Genshin Impact: The Best Xinyan Build

gamerant.com:

First featured alongside Zhongli on his dedicated Banner, Xinyan is a Genshin Impact character that players love, so some may be wondering how to maximize her potential for damage output. The way Xinyan's kit is built, she has the potential for being a tank, much like Noelle, because her shield scales off her defense stat. But this isn't what players are currently using her for. Instead, Genshin Impact players are focusing on her potential as a DPS character, specifically to sub out Razor. For those using the wolf boy as their main DPS, Xinyan will likely be both fun and useful addition to the team, operating somewhat similarly but featuring a Pyro Vision instead of Electro.

*However, the main quirk about her is that her powers won't truly come alive until players unlock the second Constellation of Xinyan in Genshin Impact. C2 Xinyan increases her Burst’s CRIT Rate by 100% and will form a shield. This can also be important to note when considering her best items.

Updated October 4, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: While Xinyan’s role in Genshin Impact is rather complicated, focusing on one aspect of her kit isn’t. The best two play styles to use Xinyan is by either making her a shielder or a Support Burst DPS. Making her a shielder strips her away from all of her damage and leaves her with a specific and minor role. As for playing her as a Sub-DPS, Xinyan won’t be best at that role, but definitely decent. In the end, it’s up to players how to operate their Rockstar.

Playing Xinyan as a shielder is very simple since all players have to do is give her as much DEF as possible. Doing so will strengthen her shield and make her a reliable shielder for any Xinyan team composition in Genshin Impact.
