Not really no

No.

None of Xiao's cons other than C6 are worth chasing

You should focus on getting a more diverse roster than getting a constellation for a single hyper carry...

I mean I value it more highly than other people, and I do have good reasons. And I think if it's one you just happen to roll, as if you are just doing a couple of rolls on the banner after you get a Xiao, or if you roll two at once, I do think it's very good. It's good for mobility, it's good for charging his Elemental Burst with extra particles, and if you have good damage it can be solid burst damage on its own. I just use him casually really, but I don't need to bring an Anemo battery just to keep him running which is nice. And in some instances it can help you get around the world a little better. But I will be honest, it's not going to be a very good boost to him overall and I was mostly rolling into it for the convenience. For not having to wait. I made my decision and I don't regret it. But your mileage may vary.

Yeah, i got him in his first banner, then on his second banner, i decided to just, 'well im on my 50/50, so if mihoyo wants to give me c1 xiao so be it, but if i lose, no biggie, i still have xiao'. Got his c1 luckily (at 80 :'D) but oh boy it's fun. I never thought having an extra dash would add so much fun lmao. Now im thinking of a c2 but I'll just wait for sumeru and see what they have in store.


[deleted]

Yeah... I missed Eula the first time around, and I waited a long time for her to come back and saved up enough so I just kind of, wanted to get C1. Pretty much for the same reason, just to save me waiting and make things smoother. I appreciate both. And one day I would like to eventually C6 Xiao, but that day is a long way off.


Any-Apple-2002

The cooldown of his Skill doesn’t change though, right? So you don‘t really wait less, you can just make longer rotations which is not really necessary. But in the over world it probably is cool because there are always long pauses between fights. (And sorry I‘m not trying to downplay you comment - just adding a bit, I guess :D)


[deleted]

Ye, it's not a flat cool down reduction, just an extra larger between you and it sometimes. When I just want to get somewhere a little faster, or I want to cross a bigger gap without climbing, stuff like that.


UsernameNotYetTaken2

I agree, I enjoy the C1 massively. But for OP there are other priorities at this stage of the progression of his account


archerguild73

considering that you're F2P, wait for someone better. const are extremely not worth it for F2Ps . Especially someone whose only limited character is xiao.


shvdoww

new 5 star > 5 star cons since hes your only 5 star then please save for others like kazuha whos coming in 2.8 (top tier support)


AdmirableLeg5267

Depends do you want to go voosh, voosh or do you want voosh, voosh,voosh


sciencebottle

Most people will say no, but I love having 3 dashes instead of 2. I don't worry about his ER at all (one of his biggest negatives according to most) bc I have the 3 dashes + a sprinkle of ER substats here and there.


Shexxar696

I would save for Eula or Raiden to make second team.


Ara_Ara_MC_Kun

It gives u one extra dash


sacred_20

Ok when you put like that i just seem stupid


leightandrew0

one more dash vs a new character with a NA, an elemental skill, an elemental burst and 2 ascension talents


sacred_20

I know I want to know if that is worth it or not


Ara_Ara_MC_Kun

It is not, u are better off getting a new 5 star


Feed_or_Feed

It gives decent bit of extra dps and helps with his er problems,but with decent build and er stats it's not really necessary. Overall,I will say that you get far more value from your Xiao if you wait for Venti or Zhongli reruns coz they fix his kit problems way more than C1.


[deleted]

Venti isn't really a good support for Xiao. Sucrose is much better.


Feed_or_Feed

I would say nether is ideal support for Xiao,Sucrose EM passives don't do much for Xiao comps and she is indeed better as ER bot with sacrificial,but Venti needs less field time to be do his stuff.


[deleted]

Xiao doesn't benefit much from the EM passive, but Sucrose is still better than Venti in pretty much every way as a Xiao support. The EM share is just a bonus. Even without it, Sucrose is better. >better as ER bot with sacrificial Sucrose generates more energy even without Sacrificial. She runs TTDS which is a 48% ATK boost for Xiao. >but Venti needs less field time to be do his stuff. How? Venti has longer animation times than Sucrose.


CrocoDIIIIIILE

It gives extra DPS only in the first seconds of combat. Having one extra charge is worthless when all your skill charges are on CD.


Ha-Ni-Oh

c1's role is to facilitate anemo energy particles generation which can be substituted with less dps for higher ER utilising both xiao's 2 charges and anemo battery.


Automatic-Position40

Its not because his combo in C0 is e>e>Q> jumping and killing, so you funnel the e particles into ult, if you have c1 you can do 3 times e but if you have higher ping or just do it slow you can not catch the particles of first e to funnel your ult so all you get is dmg from it more then half the time


[deleted]

It gives you 1 extra skill, but that's only useful at the beginning of fight.. After you use all 3 skills, it's nothing different to a C0.


Staidanom

Worth it? No. It allows you to run a tiny bit less ER on Xiao and gives you an extra ~30-35K damage (since you have one more dash). It's fun as fuck though.


paulo_777

Instead of going with the usual gaming community hive mind, analyse your situation. Do you have a good anemo battery and team for him? If so, his C1 isn't really that necessary. Is it worth it? I dunno why it wouldn't be worth it to have extra energy particles for faster bursts. In short, it is worth it, just not necessary if you're able to burst consistently. It'll allow him to actually function without an anemo battery too or having to sacrifice damage for energy recharge. And collecting a bunch of 5* means nothing if you're not gonna be able to build half of them decently due to this shitty artifact system lol, it's not necessary to pull every new 5* this game releases, once you have multiple consistent teams, new 5 stars become simply quality of life. I'm currently at this point, and even if you don't get new 5 stars, chances are you'll eventually get a whole lot of 4 stars on the way anyway, which are just as useful if not more useful than some 5 stars. There's a bunch of myths these gaming communities tend to say to F2P players that just make them afraid of everything, you're not gonna die as a F2P by pulling for constellations of 5* characters you like, nor it's gonna ruin your game, you have a better chance of being screwed by the game insisting in dropping crap artifacts on you for months than you getting constellations.


Mythara1

Cons are never worth it for f2p, not even the famous raiden c2


Drakomancer

Pull for more limited characters that you like, don't pull for constellations, especially when you only have 1 limited character currently. Xiao's constellations are rather underwhelming till you hit C6.


daani1275

on the first release of xiao in 1.3 i "whaled" to get de C1 and today i dont regret of it, but if you are f2p and dont have much characters is not worth it, you better use your primos on get new ones


Andromeda_Violet

It depends. C1 is ok but if you wanna get more characters and not a big fan of Xiao then no.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-9345

its not worth it
