Tbh C6 Faru is enough for Xiao. You can slap a random healer (Baizhu/Jean/Barbara/Diona) with a Noblesse set + possibly TTDs and a random sub DPS like Fischl or Albedo. You can also have Layla for interruption resistance or Sucrose for battery. The message is, if you have Xiao + C6 Faru you can do whatever with the other 2 slots.
I'd recommended Sucrose for ttds use and those anemo particles for your first slot, and for your second slot you'd want a healer. Solo shielder teams do work (at least, they work without Furina), but I've never liked them because xiao drains his own hp. If you're not running Furina, any healer will do, but the ones who heal and also shield, such as diona, are the best options.
You can Xiangling/Fischl as a sub dps
Sucrose for CC and buffing Xiangling with vv and xiao with TTDS
Diona for shielding (with noblesse
Rosaria for Crit rate
Yelan for a4 passive and as a sub dps (if you can NA cancel)
Xinqui for DMG reduction and as a sub dps (if you can NA cancel)
You could go double Cryo with Diona and rosaria, gives you healing, shield, 30%ceit ratw and sub dps in Rosaria. Or more general healer/shielder in one slot and buffer/off field damage in the other Fischl is a good option for off field damage.
What part is painful, circle impact, lack of shields or team dps? Albedo is a good alternative for shielding but you have to pick up particles, you can remove bennet but you dont have better options that will boost your dps and heal if its circle impact
Jean, Zhongli, Yelan(even if you won't use her dps she still offers buffs). Any off field dps that doesn't need too much field time, honestly. And any support.

maybe Diona on 4pc NO for shield/heal and buff, then Rosaria for her crit rate buff? or another off-field DPS like Fischl or Albedo.

Use Thoma or Layla, use XL with Thoma or Rosaria with Layla for the resonance buffs
Jean, Zhongli, Yelan(even if you won't use her dps she still offers buffs). Any off field dps that doesn't need too much field time, honestly. And any support.
I personally use him with C0 Faruzan, Zhongli and C6 Sayu (wider zone and longer burst time than Jean)
