Xiao (Genshin Impact)

==Summary==
Xiao is an Adeptus, a nigh-immortal and non-human being worshiped as a deity in Liyue. He is one of the Five Yakshas, the most elite among Yakshas that Rex Lapis have directly tasked to defend Liyue through the slaughter of all manner of abominations formed by the lingering wrath of ancient gods in the Archon War.
Due to his countless years of slaughter, regardless of his doing so to protect Liyue, he is plagued by bad karma that eats away at his flesh down to his soul, causing him endless excruciating pain. Still, he persists in his duties, all the same, eventually becoming regarded among Adepti as one of the strongest of their kind.

Notable Attacks and Techniques:
Anemo Vision: A Vision is a gift from the gods of Teyvat that allows humans to wield elemental powers, turning them into Allogenes. However, as an Adeptus, it is implied that Xiao received his Vision through a different means. Regardless, Xiao's Vision is Anemo-attributed, thus granting him the ability to control wind energy.
*Whirlwind Thrust: Xiao's standard form of attack with his spear. As a result of his nature, Xiao is immune to fall damage so long as he performs an aerial attack.
*Lemniscatic Wind Cycling: Xiao's elemental skill, where he transforms into Anemo energy and lunges forward with his spear at blistering speeds.
*Bane of All Evil: Xiao's elemental burst; a ritual where he dons the Yaksha Mask that inspired fear in gods and monsters millennia ago. This ability cleanses karma and dramatically enhances the power and range of all of his attacks, particularly his jumping strength and dive attack, for a limited time - at the cost of slowly eating away at his vitality. When performed in areas with high concentrations of divine karma, Xiao can use this ability indefinitely and restore his health by damaging his enemies.
*Conquerer of Evil - Tamer of Demons: While under the effects of Bane of All Evil, Xiao's attacks grow 5% stronger for every few moments the ability is active.
*Dissolution Eon - Heaven's Fall: Using Lemniscatic Wind Cycling increases the damage of subsequent uses by 15%.
*Dissolution Eon - Destroyer of Worlds: Increases the number of times Xiao can utilize Lemniscatic Wind Cycling in quick succession by 1.
*Conqueror of Evil - Wrath Deity: Greatly increases the potency of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling.
*Transcension - Extinction of Suffering: When Xiao's HP falls below 50%, his defensive power doubles.
*Evolution Eon - Origin of Ignorance: Greatly increases the potency of Bane of All Evil.
*Conqueror of Evil - Guardian Yaksha: While Bane of All Evil is active, hitting at least two opponents with his plunge attack will immediately enable his next Lemniscatic Wind Cycling. For the next 1 second, he can use Lemniscatic Wind Cycling continuously.
