Best Weapon for XIAO
Best 5-star spears for Xiao.
All five-star weapons are great for Xiao. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear for example is an excellent choice! Great damage, nice passives.
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (BEST!)
On hit, increases ATK by 3.2% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12%.
Staff of Homa – (good stats, Crit DMG!) HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder’s Max HP. When the wielder’s HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.
The only downside to five star weapons is that they are very hard to get unless you spend a lot of money in the game.
Best 4-star spears for Xiao Character.
