if it ever feels like a chore, you're doing it wrong.

[@WastedTalent83]

@@lightishredgummi well you are mostly right. But when the character you love UNDER perform way too much , that's a huge problem. i do get character cause i like them , i don't care about meta, but if a character suck so much that i can't use it in abyss because its so bad AND its a 5 star, i take that as pretty bad and a reason not to pull for it, unless i get it by mistake while trying to get a 4 star from the same banner. There should be a limit to how bad a character get nerfed. Ok that we don't want power creep, i don't want it either, its super bad for free players, but at least do the character as strong as the previous one or a little less. not "comparable to Xinyan" sort of thing XD

The effort this man puts in his videos is amazing !!

[@sixteenthbluemoon7606]

unconsciously, I contributed to the Razor usage rate when I did the first half of Abyss yesterday. "He's meant to by Physical!" "Yeah, so fucking what? He's got electro in his kit, might as well use that part of him too." It paid off for my attempts of clearing Abyss 12 first half. As someone who has a fellow character in the low usage rate, welcome to the actual epic players club.

[@HMSNeptun]

His kit was supposed to superconduct to do physical damage(shred physical resist), his electro damage was negligible, even with aggravate, due to the slow elemental application and a stat that does not compliment his kit(EM vs Physical damage). NOT saying he is bad, but there are just objectively better characters to meet abyss 12-3-1 electro requirements, who can bring more to a team: keqing who has higher damage, kuki, who can heal, zara, who can buff other team members If you already have razor built as a main DPS, then go ahead and use him, but if you are building him just because of the electro requirements... Either way its your account, you decide how to play

[@sixteenthbluemoon7606]

@@HMSNeptun I care more about who I want to use. Yeah, you can say much about who's better but it depends on who you have built. also for the record Razor was my pal for ever since 1.0. I'm just dumbfounded on how people couldn't have seen his half/half potential, yeah call that dividing his power but even I cleared previous abysses with him being Pyro/Electro while wielding an electro grail. The game is too piss easy for there to be an actual way to play him. I could've given him a pyro grail when he was with C6 Bennett but the fact he worked with an electro cup despite going Pyro or even electro/physical proves their viability going for uncommon comps.

[@HMSNeptun]

@@sixteenthbluemoon7606 You already have him built as main DPS and benefit from the requirements in abyss, which is great! The thing is, with hybrid scaling on some characters(or their kit) is that they are the master of none. Genshin's team has 4 characters and a character with a split kit would in most cases never outperform one with a fully dedicated kit. For example Noelle vs Itto Yes, Noelle is completely wicked after her C6, but her damage would still be less than that of Itto all else being equal. With the same supports, a more dedicated character requires much less investment(time, mora, and primogems, etc) This is why 'meta' develops and some characters fall out of favor, since resources are limited and there is a limit on how much characters you can build especially f2p. As for difficulty, Genshin's difficulty would remain, as a lot of players plays on a mobile phone that don't have precise controls and smooth performance as on PC, which makes everything harder. Mhy will have to cater to those players, otherwise they may receive severe backlash.

[@sixteenthbluemoon7606]

@@HMSNeptun Both Tech and Skill issue then, aight. So what if he's not so efficient at split scaling, the fact he worked should be a beacon of hope for many other players who want to make their favorite characters work no matter how insane/outlandish the setup is. To set myself back, admittedly I am a dolphin that aims to C6 one of my favorite characters, but if you got literal whales who can't even play the game well to save their lives, what's not to say those at the lower stratum can't keep up right? However I do believe we should get more currency since we have to hang on tight via. events and it's a pain.

[@GA-eh4nl]

Appreciate people give Xinyan more love, she is a wholesome character:)

[@BlueTrapinch]

wow this was awesome, the effort put into the build is impressive. I just slapped as much def on my xinyan as i could.

[@NeoSlashott]

There is one kit in common for XInyan and that is 4pcs Noblesse according to her Trial kit. Xinyan Burst CD are in Sync with those 4pcs Noblesse artifact passive at least to keep %20 attack up and spam burst again when needed to. DEF builds ( along with Crit Rate/Dmg substats ) is her main factor only for sturdy shields and her c6 Constellation charge attacks equal to 50% of her total Def. Like for example if you have 4k DEF divided by 2 = you gain 2k attack in snapshot. This works well even you don't have attack substat Claymores, any Claymores you love to have fun experimenting. 😁

[@TarZBlammo]

For sure, that's because Xinyan is better suited to be a sub-dps: drop burst, get out. Her on-field damage isn't bad, but there are characters that have significantly better on-field damage than her.

