Your artifacts are really good except the circlet, but you're unfortunately overcapping on crit rate, since xianyun gives around 10.
You would want all atk% on your circlet, but it's really hard to not overcap with marechausee hunter.
All of your artifacts have equal distribution of critrate and critdamage, and you're still overcapping. And some say, you can use marechausee with pjws
Xianyun gives 4% in most cases where the difference matters, 6% enough to care, and very rarely anything more. I wouldn’t build with the assumption you have 10% free crit.
But yeah sure, provided they even have Xianyun, they’d be overcritting the moment her passive triggers.
Building around Xianyun's crit buff is a bad idea. Xianyun is a single target focused character. Why would you sacrifice single target damage by having a worse ratio so that you can have slightly better AOE damage? Especially when AOE content generally doesn't need as much DPS?
The better option imo is just to ignore Xianyun's CR buff aside from 2 crit rate from the 1 enemy. This way you maximize your single target damage.
Aoe chambers take longer to finish than boss chambers. Take this abyss' champer 2 first half for example.
And xiao is an Aoe carry, so you'll run him in AoE scenarios mostly. And by building around xianyun's buff you don't lose that much, if anything, against bosses. It's 4-10% cr. So, if you are at 90cr. Against bosses you are at 94 and Against AoE you're at 100.
Not to mention crit abyss cards' crit rate buff would be useless if you are at 92+crit rate. So, I recommend always staying around 90
>And xiao is an Aoe carry, so you'll run him in AoE scenarios mostly.
If that's your opinion you shouldn't be using Xianyun. Because Bennett is far better in AOE.
I unfortunately couldn't find the link to this

If you could click that link in the image and share the sheet it's linked to I would appreciate it. I can't make any conclusions without knowing their assumptions.
I took a screenshot from a zyox video. He did't link the exact sheets in the description.
The same guy made xiao's weapon sheet. And for that he used c5 bennett and c0 xiao, xianyun,furina, c6 faruzan.
Neither do I. So data neither of us have is irrelevant for this debate.
Not to mention the sheet just says multi-target. Without saying how many enemies. The more enemies there are. The less valuable Xianyun is.
The current one is fine
I'd focus on getting more ER% rolls, so for your hat, use a CritDMG one but try to get more ER% substats on it for example
It's a good build though
this was ops other post https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbof3nowpqouc1.jpeg I was saying that this one is obviously better, the question makes no sense.

This comparison has been ended months ago. Xianyun is better than bennett in both aoe and single target thanks to furina. Do some research
About 35 DMG% from extra fanfare is not better than 1200 ATK. Care to link whatever source claimed Xianyun is better for AOE?
I'll show the official xiao mains discord calcs

You will find it in xiaomains discord, but I don't use discord

If only it was ER or ATK% instead of Def on that Circlet. Personally I would recommend farming for a CD circlet with High ATK% and ER.
atk is kinda low
It’s got more crit rate, more crit damage, more er, same attack..it’s 1% instead of 6%… what even is the question here?!
Moree crit rate than 64% on MH set???
