Polearms in Genshin Impact have been gaining more and more popularity thanks to the release of Zhongli and now Xiao. Even more interesting, the polearm class only has three different characters in it, with Zhongli being a defense focus character, while Xiangling and Xiao can be used as the main DPS.
