Genshin Impact Players got a free Xinyan in the latest Labyrinth Warriors Event. Here is our Xinyan Best Build Guide to help you improve this 4-star Pyro character.

Xinyan is a 4-star Pyro Claymore user un Genshin Impact. She is a fan of Rock n Roll music and performs throughout Liyue Harbour. She has started getting a dedicated fan following despite the fact that Rock n Roll type of music is not popular in Liyue. Xinyan is a great support character that you can get for free in the latest Labyrinth Warriors Event. You can get a free Xinyan or her constellation if you collect 1000 Aged Tokens during the event.

Xinyan can be a physical DPS or a Support character. Our recommendation is that she should be used as a supporting character since there are many other strong DPS characters. But if you enjoy playing her as a DPS character then you should go for it. You can also check out our Diona Best build Guide and Albedo Best Build Guide. Here is our Xinyan Best Build Guide where you will find the best artifacts and weapons for her.
