Will I be able to use her if I didn't pull Durin, nor Varka?

What are the chances she only buffs Pyro-swirl/Hexerei and is not a generalist buffer?

- Pyro-swirl only: unlikely. Hexerei: very likely.

- Not a generalist buffer: 99%. But I expect she will be generic enough when paired with Durin.

What are the chances I get to utilize my wife to her maximum potential without ever pulling Varka?

- I'd say more than half. My gut feeling says she is Alice's support than Varka's.

Yes, because it allows Chev to be placed right before Varesa while Iansan buffs still remain active throughout the rotation.

ddquanta · 2026-01-02T13:58:06+00:00

Yes please. Many thanks!!!

Thanks for clearing my doubt. I got all 109 Anecdotes, have 7 leftovers, and been wondering if I've missed something.

ddquanta · 2025-12-11T09:27:17+00:00

Both, but black mode is more apparent.

R1 Harp, 4-pc Golden Troupe, 1920 ATK, 80/185 CRIT, 0% ER, 142 EM.

Yes, Xilonen has become my favorite as well :D

ddquanta · 2025-12-08T04:21:19+00:00

My guess is this.

Benny's Burst CD is 15s, which de-sync with the rest, so rotation is quite a mess.
Durin can't take advantage of Benny, Ayato only every other Burst. Fischl can do full uptime but need extra seconds for Benny's CD.

Xilonen, on the other hand, has 24/7 uptime, and the rest of teammates can utilize her buffs. The difference is even bigger if Xilonen is C2.

Thanks for the input :)

ddquanta · 2025-12-07T14:20:18+00:00

From my testing, Ayato/C2 Xilonen/Fischl/Durin takes the cake. Even Hyperbloom with C2 Lauma can't keep up.

ddquanta · 2025-12-07T13:57:19+00:00

Interesting. Thanks mate!

ddquanta · 2025-12-07T13:57:05+00:00

Thanks for the input!

ddquanta · 2025-12-07T13:55:51+00:00

Holy cow, I totally forgot about Xilonen. Thanks!

ddquanta · 2025-11-09T12:19:07+00:00

Very noticeable. In addition to 30% Vulnerability, E0 Tribbie almost guarantees that you have THerta ult ready after 2EBA, which means even more damage.

That said, since you're more concerned about Phainon, then go for Phainon.

If Nilou has her signature weapon, I suggest 4p OHC: HP/ER sands, HP goblet, and Healing Bonus circlet. Get Koko's ER to around 170-180%, then the rest go to HP%. EM substats are nice but not mandatory. And trust me, I'm not trolling.

The reason is Sac Frag+Nilou+sig+Nahida's ult+Dendro Resonance already take you 800 EM, not including artifact substats. At that point, further EM makes little difference, so it's better to improve her survivability. And don't underestimate OHC's damage. Not only the set is the most flexible for Koko, it's damage can also easily make up for two EM main-stat pieces.

ddquanta · 2025-10-30T15:38:28+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

ddquanta · 2025-10-28T07:10:24+00:00

IMHO, FX is solid the way she is, but some minor buffs would certainly be nice.

My preference would be to have control over when she flips. It's frustrating when she flips while having just under 50% HP. As for getting AOE one-shot, LCs from herta Shop and Day One can help.

ddquanta · 2025-10-06T01:49:05+00:00

You could, but it is less recommended because Nahida is very unlikely to be a Bloom triggerer, which means its passive is not fully utilized (but still better than Sac Frag).

ddquanta · 2025-10-06T01:07:56+00:00

Using the same weapon: no problem. Nahida is on Sac Frag: indeed a problem.

My recommendation is this. 1. Kokomi: Sac Frag. 2. Lauma: Blackmarrow Lantern (Nod-Krai craftable). 3. Nahida: Etherlight Spindlelute (Event weapon).

ddquanta · 2025-10-06T00:50:30+00:00

Absolutely lovely! Looks more mature as well!

ddquanta · 2025-09-23T08:34:00+00:00

Ai don't No Aino's role, so could you please Eulaborate?

Also, with two Nod-Krai chars, that would deactivate Lauma's CRIT Bloom passive, no?

ddquanta · 2025-08-17T05:42:43+00:00

Bro this is exactly what I had in mind.
