Xavier Pros and Strength

Clash Defender

A RK 11 Xavier can one shot the entire enemy team when he is set as a Defender in your PvP/Clash Lineup. By combining [Spear of Iria] and [Falling Commet Dash], Xavier will always take his turn before the enemy, and if the attacking player places his units too close to one another, Xavier can sweep their entire team with a well-placed [Falling Commet Dash].

Equip Double-Sided Halberd

To maximize Xavier's one shot teamwipe potential, equip Xavier with the Double-Sided Halberd as well as The Magician Tarot. Both of these equips synergize well with AoE attacks and will help Xavier reach the enemy HP threshold for that satisfying one shot.

Physical Glass Cannon

Xavier has very high offensive potential, but his defensive stats and HP are sorely lacking for him to be viable in high-level content. This is because due to the fact that maximizing Xavier's offensive potential means sacrificing a portion of his defensive stats with [Risky Move]. This implies that Xavier is best played as a sweeper. This way, you can eliminate multiple enemies while giving Xavier the best chance to survive for his next turns.
