[@neilgondra7379]

They do the same with some differences: Xilonen can heal, shred Geo, and buff Geo by scroll set, while Kazuha can group and deal more personal damage. All in all, go for it, a second Kazuha is once in a blue moon than Cryo 5-stars nowadays.

[@consciousnesshidden]

Xilonen has another slight (but imo, non-negligible) upside to Kazuha: Kazuha's buffs and VV's debuffs both depend on Kazuha swirling the right element(s). For Xilonen, only the scroll buff depends on crystallizing the right element. Since her own debuff only needs her to NA, she will ALWAYS grant the res shred. This becomes especially noticeable against enemies with a permanent elemental aura. They are pretty rare, but when they DO appear, they are kinda a pain (Hydro Tulpa, the Phantasm Local Legends, the Fatui Local Legends with their elemental shields etc) to use Kazuha against.

[@JohnJillky]

​@@consciousnesshiddenyeah, and bc of priorities, you can't even swirl hydro on an enemy with a permanent electro aura (but hydro enemies are fine for electro swirling). Rare where this matters ofc, but something to note

[@mayukhmondal5552]

Right and xilonen also has a 15 uptime and multiwave shread . Which makes a very very noticeable difference in mobbing content in my experience So I see it like this. Xilonen is absolutely an upgrade to kazuha in Single target, and sidegrade to aoe The only content where she feels remarkable worse than kazuha is essentially Venti content with spread out hoards of low hp enemies

[@apanaama3703]

The longer buff more than overshadows the extra personal dmg. Also Geo dmg buff. And her damn sword even buffs dendro. Kazuha can use the sword too but not as well as her. Grouping and swirling to spread elements is his biggest advantage. He does have a major disadvantage by being hard countered by enemies with their own aura. Xilonen will still buff some based on your team's element.

[@LoDawn]

For xilonen on navia. I think it's not a huge buff to navia, but it is for furina. With xilonen heal, you can have more fanfare, your furina passive proc, and you gain just more overall dmg on your pets. The team is more comfy, the rotation are smother. Yes, the navia gain is not that big, but the furina gain is insane !

Are you honestly saying that Xilonen is not a big upgrade over Albedo or ZL for Navia teams? Yeah…

[@StanTheWoz]

Yeah I play Navia a lot and I think the closest argument would be that she's not a large upgrade over Chiori if you're playing Navia without Furina. But that's a pretty narrow slice of people.

[@cedrusnguyen5188]

Her 40% damage bonus buff from Cinder set is somewhat equal to the 30-45% from the 2-3 bullets that Navia misses out on. Her 36% shred is comparable to the personal damage of Albedo and Chiori depend on the level of investment into Navia. With Xilonen in the team, it's easier to overkill some enemies and harder to finish them off sometimes. So yeah, slight upgrade for some people, slight downgrage for the others.

[@the_knave01]

Fuck the theorycrafters, i played my navia with c0r1 xilonen and a huge upgrade over zhongli. And we dont talk about mid-ori or mid-bedo

[@wankssy]

Can you share where you are getting those numbers from since they are so specific? they seem very similar to ones that I have seen that are incredible optimistic about 1 doll Chioris dmg, also idk why you are even mentioning Albedo since he does less dmg than 1 doll Chiori

[@ishimito]

In teams when you use Bennett Xilonen is barely an upgrade over my Albedo (he has Spindle though). However, when you have good 5* claymore for Navia that makes her less Bennett dependant (I use Beacon on mine) then Navia - Xilonen - Furina - Yelan is a very notiveable upgrade over double pyro teams just because Xilonen buffs Furina and Yelan a lot plus these two benefit quite a lot from being played together. But that team is also less frontloaded than usual Navia teams which makes it less popular for proper speedruns.

[@vht1]

[@IramDiaz]

You are making a lot of emphasis in how she doesn't have grouping in the comparison with kazuha(grouping is not that needed anymore with the tanky big bosses that we get in abyss these days), but 0 emphasis in her synergy with furina, even tho it was mentioned for a second that is a big plus!!! Even tho she doesn't fulfill all the healing requirements that furina has she at least makes her work without having another healer in the team Allowing you to make hypercarry comps for almost any main dps in the game raiden, noelle, arle and the list goes on and on All of them work with one of the combinations of xilonen furina , kazuha - xilonen furina yelan - xilonen furina benny

[@snailwhale6673]

In regards to Xilonen's healing, it's likely because there are so many viable healers which makes her healing not stick out as much. As for Kazuha's grouping, some content might not need it right now but at the same time you dont wanna get caught not having it. Right now Kazuha is the most bang for your buck crowd control unit with arguably more use cases than Xilonen in general.

