BROKEN PYRO CARRY! Updated Xiangling Guide - Artifacts, Weapons, Teams & Showcase | Genshin Impact

hey what's up guys welcome to my complete and updated channeling guide in this video we're going to be talking about one of the strongest characters in gangshin impact and how to use them properly we're going to be covering changling's best builds teams and rotations so that you can get the most value out of your character shangling is a character who was long underrated and somewhat recently people have been starting to understand the true potential behind this amazing character she's not only a great free-to-play unit but also the best four-star carry and just one of the best carries in the game on top of that she can be a great support and very recently she got a sort of indirect buff which is why i'm making this video what i mean by that is a new artifact set and new weapons have come out that are available to all players with the weapon being free to play and this new build makes her even stronger than she was before and so i want to cover everything that you need to know about changlang in one video with that being said i want you guys to know that i stream most nights on twitch link in the description if you're interested be sure to subscribe if you're new and shout out to jf7 for helping me with the math on her weapon ranking first of all for her talents her elemental skill is pretty straightforward you drop this bear called guoba who just kind of sits there and deals pyro damage the damage he deals is honestly not bad but while he is cute he's also kind of dumb and misses a lot or just like doesn't really move and enemies can escape him but the most important part of this ability isn't so much the damage more as the particles that it generates every time it hits an enemy so even if he's hitting like the wrong enemy as long as he hits someone he'll be generating particles for you which is really good for your elemental burst this is the core of shang ling's kit this is why she's so broken as a pyro carry now i know there's some people who play her as a physical carry with like crescent pike and stuff but there's a reason why pyro shangling is so much better and that's because of this pyronato the scaling on this ability is insane 224 every swing at level 12 which is just level 9 plus constellations but even at lower levels the pyronado just does an insane amount of damage lasts a very long time and has some very important properties that make it very good what i mean by that is first of all it has no internal cooldown meaning that it can apply pyro on every hit which allows it to proc reactions on every hit that means that if the enemy is afflicted by hydro or cryo it will either vaporize or melt every single hit since there is no internal cooldown on top of that it's an ability that snapshots while i've explained this previously snapshotting basically just means that your ability will factor in all the buffs given to it for the entire duration this is absolutely huge since not only does it last for a very long time but that means that you don't have to worry about any buffs expiring you can use it at the end of your bended burst or you can walk out of your bend at burst you can give thrilling tails you can just amplify this ability's damage so much and it'll keep it for the entire duration in fact that duration is 10 seconds or 14 seconds with her fourth constellation which is amazing and the cooldown is 20 seconds with an energy cost of 80. this 80 energy cost can seem high but as long as you run enough energy recharge and especially if you manage your particles efficiently with a good rotation especially if you pair her with a pyro battery like bennett you can effectively be able to spam this burst on cooldown very easily making her a super powerful pyro carry your passive talents aren't really things you need to worry about too much the first one makes your goal a bit better and your second talent makes gowoba drop a chili pepper when he disappears when he leaves which increases your attack by 10 which is nice but usually isn't the biggest deal but obviously if you see it pick it up for your talent priority it's very important to max your pyronato get it as high level as you can first of all then after that you can level your elemental skill don't neglect your guoba and then for your normal attacks usually um honestly you're not going to be normal attacking too much with shangling even if she is your main dps because there is a specific rotation you're gonna be following that i'll cover in the next section where you're not really normal attacking too much and if you are it's not doing that much however you can still get it to level six if you want and if for some reason you're running a physical shangling obviously level this up but generally speaking pyro is much better now with all that out of the way let's talk about how to actually build this character usually i start by talking about artifacts but in today's video i want to talk about our weapons first of all the reason for that is because the new poll arm the catch is one of the reasons why i'm making this video and it's an absolutely broken weapon this is not only the best free-to-play option right because you can get it for free and refine it for free with the fishing event but it's also just the best four star option and it's honestly better than a lot of five stars this weapon is literally like a free 5 star for shangling and it's a weapon that you should definitely be using the reason why it's so good is because first of all the energy recharge substance is amazing 45 at level 90 is huge and it's a stat that changling usually needs to get her burst back on cooldown on top of that when you pair this with the emblem of severed fate set this 45 er will be converted into damage in a way that this 45 plus the 20 percent you get from the emblem of silver fate two-piece which we'll talk about uh in a little gives you a total of 165 energy recharge without needing any on your artifacts not only is that a good amount just you know start being able to get your burst back on cooldown but it also gives you 41 percent burst damage from the mlm server fade effect just from your energy recharge on top of that the catch itself gives you 32 elemental burst damage and increases your elemental burst crit rate by 12 percent for a character like shang ling whose damage is mostly coming from her burst like the vast majority of her damage is her pyronato this 32 percent plus 12 percent crit rate is absolutely huge because of that this is the weapon i recommend for basically every player but i do want to cover an exact weapon ranking of changling