Agree with you, I'm sure it takes very LONG time

yeah but vermillion is only usable for xiao. imagine having both him and wanderer. You can use same 4pc for both if you have desert pavillion.

@@diablo3198 so basically what you're saying is, you're going for the pavilion because it's resin efficient

Yeah. Vermilion is the best for Xiao but if you have already built him prior to the artifact (and even farmed afterwards but luck it rock bottom) don't worry and stick to current artifacts

If you take Xiao, you take Bennett, any other options makes less power and usability for Xiao, cause if taking Zhongli without C6 you die anyway

@@maksattashtenov9917 Xiao Double Geo?

Dosent vermillion still do more overall though?

@@Tofu6969 I love doing normal attacks and charged with my xiao I don't mind doing the best for both world if it means my xiao is having his perfection to the fullest

👍

@@newleaf2374 I see

​​​@@Tofu6969tually not much of a difference, almosy the same. But for 4pc desert, i suppose it's important to keep the atk up to 2300+ for sustainable high dmg, cus unlike 4pc vermillion it doesn't give atk buffs If you already have nice stats for vermillion, it's alright. It's just that my artifact luck sucks and i want to try NA

I was also thinking Bennet+ pyro buff for Scara

pavillon dosen't provide more anemo damage?

​@@CharlieToof Faruzan gives more anemoo bonus

Faruzan was made for Scara what r u saying dawg😭

​@@konfuzzzledshe was made for any anemo dps, not just scara

Desert pavillions meant for normal attacks not plunge attacks. Think of the +40% plunge attack on 4pc pavillion as a cherry on top.

Same

Xiao has many buff anemo% from burst and many % from plunge dmg, all he need is atk%

remember that person had only like 1 or 2 days to farm for desert pavilion

@@asaya3776 they made the stats similar because of that. See the stats, it's about the same

@asfasfd3825 Lavawalker an thunder soother aren't elemental dmg bonus sets. I'm referring to the 2pc effect.

Bloodstained and Paleflame crying in the corner rn

@@NaMe-zg9qs Oh shut up, every physical dps's best in slot is using both of those sets for a 50% physical damage bonus. Everyone knows this. But now this same build type is possible for xiao heizou and scara (and future anemo dps).

@@jaydraws0667 Well no 4pc pale flame is better for most phys dps besides. Also my point is that anemo isn't the first set to have two 2pc effects that give dmg%

@@NaMe-zg9qs I NEVER SAID THAT IT WAS THE FIRST TO GET A SECOND DAMAGE % SET, JUST THAT IT WAS THE FIRST ELEMENT TO GET A SECOND DMG % SET. IM WELL AWARE OF THE TWO PHYSICAL SETS, BUT THIS AIN'T ABOUT THEM!! BASICALLY 80% ALL DPS RELY ON ELEMENTS OR REACTIONS FOR DMG AND IS ANEMO IS GETTING A SECOND SET THAT MEANS OTHER ELEMENTS WILL!!!

Elemental dmg give more dmg than atk stat ..

@@lili-mj5ib but it's xiao he is atk hungry.

@@vikassharma7373ur most likely going to bring Bennett with Xiao anyway

Vermillion set has a attack buff activated in his burst which is more than the 36% attack buff when you give him glads+vermillion

Childe vape how can bennett be with xiao lol?

Yea I'm pretty sure desert is gonna pull ahead if he runs attacks buffers like bennett. But if he runs c6 faruzan,vermillion will deal more plunge dmg.

@eiji if you want maximum dmg from E skill then of course it is for C6 haver. And why you need burst? Because c6 still need to do some plunge before you can use unlimited E

Play him with faruzan and Bennett so what do i do

And the dmg is pretty good

Same lol, do around 50-60k with Bennett

This, plus especially against single targets many people prefer to use Plunge + CA, and though CA wasn't tested in this video, it's safe to say that should be way stronger with Pavilion than Vermillion.

