DPS Showdown! Wanderer vs Xiao - The OLD vs the NEW! Genshin Impact 

Will you make a video on C6 Faruzan?

We need a THIS TYPE OF CHALLENGE VIDEO playlist please 🙏🏻

I hope you recover soon :D Also looking forward for more of your vodeos

Thanks for having me :D

Man i been watching u for a year and today i come to know that u have a son!!?

Yeah, Xiao C1 and C6 increase DMG but situational. Overall wanderer better kits design while Xiao C2,C4 is just so his issue is minimal.

Yeah... relatable... as a f2p I also like using my c4 Jean, r5 FS and c6 r5 elegy Faruzan with my c0 xiao...

@@demon-reaper1265 😆

Agreed. Xiao was designed before a time when they made the C6s stupid OP

He cannot disable cons, so it would be C6 xiao Vs c0 wanderer.

Very noice

Thats rediculously strong

i mean, all hyv needs to do to redeem this badly designed c4 is to change literally only 2 letters... DEF to DMG... is that even hard hyv smh

The most broken cons in genshin (literally)

we know,, thats his awful c4

Too bad you can't turn off constalations

The funny part is that xiao would win and it would not be close

right

@@ziebus904 4 of Xiao's constellation is useless tho(Xiao's E scale so bad so C3 is also useless, i accept C1 because it help battery tho)

@@phunghieu7093 Yes but overall Xiao is still objectively the stronger dps

Well they have different kit💀 if Xiao had the same atk speed as wanderer it would be ridiculous and "balance" exist

@@arshiya379 tru

the biggest thing that is holding xiao back is that when u have a showdown between 2 c6 units that both have godly artifacts, everything still dies too fast (I mean, just look at that lvl 100 aeonblight drake comparison, I struggle to take it down with a FULL TEAM in under 90 seconds), so naturally whoever has the lowest delay between attacks would come out on top. In an endurance test between xiao and wanderer, I reckon the latter would come out on top.

@@arshiya379 there nothing more ridiculus than yelan c6

@@hulahupjingga I didn't talk about cons

i love me that +100% DEF lol. Honestly I think the idea of that being a constellation is justified since its more dangerous to be onfield doing damage if your health is that low. Unfortunately, just like for hutao, zhongli exists lol

C3 and C5 are also basically useless, with his C1 being just "yeah, better than nothing".

@@ghotifish1838 Def not justified as a constellation unless its on a character like itto

Maybe 100% Resistance to interruption instead of 100% Defense is better. Makes you able to go without a shield so long as you have Bennett you're good. C1 works only if you need just 2 rotations, but something that you can work around with. An extra 2 or 3 particles can be solved by other units. The constellation upgrade for the skill is meh as it would only truly see significant change when you have C6. As for the burst upgrade constellation, he already has so much dmg bonus that it barely gives more damage. You don't go for that constellation because if you ever spend, you go for C6 all the way. But C6 makes that burst constellation nearly insignificant because you'll then be spamming skills, not plunges. As for that ER bonus when off field, that is also freaking stupid. Why the heck would we even want Xiao off field when catching particles? It's the same level of useless as the Defense buff. If I were to get constellations, make one of them "Plunge attacks will decrease enemies defense by 30%." And the other would be "For every enemy hit with a plunge attack, restores 2 energy to Xiao. Maximum energy restored up to 20 energy."

@@kibathefang6022 Yeah well... good thoughts but it's clear that the constellations were more hit or miss during the starting era of Genshin than currently. Look at Albedo C4 and C6. As if Albedo would be the dedicated shielder for Xiao or something. Not to mention nearly all of Venti's constellations or Qiqi's.

I always thought Genshin is a casual game, but the likes of Shintenzu and Wallenstein keep reminding me that casual doesn't equal low mechanic

well a bit late now lmao

@@2crisp63 or you could always search from other channels tho

Can't undo C6 characters

there is if you search the internet and all of them are won by Xiao...which no surprise since he at c6 isnt really that different from c0

@@Yuzuripe need to search for channels that have relatively the same stats, though, which is harder to do. he could also borrow someone else's account with c0 wanderer and c0 xiao, though.

wdym you don't have an R5 staff of homa?

Oh shit, now I noticed it he have r5. Yeah, really standard xiao build that everyone probably have.

