True, but the second part about the fall dmg, if it's something like while she's in her nightsoul burst or skill she takes no fall dmg, that'd be a pretty good QoL buff, no?

his literally says “quality of life buffs” everytime he refers to them. and then proceeds to name off those quality of life buffs. they’re not buffs to her kit or damage, but her qol. they make her more functional, therefore they are buffs. in the same way neuvi’s fidget spinner gimmick was changed and was considered a nerf, everything he said about maulani was indeed a buff.
... which is a buff. Bro what you being so technical for. She gets stronger after this fix, no matter how indirect, so it's a buff. It doesn't have to be damage numbers, and even then you could argue that missing your damn E due to a bug is a huge dps loss.
I actually don't think Xilonen was the reason her signature weapon got nerfed. I think it was because the weapon was going to be way too powerful on certain units that aren't intended to scale off defense, such as Jean and Qiqi. With Jean, because main stats aren't really doing that much for her, you could afford to run her on a degenerate triple defense 4p VV build, and she would have just enough def to hit the 3k benchmark. As long as you could get enough ER through substats or team energy, she would give 40% VV res shred and 36% dmg bonus and essentially become Kazuha with teamwide heals. The Furina/Jean core would be utterly broken and completely outclass any other team healer (i.e. xianyun, baizhu) outside of teams that need their specific niche or reaction. At C0 Furina, this core would be competitive even with C0R1 Xilonen/Furina, since the 40% extra dmg bonus Xilo gives is offset by the lower fanfare generated off her single target heal. Qiqi sort of fits in the same boat, although more niche. Because Qiqi has one of the highest base defenses in the game, it's actually not too difficult to get her to the 3k threshold, thus letting you still use proper mainstats for 1 or 2 pieces. The 36% team dmg would make her the best on-field driver for Furina teams, badly outclassing Kokomi who cannot come close to providing that level of buffing with any catalyst option currently. While I would have loved to see this chaos, I can see why hoyo wanted to avoid this direction lol.

If Xilonen was to make additional changes either for beta or even the final release, I would love for her normal attack and plunge attack mutipliers to be buffed even more. The best Geo main DPS characters (Navia, Itto, and Noelle) are all claymore users. Having a viable sword for the main DPS role seems refreshing to me. I am planning on getting C2 R1 Xilonen and while I already have a C2 R1 Itto, I may at least try a Main DPS build for Xilonen if i get bored as using her as a support. I feel it is more fun to use less popular characters or more unorthodox playstyles for popular ones. One reason why I got Emilie at C2 R1 is because is unpopular but is very strong if properly invested and in the right team.
Nah, her multipliers are decent but not atrocious therefore it's 'balanced' in proportion to her kit. With her shred and buffs partnered with her constellations, any major change in her multipliers might surpass most top-tier DPSes in the game. The last thing that Hoyo wants to happen is creating a broken/overpowered unit.
Despite her being potentially one of the best support you're still asking for a buff, too greedy lol. If she became the best of both worlds, as a support and DPS, then there's no reason not to choose her over other geo counterparts. Very bad for players' (with Itto, etc.) and mihoyo's perspective.
@darkmori8526 I admit that maybe I am being a little greedy. But I honestly want Nomal Attack main DPS Xilonen to be equal to Itto and Noelle, not superior. I don't a situation like how Albedo was directly powercrept by Chiori (at least in most aspects). Hoyoverse could have easily restricted Xilonen to just a support. For example, they could have given no defense scalings for geo infusions normals and plunging, and made it that so that her elemental burst healing and elemental skill resistance shred did not work at all if there were 3 or 4 geo units on the team. I just think her dual purpose nature was a little more equal.
@@JaxxBaxRaxor Your suggestion is very bad. Noelle wet rock team is a thing, and by replacing Noelle with Xilonen you can easily bypass the condition. A better Noelle (res shred, minimum hitlag, heals, etc.) that can be paired with Furina, boom another game breaking character. I'm not against flexible character, but what you're suggesting is another Neuvillete in the making (OP af with minimal effort) that makes other DPS obsolete which is again bad for mihoyo.
