Weapons
DEF%
Signature support stick: after 2 Normal Attacks, grants 25% Elemental DMG Bonus to the active character and restores Energy, letting her Burst more often. Its DEF% substat also boosts heal.
Elemental Mastery
Boosts team ATK by 20% and Normal/Charged/Plunging ATK DMG after triggering 2 reactions—Xilonen's quick NA chain after Skill can proc it reliably.
Energy Recharge
Fixes team energy needs. Stack CRIT Rate to proc its particle generation; she can build ER from substats and frontload Burst for healing.
DEF%
F2P craftable with DEF% that scales her heal and shred. Restores 2 Energy per Skill hit, helping her Burst rotation without ER sands.
Energy Recharge
Placeholder only—ATK% substat is wasted; no synergy with her support kit. Swap it out as soon as any 4-star DEF% sword is available.
Artifacts
Best-in-slot: when she triggers Nightsoul Burst with her Skill, it gives 40% Elemental DMG Bonus matching her teammates' PHEC elements. Boosts entire team consistently.
Alternative if Scroll is unavailable: picking up a Crystallize shard grants 35% Elemental DMG Bonus for that element. Clunky but strong in mono/duo element teams.
If the team already has a Scroll holder, Noblesse works: using Burst grants 20% ATK to all. Sacrifices damage buffs for a reliable ATK boost.
Cheap reaction buffer: triggers a reaction to give 120 Elemental Mastery to the party. Great in Vaporize/Melt teams but only lasts 8s and needs her on-field.

Recommended Primary Stats
Xilonen's
Support
Xilonen reduces enemy Elemental RES using her Elemental Skill Samplers. Combined with Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4), this enables strong support in many team compositions.
Weapon Choices
Weapons below Favonius Sword barely affect her support performance.
Peak Patrol Song: its buff caps at 3,200 DEF.
Freedom-Sworn: competitive if the team uses both buffs. To trigger consistently, either use Burst every rotation or delay after Skill hit before normal attacking. Leveling is unnecessary.
Flute of Ezpitzal: refinements provide negligible benefit.
Artifacts
If no teammate holds Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City (4), equip it on her. Otherwise, other sets work. If healing is unneeded and Peak Patrol Song is absent, artifact stats do not matter.
Talents
Skip her Burst if healing is not required.
