Xiao has become one of the fan-favorite characters since his introduction to the game during the Lantern Rite event back in update 1.3, also bringing the other popular character, Ganyu. Genshin Impact glitches are not a rare occurrence considering the vast explorable area that the world of Teyvat offers. In fact, a recent post on the official Genshin Impact subreddit reveals an interesting video, Xiao gliding above the Geo Hypostasis.

This odd occurrence seems quite symbolic considering that his three-week limited banner in Genshin Impact has come to an end and many fans in the comment section claim that he’s just “going home” since he’s one of the Adepti after all. In addition to that, his first passive talent is called Gravity Defier which decreases Stamina consumption while climbing by 20% for all party members.
Xiao has seen an increase in popularity since his second appearance in the most recent double banner re-run which arrived in update 2.4. Xiao is one of the strongest DPS characters in Genshin Impact at the moment, on par with Ganyu and Hu Tao. Even though he’s paired with the new character Shenhe on the current banner cycle, many players still choose to spend their Primogems to finally aquire Xiao and build up his constellations.
When it comes to acquiring his constellations, players usually go all-in with their Primogems. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that a small investment for Xiao’s copies is hardly worth it. His first four constellations provide a utility boost, but his damage stays fairly the same. However, his last constellation, Conqueror Of Evil: Guardian Yaksha, is one of the strongest in the game right now allowing him to gain additional Elemental Skill charges while using his Plunging attack during the Burst duration.
Genshin Impact is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is currently in development with no confirmed release date.