Getting the weapon is much more valuable than C2, not merely because of the apples to apples comparison. It's also an apples to oranges comparison. Having a weapon means that you can transfer all the effects to another user, and, while the unintended user may not make use of all the effects, it still enables you to potentially make niche builds that will get your job done better. Like, for whatever reason you would be using Albedo for instance; not only does the sword have higher stats than Cinnabar Spindle, it's also much more cohesive to his gameplay as a support. Geo doesn't react with anything; having the Elemental Skill DMG DEF scalar bonus from Cinnabar Spindle affect Albedo's skill damage is pointless by comparison to having a universal partywide Elemental DMG Bonus that provides more value than a selfish damage ramp, so it is way better. Chiori could also make use of it because of her mostly construct off field gameplay, but her signature does give her much more raw Geo damage with that massive 80+% Crit DMG stat. If any more sword units are released that have DEF scaling, this will be great as a universal weapon much like how Aqua Simulacra or Staff of Homa are good because of their raw stat and flexibility with HP scaling. The sword was the real problem to be honest, because it is WAY too universal of a damage bonus for how easy it is to get off, especially for sword units that don't need to scale as much like Jean, Xingqui, or Lynette. Heck, even Kazuha could make use of it by sacrificing the EM that used apply single swirl or double swirl, to now having triple damage boost instead (albeit, at lower scale) while still shredding RES and still having a majority of his kit's buffing.
I was really considering getting her R1, but after the nerf I think I’ll pass. Not only did they cut 1/3 of a team wide buff, they also added this goofy ahh self buffing mechanic for a character who doesn’t deal damage (hello Baizhu, hello Kokomi). I hate passives like these, it’s nothing but a waste of space Now it’s very obvious that I will go for C2 instead, but maybe if I get lucky I will try to also get R1, no hype for that anymore though. I was so exited that they removed crits for her and focused more on buffing a team and now they ruined it again
I mean bro it is still a reasonable a great Weapon they did that because now you can choose between Xilonen being your main dps or a supportive role just my own opinion so is still your final decision, Hope you got lucky getting her C2R1 😊
Loving both Mualani QoL updates; but when he mentioned Mualani was getting QoL, for some reason I assumed it was about the missiles in caves and what not. XD
Honestly it’s such a small nerf I’m still think it’s worth it, just not as good looking, she a support and most people are gone be using fav on her anyways
Why give Xilonen personal dmg tho, its nit really matter. yea this nerf really wrong place to give for me. the sig is kinda tempting aince i have rate on but daaaaang feels bad
Silly comment. IMO all characters should have a meaningfully amount of damage. It's because most supports have beyond garbage damage that people have to ultra invest on DPS units. And it makes no sense, Healers in MMO dealt less damage because they had to multitask between dealing damage and healing/cleansing teammates. In newer games, Supports do 0 damage because they have putrid damage scaling on abilities while also being forced to use stats that don't contribute to damage anyway, it's way too much.
yeah they should just have moved that 10% dmg bonus to a 30% def bonus to help out poor itto since she's so damn bad right now (and benefit noelle sneakily)
The only reason I got Mualani was for exploration. And she does good dmg but playing her feels somewhat clunky. Like sometimes you vape, enemy dies in one shot and sometime you mess up and wonder why the enemies aren't dying. And I'm using Dehya as the pyro applier which should be pretty consistent. I found kinich's gameplay more statisfying than Mualani but on the surface it would seem like Kinich's gameplay would be tricky because of all the rotation. Well for now they aren't replacing any of my abyss teams.
Misleading information... Xilonen wasn't the one that received a buff. It was a 5star weapon. Those are two different things, which makes the title misleading.
