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 Weapons

Chivalric Virtues
  • Willpower +156 (9/9)
  • HP +78% (9/9)

Medicant: Blight Fervor (4/9):
Treatment Efficiency +16%.
After the wielder's skill provides HP treatment, the entire team gains ATK +14.4% for 15s.
Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Chivalric Virtues increases HP Treatment (Healing) Efficiency, and grants the entire team an Attack% bonus whenever they restore HP. This is a perfect choice for a supportive character like Xaihi, acting as not just a sustain, but also helping boost the team's damage output.
Freedom to Proselytize
  • Willpower +124 (9/9)
  • Healing +37.14% (9/9)

Medicant: Redemption of Faith (9/9):
Main Attribute +14%.
When the wielder's battle skill provides HP treatment, the controlled operator is restored for another [168 + Will×1.4] HP.
Effect only triggers once every 15s.
Freedom to Proselytize is Xaihi's signature weapon, greatly boosting her raw output by increasing her Main attributes and healing, with an additional HP treatment effect for the Controlled Operator. A purely defensive option, but the extra healing can be very nice on Operators that want to take damage on purpose, or are more vulnerably to taking damage due to long animations or always being in melee.

Best Gear for Xaihi

LYNX
3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP Treatment Efficiency +20%.
When the wearer treats an allied target, the target also receives -15% from all types of damage for 10s. If the said treatment exceeds the target's Max HP, the target receives -30% from all types of damage instead. The aforementioned effects cannot stack.
The LYNX set bonus grants the wearer a sizeable HP Treatment Efficiency boost. Additionally, when overhealing by restoring more HP than the character was missing, she provides a sizable damage mitigation effect to them. Even when the HP Treatment doesn't restore the Operator beyond their maximum health, the damage reduction is still effective at half value.
  • Body: LYNX Set — Will, Intellect, Treatment Bonus
  • Gloves: Pulser Labs Offpiece — Will, Intellect, Cryo & Electric Dmg
  • Kit 1: LYNX Set — Will, Treatment Bonus
  • Kit 2: LYNX Set — Will, Treatment Bonus
To maximize the benefits of this set, it should be run with the LYNX Cuirass Chest and two LYNX Aegis Injector Kits, maximizing the HP Treatment bonus. The Pulser Labs gloves can be used as an offpiece for its Cryo damage boost and perfect Main/Secondary attributes.
Eternal Xiranite
3-piece set effect: Wearer's HP +1000.
When the wearer applies Amp, Protected, Susceptible, or Weakened, other teammates also gain ATK +16% for 15s. This effect cannot stack.
This option is a little different from the last build. Xaihi's battle skill applies an Arts Amp effect to the Controlled Operator, and a team-wide Cryo and Nature amp to the entire team with her Ultimate. In order to maximize this Amplification effect, equipping the Eternal Xiranite set is the play.
  • Body: LYNX Offpiece — Will, Intellect, Treatment Bonus
  • Gloves: Eternal Xiranite Set — Intellect, Will, Ultimate Gain Efficiency
  • Kit 1: Eternal Xiranite Set — Will, Intellect, Ultimate Gain Efficiency
  • Kit 2: Eternal Xiranite Set — Will, Intellect, Ultimate Gain Efficiency
The purpose of this build is to stack the Ultimate Gain Efficiency stat. Combining the listed pieces grant Xaihi a very sizable Ultimate Gain Efficiency boost, while still retaining some of the Treatment Bonus from the LYNX Cuirass offpiece chest.

Leveling Gear for Xaihi

While the above gear set is the optimal choice, it might take you some time before you will be able to craft it. Below is a more early and mid-game set that we recommend until you've reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

Mordvolt Resistant
3-piece set effect: Wearer's Will +50.
When the wearer's HP is below 50%, Treatment Effect +30%.
Xaihi is a Wil-Int character, so in terms of leveling she has access to the Mordvolt Resistant Blue Set early on which boosts her Treatment effect and is a good early game choice. Further in the game with purple sets she access to the Catastrophe set as well, which grants Ultimate Efficiency Gain and instant SP recovery when entering battle.
  • Body: AIC Light Offpiece — Imtellect, Will
  • Gloves: Mordvolt Resistant Set — Will, Intellect, Treatment Bonus
  • Kit 1: Mordvolt Resistant Set — Will, Intellect, Treatment Bonus
  • Kit 2: Mordvolt Resistant Set — Will, Treatment Bonus

Xaihi's Skill Priority

Skill Priority: Distributed DoS > Stress Testing = Stack Overflow > Cooldown

From our experience, Xaihi is best played as a support unit that’s applying HP Treatment (Healing) and Cryo 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.
