Review

Xiada, the Alluring Enchantress, is one of the few ramping DPS, whose damage progressively improves multiple times throughout the fight and ends up skyrocketing her to the first place of the AOE Damage rankings, both sustained and burst (with a condition).

Xiada’s passive, her S2, offers her stackable ATK and CRIT DMG whenever she receives 3 times, up to 3 stacks. The buff is represented by a unique Buff, [Soul Flames], which also appears around Xiada in the form of gently floating flames. Every buff that is separately applied or reapplied counts, but positive effects that do not appear in the BUFF bar/tab are not counted towards the stacks’ progress. This means that Turn Meter boost and Cleanse do not count, nor does Buff Extension.

If you’re getting confused, keep this in mind: If a new icon appears in the BUFF bar or is moved in position on said bar, then it counts as 1 buff stack for [Soul Flames].

The rest of Xiada’s kit extensively uses and abuses synergies with her passive; her S1 allows her to steal 1 Buff from a single target at a low chance, but with 3 hits at once, and the chance massively improves once her passive is fully stacked. Her S3, which is her main Damage tool, deals average AOE Damage on all enemies at first with a good chance to apply [DEF-], but every stack of [Soul Flames] adds another, smaller instance of damage to the attack while also reducing the S3’s CD by 1 turn per stack. This ramp-up mechanic lets Xiada’s S3 reach 1 turn CD, enabling a constant spamming of the now superbuffed skill every turn once the stacks are maxed out.

In PVE, Xiada effortlessly imposes herself as the best sustained AOE DPS while turning her previously weak S3 into a valid single-target option.

In PVP, however, Xiada’s slow build-up can be critical as it gives time for her enemies to build their defenses. As a single DPS, Xiada often struggles to tear through the various Shields and protections, opting instead to focus on the recurring Buff Stealing to annoy her enemies while making herself stronger with their own Buffs.

Regardless of game mode, it is important to build your team around Xiada, which means securing multiple sources of spammable Buffs. Animus like Lingluo, Valerian, Tsukiyo Mi, or Lily (against Buff reliant enemies) are all excellent options to quickly gather her stacks and unleash an unending rain of fire on the enemies.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extreme AOE Damage potential.
With enough time, becomes one of the better ST DPS.
Access to Buff Stealing
Good self-synergy

Cons

One of the weaker DPS without stacks.
Absolutely needs Buffers.

Before the main body acts, causes the main Animus to deal additional true indirect damage equal to 12% of the target's max HP with each critical hit during this turn (damage per hit cannot exceed 180% of own ATK). In PVP mode, this will be affected by Etherena Effect - Guardian Field, reducing damage by 30%.

Grants the wearer a buff for one turn on use. While the buff is active, each individual hit of damage dealt by the wearer that critically strikes will cause the target to suffer 12% of their HP as true damage (up to 180% of the wearer's ATK per individual hit). This damage cannot be increased outside of scaling ATK and cannot critically strike itself. Strongest on characters that hit multiple times with abilities, and even stronger in AoE scenarios with multi-hitting abilities. An ability that hits 4 times and hits all enemies (5) can lead to 20 Revelation activations. The damage of this effect is reduced by 30% in PVP.

All of Xiada's attacks are multi hit attacks, therefore each one of them is able to trigger Revelation multiple times. Xiada's Ultimate specifically hits 4 times with 3 Soul Flames meaning a minimum of 4 triggers and a maximum of 20 Revelation triggers whenever it's available. Revelation is Xiada's best choice in most cases but can lose out on Single Target to White Fang when [-DEF] has been applied to enemies by Xiada or an ally.

After the main body acts, it performs a [Follow-up Attack] on the primary target, dealing 2 instances of 110% damage each. If a [CRIT] occurs, it increases the main body Animus’s [CRIT DMG] by 10%, up to a maximum of 8 stacks.

Consistent option for most DPS characters when it comes to raw damage output. Deals 2 sizable hits on a 3 turn cooldown and grants a relatively quickly stacking buff amounting to 60% CRIT DMG once fully charged. Also has more flexible DPS matrixes than other options thanks to it possessing 12P Swiftrush.

If you don't have access to Revelation or are running a heavy buff/debuff team thus reducing Revelations efficacy, White Fang can gain the edge in low target fights making it a viable alternative.

Best Builds (PVP)

At the start of the battle, puts the owner Animus in a 1-turn [Void] state; afterward, for every 3 turn(s), enters a 2-turn [Void] state after the turn ends and increases ATK by 30%.

A PVP-focused defensive option for DPS characters, allowing them to enter the Void state at the start of battle, increasing their Effect Resistance by 100%, reducing the area DMG they take by 50%, and also making them un-targettable for its duration.

Law of silence, although generally the default choice even in PVP, is specifically designed to perform in that environment. Depending on the Meta, Law of Silence can become a viable option for most of the more fragile Damage Dealers, giving them better odds at surviving if you end up slower than your opponent.

Slot 2: If you're planning on cycling Xiada multiple times in fights SPD is often the best DPS choice but if you have team mates to solve her Speed requirements CRIT RATE or DMG is preferrable.
Slot 3: Odd DMG% is optimal but if you're lacking in materials generic DMG% can also be used.