Glad they are fixing mulani, personally i think her clunkiness is justified keeping in mind the huge numbers she gives. I actually left gi for wuwa, as combat is superior there, and gi’s combat was not doing it for me anymore. But now with mulani, the best part is, it doesn’t feel i am fighting at all. She just surfs through enemies and bites with shark. This total change of fighting mechanics was what gi needed to counter competition like wuwa. These days i play gi more, love mulani’s fighting style, also her damage is so huge for f2p’s specially that she changes account value. Eg: that azdha boss, i could not kill with my hutao cause he kills her, even after running bennet etc. No other dps i have that does as much as hutao, so i was never able to solo him. I thought i need zhongli just so that my hutao could stay alive long enough to kill. But after mulani, in just 2 days of building her, she does 140k vape, without buffs. She killed azdha so fast, he couldn’t do half his transformations. Also her movement is super useful to quickly surf away from boss’s range. Sorry for this long ass message, i just love mulani too much, i think i need to get myself checked😅
i dropped wuwa because combat was pretty bad. i made a macro for a combat rotation and it beat the tower with basically no supervision. that's how braindead the thing is.
Soooo happy they fixed Mualani. I made a CS report about the issue since I noticed a lot of her attacks would miss or her burst would go through enemies. Hopefully all the tracking issues has been fixed.
@alexprus7953 mine hasn't done that yet but I notice if you jump into the lava with her skating, she will sometimes take damage. Like the lava actually hits her when it shouldn't.
I'm not pulling for her signature weapon, so it's an overall buff for me with that res to interruption passive. I'm saving all leftover primos for Mavuika.
I assume her weapon can also be a slight buff to Aggravate/Burning teams since it’ll also boost Dendro Damage (and Dendro has an artifact set for res shred anyways so her not being able to apply that still works)
For me Xilonen c0r0 is good enough. For my team Nuevilete Furina Kazuha & Xilonen is already have a ton bonus dmg so 25.6% from her sign is not worth my finite primo 😂 Altho its pretty good for non-Furina team like mono pyro or arlechino. Maybe if her rerun will feature another good weapon I will pull, I don't want chiori weapon so it not worth the risk
For a few days after the Nerf i was still coping for that weapon, i mean 25% buff is still strong but after recalculating, it's just not worth the pull anymore i guess everyone is just gonna use Fav now
Omg this I'm having the same problem with Neuvillette. Whenever I use his burst,most of the time he doesn't even drop any water droplets. So I definitely think it's a bug since it's been almost a YEAR already and hoyo still hasn't fixed it.
you need to use skill to mark enemies and then either use a charged attack (unless in AoE with multiple enemies marked, ideally go through the rest of the team first (between skill and charged attack) to have the mark evolve after 5s and you'll get more BoL) or defeat marked enemies. Unless you just mean the issue with BoL resetting after exiting the domain or re-starting it. I doubt they'd do anything about that at this point.
That is a good observation. Peak Patrol Strong is still a excellent weapon but it's in Hoyoverse's interest to keep the weapons from being *too universal. Especially now that weapon banners are cheaper (only one fate point to guarantee the preferred weapon instead of two).
@@JaxxBaxRaxorngl i kinda wish we have more great support weapons in the game. the last one we got was elegy. And So far the rest after have been very niche but good except for jadefall splendor(which is probably the worst support weapon in the game.).
even Kazuha freedom sworn become so niche that not many hyper carry can use it nowdays. but when i looking at nathlan main carry hope full they will use more normal and charge attack.
Mualani has so many bugs that fixing this is not that relevant considering sometimes her multitarget elemental abilty passive don't work even thoug enemies are targeted the rockets dont work and only the first enemy take the damage ( damage nerfed by her other elemental ability passive) not talking about the amount of times that the burst miss the target or the amount of times you hop on and off the shark becouse you obviously press the elemental ability 2 times ( since some times you can't activate it with just one touch becouse you are stunned ) they have so many things to fix to this character.
