Best Teams for Xilonen

Elemental DMG Support with RES Shred

Xilonen is a very good Elemental DMG support that can be used for nearly all PHEC DPS. Not only can she greatly boost Elemental DMG dealt as result of shredding the enemy's Elemental resistances, she can also provide sustain pairs well with Furina, who drains teamwide HP to generate Fanfare stacks for her DMG% buff.

Interestingly, Xilonen can also function as an On-Field Geo DPS, but her baseline performance in this role is known to be underwhelming in comparison to the Geo DPSes like Navia and Itto. Unless you're willing to invest more into Xilonen vertically, it's best to maintain her position as a support instead.

Mavuika Melt Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Xilonen	Peak Patrol Song └ Equip Favonius Sword if you need more Energy for the team. Archaic Petra x4 Main Energy Recharge or DEF% / DEF% / Healing Bonus or DEF% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. DEF%
Mavuika	A Thousand Blazing Suns Obsidian Codex x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery
Bennett	Aquila Favonia Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Energy Recharge / HP% / HP% or Healing Bonus Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%
Citlali	Starcaller's Watch Scroll Of The Hero Of Cinder City x4 Main EM / EM / EM Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. Elemental Mastery

With the right combos, this team variation allows for Mavuika to output some of the best DPS in the game. Melting the first hit of her Elemental Burst is essential, so it's important to ensure that the enemy has Cryo applied to them prior to using her Burst.

Rotation Of Mavuika Melt Team

Waiting a little bit in between Charged Attacks while you're on Mavuika can allow the Cryo application to catch-up, so you won't accidentally cause Citlali to become the Melt trigger instead.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Mavuika	Arlecchino Gaming	- One of Arlecchino and Gaming's best Melt team overlap with Mavuika's, including Xilonen since they're ATK-scaling On-Field Pyro DPSes who can reliably take advantage of the Melt reaction. - When paired with Arlecchino, Xilonen can skip using her Burst since she doesn't need the healing.
Bennett	Iansan	- You'll want to replace Bennett with another ATK% buffer, which as of the current version is only Iansan. - Iansan can also equip Noblesse Oblige in this setup if Citlali is using the Cinder City set.
Citlali	Rosaria Layla Kaeya	- Citlali is the best Cryo applicator for Mavuika, with her alternatives being slightly worse due to specific kit limitations. - If you find it hard to ensure that Mavuika is the one triggering the Melt without Citlali, it may be best to bring 2 Cryo Off-Fielders instead.

The best iteration of this Mavuika Melt team boasts incredible synergy that substituting can often lead to worse results. Xilonen is in fact the most replaceable in this team, with Citlali being far above the alternatives, and Bennett only having Iansan as the only viable replacement.

Elemental (PHEC) DPS Support Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Xilonen	Peak Patrol Song └ Equip Favonius Sword if you need more Energy for the team. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Energy Recharge or DEF% / DEF% / Healing Bonus or DEF% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. DEF%
Mualani	Surf's Up Obsidian Codex x4 Main HP% or Elemental Mastery Hydro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. HP% or Elemental Mastery
Mavuika	A Thousand Blazing Suns Obsidian Codex x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery
Sucrose	Sacrificial Fragments Viridescent Venerer x4 Main Elemental Mastery / EM / EM Sub 1. EM 2. Energy Recharge

Xilonen can be flexed alongside most Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo On-Field DPSes that appreciate what she has to offer. Mualani is her other best pairing due to how her passive helps to stack one of Mualani's passives as well, apart from enabling the full Cinder City 4-piece effect and providing RES shred.

