Xiao
“A yaksha who has cut down demons alone for millennia — still guarding Liyue under the unceasing weight of accumulated karmic debt.”
Ultimate. Unleashes his Yaksha form — boosting plunge damage, AoE, and jump height — while slowly draining his own HP.
In ultimate form, plunge attacks become the core damage loop — vertical ambushes define his playstyle.
A rapid forward dash that can chain mid-air — the mobility and attack foundation of his kit.
He says little and feels distant — not because he is numb, but because the pain runs too deep. Millennia of slaying demons have saddled him with karmic debt that manifests as constant hallucinations and suffering. He keeps people away not to protect himself, but because he doesn't want to contaminate them with what he carries.
- ▸Protecting the people of Liyue — his only real reason
- ▸Bearing the karmic weight alone so it never becomes someone else's burden
- ▸Keeping the promise he made to Zhongli
- ▸Karmic corruption overwhelming him and erasing what he is
- ▸Becoming a danger to the very people he exists to protect
- ▸Almond tofu
- ▸Standing alone at heights, watching over Liyue Harbor