Wait..... Mualani have a targeting problem. I though I was really terrible at the game on every time I waste burst or do my shark attack and end up missing on enemy bearly move. They almost never buff a character after release.
Im planning to play her with yoimiya. since Xilonen is a healer and provides interruption resistance at C1, is it strong enough to not run Yoimiya with a shielder? Im planning to get her C1 just to support Yoi becos kinda tired of having her sealed in a shield to maximize her damage potential
@@TheLastAirbender3468That moment when you are about to finish the last one remaining with a nuke but the shark just flies away for a vacation. I hope it gets fixed because that would be like Dehya targeting issue.
yes i very do want to play mono geo and have her support my c6 itto :) regardless i will get her signature and constellation 4 xilonen. my red horn is at R5...waiting for the day red horn and song peak patrol is in same banner and i will r5 them both . GEO SUPREMACY!
I mean like, chiori will probably rerunning with her as the leaks say, so the weapon banner is still good. So if u get chiori's weapon thats probably still a win.
No its even worse the weapon is a nerf for a lot of characters. Albedo,Jean and even Qiqi would benefit from that weapon. I am sure some people would consider pulling only for the weapon or even 2 copies. Xilonen is a good support, but her C0R1 is now not that special its barely on Kazuhas C0R0 level, without the grouping.
its a c6 xilonen buff, everyone else nerf, so its a bait change, pretty nasty i would say of hoyo. but still she's unbelievably strong so is her signature
Wow... How long will it be till hoyo release a great or good support i mean the last one elegy and the ones that came out after are niche but at least good except for jadefall splendor. And it's not the fact that it only works with baizhu that makes it bad. No.. What makes it bad is that the weapon buffs himself only. And the other part of the passive is a basically an expensive version of a craftable.
I was considering trying to grab her weapon since im close to pity on weapon banner and have garuntee, but Chiori's weapon would be pretty useless for me so its probably not worth the risk. Unless it ends up with Nahida running with her but thats unlikely.
I was saving hard for her but KINICH got me... Thinking to skip now! I've got a new toy until Mauvika. Xilonen is awesome but I don't have any Fontaine character she pairs with 😢
No ofc not, c0r0 is good enough. I think her main role is support/healer sidegrade for Kazuha/Bennett or upgrade for some. Team like Nuevilete Furina Kazuha Xilonen already have a ton bonus dmg so 25.6% from xilonen sign is nothing. For non furina team Xilonen c0r1 is where her signature shine
@@th0r0shvener52I will take R1. Idk how good her c1 is because only give 0.5 resistance interupt, its not worth. Unless if u consider her c2 in the future
Is a hybrid Xilonen viable at all? (Def/Def/Crit on Hero set) I did some rough stat calculations with her sig before this update and she was still able to hit over 3000 def for maximum buffs from the weapon so I'm thinking it could be decent
From what ihv seen your better off going triple def with crit substats if you wanna go hybrid because using a crit circlet will drastically nerf your healing
@@doriansz3130 are you saying getting that much defense is particularly difficult for her? Lots of other comments say she doesn't do much damage unless you give her damage equipment and on-field her, so her supportive main stats aren't an issue, right?
@@mr.parker8014 Ofcourse you can get that DEF ,but you would need to run her in full DEF artifact or have really good DEF substats to get away with ER goblet or Healing Bonus circlet. Before the nerf the 3000 DEF was the perfect point ,that leaves room for more different builds. It makes her harder to build with R1. Now you can just run her with Favonius that 25% dmg from her R1 is not worth it,not even for her and even less for other characters.
It is you need 3200 DEF for 10% less dmg ,instead of 3000 DEF . It makes it slightly harder to build her ER ,because you could get away with a ER goblet or Healing bonus Circlet with decent substats,now thats not the case anymore ,you want all her Artitfact set to be DEF and hope to roll for some ER
@@TotoyDestiny Geo always was expensive because it's works against any enemy. So probably they want to lock Xilonen Support Geo Res Shred behind C2 paywall.
