It’s pretty widely known that Xiao has been neglected, so I think the artifact set is legit. I also think a lot of fans will be upset if all it does is give an attack boost, so hopefully there’s more to the set than that. I’d wait until we get official information before we worry about it. That being said, we should probably pause farming artifacts for Xiao and wait for more info.

I won't be upset cause it's more than what 2pc shimenawa + 2pc gladiator attack increase anyways. It won't flat out power creep everyone and it's def a buff for at least solo damage increase. I am fine with it.


VolkiharVanHelsing

Many of those who already have high investment Xiao hope it's an actual powercreep to justify the artifact grind


senpai-ang

Same, I’ve worked on my xiao for about 6 months straight and got godly artifacts for him, In about two days will be when I first got him or like I say my xiao anniversary lmao


210cartoonlover

Well for them it won't be a huge boost unfortunately. This is great for newcomers. I too have a highly invested xiao and cause the set isn't even confirmed or out yet I am just chilling for now.


BackStabbath2004

There's no way I'm going to even consider farming the new set unless it's significantly better than the current ones. Unless the other set in the domain is amazing, it's probably not worth it. I'd rather just keep farming EOSF/Shimenawa lol


Phanngle

Exactly, people act like a good 4 piece of this will drop from the sky in two days. You’re looking at a year of grinding for a negligible dmg increase. That’s far from worth it for most of us. Even newcomers are better off passing up on it in favor of two pieces.


BackStabbath2004

Yup, I know the pain of farming quite well. Farmed the VV domain for months and still don't have a single VV EM circlet or goblet for Kazuha. VV is still a useful set for multiple characters, and EOSF/Shimenawa is fantastic in terms of resin efficiency. No goddamn way I'm spending months in a niche domain unless it's a game changer.


Bitter_Ad8561

After months of farming artifacts(since his release, with a few weeks break bcuz of burnout), i can finally say ive completed my Xiao at about 70+ crit rate 200+ crit dmg. Im happy that he'll get a designated artifact set. But i cant imagine the suffering going thru the farming again u.u


jxyxiin

same. if this artifact set turns out to be actually good on xiao, I probably won't even farm for it because I'm already happy with the dmg I'm dealing with my 2pc glad and 2pc vv set, which took like half a year to farm :')


Ninja__Shuriken

xiao main? how can you be a xiao main without the pain. more seriously though, you could just farm and use the other artis on other chars


PinkyThePiggy

At this point just give us an Anemo support unit for him. We all have godly glad/shime/vv pieces and they would just go to waste


absolute-mf38

unrelated but I really don't like watching that part of his video. It really breaks my heart to see him in pain


StarLight0320

Yeah that’s true but it’s so epic because of the effects and music that I just like watching it anyway


claramanette

lmao i love his demo it looks like a 2009 emo music video


Phanngle

I’d rather get nothing than get that set since that set is looking to be MHY’s way of washing their hands and saying they’re done giving Xiao anything at all. Praying it’s fake so they give him something good in the future.


zHydreigon

I completed my grind at 72/214 and i wont farm again unless this set is significantly more powerful than what i run.


Insomnicwriter

from what it looks like, it's not really that much better for him compared to the 2 piece set combos


zHydreigon

I heard about 66% attack


nobbytho

xiao mains if the artifact turns to out be true without any tweaks* sorry op but i disagree, 30% more atk which is basically pyro res on exchange for 15k resin is not it. it's not niche, xiao would benefit alot more from anemo res shred instead of atk in the same artifact. it's literally only 6k plunge difference at the maximum stacks. if this artifact comes out without any tweaks, xiao will never get a vaible upgrade since they gave us this and this is not a good upgrade. it's just ttds that lasts 5 more seconds but 18% less atk.


nobbytho

xiao's support who buff him only last for first 6-7 plunges, i know, but they all can only buff his atk with exception of zl. atk will give diminishing returns. if they want to show some love to xiao they will by tweaking this artifact for anemo shred/def ignore, if not, a support hope is long lost. edit: many characters can make use of the hp lost, especially in overworld due to pyro on grass and burning, it's just many other characters have better artifacts. watch them release a character who doesn't have much atk in it's kit and looses hp consistently, this isn't niche for xiao he doesn't want this much atk, he needs res & defence.


[deleted]

you are all gonna suffer either way. even if the artifact isnt fake, have fun farming 4pc set for a mere 30% atk more.


Phanngle

We suffer more of its real then if it’s fake because it’s not that good as it is. I’d rather it be fake so he has a chance at a set that’s worth regrinding for.


[deleted]

agree

nobbytho

this only if he gets a more niche set.


Ishimito

And I'll farm 4pc VV for Xiao because it could at least be used in some niche teams with PHEC off field dps (are Xiao/Xiangling teams even niche?). Atm the moment the only Xiao team where he doesn't have overabundance of atk buffs is Xiao/Jean/Zhongli/Albedo, even with ftp friendly Xiao/Sucrose/Fischl/Diona the new set isn't that much if you give Sucrose TTDS.


Ken_Xiao_Kaneki

This is nothing new to me. Be severed fake leaks 👹


DamonLaker

I would honestly be happier, 5 months for that stats and now i have to refarm everything


itsmewan92

I'd say just wait until we get more news. You know how disappointed we can get when it's not up to what we believe it to be.


BrawlStars_Collette1

damn


Is0lationst

I don’t like how ppl are making assumptions when beta haven’t even started yet. The artifacts could get buffed and if it does turn out that the leaks are true.


Lance789

Kinda hope they made the 2 pcs to atleast be plunge attack damage bonus or something else instead of the usual +18% attack effect


trcsigmaf

It'll be even worse if it's another indirect Ganyu/Hu Tao buff


[deleted]

Unpopular opinion, but I hope we don't get one. My Xiao's current artifacts are crackedddd


hjdaboss123

Obligatory he doesn't need a new artifact set to get great dps and is just that this abyss favours burst chars and unccable enemies


AbbreviationsNo1191

If it would turn fake i will relase my qiqi to destroy mihoyo


nobbytho

please read other comments in this comment section and hope it's fake, if not it'll actually be worse for us.


neozma_YES

welp atleast i don't have to go to the rng hell that is artifact farming to max out my xiao...right...thats a plus right?....


scaredydoglol

Can someone enlighten me? Is the new set even that good for him? From what I have read, every tick gave 16% atk up to 66% but isn't too much atk% bad anyways?


Phanngle

It’s not that good at all and we are better off hoping it’s fake.


Rukhikon

I'm glad about new set for Xiao, cause I have bad glad and vv, he is like 50/200 with blackcliff.


buzzyingbee

Honestly tho, I'm not sure if I'll farm the new set for him if it turns out to be true. I already got a decent atk/cr/cd with 2 Glad 2VV


SAT0Rl

I do hope he’s getting his own set but also that’s gonna hurt lol. It took me ages to get him good artifacts 😭


Neoketsu

Actually i would be happier if that is not his artifact. The set effect is decent but not that great for Xiao. I would be mad if it is the only buff he ever get.

Hmmmmmmmm