That just means for dolphins and whales, Wanderer is a better option

Well if new player ask me they want anemo dps, I'd recommend Wanderer over Xiao. Why? The answer is he is easier to build. Even Lost Prayers, Widsith and Skyward are as good as his bis weapon and he is fun as hell so you can assure they will enjoy this game.

@@sunnysunday2299 i mean xiao signature literally standart weapon. his cons are garbage, and he has at least somwhat uniqe gameplay, when scara literally yoimiya 2.0. I have both of them, and i cant tell, that for casual overworld scara is much better, but for dungeons and abyss xiao > scara (esp at c0r1)

@@volodyan7780 dang I never knew yoimiya could fly

@@damonn6755 yeah when you NA spam at Y2 its entirely new gameplay comparing to NA spam at Y0 xD

Yeah crazy how badly designed Xiao's constellation and gameplay are, thanks Hoyo.

Yeah crazy how xiao's constellations are comparable to standard banner character cons

@@haruyanto8085 tbh Xiao is a preety old character, but hyv loved designing him, i have read how much inspiration the Dev's took to make xiao in a dev blog

Imagine if xiao had some thought put behind his constellations.

@@ocean7790 Yeah they did some good work on character design, not so much in his kit design though.

To be fair, Xiao can do this to an extent as well.

@@Jdogrey1 No.

@@Jdogrey1 no

@@Jdogrey1 no, it feels WAY different with wanderer

@@meowsymcmeow7438 well, obviously, but Xiao can still theoretically do it.

Hoyo forgot that genshin have healer / shield character 😂

Well tbh, mihoyo could fix many characters like this

@@ocean7790 Xinyan

or swapped it with albedo's c4

Hoyoverse intentionally make new chars almost equal to old chars in power level so that those old char banners can still generate some revenue… Examples: many people think Kazuha powercrept Venti. But that’s not true he his own value and still his banner generate good amounts of revenue.

lets not foget that the guys couldn t compare c0s, which we all knowthat 5/6 cons of Xiao are not even imprving his damge and c6 is conditional so in many cases we got a showcase of c0 Xiao vs higher constellations of Wanderer.

@@Kunoichi4ever4 not really. His c6 is incredible.

@@slamp3844 he means it isn’t as big of a damage increase as wanderer’s c6

@@slamp3844 its really average

@@joeltoomer3332 no

They nerfed his jumping speed, cause in beta it was faster D:

It's not about jumping speed. He's still jumping up and down very fast. And he's more of a "nuke" character, he's supposed to be somewhat "slow" since he deals such high amounts of damage with each plunge attack.

@@BulletSponge71436 very tru

duh let it be as if

Lol can’t set up my boy Heizo like that

Why itto?

Against C6 5 stars? No shot. If they were all C0 tho, that'd be interesting to see

@@FunkyEspelhoCat because they both have a skill nuke “itto’s cow and heizou’s punch” also probably why he said “thrown into” a well placed pun on their skills

@@CRITRATIO Why TF? Why this set?

@@BulletSponge71436 it decreases skill cd

That is... If you pay his copies

@@markjunlibrado9664 No?? There’s plenty of C0 wanderer clears already posted and he clears abyss fine. He doesn’t need cons to be usable/good. (while having overworld utility & comfort on top of that)

​@@meowsymcmeow7438 brother even yanfei clears abyss fine...its just that he is not that good at c0 even zajeff stated him as 2/3rd of xiao at c0.....but yes he doesn’t need cons to be usable/good

RIGHT!! i play in raiden coop for fun and whenever i bring my (admittedly pretty bad cause i got him a few days ago and still don't have a good 4pc shimenawa) wanderer some petty mfs always decide to bring heizou or xiao to feel superior to me cause they have the "better" anemo unit. jokes on them they always end up dying and i end up carrying usually with another teammate that's a healer or buffer or something similar

Wanderer cons are huge at c0 he is so way worse than xiao and xiao himself is also mid so take that into considaration

I wanted see wanderer against childe just because I wanted to see how he fares against his fellow harbinger.