[@natsuyuki8415]

Thank you! People keep asking: "Is Character X good?" and don't like my answer that they all are good if properly built and in a right team. Next time I can just direct them here. It would be nice to see some of the neglected characters excel as supports as well. So many care only about DPS power and thrash the supports for not doing enough damage.

The support idea sounds very interesting. It's a bit hard to showcase properly tho. For example, kuki in this video was doing significant off field damage with overload procs, but I don't think many people really noticed that.

One obscure thing that I discovered with Xinyan is that, although they're easy enough to break anyways, cryo shields immediately get melted (haha) by her burst from the constant application of pyro. Even though it's not as effective damage-wise against Abyss Mages due to her dealing physical damage at the start of her burst, it's still pretty good against Frostarm Lawrachurls, and maybe even against the new Frost Fall Abyss Herald.

[@Am4t3r4su]

Honestly would like to see more math done for her C6 usage since she scales a lot more off defense then physical overall. More defense = beef shield and crazy damage on her charge attack. But getting a good balance of crit rate and damage + the defense is difficult.

[@TarZBlammo]

So her C6 just makes charged attacks the way to go hands down, the sheet calcs were for non-C6. As for the scaling, assuming you have redhorn, def becomes just as valuable as atk with respect to charged attacks damage. You sacrifice a bit of burst damage, but it's potentially worth to use a def% sands.

kinda funny. the exact reason why I even stumbled across this video is that I have 3 good physical goblet pieces (high CV) and Xinyan came to mind while trying to have her equip it as a placeholder for future physical damage dealers. It's also worth noting that her c1, c4, and c6 pretty much promote her as a "Charged attack" main damage dealer that wants to scale with Def% (only works if you have her c6) but also atk%. You also get bonus atk speed on crit. *So it kinda begs the question if doing normal attacks > CA or not. I can't tell because I don't have her built*

Noelle went from basically nothing to triple 9 talents, and I'm working to crown her normal attacks now. I'll be honest though, every day while spending my resin I wonder if I'm just wasting my time. I could just finish my EC team, turn it into a hyperbloom team, and 36 star abyss easy... But this video has given me some hope. I don't want to give up on Noelle.

I love that pretty much every character can be viable if you WANT them to be. sure, some take more building to complete the same content, but it's not much of a chore if you really like the character. I've seen some people say "there's no reason to pick X character over Y character" but... where's the fun in playing a character if you don't LIKE them?? heck, it looks like the ONLY characters I have and actually LIKE that have over 10% usage recently are Xiao and Wanderer. I don't care for completing spiral abyss but if I did, I would GLADLY spend extra time building "bad" characters that I love (such as Razor and Heizou) just to complete it with THEM, since I personally care more about playing characters I like than clearing optional content.

[@irrationalsense]

This was fantastic! And screw the meta! See this is the kind of stuff I love to see and that I would love to see done more widely. There are so many characters in Genshin Impact, all with unique skills and interesting gameplay. Why not explore that potential? I think this is a pretty convincing presentation of what Xinyan can do, especially since you let her shine without using Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Bennett. (Who are _fine_, but it's a fact that they are used a lot.) It shows what the character can do when you build her and modestly invest in her, which is it a lot, as it turns out. :) I'd love to see more videos like this from time to time. It reminds me a lot of your Geo MC video. Who knows, maybe it'll get more popular? I'm still working through the game myself, and this sort of thing makes me want to see what I can do with Chongyun and Candace. :) Thanks again for the great video!

Seeing the unactivated constellations is REALLY encouraging, because I have these characters and I have really good 2pc/2pc Physical set on my C6 Xinyan, but I've never managed to get her Physical damage this high. Maybe I should give it a try! (leveling up Redhorn would probs also help, lmfao)

[@jacksmallwood1507]

As a Xinyan Main, i love this video. I c6’d my benny for her, i got itto’s weapon for her. I double crowned her (as of right now), i farmed the best artefacts I can for her 70/220. I normally run her in phys 🙏

[@jacksmallwood1507]

I also recommend Yun-jin instead of Zhongli for the extra damage. (My yun-jun is almost c6 luckily) gotta dodge more without zhongli sadly :(

[@NotEilahthan]

This was so good u earned urself a sub :D

[@KyoFanDuB]

As a person who was main Xinyan i can tell that you did a great job with her. In fact, i do similar numbers with C6 and a 4 star weapon.

