Build 1: Arcane Boots → Echo Staff → Mask of Anguish → Scholar's Wrath → Staff of Nothingness → Sage's Codex

Tip: Arcane Boots paired with magic penetration inscriptions lets Xiao Qiao deal solid damage even in the early game, and a full-damage build afterward makes opponents afraid to dive into her meteor range.

Build 2: Boots of Calmness → Echo Staff → Mask of Anguish → Scholar's Wrath → Godslayer's Tome → Sage's Codex

Tip: Cooldown lets her poke often from the fight's edge, and spell vamp keeps her HP healthy through the skirmish.

Inscriptions: Nightmare, Insight, Hunt

Tip: Hunt's 10% move speed suits her passive's speed boost well, letting her kite from mid-to-long range with high mobility; Insight and Nightmare's penetration ensure her already-high damage still lands hard against magic resistance.