go into a bit more detail talk about alternatives what can be better than the catch and give you guys an exact weapon ranking because we did do the math on all of them so first of all i want to keep things simple by saying that generally speaking the catch is your go-to option some 5 stars like staff of homa or engulfing lightning can be very slightly better or can be a viable alternative if you're using the catch on another character other good options that aren't the catch include deathmatch which can be great for a lot of crit rate a good effect and can be nice if you don't need the energy recharge that the catch provides you with because that is one of the things that makes this weapon so good if you already have more than enough er something like deathmatch can be amazing same thing goes with basically every five star including things like the jade's wing sphere and the vortex vanquisher for four star options a dragon's bane especially at r5 is absolutely amazing if you are vaporizing and similar in strength to a death match and then fuvonis lance and black cliff pole are decent options with the new blacksmith weapon the kitten or katane spear i don't know how to pronounce it being your best free to play option if you don't have the catch overall this is what the weapon ranking looks like it is on screen now there are some assumptions i'll try to explain a few of them right now first of all this does change on not only your sub stats right how much er how much crit and stuff you have but also based on your team comps if you're running sucrose or kazuwa which are two very popular supports for shang ling though exact weapon ranking can change slightly now this weapon ranking should be mainly used as a general idea because there are a lot of factors that can change the exact positioning but generally speaking these are how good every weapon is you can see there's a lot of good options also while these weapon rankings are calculated with high energy recharge not only is that needed for most casual rotations although you can definitely get away with less and i'll talk about that later in the video but er weapons with the emblem set already give you like 165-ish and for weapons that don't have energy recharge you can often times run in energy recharge sands and then crit on your substats instead of running in attack sands or em's hands and go for energy recharge on the substance so then you're gaining like attack instead of crit which is usually worse especially when you pair shangling with someone like bennett overall though i want to sum it up by saying that you have many good options for example all the five stars are great and there are many good four stars with the catch being the best one and what i recommend overall for most players now with the weapon out of the way i want to talk about shang ling's best artifact sets since my last changling video a new set came out which is the emblem of severed fate set this set is made for characters whose burst damage is the main source of their damage so for characters like shang ling not only will the two-piece give you 20 energy recharge which is the equivalent of three to four sub stats so if you need it it's amazing but on top of that the four piece is great this four piece will convert 25 of your total energy recharge into elemental burst damage now while this doesn't mean that you should stack energy recharge on every piece it does mean that you'll get a ton of burst damage for example as i mentioned earlier in the weapon section if you're running the catch which gives you 45 er and the emblem of severed fate set which gives you 20 that is already 165 energy recharge which gives you over 40 percent damage to your burst making it already amazing on top of that if you have any energy recharge substance you'll just be gaining more damage making it an even better set than the alternatives now that being said the best set for you can depend on many factors for example your sub stats because there are a lot of other good options that i'm going to cover and there are situations where the crimson witcher flame set if you are overloading and vaporizing in a raid and shogun team this set can potentially out dps it so overall i recommend the emblem of server fade set for shangling even if you're somewhere like 135 or 140 er your damage will not only be similar to another set but even if it is slightly lower the 20 er you get on the two piece saves you three to four sub stats other good sets include the two piece no bless oblige for twenty percent burst damage paired with two piece crimson which are flames for fifteen percent power damage or four piece crimson which are flames being especially good if you are vaporizing and best in slot if you're both vaporizing and overloading since it increases all your reaction damage by significant amount and the two-piece wanders is also a pretty good two-piece for elemental mastery overall i'm gonna include some numbers on screen now just showing that all of these sets are viable but the emblem set is usually the best especially if you pair it with the catch that being said i highly recommend you run whichever set you have that has better sub stats since those are very important next up we're going to talk about the specific artifact stats that you want on trying link first of all as i mentioned energy recharge is a must to spam your burst on cooldown the exact amount you need though is something that will cover but it highly depends on many factors other than er you're gonna be looking for crit rate crit damage attack percent and also elemental mastery is nice if you are vaporizing or procking reactions in terms of how much energy recharge you need because this is a question that i get asked a lot it highly depends on your rotation your team comps your weapon and just a lot of factors overall though as a dps once you have the catch and the two-piece emblem of severed fate you no longer need more energy recharge now for the exact energy recharge you need on changling if for some reason you're not running this weapon and the emblem set if you're playing super optimally and funneling particles into your shingling non-stop you can get away with a pretty low amount like 135 to 140. however for most players i recommend more especially if you're playing casually to wear 150 to 180 is a good range but obviously test it out and run whatever works for you for your specific main stats you obviously want a crit circlet and a pyro damage goblet because they will just give you the most damage and for your circuit while it can be either crit rate or crit damage do keep in mind that the uh patch gives you this 12 crit rate