[@soroushkowsarian3364]

No one can predict future abyss, if you don't have grouping in an abyss with tanky multiwave multi enemy abyss, you really can't do well. While if you can group in an abyss with groupable enemies, you will have the easiest time of your life

[@snailwhale6673]

@@IramDiaz Yeah that is a very good point, which makes the debate kinda frustrating cause ideally you would want both. However, in terms of having limited resources to pull a person might need to make a choice between only having one of them.

[@RexamCoding]

I found Xilonen to be much more comfortable in Arlecchino teams rather than in Neuvillette teams and this is because Xilonen's range for resistance shred is decent but not that big so that you can always stay on a safe distance from your target with Neuvillette. In Arlecchino teams tho you are going to stay very close to the enemies and so you are guaranteed you won't lose her resistance shred. In addition, I found needing Xilonen's healing much much less in Arlecchino teams than in Nuvillette teams where you want to burst every rotation instead because of Furina. That said, my Neuvillette CA does 60k per thick with Xilonen, Furina and Kazuha and that is another level of satisfaction.

I think an angle that you don't mention often in your comparisons is pulling. For example you make good arguments for Kazuha and Xilonen, but I'd simply add a priority on if someone doesn't have Kazuha. After all upgrades or downgrades only matter if you own the original product. Just my 2 cents.

I play Xilonen in my Arlecchino team. Arlecchino, Yelan, Xilonen, Bennett. I LOVE this team. The long buff uptime means I do get to swap back onto her and double crystalize. And it isn’t an issue. Also with Fav Sword, her energy requirements are essentially 0 on my team. So I use her burst for crystalizing Yelan’s hydro. And I have to say, not needing to vv swirl on new enemies, combined with the super long buff uptime, means my rotations are more comfortable and efficient than ever. And the CC isn’t really an issue bc I tend to bring this team to boss-oriented chambers.

[@lucascarvalho8606]

I think the abyss multiplier actually have a pretty simple explanation, everytime a new character is released the current abyss is made in a way that the new character have some advantage in it to make them seem more usefull. Xilonen's core feature revolves around resintance shred so they made the enemies more tanky in order for the players who use her feel like they have the uper hand and those who don't feel like they need her. To summarize, it's just a marketing strategy.

Zajef missed the opportunity to cover Ayaka's new bis team. Ayaka's issue in Furina freeze team with Kazuha was that it is hard to stop Furina's hydro application without switching alignment. So most time Kazuha will be shredding hydro instead of cryo (PHEC priority), making Ayaka's damage plummet. However in Ayaka Furina freeze team with Xilonen, Xilo can shred both hydro and cryo, and her burst can cover defensive slot and generate Fanfare which Kazuha team couldn't.

I don’t see much difference between Kazuha and Xilonen; however, I got so tired having Kazuha everywhere that sometimes I just play Venti instead, even when CC won’t work properly, in floor 12.

mualani > neuv is a take that would exist in 1.0

[@doggypoofy1390]

she clears faster for minority, neuv is better for majority(skill issue) and more versatile, rip mualani against electro aura

[@joe_simon]

​@@doggypoofy1390 I think the best take on it is that Mualani is (at the peak) the strongest carry in the game but not the best carry in general. The best carry in general is Neuvillette for everything else he has while doing really good damage even if it isn't the peak.

[@CostabiIe]

I mean for speedrunners and people that hyperoptimize she is better tough, she clears quite a bit faster. It's just that Neuv is better for all the normal people with skill issue, which is the majority. It depends on what you want to do who is better. It's not like in 1.0 where people unironically thought Diluc was one of the best characters, which was not true in any context.

[@aeowinh]

@@doggypoofy1390 Even for that minority it is a lot of resets if you want to clear faster than Neuvillette, even for people that care about rotations the people that actually try to get fast clear is a minority and even inside that minority, the people that have the patience to retry so you get the proper enemy rng and application of elements to get the fastest clear is a minority in a minority in a minority.

[@tama5380]

mualani can actually be alot better than she is rn with mavuika whereas neuvi's team is pretty much finalised, i would say they will be roughly the same in future butw neuvi will still be the best general dps with no downsides whatsoever. Kinich>alhaitham is a 1.0 take for sure and i dont ven have alhaitham. kinich is seriously just a way better yoimiya with actual damage for me he suffers abit in aoe and multiwave unfortunately

C1 Neuvilette really feels like cheating now

[@alfredxsiv]

i would personally say they are about the same i.e. this symbol ≈ and its mostly gonna depend on which characters you want to main (that characters you comfortably use in abyss) or the characters you just generally like using. A lot of people are already pointing out their differences that honestly balances out their pros and cons. case 1: kazuha is good in the overworld cause you can E mid air and group the dropped items. but hey xilonen is also good in the overworld as she has traversal part in her kit, and as an innate healer you don't have to bring/build a healer with you unless you're a madman that uses food/statue to heal in the overworld. case 2: kazuha is better cause he just have higher personal damage especially in AoE dendro teams. but kazuha also doesn't do anything (except if you're insane and use kazu just to group enemies) in geo teams while xilonen is an upgrade in terms of damage compared to other options. case 3: kazuha can self infuse elements, if used correctly can increase the DPS of the team. xilonen's buffing is separate from her healing, making you stack fanfare with furina easier without losing buff uptime with furina. you can endlessly do this and have some sort of counterpoint over the other, which honestly convinces me, again, that they are about the same.

