Picking a weapon for a Genshin Impact character can either make or break them. For that exact reason, finding the right weapon helps complete a character build. In Xiangling’s case, she needs a Polearm that can help enhance her role.

Xiangling depends on many stats to become the S-tier DPS she is. She needs ATK, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, and Pyro DMG. Due to her many needs, Xiangling fits well with many Genshin Impact Polearms.

Updated March 13, 2023, by Nahda Nabiilah: There are many reasons to crown Xiangling as the best off-field Pyro user in Genshin Impact. Among those reasons is her ability to endlessly apply Pyro with her Pyronado alongside dealing some massive DMG. Of course, with all these positives, there must be something to balance things out, which there is. Xiangling is heavily reliant on stats since she needs many of them to make the most of what she can offer. For that reason, players must always make sure they’re using the best weapons for Xiangling to keep up with the meta.

13 Lithic Spear

• Primary Stat: 565 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 27.6% ATK
• R5 Effect: For every character in the party who hails from Liyue, the character who equips this weapon gains 11% ATK increase and a 7% Crit Rate increase. This effect stacks up to 4 times.

Lithic Spear enjoys a large amount of Base ATK, considering it's a 4-star weapon. Additionally, it grants Xiangling up to 28% CRIT Rate and above 60% ATK, which can compete with 5-star weapons. However, aside from what Lithic Spear can add to Xiangling's damage, it dictates what kind of team composition players should run with Xiangling in Genshin Impact. To effectively use Lithic Spear, players have to make sure Xiangling's team has at least 3 characters from Liyue.

12 Missive Windspear

• Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 41.3% ATK
• R5 Effect: Within 10s after an Elemental Reaction is triggered, ATK is increased by 24% and Elemental Mastery is increased by 96.

Missive Windspear is a F2P Polearm that's decent for many DPS, especially those who play around Elemental Reaction. Unlike Lithic Spear, this equipment is not limited to a certain team comp, so it's better for people who want a flexible party. However, as this Polearm is event-limited, players can't get one if they missed the said event.

11 Vortex Vanquisher

• Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 49.6% ATK
• Effect: Increases Shield Strength by 20%. Scoring hits on opponents increases ATK by 4% for 8s. Max 5 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.3s. While protected by a shield, this ATK increase effect is increased by 100%.

Vortex Vanquisher is merely good as a stat stick for Xiangling. Since the passive can't be stacked off-field, it's practically useless; she can say goodbye to that whopping 89.6% ATK addition. Because of its passive, this Polearm is really niche, so it's not really worth upgrading in the first place.

10 Dragon's Bane

• Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 221 Elemental Mastery
• R5 Effect: Increases DMG against opponents affected by Hydro or Pyro by 36%.

Dragon's Bane is a 4-star weapon that carries a massive Elemental Mastery buff to maximize Xiangling’s Elemental reactions. To raise the weapon’s efficiency, players have to pair Xiangling with Cryo or Hydro for her to trigger either Melt or Vaporize reactions. Note that it’s better to play Xiangling in a Vape team comps since Dragon's Bane hit harder on enemies affected by Hydro and Pyro.

9 Deathmatch

• Primary Stat: 454 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 36.8% Crit Rate
• R5 Effect: If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 32% and DEF is increased by 32%. If there are fewer than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 48%.

Deathmatch is always a great stat weapon for DPS Polearm units in Genshin Impact. For Xiangling, Deathmatch grants her a 36% CRIT Rate, making it easier to build her. However, other than that, it doesn't offer much in terms of its ATK% buffing passive since Deathmatch's Base ATK is low and won't help with scaling.

8 Wavebreaker's Fin

• Primary Stat: 620 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 13.8% ATK
• R5 Effect: For every point of the entire party's combined maximum Energy capacity, the Elemental Burst DMG of the character equipping this weapon is increased by 0.24%. A maximum of 80% increased Elemental Burst DMG can be achieved this way.

Wavebreaker's Fin is easily one of the best Genshin Impact weapons for any Burst user. The weapon grants its user up to 80% extra DMG on their Burst, based on their team. In order for Xiangling to fully benefit from Wavebreaker's Fin, her team must have 80+ energy requirements on their Elemental Burst.

7 Calamity Queller

• Primary Stat: 741 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 16.5% ATK
• Effect: Gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus. Obtain Consummation for 20s after using an Elemental Skill, causing ATK to increase by 3.2% per second. This ATK increase has a maximum of 6 stacks. When the character equipped with this weapon is not on the field, Consummation's ATK increase is doubled.

Calamity Queller is a great choice for any off-field character that depends on ATK. The 741 Base ATK is currently the highest Primary stat of all other weapons in Genshin Impact. This insane Base ATK number guarantees that every single buff to ATK% is going to be massive. On top of the 16.5% ATK sub-stat, Calamity Queller grants Xiangling up to 38.4% ATK buff if she activates her Elemental Skill and stays outside the field.

6 Skyward Spine

• Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 36.8% Energy Recharge
• Effect: Increases Crit Rate by 8% and increases Normal ATK SPD by 12%. Additionally, Normal and Charged Attacks hits on opponents have a 50% chance to trigger a vacuum blade that deals 40% of ATK as DMG in a small AoE. This effect can occur no more than once every 2s.

While Skyward Spine provides Xiangling with a high Base ATK and Energy Recharge to enhance her damage, it's far from being Xiangling's best weapon. This is simply because Skyward's passive doesn't work with Xiangling unless she's the Main DPS. In that case, Xiangling is not built to deal damage via Normal attacks, so Skyward still doesn't add much to her kit. Other than the stated negatives, Skyward Spine's stats alone put it among the best weapons for Xiangling in Genshin Impact.

5 Primordial Jade Winged-Spear

• Primary Stat: 674 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 22.1% CRIT Rate
• Effect: On hit, increases ATK by 3.2% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12%.

Primordial Primordial Jade Winged-Spear is a top-tier Polearm in Genshin Impact. Most Polearm users can effectively wield Primordial Jade because of its high stats that drive all the DMG. Having a high Base ATK alongside CRIT Rate as a Secondary Stat is always going to be good.

4 The Catch

• Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK
• Secondary Stat: 45.9% Energy Recharge
• R5 Effect: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 32% and Elemental Burst CRIT Rate by 12%.

The Catch is the best F2P weapon for Xiangling in Genshin Impact. While it takes some dedication to R5 The Catch, it’s a completely free process, so players should definitely go for this Polearm if they want to build a F2P Xiangling. Pairing R5 The Catch and 4-Emblem of Severed Fate will maximize Xiangling’s Pyronado and take her DMG to the next level.
