Xaihi Guide and Best Builds

Xaihi Guide & Best Builds

Welcome to our Xaihi build guide for Arknights: Endfield. Xaihi is a 5-star Arts Unit Supporter Character available in Arknights: Endfield who utilizes the Cryo element.

In our Xaihi guide, we'll cover everything you need to know to get the most out of your Xaihi, from building the best Gear and Weapons, to important stat priorities and combos.

Xaihi's Best Essences

Essences are one of the repeatedly farmable ways to further boost the damage of your Xaihi. Which area and essence you will want to farm will depend on the weapon you are playing, as not all Essences are compatible with every weapon. Essences will increase the stats of your weapon, as well as enhance the passive effect it provides.

• Chivalric Virtues: Will, HP Boost, and Medicant, farmable in Power Plateau, and Wuling City.
• Freedom to Proselytize: Will, Treatment Efficiency Boost, and Medicant, farmable in Power Plateau, and Wuling City.
• Fluorescent Roc: Will, Attack Boost, and Suppression, farmable in The Hub, and Originium Science Park.

Essences can be further upgraded through a system called Etching which will be a long-term investment due to how much Sanity it takes to fully max out a weapon. You may therefore want to farm and Etch Essences for a signature weapon already if you plan on getting it in the near-future, even if you do not have the weapon yet. A simple +1/+1/+1 Essence for a temporary weapon like Fluorescent Roc will be good enough until you can get your hands on Chivalric Virtues or Freedom to Proselytize.

Xaihi's Skill Priority

From our experience, Xaihi is best played as a support unit that’s applying HP Treatment (Healing) and Cryo Infliction as often as possible. To this end we want to start with her Battle Skill Distributed DoS, which boosts her Arts Amp and Treatment scaling values. Next we go either with her Combo Skill or her Ultimate, both are good, and both work fine. Her Combo skill only gains additional damage multiplier, but it has a low cooldown and will be used very often. Meanwhile for utility, her Ultimate offers both Cryo and Nature base Amp increases, as well as scaling the maximum amp possible.

How to Play Xaihi

Xaihi is a Cryo Support Operator who specializes in HP Treatment (Healing) and can apply Cryo Infliction. Her Battle Skill Distributed DoS is central to her playstyle, summoning an Auxiliary Crystal that orbits the controlled operator. The crystal restores the Operator's HP when a Final Strike is performed on an, and triggering this effect at max HP grants an Arts Amp instead of restoring HP. After an Auxiliary Crystal has used up its HP Treatment charges, Xaihi can trigger her Combo Skill Stress Testing to launch the Crystal at enemies, dealing Cryo damage and Cryo Infliction.

This loop makes up a majority of Xaihi's gameplay, but in addition to the utility of the HP Treatment and Cryo Infliction, she also has the ability to Amplify Nature and Cryo damage through her Ultimate. The size of the Amp scales with with Xaihi's Intellect stat. A very simple yet effective Battle Skill > Combo Skill > Ultimate rotation allows her to not only grant HP Treatment very reliably, but also majorly boost the Controlled Operator's Arts damage and the entire team's Cryo and nature damage. Truly a perfect Support.