@@CritsVG indeed

how? same but my xiao is lvl 80 with his sig weapon at 80 and he does 50k with bennet, with 2 shime 2 glad lmao, talents lvl 7 7 8 c0

But the domains still 8 months since it's release... How'd you farm 1 year on an 8 year old domain. Or have I misunderstood your comment? I farmed for almost 2 years now for Xiao with the og 2vv-2glads

@@literally_Bryan get better substats I use 2 piece glad/vv death match r5 and do 65k plunge with Bennett

New set is still better if you are usually using him with bennett. Vermillion provides the benefit of not using bennet(the amount of ATK can be made up for it) though id love a propee geo healer so we can do 2 anemo 2 geo with faruzan 💀

You're a cutie that's what you are, good luck sweety

Spooky ahh sound 💀

My man sticking with the og vv-glad build, cheers brother. I Was starting to think I was the only one left with this build

@@7ckngBad141 Plenty of people are sticking to this considering how Vermillion Hereafter was released 10 patches after Xiao's debut and the 2nd set is close performance-wise with 4pc Glads/Heart of Depth on Ayato

@@ArnoldFrost Well I was thinking of farming that domain since I also have ayayo so it's a win-win if I get both set, but at the moment he still has 2-glad 2-shimi but I also think 4-glad is better than my current build

It stacks over 4 times arriving at 48% atk buff while the desert set increases of 40% dmg and its also consistent so I think desert one is the best one

@@marcocartaerainnocente7374 Not really, the damage disparity over the 15 seconds of burst equates to a bit over 10-15% extra damage buff. On the side, Elemental Skill damage is not increased which leads to even more of a DPS decrease (up to 5-8%?) if you use both skills near the end of the burst.

I don't think it's just ur luck..it took me 9 months to get 4 piece VH for xiao... 😂

I also had this idea, but still farming tho

If the only reaction is hyperbloom, new set is better. If aggravate is triggered, gilded dreams is better

I use thunder soother

Thundering fury/gilded is still better for him, it buffs both aggravate and hyperbloom

Tf is better than gilded in any team comps, tried both at c0 with scarlet sand my tf build 478 em 75% crit rate 234% crit dmg 6/10/10 does more dmg than 440 em 76% crit 240% crit dmg. Also in aggravate with fischl with elegy and nahida with her signature the first one puts way more dmg than the gilded one also tf gives you no cd in Hyperbloom and also more energy. Especially in single target scenario the first build is 25 sec faster then the gilded one so anyone who wanted an answer I gave you one.

If you’re happy with the dmg you make then I don’t see a reason why you should but if you really love Xiao a lot and want to maximize as much as possible the vermillion set is a go to. Again if you’re happy with what your current Xiao does don’t worry about farming a new set. It’s definitely good ❤

Nah vermilion is better

Vermlion>

its because of 18% atk bonus in 2p new set also has 15% anemo dmg bonus

I think Vermi still his BiS for now, Xiao already got tons of dmg bonus from himself alone; his ult. If u put new set on him= too many dmg bonus.

@@xero3148 depends on external buffs though to be honest. if you have too many atk buffs (bennett ult, ttds, etc) and youre running vermillion, it might be better to balance stats out and run more anemo dmg sets. vice versa as well (too much anemo dmg from set or supports = better to run atk set). honestly id wait to see more comparisons, going to run some tests as well

Why c6 a waste? I’m pulling for his constellations and calling a waste is just plain rude. Say that c6 of any character is a waste will get you trouble