bonus to your burst that you don't want to be forgetting about so you're effectively gaining a bit more crit rate than you might think when you just check your attributes so do keep that in mind when picking your circlet since you are trying to get a one to two ratio being two crit damage for every one crit rate for your sans this is where it can get more complicated to keep things simple i'm just gonna summarize it as attack percent is the most damage elemental mastery is also a good alternative for some damage and energy recharge is great if you're a support or need more energy recharge that being said i want to make it clear that even if you're running the emblem set going for an attack percent sans will give you more damage than an er sans even despite this set converting some of your er into damage so a good way to sum this up is by recommending attack percent or elemental mastery sans if you already have enough energy recharge if your weapon gives you energy recharge like the catch then you won't need an energy recharge sense but if you're running a more offensive weapon like deathmatch or staff of homa something that gives you crit or attack percent then you can just run an energy recharge sense and not have to worry about it on your sub stats as much overall though if you already have enough energy recharge especially if you're running something like the catch i recommend going for either an attack percent sans or elemental mastery both of which are really good obviously elemental mastery is only good if you're procking reactions and then attack percent is just generally good and so you can usually pick based on whichever one you have that has better sub stats with attack present being the more universal option on top of that if you are running shangling as a pure support where she just uses her pyro dado and basically stays off field doesn't really collect too many particles you will need a lot more energy recharge somewhere around the 200 range to where an energy recharge sands is needed for shangling's constellations the main ones you want to go for are your third and fourth constellation shingling c4 is one of the best fourth constellations in the game because it increases your pyronato's duration by 40 so a whole four seconds making it last for 14 out of the 20 uh second cooldown that means it only has a six second down time and will greatly increase your overall dps since your pyronado is like your main source of damage this is the most important constellation by far your third constellation is also good because it increases your pyranidal levels and your other constellations aren't the biggest of deals uh but your c1 is nice it reduces some power resistance when guoba hits them your second constellation only buffs your normal attacks which usually doesn't do that much since you very rarely uh complete your whole normal attack sequence your fifth constellation increases globalist talent level which is pretty nice and then your sixth constellation is kind of whatever basically while your pyronado's active you'll gain a pirate average bonus which is really nice in like a mono pyro team if you pair shangling with other pyro units then this constellation becomes very good but it does not buff shangling's pyronato herself so that's an important thing to remember your own pyronato won't get that 15 power damage bonus because it is an ability that snapshots and so it won't buff itself it will however buff your shang ling's guoba if you use it after your pyronedo so that is one thing to keep in mind overall and i know i talked fast in this section but xengling does have very good constellations especially her fourth one which is absolutely amazing but she is a character who's great at c0 so you should definitely use her even if you don't have her fourth constellation now while her talents may have seemed somewhat simple her rotations and how to play her actually is a bit more complex or at least you need to know what you're doing a bit more than other characters in order to get the maximum amount of damage from her what i mean by that is since you're burst for example snapshots you want to be sure to use all your buffs before your shangling's pyronado like bennett's burst no bless oblige sucrose's thrilling tales or anything else you can be running with changling to ensure that her burst does get buffed on top of that when you run her with a character like bennett who is the best support for her something you can do to be able to get away with a lot lower energy recharge than you normally would is funnel particles efficiently the way you do that is by using your elemental skill on bennett and then immediately swapping into shang ling right after while the pyro particles are like traveling so that you catch them on changling giving her more energy so since this is a very detailed guide i want to break down an exact rotation and walk you through what i'm doing in this example i'm going to be using uh arguably shangling's best four star team a really good one where you pair her with singchu bennett and sucrose we'll talk about this in the team section but a lot of what i'm doing can be applied to basically every shangling team so we're going to get into it first of all something you want to do is use basically all of your buffs before shangling's pyronato as i mentioned earlier so while you can use synchro's rainswords at the start in this team we're just going to start with bennett just to show you guys uh basically a rotation so bennett's burst first of all then you can see that applied him with pyro which means i'm going to swap into my animal character sucrose in this instance to apply the bird as inventor set and by swirling that pyro i will give elemental mastery to my shangling through her passives on top of that since i am running thrilling tails on her and since you oftentimes should be when you pair her with shangling you want to make sure to swap it to shangling after your sucrose to give that attack percent to her so i'm going to swirl this pyro then swap into my shang ling then i can use my pyronado which will snapshot all those buffs and then i just want to make sure to apply hydro constantly while you weave in some elemental skills on bennett to give pyroparticles to your shang lang now as long as bennett's burst is active uh you'll be oh i killed him basically in order to give the maximum amount of particles to your shingling you want to be spamming your elemental skill on bennett while you weave in some normal attacks to apply synchro's rain swords swapping into shang ling to catch those pyro particles rinsing and repeating if you're running child instead of sing chu you can