Recommended Characters
If you have Xiao but don’t have the 5-star Primordial Jade Winged-Spear (his signature weapon), your best option is the 4-star Deathmatch. Both weapons have the CRIT Rate bonus stat and ATK-increase passive skills that buff Xiao’s damage output.
It is also important to note that Deathmatch’s passive takes effect even when the equipping character is off-field. This makes it a great choice for characters conventionally used as off-field DPS and/or support units. These include Xiangling, Rosaria, and Candace.
If you’re not entirely focusing on Zhongli‘s HP and are trying to build him with some CRIT, Deathmatch is a viable weapon for him.
Lastly, the Raiden Shogun can also benefit from the stats provided by Deathmatch. However, if you have The Catch, it’s a better weapon for her.
