Usually Xilonen’s best option if the DMG% is useful, with an easy trigger condition and Xilonen being able to grant the full DMG% Bonus.

2PCWhen a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, the equipping character regenerates 6 Elemental Energy.

4PCAfter the equipping character triggers a reaction related to their Elemental Type, all nearby party members gain a 12% Elemental DMG Bonus for the Elemental Types involved in the elemental reaction for 15s. If the equipping character is in the Nightsoul's Blessing state when triggering this effect, all nearby party members gain an additional 28% Elemental DMG Bonus for the Elemental Types involved in the elemental reaction for 20s. The equipping character can trigger this effect while off-field, and the DMG bonus from Artifact Sets with the same name do not stack.

Xilonen main stats and substats

Burst · 60 energy

Sands: Energy Recharge / DEF% (Anything)Energy Recharge Sands can be considered if Xilonen’s Burst is needed frequently, and DEF% can be considered for her signature or if her healing on Burst is not sufficient for the player, as well as a negligible amount more damage.
Goblet: DEF% (Anything)DEF% can be considered for her signature, healing strength, and/or a negligible amount of damage.
Circlet: Healing% / DEF% / CRIT Rate (Anything)Healing Bonus can be used to maximize her healing, while a DEF% Circlet helps with this while also helping cap her Signature’s passive. CRIT Rate should be used when holding Favonius Sword to help trigger its passive, while also offering a negligible amount of additional damage.

Substat priority

Highest first

1ER = DEF%Best

Energy Recharge% is a consideration only if Xilonen’s Burst is needed frequently for survivability, while DEF% improves her healing strength. Neither is particularly important, however, with Xilonen only having stat priorities if needed for her weapon: namely DEF for Peak Patrol Song and CRIT Rate for Favonius.

Xilonen talent priority

Upgrade in this order

#1
Skill
Max first
#2
Burst
Then

Xilonen’s Skill improves the strength of her RES Shred and is the only talent that requires levelling. Burst can be levelled to improve her healing if needed.

Xilonen rotation

If Xilonen has at least 2 non-Geo teammates, she uses her Skill followed by two Normal Attacks to activate her RES Shred.

Her Burst can be used when healing is needed. Optimally, it is used during her field time, but can be used at any point as an emergency button.

Xilonen FAQ

3 questions

What stat does Xilonen scale on?

Xilonen's abilities multiply DEF. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.

What is the best weapon for Xilonen?

Uraku Misugiri is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on DEF. Cinnabar Spindle is the best 4-star alternative.

Which artifact set should Xilonen use?

Archaic Petra. Its 2-piece bonus is: Gain a 15% Geo DMG Bonus. Its 4-piece bonus is: Upon obtaining an Elemental Shard created through Crystallize or triggering a Lunar-Crystallize reaction, all party members gain a 35% DMG Bonus for that particular element for 10s. Only one form of Elemental DMG Bonus can be gained in this manner at any one time.
