Genshin Impact has over 50 different characters you can play as, including guitar-wielding rockstar Xinyan.
A four-star Pyro that uses a Claymore as a weapon, she can summon a shield and provide a physical damage boost to everyone in her party. Here we’ll present the best options to use when picking Xinyan’s artifacts in Genshin Impact.
What are the best artifacts for Xinyan in Genshin Impact?
Even though one of Xinyan’s abilities involves a shield, her best builds are based on physical or pyro damage. The best artifact sets for Xinyan are the Pale Flame and Bloodstained Chivalry sets for her DPS build, while the Lavawalker set is best for her Pyro build.
We recommend using two pieces of Pale Flame artifacts with two pieces of Bloodstained Chivalry artifacts and combining their two-piece bonuses. This option will grant Xinyan more physical damage, which will benefit her normal and charged attacks, plus her Elemental Burst.
If you already have a four-piece Pale Flame set, you can use it with Xinyan, but the bonus is highly situational. Another option that you can use but isn’t optimal is to play Xinyan as a burst support character, using two pieces of Pale Flame with two pieces of Emblem of Severed Fate to get more Energy Recharge.
As for the build focused on her Pyro damage, we recommend a four-piece set of the Lavawalker artifacts. This build is useful for mono Pyro teams. You can also combine the two-piece Lavawalker bonus with the two-piece Emblem of Severed Fate for a similar effect.
All artifact pieces can be obtained after clearing different Domains throughout Liyue, except for the Emblem of Severed Fate, which can only be obtained in the Momiji-Dyed Court Domain in Inazuma.
The Pale Flame set is found in the Ridge Watch Domain, located in the mountains between the Mondstadt and Liyue regions. The Bloodstained Chivalry set is available in the Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern Domain north of Mt. Aocang, and you can get the Lavawalker set in the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula.
You’ll have to complete the challenges in the four and five-star levels, so it might take a while before you can get a complete set. Because of that, the two-piece combinations also are the best option over full sets.
