Xilonen's Stat Priority
Xilonen mainly wants DEF and Energy Recharge. DEF increases both her healing and personal damage, while Energy Recharge helps ensure she can use her Burst consistently when the team needs it.
If you are using Favonius Sword, CRIT Rate becomes much more important so that she can trigger the weapon's passive reliably. In those cases, a CRIT Rate Circlet can often be her best option.
Recommended Stats for Xilonen
Build recommendations assume a support-focused Xilonen. Exact requirements can vary depending on your team, weapon choice, and whether another teammate already covers certain buffs.
Xilonen's Talent Priority
Xilonen's Elemental Skill is the most important part of her kit and should be leveled first. Her Burst is also valuable for healing and additional utility. Her Normal Attack is generally the lowest priority for her standard support build.
How to Play Xilonen
Xilonen is primarily used as a support who provides Elemental RES Shred, team buffs, and healing. Her gameplay is generally very straightforward, with most of her value coming from using her Skill and activating her Source Samples.
In most teams, Xilonen wants to enter the field, use Yohual's Scratch, perform the required attacks to activate her effects, and then swap out so the main damage dealer can benefit from her support utility.
Her Burst should be used when healing is needed or when your team rotation allows for it. If you are using a weapon such as Favonius Sword, make sure Xilonen has enough CRIT Rate to reliably trigger its passive and help battery the team.
