Xiangling depends on many stats to become the S-tier DPS she is. She needs ATK, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and Pyro DMG. Due to her many needs, Xiangling fits well with many Genshin Impact Polearms.
8 Dragon’s Bane
Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 221 Elemental Mastery R5 Effect: Increases DMG against opponents affected by Hydro or Pyro by 36%.
Dragon’s Bane is a 4-star weapon that carries a massive Elemental Mastery buff to maximize Xiangling’s Elemental reactions. To raise the weapon’s efficiency, players have to pair Xiangling with Cryo or Hydro for her to trigger either Melt or Vaporize reactions. Note that it’s better to play Xiangling in a Vape team comps since Dragon’s Bane hit harder on enemies affected by Hydro and Pyro.
7 Wavebreaker’s Fin
Primary Stat: 620 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 13. 8% ATK R5 Effect: For every point of the entire party’s combined maximum Energy capacity, the Elemental Burst DMG of the character equipping this weapon is increased by 0. 24%. A maximum of 80% increased Elemental Burst DMG can be achieved this way.

Wavebreaker’s Fin is easily one of the best Genshin Impact weapons for any Burst user. The weapon grants its user up to 80% extra DMG on their Burst, based on their team. In order for Xiangling to fully benefit from Wavebreaker’s Fin, her team must have 80+ energy requirements on their Elemental Burst.
6 Calamity Queller
Primary Stat: 741 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 16. 5% ATK Effect: Gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain Consummation for 20s after using an Elemental Skill, causing ATK to increase by 3. 2% per second. This ATK increase has a maximum of 6 stacks. When the character equipped with this weapon is not on the field, Consummation’s ATK increase is doubled.
Calamity Queller is a great choice for any off-field character that depends on ATK. The 741 Base ATK is currently the highest Primary stat of all other weapons in Genshin Impact. This insane Base ATK number guarantees that every single buff to ATK% is going to be massive. On top of the 16.5% ATK sub-stat, Calamity Queller grants Xiangling up to 38.4% ATK buff if she activates her Elemental Skill and stays outside the field.
5 Staff of the Scarlet Sands
Primary Stat: 542 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 44. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: The equipping character gains 52% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, the Dream of the Scarlet Sands effect will be gained for 10s: The equipping character will gain 28% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. Max 3 stacks.

Staff of the Scarlet Sands’ passive is reliant on Guoba when wielded by Xiangling. Since Guoba can hit opponents multiple times, it can easily trigger the effect, if players placed it correctly. However, Xiangling will lose a decent chunk of her DMG if her Elemental Skill was unable to land hits. Still, Staff of the Scarlet Sands has enough stats to save it and make it a top pick for Xiangling in Genshin Impact.
4 Primordial Jade Winged-Spear
Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 22. 1% CRIT Rate Effect: On hit, increases ATK by 3. 2% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0. 3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12%.
Primordial Jade Winged-Spear is a top-tier Polearm in Genshin Impact. Most Polearm users can effectively wield Primordial Jade because of its high stats that drive all the DMG. Having a high Base ATK alongside CRIT Rate as a Secondary Stat is always going to be good.
3 The Catch
Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 45. 9% Energy Recharge R5 Effect: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 32% and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 12%.
The Catch is the best F2P weapon for Xiangling in Genshin Impact. While it takes some dedication to R5 The Catch, it’s a completely free process, so players should definitely go for this Polearm if they want to build a F2P Xiangling. Pairing R5 The Catch and 4-Emblem of Severed Fate will maximize Xiangling’s Pyronado and take her DMG to the next level.
2 Staff of Homa
Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 66. 2% CRIT DMG Effect: HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0. 8% of the wielder’s Max HP. When the wielder’s HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.

Just like Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, Staff of Homa is an amazing option for every single Polearm user in Genshin Impact. Staff of Homa possesses a decent Base ATK, a whopping 66% CRIT DMG, and a passive that works on every single character since it raises the wielder ATK based on their Max HP.
1 Engulfing Lightning
Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK Secondary Stat: 55. 1% Energy Recharge Effect: ATK increased by 28% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80% ATK. Gain 30% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst.
Similar to The Catch, Engulfing Lightning can form an amazing combo with 4-Emblem of Severed Fate since Engulfing’s Secondary Stat has 55% Energy Recharge. For most of Xiangling’s roles, Engulfing Lightning is the best Polearm in Genshin Impact. Not only that but the Polearm’s passive grants the user extra ATK% based on their Energy Recharge. So planning to build Xiangling around her ER will be a great choice when wielding this weapon.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