Yoimiya wins all day

Yoi is the best when it comes to just gunning down everything in sight

sorry but yelan solo

Pretty sure c6 Yelan would make them eat dust lol

Some do c0xiao, c0 wanderer with a c6 heizou i guess

YES

at c6 man it will be tough for xiao to win but at c0 that would be interesting

@@eeshu8290 well only for single target since Xiao isn’t build for single target

its already a clear win, c6 faru gives 40% anemo shred and crit dmg while gorou only gives crit dmg

@@elloygarcia8155 i wouldn't be so sure of that. While +def isn't the same as anemo shred, you still have to take in consideration Xiao Doo Doo water constellations against Itto relatively better cons

barely

@@batch9518 he was doing great before but now with a dedicated support he is on the same level as the current characters not everyone can deal more than 90k every hit

it shows how well hyv is at keeping genshin a balanced game

@@batch9518 bruh the showcase is with c6 at c0 they are both the same sometimes even better than wanderer

No other character can deal with shields better than xiao.. I mean no one not even kazuha..

It's what happens when DPS characters get Powercrept, same thing happened to Diluc, Klee, Xingqiu, Sucrose, Childe mains, etc, Xiao mains were spared since he used to be the only anemo DPS. This is why in gacha games you always pull for the support/utility characters

@@haruyanto8085 it would only really make sense to be upset about power creep if they made the content too difficult to clear for older units though. Mihoyo took a firm stance against creating anything more difficult than abyss.

@@haruyanto8085 Xingqiu and Childe got powercrept? By what? Yelan and Ayato? Two characters that have similar kits to their counterparts but just so happen to be unique enough to coexist? Diluc and Klee I agree with (Klee should have been a support). And Sucrose. She wasn't powercrept, but people like to think that she was

@@haruyanto8085 Thinking about it more I can see why it might be frustrating if you are struggling to clear content and feel like you are wasting time and resources investing in units that will have stronger counterparts down the road. However, it’s a single player game with no real competitive aspects. I think it would help people who are feeling frustrated by power creep to remember that. It makes sense for people to talk about it if it’s something they think should be fixed.

Agree with the “it’s genshin, the difference doesn’t matter.” C0 Wanderer clears just as well as Xiao, while having all the benefits on the overworld. It’s all just preference really since they’re both good, which xiao copers don’t seem to understand lol

I’d hope he would become your new main dps considering you c6 him lol

Maybe, but because Chide and Ayato are Hydro, that changes the usefulness of the characters as supports for other dps characters. Like. Ayato is great and all, but Childe as a hydro applier can't be beat. Especially for Xiangling. Especially if you know how to play him. He also has a random nuke burst which is always nice and riptide. Comparing Childe and Ayato's dynamic to Xiao and Wanderer's may seem obvious enough to do, but realistically, those dynamics are completely different. And that's mostly due to the element they possess

Ayato is better due his ridiculous flexibility and support and damage buff. Also hydro. Only difference is he won’t nuke like childe at c0. Apart from childe nuke he and childe have similar dps at c0. Wanderer here is a hyper carry! Barely any support! Needs constellations. To out dps childe. Not f2p friendly

@@shachede6828 mmm. Ayato is the definition of "Jack of all trades, master of none" he's not bad at all, but he's rarely the best option. He's a good unit to sub into places if you don't have or don't want to use a specific character. Childe by contrast has amazing teams, but isn't as flexible. Childe International vs Ayato national is a good example Also. Childe has ridiculous icd on his hydro application

Childe to ayato is way different than xiao to wanderer

Wanderer has like, no damage output at all at c0 lol, we compared their damage output in the IWTL server and even against bosses my solo Xiao is able to one cycle the Asimon boss while wanderer with a full team can barely do it.

C6 Yelan is still gonna win, C6 Nahida's attacks are too slow, but yeah I'd like to see where C6 Yelan stands

Also, Nahida said it herself. She sucks at combat. Great support, but she ain't winning no fights playing hopscotch with the enemy

C6 Yelan is literally God, easily the most OP in all of Genshin. She will likely be the #1 forever too if they keep making balanced characters.

@@joshuamiller4227 Keyword: C6. Nahida easily does 100k+ normals with C6 not to mention her E doing a ton of damage too

not to mention Nahida TKP larger AoE up to 5 targets i think? and because genshin is team based as well id love to see the clear times with their best teams

Just because character A got outclashed doesn't mean the B is better or A is worse. They both shine in their own ways. All characters are made as alternatives and variations, not to compete with one another.

That's what I said , both are pretty good characters but I just like wanderers gameplay more .

