At 6:30 I mention Itto teams, but I forgor the Nightsoul gets deactivated if she swaps out. I correct it later in the video but I forgor to tell the editors to cut it out

[pavica]

Fun fact. Xilonens skill has more text than Razors entire kit

[Vaporizedmyfeelings]

Thanks Xilonen for finally making Neuvillette playable 😍

[CurbYourGames]

Xilonen is gonna make D tier characters like Neuvillette OP TRUST!!
THANK YOU HOYOVERSE!

[neo.]

this do be xingqiu and yelan again where you just use them on both teams in abyss or maybe even on the same team

[Senorgato]

Eventually the kazuha v xilonen debacle will chill when people realize there very similar but have slightly different use cases, like what happened when yelan dropped

[mainakbiswas]

With Xilonen on the team, a Neuvillette charge attack Will kill the other enemies in 2nd Half of the abyss too

[Prince-Angelito]

I'm so glad Xilonen will buff weak and unusable characters like Neuvillette and Mualani... They really needed the help 😔🙏

[PJelJr]

I would like to mention Narzissenkreuz Sword as a very niche counter to certain fontaine enemies/bosses to furhter stun them, given how her ER requirements are easy to meet and her her Def Scaling healing isn't that needed to minmax

[Emilio_Valadez]

C2 xilonen fixes dori's uptime NOWAYING

[rbpcuus]

Noelle double hydro is unstoppable now, she can't stop winning 💥

[mattsopiratoso]

No, she'll do better than replace him.
She'll be a second slot Kazuha for an extra team, which makes her even more valuable.

[ronmexico]

The general Genshin communities Xilonen/Kazuha comparison discourse has been so painful to read.

[vladdyru]

Can't wait for all the lunatics to arrive and start gaslighting people that Kazuha is basically unplayable now, and that everyone who still uses him is pretty much done for.

[infrnlmssh]

7:13 We are thoroughly offended by this and we shall take vengeance.

Much love.

The Phys YaoYao gang.

It’s so disappointing how hard they seemed to try to make her not work for geo teams. Geo as an element has been in the dumpster for so long now and every new geo character we get our hopes up that they might fix it, only for the new character to be actively anti synergistic with other geo characters.

Edit: to clarify a bit, obviously Xilonen will still function in some geo teams and provide relevant buffs, but the design of her buffs is clearly meant to disincentivize mono geo teams because you lose significant buffs from her kit in exchange for more self-damage that she doesn’t really care about.

[THESocialJusticeWarrior]

He said she is "quite good". Oh no.

[wideozludrawz]

what is this normal thumbnail doing on a zajef77 video?! D:

[hoanhaimai]

She provides Kazuha-level buffs and debuffs without any difficult setup. The only thing Kazuha can do but she can't, is grouping. Instead, she can heal.

I think that's enough. Who tf doesn't want another Kazuha?

[hallyuniverse]

Another team she enables is a Freeze Hypercarry setup. Cryo DPS + Shenhe + Xilonen + Furina. Before it was really hard to slot Shenhe into Furina teams (since the best healer option was Charlotte for Freeze) but Xilonen being able to easily buff Cryo damage + fill the healer role + not mess with reactions due to her low Geo application really helps the team. I can see her really helping out characters like Ayaka who have fallen off.
