Xiao is one of the first hyper DPS characters introduced early in Genshin Impact. Xiao is an Anemo polearm user that can deal extremely high Anemo damage with his elemental skills and bursts. Xiao cannot generate enough particles for himself, decreasing her raw damage potential if Xiao's burst is not ready on demand. Hence, players will need an additional Anemo user in the party to generate enough particles for them.

Eula is a unique claymore DPS who relies on physical attacks despite being a Cryo character. While her elemental skills are decent, her elemental burst allows her to stack damage by hitting opponents. When the burst duration ends, all the stack damage is dealt with by opponents inside an AoE range with a whopping 725% Base DMG multiplier at talent level 10.
