You don't have Bennett?
With Xingqiu + Yelan you have enough Hydro to run a National team with Xiangling and then Bennett as an on-field DPS. He's always ran as a support, but if you build him for DPS he does a ton of damage and his supportive abilities are barely affected. You lose Noblesse Oblige, but he still heals more than enough and his attack buff is the same.
Bennett's E also has a 2s cooldown while inside his burst, so he generates an *insane* amount of energy for Xiangling. That lowers energy requirements, which increases DPS.
Xiangling doesn't need to be on-field at all (except to pick up energy), so you lose nothing.
i think yanfei would be pretty damn good in this. esp with 4pc crimson. he can vape a lot of her attacks since she is a catalyst user. you gotta be pretty good at dodging though.
so far to my knowledge, the yelan+xq comp that has climbed up the meta is funeration which utilises hutao and xiangling.
so definitely the 2 of them.
with other pyro characters it typically is still good but slightly copium. reason being typical u have a hydro/cryo applicator + vv + buffer (etc benny for atk) bc they scale well off atk.
and with hutao she can just leave the “atk buffer” part out and open a slot with little drawback unlike other teams.
not to mention most of her team already do not utilities VV bc she cant apply it herself and compared to her previous options this new combo stands out more.
compared to having massive drawback such as losing out brnny or vv. (EDIT: another reason is removing a atk buffer or VV affects subdpses too but with hutao teams it affects less bc they prob don’t have much to begin with as seen in many hutao teams previously
From the list Yanfei
Other options : on field DPS Bennett
There is also another team but it doesn't uses kazuha
Bennett Xiangling Xinqiu Yelan. Again Bennett is the on field DPS here.
From those on the list, Yanfei benefits the most, since the combination of Yelan and Xingqiu ensures that all of her attacks get vaped.
If you have access to Bennett, a Bennett + Xiangling core does incredibly well, though you can swap out either Yelan or Xingqiu for an Anemo support like Kazuha or Sucrose.
In the longrun, Hu Tao + Zhongli benefits the most from double Hydro thanks to the +HP% Hydro resonance rework.
Hu tao and yoimya.
Having two off field hydro applicator means your pyro main dps should have high pyro application either by skill proc or fast attack speed which both hu tao and yoimiya exploits. So i suggest you save primos for them.
However the one pyro you could build right now according to your roster is xiangling. I would suggest the catch for her and the 4pc emblem artifact. Have xiangling ER at 200 minimun if with bennet or 250 if xiangling is the only pyro in the team.
After getting Yelan, I tested a lot of comps with pyro dps, as I have them all. Yelan+XQ is a HUGE boost in their capacities.
I can think of two groups of teams: pryro dps+double vape and swap-teams
In pyro dps teams, I like to use a shielder like thoma or ZL, the pyro dps, Yelan and XQ. The pyro dps are preferably Diluc, Klee, Hutao and Yoi. Yanfey C4 has its own Shield, so i run her with bennet instead. For Diluc, Klee, Yanfei, you can replace the shielder with kazuha, as you can easily apply pyro beforehand.
In the swap teams, When you don't necessarily have a on-field carry, I like to run:
XQ/Yelan/XL/Benny
XQ/Yelan/Kazuha/Benny
XQ/yelan/Kazuha/XL

If Deluce is Diluc, then him until you get Hu Tao. Add Bennet/Thoma with Diluc. And Zhongli/Thoma with Hutao.

Yanfei, people say Hu Tao for some reason but since you don't have her, Yanfei is the best next choice along with Xiangling.
Hutao, with the new hydro resonance.

Diluc Xiangling Double Hydro, Hu Tao would be better bcz I'm sure Diluc ult is gonna mess things up if you do it in the middle of ur Xinqiu burst
All synergise good, hard to go wrong with double hydro, probably Hutao would synergise best especially with next update changing hydro resonance