[@CoolGrovyle]

I dig Xinyan a lot because she is a rock star, she is a musician and also together with Noelle they hold their claymore in very unique way in idle stance :3 (Left hand grip, right hand open supporting hilt) Which is trait by medium claymore females :D Now I probably will not give Xinyan Noelle's Stonethresher, but at least I see that bloodstained/pale flame works on her :3 Now she wields Noelle's old Whiteblind :3 Not exactly that much of a DPS weapon, but I guess she will love Serpent Spine which I leveled up to 90 for Noelle to use, but later that Stonethresher came :D

[@MrKappaKappaPsi]

Excellent job. It is funny to me that people will find a way to hate on a video they clicked on and watched.

[@rolfvictormabao5942]

Her constellation allows you to deal big physical dmg, and even her C2 physical dmg burst, can crit all the time.. XINYAN I LOVE UU

[@koobiez7145]

damn 36* in this hell abyss with Xinyan. you got my respect man

[@ashimaruexai]

As a Xinyan main it makes me happy ! She was my first 4* with wgs !

[@bencegergohocz5988]

This man doesn't activate cons cause they make the game easy but he mines the artifact domains for god artifacts like his life depends on it. He also had a 5star weapon on Xinyan but not C6, that would go too far.

[@kurishiko881]

Thank you for the awesome video! A happy Xinyan main here 🥰❤

[@ArthurLodar]

she was my first main dps and now she's on the side for now until i c6 her (she's at c5 rn) because i just love her

[@Aggrofire]

i have a suggestion if i may. ive always wanted to see someone clear abyss with dps sucrose; im a dps sucrose main and she's .. hard to build but very fun. although, since she's a catalyst she's a little clunky, especially if you don't like playing main dps catalysts. she can do some BIG damage though. great video btw lol, i love xinyan and i also have her build. edit: i spelled dps TWO times out of like 3 in this comment and just now realized... im humiliated.

[@chromiiayt3044]

Desert Pavilion Sucrose with Tulaytullah’s could be interesting

[@sniperlizard4192]

This proves if you built any character properly they can be very good.

[@thathelleater1895]

Considering I'm part of the 1% this made me really happy to stumble across. You were very much correct in the best viable rotation being auto canceling. She tears even without C4, so when you do get it it's a game changer. I don't have Redhorn but I was lucky enough to get R1 Unforged and paired with 4pc GF (one phys DMG bonus) and was hittin' 20k plus at talent lvl 9. Girl's not only a beast but she's so fun to play. Also every bit of DEF helps because in co-op Zhongli shield may not be as......obtainable? Also if you have Shiki Koshou that's extra good luck! This video made my day. Now build Aloy LMAO

[@michaelbean3775]

I think she made to be charge attacker in mind, especially c6. Bloodstained chivalry is designed for her.

[@AzureJoems]

honestly, you farming artifacts is the most painful thing to watch and so incredibly relatable

[@Kaghtaviy]

9:04 Feels good to know that I'm not the only one who suffers from the slippery wolflord

[@rysiespuffs]

XINYAN MAINS RISE!!!!!!

[@theblacksakura8732]

Good showcase but tbh I use charge atk myself and get similar numbers to your normals… but to be fair I do see way bigger numbers from her normals but I got a mix 2pc atk sets so have way more atk to scale from and song of broken pines to make up a lil bit for no extra physical. But I can get 36k on final hit of charged attack, about 24k during the charged atk, and between 25k to 38k normals so yea I don’t regret building my xinyan at all but the amount of theory crafting you have to be comfortable with just to try her out did make me feel like I was going crazy at first. I’m still questioning my build now despite the damage😅

[@TarZBlammo]

Charged attacks and normals do about the same, normals can do a bit more (~2%). This is assuming you don't have Xinyan C6 though, charged attacks do more with C6 active for sure.

[@anderzen.uzumaki]

Yes! An underdog challenge video. Great work.

[@theSBC1409]

Dude, you have my respect. Also this was just a good video.

[@ahoiita]

I get you, this is the reason why I triple crowned and main Aloy

[@gabriel027m5]

Xinyan main here, i stop trying playing her as a physical dps after soo many failures in the abyss. So i activate the c6 bennet and i put her Gladiador set with pyro dmg bonus. My new team with Xinyan was: bennet rosaria and kaeya (or fischl bc my kaeya is lv70 yet). With this team i finally passed the abyss with 3 stars hahshaha Srry for my bad English

[@PRO100SashaX]

"our bond is strong!" *dies instantly*

[@emeraly2721]

5:25 this part is so random and i love it =]]]]]]

[@cripecat]

i admire you as meiner xinyan!