auto attack on child applying the hydro while the pyronato vaporizes and then during child's downtime his skills cooldown you're going to be funneling particles to your shang link overall you want to make sure you're applying hydro fast enough so that your shingling can vaporize her pyronato swings while simultaneously funneling particles into her so that she can run on lower energy recharge or if she just doesn't have enough lastly i did want to add as a bonus in case you're confused as to why bennett can generate so many particles basically inside of his elemental burst his elemental skill has a very short cooldown because of his passives this passive will reduce the cooldown of his skill by 50 when he's inside of his burst and then the other passive talent decreases his skill uh just by 20 overall which means that you can literally spam this ability very very fast and it does generate two to three pyro particles that you can catch on changling to allow her to get her 80 energy costs burst back without a problem so now i want to get into one of the most important sections of the video changling's team comps first of all i want to say that while she wants to be paired with bennett other than that slot there are many different teams that can utilize her in a variety of different ways so her team comes are quite flexible that being said she does really want to be paired with bennett i already explained why in this video so i'm not going to go over it again but basically he just gives you a ton of attack that shang link can snapshot he's an amazing healer gives you a bunch of pyro particles and on top of that he does give you the pyro resonance which increases your attack by 25 which is just pretty nice so honestly i think shang ling is probably the unit in the game that wants bennett the most which is why i always put my bennett on my shangling team and then use a different healer for my other half other than just bend it though shangling synergizes well with many different characters first of all hydro characters like xingchu and child who can apply hydro very fast with their attacks while child with his normal attacks and sync chew with his rain swords are very good for shang ling shangling's best four star team and one of her best teams overall is this one right here the last character is sort of flex but shangling bennett singchu and sucrose is amazing and i showed the rotation earlier in the video the last character is a flex slot someone like chongyun is another good four-star option other animal characters like kazua can be great and ryden can actually be one of the best options here especially at high investment since she does give you energy back with her burst allowing your sync true to be ran without even a sacrificial sword and as you can see while she's auto attacking shang ling is going to be vaporizing and overloading dealing a ton of damage scaling very well off of her elemental mastery and your writing is going to be dealing like additional damage to your shang ling and sing-choose making it a very powerful comp at high investment other than this team one of my favorite changling comps is pairing her with child child has really good synergy with changling because while he's on field auto attacking not only is he dealing a lot of damage with his riptide his burst and his auto attacks but he's also applying hydro extremely fast allowing your shangling to be the true carry to vaporize all her pyronato hits from off field so in this team comp while child does a lot of damage he's mainly acting as an enabler while you're shangling literally just vaporizes massive numbers so this is a really good team comp and as with the last one the last slot is quite flexible kazu is usually the best but obviously sucrose even john lee and other options can work other good teams and one of my favorite four star teams is this reverse melt quick swap where shangling's gonna be applying pyro very fast and then rosaria and kaia will be melting just a ton of damage from this quick swap team and since their bursts do snapshot bennett is buffing every single character here and you are playing a sort of quick swappy style where every character is using their skill then their burst and then just swapping out another very good team comp is this mono pyro team and shang ling is good in general in pyro teams on top of that in this example mono pyrocomp having venti and coswa constantly swirling with shangling's pyronato not only infusing your swirls with pyro but also just dealing massive damage this is a very good team comp on top of that you can also run shangling as a support you know like example in a gandhi team that wants to be melting you can run ganyu with bennet and changling and then shangling's gonna be applying pyro from off-field while you're gone you can melt her charge tax do keep in mind that in a gany team though and in other teams where shangling is off field the entire time she will need much higher energy recharge than when she's played as a carry okay so now we're going to get into the dps showcase where i'm just going to be doing a floor 12 clear using a four star only team i'm gonna be running shang ling in the sort of national team running her with xingchu bennett and sucrose and my shingling is obviously on the catch with a 69 155 ratio with a lot of energy recharge and the reason i'm using a four-star team that you guys are gonna see is mainly to let my shang ling shine and to give you guys an idea of you know a four-star team with a four-star weapon although i do have really good artifacts with that being said i hope you enjoyed the guide and i hope you'll enjoy the showcase let's go [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so yeah there really was a lot to cover in this video i hope i made this guide as detailed as possible and showed you guys how to build and play shangling properly this video took way too long to make because i was being super like perfectionist about it i really wanted to make sure i didn't forget anything so i really hope you enjoyed be sure to leave some feedback ask any questions or whatever in the comments down below but yeah overall shangling's an amazing pyro carry great support as well and she now has an amazing free to play weapon and an amazing new artifact set so a great new build for just an already powerful character but yeah that's about it my semester just started so i gotta go back to prepping that but i do have a lot of videos planned so stay tuned for those be sure to subscribe if you're new if you want to follow me on twitch join the discord all that stuff you can and with that being said i'll catch you guys in the next one peace
