Whether it's his elemental burst or his passives, Xiao will get damage bonuses allowing him to do even more damage when he uses his skills or puts on his mask. Moreover, when you use his burst , his damage from normal and charged attacks becomes Anemo damage, so you will be able to trigger the Swirl reaction if another element is applied to your opponents. Be careful though because in this form, looses HP over time.

In addition, Xiao will also be useful in your team during your exploration phase with its passive reducing the cost of endurance by 20% when climbing.

To play alongside:

Barbara

Xiao being a DPS who suffers a life drain due to his burst, he may need healing and therefore it is recommended to pair him with a healer like Barbara who will be able to keep him upright when his HP drops really low. She can also heal him by staying in combat, but it will be more effective to cast her elemental skill and/or her burst to get Xiao back into shape very quickly and allow her to return to the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Of course, these characters are only examples and do not constitute all the playable characters with Xiao but just a small representation of what you can do. Your imagination will allow you to create your own teams and test according to your preferences.