@@queenashfire2318 Call we it rude and get me in trouble if people dont *want* to realize the truth about there beloved characters and just ignore facts to "defend" them Do you even understand xiao's C's at all ? I would say no if you call me rude for calling him not worth to C6 C1 and C6 are his only "good" C's 3 and 5 doesnt count because literally every character increase his E or Q with 3 or 5 Xiao's C4 is trash because you dont even get hit 90% of the time so what do want with more def if you use e.g. zhongli for anemo shred + shield or you use a healer C2 sounds usefull but isn't even a real help because in his team rotations his Q is just full, other people have some ER on him, I have him with C1 and base 100% ER and can use his burst everytime, except for some bosses in the abyss 12 if they are there but the energy that my xiao need for his next Q for this boss is not less enough to say C2 would make a differents here aka no need for C2 Back to C1 and 6 C1 is fine it helps to get your Q back without having good ER + his passive for his E dmg works better with it if you care to use it It is not a musst pull but its worth so i can recommend it C6 give you 1 E back after a plunge atk in his Q if you hit 2 or more enemys with it + you can use 1 E for free without thinking about the cool down That is good and bad Good because you want to use his Q anyway so thats not a problem but 1. You need C6 (obviously) 2. Its useless against most bosses or "stronger" single enemys because there is just one enemy so you cant trigger C6 The "problem" with xiao are his C's you play him with C0 or C1 or C6 that means you only pull C2 if you want C6 BUT every C you pull before C6 and after C1 doesnt realy do a sh*t for him and its not like everyone wins every 50/50 in his life so you probaly lose at least 2-3 50/50 (average) So you need 9 or even more 5 stars for a character that have 2 trash C's and a C6 that doesnt trigger if you fight single enemys / bosses Yes he does more dmg but the fact that after C1 he isn't noticeable better for 5 constellations is a joke and keep in mind the 3 Q lvl is his C5, thats a increase of 13% dmg that safe you 0-1 pluge (without C6) depends on the enemys you fight Long story short : The dmg a C6 xiao does more than a xiao with C0 or C1 cames from his C5 and the combination between C3 + C6 Nothing realy special Compare his C6 potential with other charcters and you will notice that most characters are better than him without having C6 aka they are way better with C6 than xiao ever could I dont care what characters people like, love, fck or what else they do with them, everyone can play and pull what they want *BUT* if everyone call C6 xiao *worth* you musst be insane if literally whales say its not worth *YOU* can C6 who ever you want but please for god's sake stopp defending your fcking characters like this if more or less everyone on this planet knows the truth about them It doesnt make sense just accept the facts wth

@@kevinshadow5470 I’m very well aware of his constellations aren’t as good and your entire essay is a waste, bc no one will play attention to this bc they will pull whoever they like, and not who you deem a waste or worthless. Newer five stars are obviously going to be stronger than him bc hoyo learned to better their design kits and cons plus power creeping Xiao. Let me also remind you that Xiao was the Kazuha bck then where everyone would be using Xiao for a very long extended period of time

@@kevinshadow5470 I agree, I love Xiao im a simp but his costellations are trash...even c6 cuz If you fight single target he is basically c1.... Still pulling for his c6 tho...slowly will get him, every rerun I get a costellation, same with ganyu and I have both c2

Yooo 70/260

Read the artifact set bro

if you have xiao early just unlock liyue and farm vermilion

@@bahoka you're not supposed to farm artifacts in early game...

@@tsuki1606 sorry i forgot reach ar45 first before farming artifacts

Not exactly. Note that Xiao's A1 passive is another source of ramping Dmg% (which is what Desert Pavilion offers) and ramps up the longer he stays in burst form. By using Vermilion Hereafter's ramping Atk bonuses and that Dmg% source Vermillion will pull ahead. Desert is decent, but I genuinely see a lot of unnecessary backlash against Vermillion when the Bloom set is comparable as well to 2x EM + 8p and 4pc Gilded (Gilded even having a non-gacha source of Dendro res shred)

It's the same as 2VH 2VV

Because it doesn't affect skill damage at all...

@@tsuki1606 ohh thank you

then just use glad + vv :)) my xiao has a godly stat at 73 cr, 272 cd, 2.6k atk due to my atk goblet since 2.5 patch and still hit 70k with zhongli and bennett buffs. I don't think I can get any better vermillion set on him that is better than those

@@7ckngBad141 also my Bennett is using Festering desire and 4pc Nobless, my Zhongli is using 4pc tenacity

Do you even know how the set works? 4pc only affects NA, CA and plunge, why would you activate the set to showcase his elemental skill?
