The best Xinyan team comp setups turn this Liyue rocker into a flexible Pyro shielder, a Physical sub-DPS, or even a niche main damage dealer. Xinyan rarely gets picked for the newest banners, but her shield and Physical DMG buff still hold up in the right party.
- Xinyan works best as a shielder or Physical sub-DPS, not a primary carry.
- Her signature team pairs her with Eula for Superconduct-boosted Physical damage.
- A budget-friendly Razor team uses the same Superconduct trick.
- An Overload team with Fischl turns Xinyan into a real main DPS option.
- Energy Recharge and DEF are her most important stats for shield uptime.
How Xinyan Fits Into a Team
Xinyan’s Elemental Skill hits nearby enemies with Pyro damage and creates a shield based on her DEF stat. Hit three or more enemies and the shield gains a Pyro aura that deals extra area damage. Once her second ascension unlocks, any character standing behind her shield gets a Physical DMG boost. That single passive is the reason most Xinyan team comp builds exist.
She also carries the Pyro Elemental Resonance, which raises the whole party’s ATK by 25% when paired with a second Pyro unit, and shortens the cooldown on shields for everyone using one.
Best Xinyan Team Comp: Eula Physical Team
This is the strongest overall Xinyan team comp for Physical damage teams. Xinyan protects the party while boosting Physical DMG, and Eula turns that buff into huge burst numbers.
- Eula – Main DPS. Her Elemental Burst deals massive Physical damage after stacking Grimheart charges.
- Xinyan – Shield support. Keeps the team safe and buffs Physical DMG once her shield is active.
- Fischl or Beidou – Sub-DPS. Off-field Electro application triggers Superconduct with Eula’s Cryo, lowering enemy Physical RES.
- Bennett – Healer and ATK buffer. His Elemental Burst heals the team and raises ATK, and also triggers Pyro Resonance with Xinyan.
For talent and ascension planning on the support side, check the Xinyan ascension and talent materials guide, along with Bennett’s ascension and talent materials.
Budget Xinyan Team Comp: Razor Physical Team
Not everyone has Eula built. This version of the Xinyan team comp swaps in Razor, a far more accessible 4-star Electro claymore user who benefits from the exact same Superconduct trick.
- Razor – Main DPS. His Elemental Skill and Burst hit hard once physical resistance is lowered.
- Xinyan – Shield support and Physical DMG buffer.
- Qiqi – Off-field Cryo application and team healing.
- Bennett – ATK buff and additional healing.
Qiqi’s Elemental Skill applies Cryo continuously, so Superconduct triggers almost every rotation without needing a dedicated Cryo DPS. See the best weapons for Bennett to round out this comp’s support slot.
Xinyan Overload Team Comp
If a Superconduct-based squad isn’t available, Xinyan can shift into a main DPS role using Overload instead. This Xinyan team comp leans on her own Pyro application colliding with Electro.
- Xinyan – Main DPS, applying Pyro through Normal Attacks and her Skill.
- Fischl – Sub-DPS. Continuous off-field Electro from her Oz summon triggers frequent Overload explosions.
- Kaedehara Kazuha – Groups enemies with Anemo and shreds Pyro and Electro resistance through his Elemental Burst.
- Bennett – ATK buff, healing, and Pyro Resonance.
This setup works well against clustered enemies, since Overload deals AoE damage and knocks weaker foes back. It’s a fun way to keep an underused 4-star character relevant in daily content.
Best Artifacts and Stats for Any Xinyan Team Comp
Regardless of which Xinyan team comp is used, her stat priorities stay consistent:
- DEF% Sands for a tankier shield, or ATK% Sands if she’s dealing damage during Overload.
- Energy Recharge around 150% to keep her Elemental Burst and shield uptime consistent.
- Tenacity of the Millelith 4-piece set for shield strength and a party-wide ATK and Shield Strength buff when hitting multiple enemies.
- Crimson Witch of Flames if she’s built for Overload damage instead of pure shielding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Xinyan team comp in Genshin Impact?
The Eula Physical team is generally considered the best Xinyan team comp, since her shield’s Physical DMG buff pairs perfectly with Eula’s burst damage and Superconduct application.
Can Xinyan be a main DPS?
Yes. With Fischl and Kazuha, Xinyan can run an Overload team comp and act as the main damage dealer, though her shield support role is still considered stronger overall.
Does Xinyan need Energy Recharge?
Yes, roughly 150% Energy Recharge is recommended so her Elemental Burst and shield stay active on cooldown, especially in longer fights.
Is Xinyan good without her signature weapon?
Yes. Sacrificial Greatsword is a strong alternative that resets her Elemental Skill cooldown, letting her refresh shields more often without needing a 5-star weapon.
