Donning the Mask of the Yaksha, Xiao takes the terrifying, demon-conquering form of the Vigilant Yaksha. But this great power has also brought him great suffering. Some call him "The Bane of All Evil."

Bane of All Evil is Xiao's Elemental Burst.

Gameplay Notes[]

  • While donning the Yaksha Mask, Xiao's Interruption Resistance is also increased.
  • The increase to Xiao's jumping ability not only increases the jump height, but increases the speed of him jumping upwards. This does not increase his falling speed.
  • Xiao can perform about 10 Plunging Attacks over this skill's duration.
  • Xiao's Plunging Attacks have their AoE increased, producing multiple spears from the ground around where he lands as a visual enhancement.
  • In this state, Xiao's Elemental Skill, Lemniscatic Wind Cycling, will not generate elemental particles, though all other sources still generate energy normally.
Passive Effects
  • Passive Talent 1, Conqueror of Evil: Tamer of Demons Conqueror of Evil: Tamer of Demons: "While under the effects of Bane of All Evil, all DMG dealt by Xiao increases by 5%. DMG increases by a further 5% for every 3s the ability persists. The maximum DMG Bonus is 25%."

Trivia[]

  • Bane of All Evil is the first Elemental Burst released with a 70 Energy Cost (see Elemental Burst § Comparison for a table).
  • Bane of All Evil is the first Talent to increase the character's natural jumping height.
  • The Chinese name for this talent is 靖妖傩舞/靖妖儺舞, which more directly translates to "Nuo Dance of Evil Conquering." This refers to how Xiao's yaksha mask is based on the masks worn in Nuo opera.
    • Its English translation, "Bane of All Evil," derives from Xiao's first Character Story, in which 靖妖傩舞/靖妖儺舞 is used as a title used to describe Xiao's experience in slaying demons. Meanwhile, Xiao's English Vision story translates 靖妖傩舞/靖妖儺舞 as "Nuo Dance of Evil Conquering," in reference to the technique used for slaying demons.
