Bane of All Evil
Last updated 2026-09-11
This article is about Xiao's Elemental Burst. For Beidou's constellation, see Bane of Evil.
Donning the Mask of the Yaksha, Xiao takes the terrifying, demon-conquering form of the Vigilant Yaksha. But this great power has also brought him great suffering. Some call him "The Bane of All Evil."
Bane of All Evil is Xiao's Elemental Burst.
Gameplay Notes
- While donning the Yaksha Mask, Xiao's Interruption Resistance is also increased.
- The increase to Xiao's jumping ability not only increases the jump height, but increases the speed of him jumping upwards. This does not increase his falling speed.
- Xiao can perform about 10 Plunging Attacks over this skill's duration.
- Xiao's Plunging Attacks have their AoE increased, producing multiple spears from the ground around where he lands as a visual enhancement.
- In this state, Xiao's Elemental Skill, Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, will not generate elemental particles, though all other sources still generate energy normally.
