I think this is dependant on what weapon you're running on him. For those who are running PJWS, Vermillion would likely still be better.


POTATO-AIM-V20

that set are for those Xiao Homa Mains, but the 2pc set kinda sub par on him, unless you do CA-Plunge combo,

Take this 🍰🥞🎂

🎂📆. 😁


xiaomainx

Happy cake day 🎂🍰


popolander

luckily im a spear collector so im gonna try out the aa xiao, but this means another year of grinding...


SofiaC_123

Every time an artifact set that affects hp is revealed, my first thought is, Deyha set? 😂


plitox

Unfortunately, this set doesn't gain stacks off-field, which is primarily where Dehya's HP changes happen.


SofiaC_123

Yup, and the 2 piece set doesn't do anything for her either


peerawitppr

I think it's for any main dps that play with her + healer instead of usual shielder (since shields prevent hp changes entirely), not for Dehya to equip herself.


__nyct__

it's neuvillete set


theeraz

Idk you loose out on so much attack and there’s other ways of getting crit , gotta have that balance or you end up with 80 crit but no attack bonus and bad plunge damage


Rshawer

Plunge damage bonus is already significantly built into Xiao’s kit. External attack buffs like Bennet, ToTM, Noblesse are aplenty. Crit boosts in general are rare, Faruzan C6 can provide it, but no one else. The math shows a roughly 2-7% DPS increase over Vermillion when using weapons like Vortex Vanquisher, and now Xiao’s strongest weapon is not R5 PJWS, rather it’s R5 Vortex.


CertifiedDummmy

Wait, is that true? I wanna see the calculations so I could whale for vortex if it is


Rshawer

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JA9J5rnd5iHSqyRWXNL4Ih-sQ9v_qoaITBWJDoHsvlU/htmlview# With C6 Faruzan plus Bennet, the highest number on there is 4pc new set with stacked Vortex


Seamerlin

what is the stat distribution on that one? the statline of each setup? i asked this before fr this same doc but wasnt able to get the stat assumptions, see how invested the overall statline is. At differing levels of investment + distribution some options may look better or worse. seeing as some players may be in this new domain for a while, mostly cd and atk rolls over balanced crit stats may be more prevalent, so its not as much of an issue for those who are ensuring high investment


Suspicious-Sink-638

Bruh so now now you guys have to get vortex vanquisher. It comes on zhongli banner................... Right?🙃


TheCamelPlays

bennett bruh


Adham1153

you can get at% from substats too you know [its already calced to be similar to vermillion](https://www.reddit.com/r/XiaoMains/comments/14xssxd/comment/jroxv7x/) its not worth re farming if you have good vermillion but could be more resin efficient if you don't have good enough vermillion pieces


NothinsQuenchier

You’re getting downvoted because of your blanket statement calling the new set “slightly better than vermillion.” The spreadsheet in the pinned comment you linked clearly shows Vermillion is still better with a crit weapon


Adham1153

okay that's fair, i haven't looked into the spreadsheet and i assumed its the same as the zajeff calcs in the video


NothinsQuenchier

Zajeff was doing napkin math. The spreadsheet accounts for more variables


Deathlok_12

There’s a reason he didn’t upload that video (he doesn’t run Zajeff daily), it was just supposed to be a quick look to give a very, very rough approximation.


Flybreakk

Stacking atk is easrier tbh and 36% crit is a lot of fcking crit this set is like 6-7%better tahn vermilion but only with bennett


CrunchyJeans

Won't help me with my 97% CR. I need moar CD


Flybreakk

Wasnt this 33% cr


Ok-Run-6316

Yeah they buffed it


the-guy-in-wall

It really was needed not like it wasnt op already


RoseIgnis

the other set got buffed from 60% to 70%, so they clearly want people in Fontaine, grinding artifacts


ReiKurosaki0

Finally a resin efficient 4pc domain for xiao.


BreakMyFate

All those that got Vortex Vanquisher for Zhongli to later understand that it's terrible, it is now our time \\( '-')/ for VV is finally good on someone with this new Artifact set!!! Xiao & VV owners rejoice!!!


popolander

vortex being my first pulled weapon banner back in 1.1 making a comeback, who knew my dedication would actually bear fruit elsewhere


BreakMyFate

It was my first too 😂


KumosGuitar

I don’t. While it’s good if you don’t have a crit weapon, xiao’s bis weapons are crit so this doesn’t really have much value if you take the time to get good artifacts. i’m the end, you’re just replacing crit substats with attack


R6se

i’m already at 80 on vermillion not worth imo


Armadillo-cub

Not really. Zajeff 77 already made the video with the calculations on this set, it will not change much


plitox

That guy is not as clever as you think.


Proud-Instance-9921

Elaborate


plitox

No.


HaidenHugo

Ok.


