Xiangling
Xiangling is one of the strongest 4-stars in the game and a near-mandatory pickup on any account, especially since she's given for free. She's the heart of the classic National team, carrying huge Pyro damage on just a 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate set. Her only real hurdle is stacking Energy Recharge to around 200% so her Burst stays up; pair her with Bennett and an energy battery. For weapons, the free R5 The Catch is already excellent, so don't sweat skipping a 5-star.

Dough-Fu

The Pyronado will move with your character for the ability's duration, dealing Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path.
There will never be enough heat. Never.

Beware, It's Super Hot!

Combat Rotation
- Place Elemental Skill (E) "Guoba Attack" on the ground so Guoba continuously breathes Pyro flame at enemies (12s CD).
- Pick up the chili pepper Guoba drops when its effect ends to gain the "Beware, It's Super Hot!" buff: +10% ATK for 10s.
- With the ATK buff active, cast Elemental Burst (Q) "Pyronado" (80 Energy) — the whirlwind follows the active character and deals AoE Pyro DMG.
- Immediately swap Xiangling off-field; Pyronado keeps following whichever character is active and keeps dealing Pyro DMG for its duration.
- Play the new on-field carry normally while Pyronado applies Pyro off-field, letting their own kit combo freely.
- Once Guoba's 12s CD is up, swap back briefly (or use it beforehand) to redeploy Guoba Attack so Pyro application never lapses.
- Repeat the E (Guoba) → chili pickup → Q (Pyronado) → swap-off loop every rotation, prioritizing Energy Recharge so the 80-cost Burst is ready each cycle.
