How does C2R1 Xianyun compare against C6 Faruzan when it comes to just individual buffs, assuming Xiao has infinite energy / no ER issues for simulation. Who individually buffs Xiao more? Sorry if this has been posted before!

Is it possible to build a viable stellar swirl team for Xiao? I've read elsewhere that he isn't suited for stellar swirl, so I'm not expecting peak performance or anything.

It doesn't need to be meta or super good or anything, just at least usable to clear most content. I don't care to 36* abyss and do anything past hard difficulty in stygian.

I want to pair him with Odette since theyre my 2 favorite characters and i think the color of the reaction damage text is cool. bonus points if i can include cryo traveler, but not mandatory.

i currently use FFXX in case that helps.

Would you rather him being buffed through stellar reactions, some sort of Liyue buff or something else? Honestly i really like how hexerei work, adding just One passive doesn't completly overwhelm the charachter's kit but if done correctly can be very good, and it also doesn't make team building too strict.

If they add a new set for this type of teams I'm not even sure It would be his BiS, because LNO is so good.

I could imagine his new BiS team to be Xiao(buffed)-Xianyun(buffed)-Zhongli(buffed)-Faruzan, or maybe instead of one of these a new Liyue unit that could get added later on, which I think is possible, since Zhongli is expected to be important in this last part of the story.

I think it would also be cool to be able to use "double" team buffs, like 2 Liyue and 2 hex charachters.

I'd like to talk about even more stuff, but the last important thing I wanna say is his cons NEED to be buffed, make C1 buff his passive w his elemental skill, Idk about C2, C4 could add an atk buff(?) and remove restrictions from C6, if you have any more original ideas I'm glad to hear them

I REALLY REALLY WANT HIS ECHO!! BUT— I'VE BEEN CRASHING OUT FOR THE NTH TIME. Those ruin guards interrupt my attacks, wasting my time— plus the squirrel is so damn tanky. I'm losing my mind😞 HOW DO I GET IT?!

what are the chances that the buffs for xiao are related to stellar swirl? or will they just be multiplier buffs—or maybe not even that, just quality-of-life improvements to his base kit?