Rotation Of Elemental (PHEC) DPS Support Team

Mualani's rotation is fairly straightforward, but her gameplay itself may be a little disorienting in practice due to needing to collide with an enemy for stacks. It should become easier to do on instinct after gaining enough experience playing with her gameplay loop.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Mualani	Hu Tao Neuvillette Clorinde Wriothesley	- Any Pyro, Hydro, Electro or Cryo On-Field DPS that doesn't have strict teambuilding rules can make use of Xilonen's RES shred and Healing. - Xilonen can complement "mono-element" teams, which typically consists of two characters of the same element that don't care about multiplicative reactions like Melt or Vaporize. Some famous examples are Neuvillette with Furina and Lyney with Bennett. - Xilonen can also be paired in Aggravate teams where the On-Field DPS is an Electro character. - She's also a good option for Cryo characters in Reverse Melt or even Freeze, though the latter is better suited for Escoffier.
Mavuika	Durin Pyro Traveler	- For Mualani specifically, any Off-Field Pyro applicator can be decent sidegrades to Mavuika, provided they can do it reliably every rotation. - For other DPSes, this slot can be dedicated to other key supports on their respective teams.
Sucrose	Kazuha Lan Yan Emilie Citlali	- Sucrose in a Mualani team can be replaced by any other Viridescent Venerer Anemo support. - You can also opt for a Dendro support like Emilie to trigger Burning, so that Mualani has a more consistent Pyro aura to work with, with the main downside being the lack of any other meaningful buffs. Alternatively, you can also deploy Citlali since she also shreds Hydro RES. - For other DPSes, this slot will also be filled by their other key support depending on their best team lineup.

This team archetype works for a lot of different On-Field DPSes, which makes good showcase of Xilonen's versatility. You can refer to each character's best team article to have a clearer idea of who you should be fielding with who.

Navia Support Team

Team Composition & Equipment

Character	Weapon Artifacts & Stats
Xilonen	Peak Patrol Song └ Equip Favonius Sword if you need more Energy for the team. Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City x4 Main Energy Recharge or DEF% / DEF% / Healing Bonus or DEF% Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. DEF%
Navia	Verdict Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods x4 Main ATK% or Energy Recharge / Geo DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. CRIT Rate or DMG 3. ATk%
Mavuika	A Thousand Blazing Suns Obsidian Codex x4 Main ATK% / Pyro DMG Bonus / CRIT Rate or DMG Sub 1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery
Bennett	Aquila Favonia Noblesse Oblige x4 Main Energy Recharge / HP% / HP% or Healing Bonus Sub 1. Energy Recharge 2. HP%

Since Navia needs PHEC teammates to create Crystallize shards for her Crystal Shrapnel, Xilonen is able to get PHEC Source Samples, therefor triggering her Elemental RES Shred instead of her DPS mode. Note that Xilonen is also able to shred Geo RES in this team since she will always have a Geo Source Sample active. This setup gets even better if one other teammate contributes respectable damage themselves.

Rotation Of Navia Support Team

Since Navia has two charges of her Elemental Skill, you can re-apply Xilonen's Geo RES shred before using her Skill combo a second time. Because Mavuika's Off-field Pyro has a short duration, remember to also use Mavuika's Skill (tap) before swapping back into Xilonen again, this is to maintain the Off-Field Pyro application.

Substitute Characters

Character	Sub	Details
Mavuika	Durin Furina	- Mavuika contributes her own personal damage apart from the Pyro application, but she can be replaced by Durin for the same purpose, with the performance being relatively the same if you aren't On-Fielding Mavuika for a period of time in this team. - Durin also provides more RES shred for Navia in his Confirmation of Purity mode. - Alternatively, a buffer like Furina also pairs well with Navia, and Xilonen can reliably stack her Fanfare faster with her Burst.
Bennett	Iansan	- Bennett is hard to replace for Navia since his ATK% buff is well sought after by any ATK scaling DPS like Navia. - You could make do with Iansan, but because her buff is tied to movement, you would need to dash in between Normal Attacks in order to maintain it for a time.
Navia	Noelle	- Unlike Itto who will usually want to have mostly Geo teammates, Noelle doesn't have any strict teammate criteria to be met, so she can be a perfect Navia alternative who'd use the same teammates. - Note: Despite scaling off of DEF, when paired with Xilonen, it's best to avoid teaming her with Gorou so you're able to get PHEC samples for Xilonen's RES Shred.

Usually Navia will prefer having two Pyro teammates in order to activate Pyro Resonance, which gives an ATK% buff. Durin is the best Mavuika alternative for Navia, but he becomes even better if you instead slot in Albedo in this team instead of Xilonen, this is to activate his Hexerei passive which gives more RES Shred, only enabled with another Hexerei teammate and once you finish his Witch's Homework task.
