Unleash The Power Of Xilonen: The Ultimate Genshin Impact Build Guide

Watch out, our Genshin Impact Xilonen build is here to sharpen this kitty’s claws! A powerful geo sword-wielder, Xilonen has a truly unique kit that allows you to skate around Natlan, busting moves both off and on the battlefield. So let’s take a look at her skills, best weapons and artifacts, and more.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Xilonen build guide.

What’s the best Xilonen build?

Xilonen is a five-star geo sword wielder. She’s best suited to a support or sub-DPS role where her allies can make the most of her powerful res shred, and is capable of offering a single-target heal with her elemental burst, but she relies on having at least two pyro, hydro, cryo, or electro allies on her team in order to make the most of her kit.

Here’s a brief overview of our best Xilonen build:

Rarity★★★★★
ElementGeo
WeaponSword
Best weaponPeak Patrol Song
Substitute weaponsUraku Misuguri, Flute of Ezpitzal
Best artifact setScroll of the Hero of Cinder City
Artifact substitutesHusk of Opulent Dreams, or 2pc Husk of Opulent Dreams, 2pc Emblem of Severed Fate
Main stats-Sands: def% or energy recharge
-Goblet: def% or geo damage bonus
-Circlet: def%, crit damage, or crit rate
Sub-statsDef%, energy recharge, crit damage/rate

Xilonen’s best weapon is her signature five-star, Peak Patrol Song, though her best F2P option is the four-star Flute of Ezpitzal. Her best artifact set for most situations is Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, though Husk of Opulent Dreams is a solid option if you intend to play her as a geo DPS rather than a res shredder support.

Her kit predominantly scales off her defense stat, so def% is her highest priority. Beyond that, in a geo res shredder support role, you should aim to get her to around 170-200% energy recharge, then focus on her crit damage and rate, aiming for a 2:1 damage:rate ratio.

Alternatively, you can choose to give her a healing bonus circlet if you intend to use her as a solo support. However, you do miss out on an opportunity to give her more defense or crit by choosing this option, and her healing isn’t the most reliable unless you have her at C6, so it depends on whether you feel it’s worth the trade-off.

As Xilonen’s res shred scales solely off the level of her elemental skill, we recommend leveling that up as quickly as possible. After that, you can level her elemental burst to boost both her damage and healing abilities. You should leave her normal attacks until last as they’re the least important part of her kit and only impact her personal damage a little.

How to use Xilonen

Xilonen is a unique character best suited to a res shredder support role. Her kit does give her some flexibility, allowing her to act as a sub-DPS or geo DPS, and even a healer with her elemental burst, especially at C6. Xilonen’s elemental skill is the most important part of her kit – when activated, she switches to combat blades and skates around, dealing Nightsoul-aligned geo damage based on her defense.

The most useful part of her skill are the Source Samplers. She has three Samplers which are all initially geo, but for each party member who wields the power of pyro, hydro, cryo, or electro, one geo sample changes to that corresponding element. When the Samplers are active, all nearby opponents’ corresponding elemental resistance decreases. This resistance shred is incredibly valuable for teams with a DPS of these elements. She can also excel in geo-focus teams, as long as there are two non-geo characters to activate her buffs. Xilonen’s elemental burst dishes out a decent amount of geo damage in an AoE around her. But, if she has two different elements of Samplers, she can heal the active character at set intervals.

As long as you’re mindful of your team’s health and ensure you only activate Xilonen’s burst at the right time, it allows her to fill multiple roles at once, making room for more damage dealers.

Xilonen’s best support combo revolves around you using her elemental skill, followed by two normal attacks, and then her elemental burst. This activates her Samplers and allows your main DPS to take advantage of her res shred and healing from her burst.

What’s Xilonen’s best weapon?

Xilonen’s best weapon is her signature five-star Peak Patrol Song. Its skill is tailored perfectly to her kit, offering her a defense and elemental damage bonus when her normal or plunging attacks hit an enemy. Additionally, when this effect reaches two stacks, it increases all party members’ elemental damage bonus based on Xilonen’s defense. And, as the icing on the cake, it also has a very handy defense bonus stat.

Naturally, this is incredibly valuable to Xilonen in a res shred support role, boosting not only her personal damage but also her team’s overall damage, and making the damage window provided by her skill even more impactful.

The Uraku Misugiri is also a decent weapon for Xilonen, especially when she’s acting as a geo DPS in a double-geo team. It gives her a flat boost to her normal attack and elemental skill damage that increases further when a nearby active character deals geo damage. However, its defense increase isn’t anywhere near as potent as what she’d get from a defense bonus stat weapon, which means you need
