Xiao is one of the last surviving Yakshas, ancient warriors who purged Liyue of demonic remnants. His Elemental Burst, "Bane of All Evil," transforms him into a masked demon hunter, enhancing his jumping ability and infusing his attacks with Anemo—but at the cost of his own HP. He fights with relentless precision, preferring plunging attacks to crush foes from above.
