What element is Xiangling?

Xiangling is a 4-star Pyro character from Liyue who uses a polearm, released in version 1.0.

What stat does Xiangling scale on?

Xiangling's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Xiangling?

Engulfing Lightning is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star polearm with Energy Recharge as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Wavebreaker's Fin is the best 4-star alternative.

How much does it cost to level Xiangling's talents?

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Diligence among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

What does Xiangling C1 do?

Xiangling build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Engulfing Lightning is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Xiangling's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Calamity Queller, Wavebreaker's Fin and Skyward Spine come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Xiangling, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Crimson Witch of Flames on Xiangling, with Celestial Gift and Silken Moon's Serenade behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, ATK% goblet, ATK% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > ATK% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.

Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 80 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Xiangling plays Off-field Pyro in the Tartaglia team, alongside Tartaglia, Kaedehara Kazuha and Bennett.