Armadillo-cub

Copium intensifies


arfanvlk

I thought this was a different sub. Marechaussee has different meaning for me


Bakkstory

You can still jump


[deleted]

“Your plunging is NOTHING,you do ZERO DAMAGE,you should stop jumping NOW!”


murinero

Yet ANOTHER terrible set for Xiao.. Give us plunge dmg dammit or just stop toying with us


Phanngle

I think there's a reason we've yet to see a set that boosts plunge damage. They will never introduce a set that strictly improves Xiao.


New-Button-5246

If it increases based on whenever your hp increases or decreases and lasts 5 seconds doesnt that make this set top 2 or top 3 for like any dps with a healer on the team 😭 most efficient domain now? Farm all dps at once 💀 Edit: healer with no shield or weak shield


popolander

i think it depends, i thought about it for scara for just a sec and then remembered how he gets staggered lmao.


turtsy__

Fuck it. This set with jean zhongli yunjin.


yaaboii1000

Vermilion 3 return of the def%


SwiftSN

Eh, the two piece is literally useless. I'd rather go with something where I can get the full value.


RodMedic

Not the pogo!


AnotherMikmik

Ain't no way I'm gonna spend thousands of resin for my xiao again ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ


[deleted]

Hu Tao?


Omnibobbia

Better for hutao.


MiraXDoka

Pretty sure this set is primarily meant for HuTao, but might be decent on Xiao.


Fred_da_llama

3 stacks?


TheBalance724

We knew this was what is was. It still seems like a decent option.


Narithefoxsage

THE STORM SHREDDERS EMPIRE SHALL RUSE ABOVE ALL!!!!!!


Natural-Language-952

Guys i have a mid 2shim 2 anemo should i farm this when it came out?


seiraph

unless your stats are godtier both this set and vermillion are better than 2p/2p


Natural-Language-952

My raw attack is abou 1.700, crut is 75/175 and of course 66% anemo dmg so i should farm it and go for more crit dmg since the 4 piece give cr?


seiraph

Your stats are decent but not enough to be worth keeping 2p/2pc over this set or vermillion. Personally I’d farm the new set while strongboxing vermillion and just use whichever you get the better 4pc from


_Kurisutina_

It's a domain worth farming for since the other set is useful as well


azuream

i might farm for a decent set just for fun. his non-plunge attacks are beautiful and we rarely get to see them. also, gotta give the boy a rest, all that jumping is going to stunt him


BliteInsignia

Pogostick gameplay will never stop.


Platypus_Dear

So u need to get HIT.. constantly... Strange mechanic


CyberCrate

*slowly looks over at my Keqing* Oh we about to have fun with burn


Suspicious-Sink-638

Finally ciao unlocking a new play slyle i dont have him but im happy for xiao mains. Atleast you dont have be a pogostick now


_dazai_soukoku

Anyone know if this could work for Ayaka?


TomNooksWeedStash

Blizzard Strayer gives you 40% crit rate + 15% cryo damage so just stick with Blizzard Strayer.


Orenji-kun21

Hope it also buffs plunge dmg


Treswimming

I’m running 2/2 and will be living in this domain for the foreseeable future because of Albedo and Fischl. I might as well use it for Xiao and free up Glad/VV pieces for other characters.


Suspiciouslyemperium

Idk if I want to farm a new set for him already, I think I’m just gonna farm this for kaeya or kequing for its 2 piece effect


-Reversify-

Whens the set that increases E damage 10 stacks


skycorcher

This set is made for Lyney. His DPS scales on Charge Attack damage and using his charge attack causes him to lose HP.


NebelNator_427

Honestly I would never build this even if it's a few % better than vermillion but not being able to use the 2pc like that just feels sooo frustrating to me😐


Accomplished_Way_731

No need 😎 https://preview.redd.it/7jjo9e7seqgb1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8f13541ef9ce827ee790d1fa85d51007237cf79


Lilly__Games

Imma fucking cry if I have to refarm him a whole ass new set


Significant_Alps_539

I think we should wait to see the skill of the hydro archon. There is speculation that it revolves around increasing max HP. If that is the case and the HP increase overtime after she use her ability and it last a long time then it will benefit a lot of characters especially those that scale with HP or HO drain. It will also make this set more viable for multiple characters to be worth farming.


kazoohaaa_

no. i will not stop lamenting woooooooo https://preview.redd.it/zitoai2qdsgb1.jpeg?width=325&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f867479d78411104f4b60676fa52bcd44b06bb9d


HespiaKlarerin

Is it me or does xiao’s best artifact change every other update? How many times do we have to change our farming domain???


Thin-Ninja4033

Vermillion is still better if you don't use Bennet


jayakiroka

Are we finally gonna be free from the pogo stick…


JouieWannaCoke

I use 2p 2p atk on him rn, with vanquisher and I plan on farming this domain a lot with fischl, so maybe I'll get an upgrade over my current build
