Opinion 1: If you have Klee and Diluc, it’s more recommended to get Ganyu over Xiao If you don’t have a main DPS, Xiao is recommended over everyone

Opinion 2: About the “future potential” of Albedo and Zhongli: Albedo, aka elevator man, new geo “portable battery”, once c2 he can be a sub DPS, ult damage is not bad. However the synergy between him and Zhongli’s resonance is not that good because his geo construct (the flowers) will explode. The elevator does counts as a geo construct but the resonate effect might not be as good as Zhongli with geo MC. In other words, if you were going pair Zhongli with Albedo you might as well instead pair Albedo with Ningguang or Noelle. As for Zhongli, just continue to use him for his shield.

Opinion 3: About the strength of Ganyu: currently it seems to be okay, she used to be more powerful but they’ve balanced her. Even if she is changed again upon her release it’ll probably just be the percentages. She can taunt and increase damage, even if she is nerfed pairing her with Klee won’t be bad, she lowers cryo resistance and increases cryo damage, (something here but it is covered), she can be a main DPS or sub DPS.

When paired with a Pyro main DPS, the melt reactions deals a lot of damage. Along with the cryo set (probably they new one coming in 1.2) there will not be a lack of crit. Recommended to get her to c2, but she is fine on c0, c6 can be a main DPS. Note: synergy between Ganyu and Diluc is does not seem to be that good, personally Klee is a more better option

Opinion 4: About Xiao: From experience he is mediocre. Ult cost is 80 energy and your HP goes down during its duration, can suddenly drops him to a very low HP or die if not paying attention while using it. 2 Es at c0, duration of the E is long, you get one more at c1. At bit handicapped at c0, recommended to use at c1, c2 becomes an anemo “portable battery”, (it said something resets at c6 but it is covered). He is kind of like Childe, handicapped at c0 but really powerful at c6. If you don’t have a main DPS, you should definitely prepare to get Xiao in your team, if your situation allows it get him to c6 and do plunge attacks for fun :3, if not at least get him to c2. Even if he is changed again upon release, they are only going to buff him and nerf him again (?). Note: synergy between Xiao and Jean is really good, Qiqi is probably alright too, but they didn’t test it out so they don’t want to say anything.

Page 5: Players should assess their resources and determine who should they pull for. Three recommendations from the author: 1. If you play Ningguang or Noelle, having Albedo on your team for a double geo combo is pretty good 2. If you play Klee, Ganyu can significantly increase your team’s damage. If you don’t intend to have Ganyu as a main DPS, you can play her just fine at c0 3. If you need a main DPS, prepare your resources to get Xiao, at least get c1

I tried translating word for word, feel free to add onto anything I’ve missed :3

>> You didn't mention the player opinion fully...He got say ganyu if want main dps, C2 is recommended, but for utility c0 is enough.

But I will try to make her as main dps at c0... Looks fun to play with double layered charge attack and constant amber's arrow rain
----------------

1. If you klee or diluc, ganyu>xiao, (assume usefulness) If you dont have main C like klee or diluc, xiao>anyone (asumme C6 xiao)?
   
2. albedo is fine as support and his Q does pretty decent damage, can be sub dps if C2. But synergy between zhongli and albedo is not looking good, might be better to pair zhongli with ning or mc

> Good to hear that Ganyu is strong at C0, but I'm really bummed out about Xiao. I was hoping that he would be Diluc/Klee levels of main DPS levels at C0 (though then again, impressions might change after thorough testing post-launch, similar to what happened to Klee)
----------------
> TLDR for Xiao simps:

They removed the animation cancelling you could do with a dash immediately exiting the plunge attack to seamlessly dive attack during ult and you need to use e to achieve the same effect now. E gets refreshed by Q at C6.

C0 feels a bit crippled and C1 is mandatory because your e charge goes from 2 -> 3 ; C2 allows him to be an anemo ult battery; C6 gives e reset on Q similar to Tartaglia.

If you lack a main dps, Xiao is the best choice out of the batch and if you can, C6 makes him a very valuable main damage unit.
