Xilonen Build In Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact seems very careful with powercreeping. This is why Bennett remains an S-Tier unit, despite being available from version 1.0. Of course, it’s a good thing since the community doesn’t want a character they raise with love and care to be replaced easily with someone with “bigger numbers.”

Xilonen easily paves her path to being one of the best supports in the game, but still not to the point of powercreeping anyone. In fact, one may say that she’s about as strong as Kazuha. However, when paired with the right Xilonen build in Genshin Impact, her performance rises notably, mostly because of the new Natlan mechanics.

Xilonen Best Artifact In Genshin Impact

For support Xilonen, Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City is the absolute best option.

Although highly unlikely, players with spare Archaic Petra can also use it on Xilonen, as she can effectively fulfill Archaic Petra’s four-piece requirements. This is thanks to her mechanics where she needs to be paired with Pyro/Electro/Cryo/Hydro Elements and must hit the enemy a few times before her buff activates, increasing the chance of her creating an Elemental Shard and picking them up.

As for the main stat, players can go through several routes:

• Ensure high Burst uptime by using Energy Recharge Timepiece
• Maximize healing over damage using Healing Bonus Circlet
• Use Critical Rate Circlet to proc Favonius Sword’s passive

Meanwhile, DPS Xilonen goes through the typical DEF/Geo DMG Bonus/Critical Rate or DMG setup, although the Goblet can also be DEF. The difference isn’t high, so players should choose the one with the better sub-stat.

DPS Xilonen works best with Obsidian Codex. If the team includes Furina, then Marechaussee Hunter is also highly viable. Temporarily, players can also use the old Artifact set, Husk of Opulent Dreams until Obsidian Codex becomes available.

Xilonen Best Weapon In Genshin Impact

The best weapon for both support and DPS Xilonen is her signature weapon, Peak Patrol Song. For support Xilonen, you can also use swords that give DEF like Flute of Expitzal, a forgeable weapon in Natlan in Genshin Impact, or Cinnabar Spindle, an event-exclusive equipment from version 2.3. New players can also opt for Traveler’s Handy Sword to temporarily boost their Xilonen.

Outside DEF-oriented swords, you can use Freedom-Sworn to buff the team, Favonius Sword to make Xilonen a Battery, or Sacrificial Sword for the Energy Recharge sub-stat.

For DPS Xilonen, Chiori’s signature weapon in Genshin Impact, Uraku Misugiri, is the second-best option. Other Critical Rate or DMG stat-sticks like Haran Geppaku Futsu, Light of Foliar Incision, Mistsplitter Reforged, Black Sword, and Wolf-Fang are also great. Surprisingly, R5 Harbinger of Dawn potentially outperformed Haran Geppaku Futsu if players can maintain its passive at 100% uptime.
