Summons Guoba the Panda. Guoba continuously breathes fire at opponents, dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
- Each breath generates 1 Elemental Particle when it hits at least 1 target.
- After 2s, Guoba will breathe fire at opponents every 1.5s, 4 times.
- After Xiangling gains her first Passive Talent, Crossfire, Guoba's breath attack hits in a 5-meter-long cone in front of him with a diameter of approximately 1.5 meters at max range.
- Unlike Explosive Puppet and Jumpy Dumpty, this skill can not activate pressure plates.
- With Xiangling's second Passive Talent, Beware, It's Super Hot!, a chili pepper will be left in Guoba's location after he leaves the field. The character that touches it will gain a 10% ATK boost for 10 seconds. The chili pepper will remain on the field until either touched or until 10 seconds have passed.
- Guoba can be picked up by Gust Surge.
- With Xiangling's 1st Constellation, Crispy Outside, Tender Inside, opponents hit by Guoba's attacks have their Pyro RES reduced by 15% for 6s.
- With Xiangling's 5th Constellation, Guoba Mad, the Level of Guoba Attack is increased by 3.

Displaying her mastery over both fire and polearms, Xiangling sends a Pyronado whirling around her. The Pyronado will move with your character for the ability's duration, dealing Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path.
- Pyronado's damage are fixed upon cast (Snapshotted), regardless of buffs that is gained or expired during its duration.
- Example: If Pyronado is casted while standing on Bennett's burst, it will retain the buff throughout its whole duration, even after Bennett's burst has expired.
- Assuming talent level 1: Xiangling will do 3 Pyro hits in a small area around her at the start of the skill (72 + 88 + 110 = 270%) damage, before summoning the actual Pyronado which deals 112% each orbit. For an unaltered (no Constellation 4) Pyronado, the Pyronado will hit enemies 7-8 times (with a small amount of anticlockwise movement need to get the 8th hit in before the Pyronado vanishes)
- At Talent level 1, this totals 1166% Damage (72 + 88 + 110 + 112 × 8)
- The initial hits have normal Internal Cooldown (e.g. usually only the first one of them will be able to trigger Vaporize if there is Hydro on enemies), but after that Pyronado has no ICD on elemental application and will be able to consistently react every swing.
- With Xiangling's 6th Constellation, Condensed Pyronado, all party members receive a 15% Pyro DMG Bonus for the duration of Pyronado, but will not buff Xiangling's casted Pyronado.

When Guoba Attack's effects end, Guoba leaves a chili pepper on the spot where it disappeared. Picking up a chili pepper increases ATK by 10% for 10s.
The chili pepper lasts on the field for 10 seconds only.
The ATK buff only applies to the character who picked up the chili pepper. It will not carry over to another character that is switched in.
The ATK buff is not lost upon switching out — if the character who picked up the chili pepper is switched out, then switched back in during its 10-second duration, the ATK buff will still be effective.

How to play
Playing as Xiangling the only difficulty you may encounter is positioning her pet Goba. It is advisable to choose the moment when the enemies are not going to move, but do not be too economical.
Burst, most of the time, we give up on rolls. The exception to this is when you want to team up with other characters' skills, like Xing Qiu's Elemental Explosion or Tartaglia's melee stance.