@@hollow_universe42If you really like navia or xilonen, go for it, unless if you prefer having more characters than stronger characters, even tho c0 xilonen is already broken so her constellations and sig aren't necessary
@@hollow_universe42 The only team where Navia needs C2 Xilonen for Xilonen to actually support her is in Navia - Xilonen - Furina - Xianyun. In a normal Navia team with like Bennett + Xiangling, C0 Xilonen is sufficient and you can go R1 to boost the team damage (requires less pulls than 2 cons)

@@JaxxBaxRaxor Your suggestion is very bad. Noelle wet rock team is a thing, and by replacing Noelle with Xilonen you can easily bypass the condition. A better Noelle (res shred, minimum hitlag, heals, etc.) that can be paired with Furina, boom another game breaking character.
I'm not against flexible character, but what you're suggesting is another Neuvillete in the making (OP af with minimal effort) that makes other DPS obsolete which is again bad for mihoyo.
I'm genuinely tweaking trying to find new Xilonen content
Also why the hell did they nref the sig... 25.6 is not a nice number
yea I liked the round number of 36% and 3000 Def required, but I think Hoyo saw that it was as strong as C2 on paper and decided to nerf it again
@@anddad Is there any chance the leaks are wrong, or gonna be further changed?
@@Hooman-lw1km I am pretty sure these are not leaks but beta test so unless changed this is it
@@Hooman-lw1km there's always a chance for additional changes, though I am not expecting it
They just need to buff c1 if they're too worried of c2 matching sig value.
Getting the weapon is much more valuable than C2, not merely because of the apples to apples comparison. It's also an apples to oranges comparison. Having a weapon means that you can transfer all the effects to another user, and, while the unintended user may not make use of all the effects, it still enables you to potentially make niche builds that will get your job done better. Like, for whatever reason you would be using Albedo for instance; not only does the sword have higher stats than Cinnabar Spindle, it's also much more cohesive to his gameplay as a support. Geo doesn't react with anything; having the Elemental Skill DMG DEF scalar bonus from Cinnabar Spindle affect Albedo's skill damage is pointless by comparison to having a universal partywide Elemental DMG Bonus that provides more value than a selfish damage ramp, so it is way better. Chiori could also make use of it because of her mostly construct off field gameplay, but her signature does give her much more raw Geo damage with that massive 80+% Crit DMG stat.
If any more sword units are released that have DEF scaling, this will be great as a universal weapon much like how Aqua Simulacra or Staff of Homa are good because of their raw stat and flexibility with HP scaling. The sword was the real problem to be honest, because it is WAY too universal of a damage bonus for how easy it is to get off, especially for sword units that don't need to scale as much like Jean, Xingqui, or Lynette. Heck, even Kazuha could make use of it by sacrificing the EM that used apply single swirl or double swirl, to now having triple damage boost instead (albeit, at lower scale) while still shredding RES and still having a majority of his kit's buffing.
A sig weap is not a total nerf as you can still enjoy her buff same as Kazuha 1000 EM VV, regardless if you have her weapon.
I was really considering getting her R1, but after the nerf I think I’ll pass. Not only did they cut 1/3 of a team wide buff, they also added this goofy ahh self buffing mechanic for a character who doesn’t deal damage (hello Baizhu, hello Kokomi). I hate passives like these, it’s nothing but a waste of space
Now it’s very obvious that I will go for C2 instead, but maybe if I get lucky I will try to also get R1, no hype for that anymore though. I was so exited that they removed crits for her and focused more on buffing a team and now they ruined it again
I mean bro it is still a reasonable a great Weapon they did that because now you can choose between Xilonen being your main dps or a supportive role just my own opinion so is still your final decision, Hope you got lucky getting her C2R1 😊
Dude it was broken before, the nerf was obvious
@@ludo4608 it being broken before was the only reason I wanted to go for this weapon
It went from near broken to pointless in a single nerf. Alas, her C2 is far more valuable now.