Wanderer has more future and value

I always felt the same. A lot of people complain about Xiao gameplay, when they don't realize that jump+plunge can be used very skillfully through timing in order to dodge attacks, which makes the Experience that much more enjoyable. As for the Wanderer, unfortunately being unable to freely dash in the air makes him appear less "skillfull" since you want to keep those point to extend dps

@@insertgenerichannelname At C1 your free dash passive activates more often. He looks pretty good in the right hand tho, I have seen a lot players who don't ignore his passive they can literally reposition themselves constantly without getting hit

@@insertgenerichannelname His A4 is ignored so much. It exists for a reason. A free sprint in air every 4-5 Attacks tho requires skill to handle, can prove really useful

​@@haseebbarya8294 that's true, it helps, but when I first commented I was already taking that in consideration. It takes skill to dash at the right moment, that's true, but it still feels a bit bad to be limited that much to the point that it's just better to get a shielder for the sake of dps. Don't get me wrong, Xiao also has a bit of that issue (though I consider every jump a long window for him to be "invulnerable") but not as much as the Wanderer, at least that's how it felt for my first 2 weeks using him.

​@@nexuhs. Xiaoneutral! Wait that's just Hutao..

I love this idea! It’ll be really nice to see different teams viabilities for Abyss and comments on clear speed, ease of use w/ healing/shielding/grouping/lack of dps or nuke if needed vs certain bosses, and other stuff e.g. : - how mono geo teams fare vs elemental for this abyss cycle - how anemo dps centric teams such as xiao/wanderer/heizou fare vs others - dendro and its hyperbloom/bloom/nilou bloom/quicken/aggravate/burgeon or burning teams fare - physical teams such as eula/razor (i think there’s only those two tbh lmao) and obv their best team setups to optimize their run - Morgana vs traditional elemental reactions team like melt, HuTao vape, Yoimiya vape but I understand it’s difficult to cover all these different teams every Abyss cycle :’(

He's also en extremely mobile catalys. Im sure it's just a matter of time for people to get used to his playstyle. People are probably are not used to him yet because its been a while since the last time we got on-field catalyst dps (excluding C6 Nahida)

@@nightday2030 and the fact Wanderer is more accessible then C6 Nahida.

But, why do you need c6 nahida?

oh... you were talking about c6 wanderer.

@@jimmyrq1382 he talk about Catalyst on-field Dps, which is impossible for Nahida unless she’s c6. While Wanderer can do it at c0.

cuz Xiao costellations are trash except c6 and c1

@@SkillfulCurve honestly, even Xiao's C6 is not that amazing. especially since it's the reason why he can't produce particles during his Q, unlike Itto who can self battery a bit

@@alakachef202 and why shouldn’t they utilize his passive? it’s part of his kit. pyro buffs 30% atk btw

@@meowsymcmeow7438 I thought it was just raw damage, no multipliers outside of skill scaling

That's not true, Hu Tao, Itto, Eula, Raiden, Ayaka, Kokomi, Ganyu, Ayato, Childe etc are as good/better or on par as new characters, the only recently new characters that are better without a doubt is Nahida, Yelan and Nilou.

@@haruyanto8085 C0 yes they are comparable. But Constellations wise the value of every Constellations and C6 are like day and night. What i mean new/recent released characters more like start from kazuha/ayaka release or should i say from inazuma characters released. Characters Constellations starting from inazuma release are broken. Pre eula Constellations are still not that great but C6 eula is where they starting to made Constellations are more broken/more value than previous characters Constellations. Even raiden C2 maybe looks better than some C6 pre eula characters. I think the only too far broken C6 are come from inazuma characters. And i feel after sumeru characters release they tried to tuned it down to be not too broken. So far all C0 are safe and balanced but there is one broken characters that not the E or Q or Constellations that makes her literally broken but only from the passives, that character is nilou. The bloom as main source of damage that can Quadratic scaling literally with no cooldown from the passives(bountiful core) just trigger elemental reaction bloom and deal at least 20 ~ 30 k minimum if well build and it fast. Imagine ayaka her burst as main source damage without cooldown or energy she just spam it, that is nilou bountiful core bloom passive looks like lmao. And her team just as you mentioned are better characters are nilou, yelan, nahida and the last piece is kokomi who people thought at first she was bad lmao. Kokomi hoyo favoritism is real here from Artifacts, monster designed for her and now the perfect broken team and with low investment for her. And some tier list still think nilou is not top tier lmao. She literally can fight any elements monsters. No restriction besides single target condition that will makes her balance lmao

At c6 yeah