Favonius sword: welcome to my shred society.

[@tariak69420]

save 30 minutes: Xilonen goated, Kazuha goated but slightly more because grouping is very valuable

How rotten is zajef's brain with propaganda that he suggested xq+furina over yelan+furina in hu tao comps... Sadge.

[@austinwirtz2434]

How does Arlecchino Xingqui, Yelan, Xilonen sound and what would the rotation be? Like do I go for hydro and pyro scroll or just one of them aka: Arle EQE > Xilonen En2 > XQ QE > Yelan QE > Xilonen En2 > Arle string Arle EQE > Xilonen En2 > XQ QE > Yelan QE > Arle string Arle EQE > XQ QE > Yelan QE > Xilonen En2 > Arle string Any ideas?

[@Shane_A_M]

If anyone is wondering what the difference between C0R1 Xilonen and C0R1 Chiori for Navia teams is: Xilonen is about 10% better for team damage with Furina/Benny. If you have C1 Chiori already there is no upgrade from getting C0 Xilonen. I also am partial to Navia plunge with Furina/Xianyun, and in that case Chiori is very good when Giga-buffed by Furina.

[@Nadi-Ger]

gotta at least leave an upvote and comment. I didn't really like Xilonen but got one one my second account, I don't use her in the overworld, but she's pretty nice instead of anemo, I just played VV too long, the 10sec isn't good enough for me anymore.

[@Sacred__]

Is using Archaic Petra on another team member in Xilonen teams actually worth it?

[@heavenlyfebruary]

one thing about her that surprised me is she heals a ton

[@cachumbos1125]

extremely minor point but i really prefer to use fav sword on Xilonen compared to Kazuha since her DEF stats aren't as important to stack compared to Kazuha's EM stats, so using a crit chance artifact doesn't feel as weird

[@caliburnleaf9323]

As someone with c1 tao, c2 furina, and no arle, tao/xq/furina/xilo has become my new favorite team in abyss this patch. Hitting triple digit CAs on the regular feels so good (edit: I mean six digit, was thinking in thousands), while having absurd levels of survivability. No circle impact, no jank swirl setups. Just good vibes and huge damage.

[@radical_measures]

Triple digit?! Did you mean 6 digits per chance?

what’s the consensus on noelle xilonen furina yelan?

[@stakcdn1]

Actual navia main here, xilonen is a much bigger upgrade that zaj is making it seem like. I’m sure he’s underselling bc it’s a bad look to tell people to pull but I don’t care about that, I’m telling you to pull her if you’re a navia main

[@StanTheWoz]

Yep. Especially in any scenario where you can't use Bennett but want to use Furina, Xilonen is a MASSIVE upgrade over most other healer options

[@tristanmanalo6252]

Well he is underselling everyone so it's a fair competition I guess? 😅😅😅 If she gets a good rate to Zaj then it means she is great 👌

[@asummusa2023]

He actually said she is a big upgrade in some teams which doesn't seem like undertelling to me, in general, in Navia teams, getting enough crytallizes is better than any other external buffs, I know you've been waiting for a geo Navia dedicated support for so long so coping with what you get might blind you from some factors in the equation

[@sakutaro3musik486]

i don´t think you have real knowledge or data only your feeling, that doesn´t make for a good argument

[@het7644]

I’m struggle with 3 Navia stacks with Xilonen if enemy is cringe and runs from your NA, so i actually prefer Chiori on this slot (yes even c0)

[@kevynrodrigues9500]

I got her in 78 pity and before I do it more 10 pulls and got her C2 in one 10 pull, in her case I only use her on Neuvillete team I have to chance anything on Neuvillete buil because of that?

[@MrGshinobi]

Anyone else super dissapointed by the xilonen itto teams? they just feel awkward to play and REALLY energy hungry, it may be because i'm too used to having Gorou be joined at the hip to Itto at all times where playing Itto without gorou just feels awkward to me but idk.

It's probably a stupid question, but when you refer to speedruns, do you mean Abyss speedruns? How is speedruns different to "normal" runs. I thought we are trying to have the strongest (fastest?) team anyways. I don't know the basics, sorry xD Maybe you could make a vid for noobs

[@KGC2018]

I’m personally loving Navia, Furina, Bennett, Xilonen team compared to my previous Navia, XL, Bennett, ZL just due time the high numbers of Navia’s E after a perfect rotation. Can anyone suggest a better or comparable team for my Navia? Just to check it myself.