26% is still a lots tbh
Loving both Mualani QoL updates; but when he mentioned Mualani was getting QoL, for some reason I assumed it was about the missiles in caves and what not. XD
Honestly it’s such a small nerf I’m still think it’s worth it, just not as good looking, she a support and most people are gone be using fav on her anyways
Why give Xilonen personal dmg tho, its nit really matter. yea this nerf really wrong place to give for me. the sig is kinda tempting aince i have rate on but daaaaang feels bad
Silly comment. IMO all characters should have a meaningfully amount of damage. It's because most supports have beyond garbage damage that people have to ultra invest on DPS units. And it makes no sense, Healers in MMO dealt less damage because they had to multitask between dealing damage and healing/cleansing teammates.
In newer games, Supports do 0 damage because they have putrid damage scaling on abilities while also being forced to use stats that don't contribute to damage anyway, it's way too much.
yeah they should just have moved that 10% dmg bonus to a 30% def bonus to help out poor itto since she's so damn bad right now (and benefit noelle sneakily)
@@bloody4558But her dmg is extremly low,because you can not build Crit on her ,especialy now that you need even more DEF they want from 3000 to 3200.
@@doriansz3130 That's precisely my point. Games in general need to stop this bullshit
The only reason I got Mualani was for exploration. And she does good dmg but playing her feels somewhat clunky. Like sometimes you vape, enemy dies in one shot and sometime you mess up and wonder why the enemies aren't dying. And I'm using Dehya as the pyro applier which should be pretty consistent. I found kinich's gameplay more statisfying than Mualani but on the surface it would seem like Kinich's gameplay would be tricky because of all the rotation. Well for now they aren't replacing any of my abyss teams.
This is huge, might getting her in the future. Hopefully they just make her skill locked on/follow enemy because why not
Misleading information...
Xilonen wasn't the one that received a buff. It was a 5star weapon. Those are two different things, which makes the title misleading.
Who cares
@@naqs24_7 Me
@@naqs24_7 I AM
Lmao its her weapon you dmbfk
So where is the misinformation?
The title says she got nerfed and the video says she got nerfed. More specific, her weapon got nerfed.
Glad they are fixing mulani, personally i think her clunkiness is justified keeping in mind the huge numbers she gives. I actually left gi for wuwa, as combat is superior there, and gi’s combat was not doing it for me anymore. But now with mulani, the best part is, it doesn’t feel i am fighting at all. She just surfs through enemies and bites with shark. This total change of fighting mechanics was what gi needed to counter competition like wuwa.
These days i play gi more, love mulani’s fighting style, also her damage is so huge for f2p’s specially that she changes account value. Eg: that azdha boss, i could not kill with my hutao cause he kills her, even after running bennet etc. No other dps i have that does as much as hutao, so i was never able to solo him. I thought i need zhongli just so that my hutao could stay alive long enough to kill. But after mulani, in just 2 days of building her, she does 140k vape, without buffs. She killed azdha so fast, he couldn’t do half his transformations. Also her movement is super useful to quickly surf away from boss’s range. Sorry for this long ass message, i just love mulani too much, i think i need to get myself checked😅
i dropped wuwa because combat was pretty bad. i made a macro for a combat rotation and it beat the tower with basically no supervision. that's how braindead the thing is.
The fall damage fix is one that happens when you jump and do shark bite to attack a mineral
Mualani Q really needs to be immune to terrain... so many times it just hits a random rock or just flies above the enemies and misses
Soooo happy they fixed Mualani. I made a CS report about the issue since I noticed a lot of her attacks would miss or her burst would go through enemies.
Hopefully all the tracking issues has been fixed.
I'm more happy about the fall damage resistance, since sometimes she'd make a small jump and drop dead (probably due to her speed)
@alexprus7953 mine hasn't done that yet but I notice if you jump into the lava with her skating, she will sometimes take damage. Like the lava actually hits her when it shouldn't.
