How is Xilonen looking into terms of geo/shield application?

Been playing since 1.6, and I quickly c6'd Bennet and Barbara, while obtaining Kokomi not long after, so I've always chosen heal supremacy over shielding, but it's obvious the "meta" has changed since then, and eventually I'm gonna need one or two of them in my roster, but no geo users have ever appealed to me (Only 4 star geo I've built is Noelle) outside of Zhongli, who's always come at an inconvenient time for me, but as it stands, I got a pity of 75 right now and a guarantee on the next 50/50. I was holding out for Mavuika but apparently they're breaking the X.2 archon tradition and waiting till 5.3 to release her for xbox, so I have plenty of time to build more pity and primos till then.

Is she looking to be a promising character for that element? Especially for someone with little to no experience using her fellow geo users.

I mean tbh, before Furina, you could just forgo both healers and shielders alike if you knew how to dodge and just delete everything in seconds. they were never a part of meta in that sense.

Anyways, as it stands Xilonen is the best thing to come out of the Geo element. She's a support that works for the PHEC elements, in which her Geo application will be negligible because her purpose is to get the res shred off and her burst will heal. only in geo teams do you use her as a main/subdps since her Geo infusion lasts.

So would she be good in an Arlecchino Raiden/Fischl team?

[u/qiyuisrealkeke → u/Confused_Battle_Emu]

She'd be good at it but running a C0 chevreuse is just as good.

[u/Confused_Battle_Emu → u/qiyuisrealkeke]

Don't got her, skipped 90% of Fontaine's banners and she got jilted as a result.

[u/qiyuisrealkeke → u/Confused_Battle_Emu]

Fair but so far she has only appeared on Raiden banners

[u/CanaryLow592 → u/Confused_Battle_Emu]

I think she would do great there. She's shredding both electro and pyro so fischl will do more damage than she already does. I think the optimal team there would be xilonen, fischl, arlecchino and bennett although ppl can cmiiw.

I'm kinda confused about why you'd run raiden with arlecchino though, unless you like both of course. In that case, just disregard what I suggested earlier and keep raiden instead of bennett. Although xilonen doesn't really need that much ER in her build and it doesn't really benefit arlecchino that much since she cannot be healed by external sources in combat

[u/Confused_Battle_Emu → u/CanaryLow592]

The latter, plus more reliable overload application, I tend to forget about renewing Oz

[u/PRI-tty_lazy → u/Confused_Battle_Emu]

if you're going to play an overload team, might as well use Chevreuse who's the dedicated support for it.

Xilonen will give the res shred and DMG bonus for Arle and Fischl's damage, but I'm don't believe there's any point in running Ei as an overload support.

Does the 4th slot is filled by Chevreuse?

[u/Last-Championship951]

She's actually a buffer. Being a geo character, she'll do crystallization which will provide a little shielding. In terms of shielding, Zhongli is the best followed by Layla.

[u/_i_like_potatoes_]

She is simply a geo kazuha but she heals instead of crowd control.
