First off, here’s my drawing of Fatui!Xiao (if you’re on mobile you’re going to have to tap on it because i think tumblr destroyed the quality lol)

Fatui!Xiao doesn’t change much from the regular Xiao. The only difference now is that he doesn’t do anything for anyone other than himself and darling anymore. Like, you know how he tells the traveller to call and he’ll be there? Yeah, that’s not a thing anymore for anyone except darling.

At first, he does cover up from the cold, but he finds that all the layers of the bulky clothing you’ve asked him to wear makes him a bit slower. It’s barely noticeable; only a fraction of his speed has decreased, but he notices it and he doesn’t like it. So he goes back to wearing his regular clothes and finds that the cold really has no effect on him. He figures it’s because of your sheer desire for him to stay warm, and once again he thanks you for your divine presence.

So he’s not cold anymore, but he sticks close to you. As time goes on, he eventually shows you the markings that he was born with but have been damaged by his past. Instead of reacting with anger or disgust, though, you ask him if he’s okay and comfort him. And he starts to hate himself a bit less. It’s around this time that you two get your custom fatui outfits commissioned, and he chooses to get his looking like that. It combines aspects of both his old outfit and the Fatui uniforms.

Him showing off his markings isn't just about him looking cooler. It's also that his markings aren't what they used to look like. Before, they were clear and crisp and vibrant, almost like works of art across his skin.

After his time with Osial, though, the marks have changed. Osial hated the fact that Xiao was blessed with divine marks and would tear them off over and over again until they were unrecognizable once the skin and flesh finally grew back. They're warped and faded, and you can't tell what they used to look like.

His marks are also damaged by all the scars he has covering his body, so the reason he always covered his arms (why he always wore his old gloves) is because he was ashamed of the way they looked now. He thought his ruined markings were a sign of his god abandoning him. Why would anyone want something so damaged and ugly? He's grown to hate his own body and the way it's been ruined, so he covers it all up. It gets to a point where people have forgotten he even has them. Even Morax has forgotten that he has them.

So him showing them now isn't just about looking hot (although that's definitely part of my reasoning tho lmao), it's also a show of devotion to his god, and his way of learning to love (or at least not hate) his own body again.

Xiao in the fatui is a horrifying concept for everyone involved, except maybe Xiao and darling. Xiao’s not known by mortals; none know either of his names, and no one really knows who he is, but everyone knows about the legends of the last light of the god. And now that Xiao is here, markings and scars and light on display, there’s no denying who he is. And all the markings on his body, cut through and warped by scars, go to show how powerful he is, to have been through as much as he has and to still come out alive.

The thing about Xiao is that, as stated many times before, he is loyal to no archon or nation, only to darling. So the real difference would be determined by you and how you choose to treat him.If you want him to be a ruthless murderer, he’ll do it. But if you want him to be the somewhat soft boyfriend that he’s depicted as in some fics? It’ll be hard, but he’ll definitely try.

He does hold somewhat of a level of respect for the harbingers and Tsaritsa. Of course, considering he pretty much hates everyone else in Teyvat right now, it’s not that big of an achievement.

He and Childe get along better now than they did before. They’re still not friends or anything, but they do have a sense of mutual respect. Also, now that they’re getting along somewhat, Xiao occasionally entertains Childe’s demands to fight. Of course, he doesn’t have to put that much effort into it (given by how I destroy Childe in minutes lmao) but it’s still a satisfying fight for both of them. Especially when their wonderful God is cheering them on from the sidelines.

He’s allowed to attend meetings with the Tsaritsa and the harbingers. They’ve been plotting ways to make the other nations pay for what they’ve done to you. He stays in the meetings and gives them ideas from time to time or tells them when one of their plans is something you wouldn’t like. They listen to him because, despite how much they envy him, they know that he’s your favorite and he knows you better than anyone else in Teyvat.

Basically, he’s more willing to hurt people now so long as you ask him to, and most of the fatui are either envious of his position as your personal guard and favorite, afraid of him since you can tell how experienced he is in battle by just looking at him now, or some mix of both. And also, him and the harbingers and the Tsaritsa are plotting revenge for you.

almost a year later: my completed xiao build.

hello hello !! its your friendly neighbourhood Professional Xiao Main ™ <3 i just felt like sharing this because it's taken me almost a year of farming and whatnot to somewhat 'complete' my xiao to a point where i'm incredibly proud ;; and i feel like sharing it !!

so without further ado, here is my build, dedicated to my baby boy<3

lil reminder: this is just how i've built my xiao! there is no right or wrong way really to go about it, i just wanted to show how i have him set up!

ratio

so my xiao has been through..... a lot. i had him on dragons bane for 2 months after i first got him, i didnt know how to use artifacts, he probably didn't even touch a viridescent venerer artifact until at least march or april (1-2 months after i got him LMAO)

but, after a tutorial by dango and watching genshin streamers, i began my journey to build THE perfect xiao for my playstyle. his crit ratio has been to hell and back but now i can safely say:

im hella proud of where he's at now. although i have yet to rlly test him with an anemo dmg goblet (mhy please actually give me an anemo dmg goblet i haven't had one in months that even had crit on it im begging you) this gets him to do a sizeable amount of dmg!

talents

triple crowned !! as he deserves <3

weapon

so i've had xiao on a... range of weapons, to say the least. but as a dolphin when it comes to spending, i haven't been able to offer him more than a deathmatch when it came to a weapon until i was blessed with something that sucked up all my RNG:

yeah, so i stole the homa from poor hu tao and shoved it to xiao, since i don't have the primordial jade wing. while the passive may not be really synergized with xiao's kit (namely the below 50% hp part) this weapon has nearly doubled the dmg he used to do with just the deathmatch and my artifacts.

artifacts

man, when i first used xiao, he was forced to stay on a 4 pc vv and that was..... bad. not good JAHFLS so i think the spc glad 2pc vv has been a much better fit !!! i've been hella lucky with a few of these pieces, but these are really my only best <3 they all go to him HJDFKHSLD

dmg examples

so if ya know me.... i'm a sucker for big boy dmg numbers. i love em. i love messing w builds JUST to get high numbers, i love getting high dmg.

one thing i've grown to love about xiao is that (at least for me) he doesn't hit 400k + in one sitting like other charas can, but his dmg is high, but also consistent. with this build alone w no buffs he can hit 48-60k plunges while in burst, with 28-32k dashes (when he crits)

i made a lil showcase while fighting the perpetual mechanical whatever the fuc in case anyone wants to see him do what he does best!!

anyway, yeah <3 thats my xiao hehe
