tested
Xiangling's 80-energy Burst is expensive — without a battery or Favonius weapon, expect to stack 160%+ ER. The Skill generates only 1 particles per cast on a 12s cooldown — below-average self-generation that makes battery support important.

Xiangling is the ER benchmark of Genshin Impact.
Her 80-cost Burst (Pyronado) with a 20-second cooldown is the most-studied energy economy in the game — because she's simultaneously one of the best characters and one of the easiest to build wrong.
Her Skill (Guoba Attack) generates only 3-4 Pyro particles per cast on a 12s cooldown, almost always while off-field (1.8 Energy instead of 3.0).
Her ER requirement is decided almost entirely by who else is on her team
Key Takeaways
- 80-cost Burst, 20s cooldown. One of the highest energy demands in the game.
- Self-generation is weak: ~3.5 particles per Guoba cast, often caught off-field (1.8 Energy).
- ER requirement depends almost entirely on team composition — a dedicated battery is critical.
- With Bennett as battery: 180-200% ER is the sweet spot.
- Without Bennett: ER jumps to 200-240%.

| 02 | Without dedicated battery | 200-240% | Very ER-hungry without Pyro battery |
| 03 | With Favonius Lance | 160-180% | White particles cover the gap |