Finally my Mualani will not SMBU ahh steve-minecarted anymore
but she still breeding with Common Chest when she riding her shark :(
you know a lot people is gonna make Xilonen become main DPS no matter what especially in release patch, yeah the weapon isn't really "nerf"
No it is a nerf but is still reasonable an OP Weapon
Sure, right? "a lOt oF pEopLe, tRuSt mE bRo"
it's a massive nerf to me. i was going to get 3 copies among my two accounts, now i'm thinking only one copy.
That's bs 😂.
I'm not pulling for her signature weapon, so it's an overall buff for me with that res to interruption passive. I'm saving all leftover primos for Mavuika.
Me 5 mins ago: a Xilonen Nerf, I don't care, I'm pulling for her weapon 😂.
Me after watching this: 💀
Same my Albedo would love this weapon.
@@doriansz3130 omg I'm also pulling this for my albedo XD
If the weapon is nerfed, it's better to just wear a Fav sword so you can use Def sands and have the passive add more particle generation to the team
Fav is and always will be great, but the sig is still busted. Pre-nerf it was absurdly broken, but it's still crazy strong.
@@dariom3412 even with the nerf on the weapon, its still pretty good
@@goldendocsonic2012pretty good isn’t worth $200 plus dollars
Weapon is skip for me now, 26% for 180 pulls is too much
yeah c2 much better especially since I have c6 raiden
You mean something like 130 bc of the recent change to the weapon banner, right?
Truth. Not worth it for dolphins or f2p.
Realistically 140 at worst, weapon banner pity is lower than char banner.
@@MASTER_AL ah yes, guarantee is 80 on weapon, not 90. I'm pulling weapons so rarely to the point i forgot about it
It was too good to be true
They should buff kachina too
I noticed in turbo twirly she takes damage from falls that would do no damage if you just jump down normally
I assume her weapon can also be a slight buff to Aggravate/Burning teams since it’ll also boost Dendro Damage (and Dendro has an artifact set for res shred anyways so her not being able to apply that still works)
Still awaiting the biggest Mualani buff news: the pyro archon!
For me Xilonen c0r0 is good enough.
For my team Nuevilete Furina Kazuha & Xilonen is already have a ton bonus dmg so 25.6% from her sign is not worth my finite primo 😂
Altho its pretty good for non-Furina team like mono pyro or arlechino.
Maybe if her rerun will feature another good weapon I will pull, I don't want chiori weapon so it not worth the risk
That’s what yall get for still glazing pre release units.
Whats the danger of it?
@@valgeri3566 cause nerfs probably. Everyone is hyped because new upcoming character is super good > nerfed.

Just great . I miss 50/50 on Mualani(hello again , Jean) and now I hear she will get even better . Congrats to all Mualani havers though .
For a few days after the Nerf i was still coping for that weapon, i mean 25% buff is still strong
but after recalculating, it's just not worth the pull anymore
i guess everyone is just gonna use Fav now
Any news, when will Hoyo update Arle bug in domains? After burst when I use skill, I can't get her BOL. I don't think that's her gameplay style.
dont think so
Ofcourse you can't. You need to do charge attack after skill
Omg this I'm having the same problem with Neuvillette. Whenever I use his burst,most of the time he doesn't even drop any water droplets. So I definitely think it's a bug since it's been almost a YEAR already and hoyo still hasn't fixed it.
you need to use skill to mark enemies and then either use a charged attack (unless in AoE with multiple enemies marked, ideally go through the rest of the team first (between skill and charged attack) to have the mark evolve after 5s and you'll get more BoL) or defeat marked enemies.
Unless you just mean the issue with BoL resetting after exiting the domain or re-starting it. I doubt they'd do anything about that at this point.
I was hoping they’d fix her burst. It flies off and misses enemies all the freakin time!
Im more concerned about dodging whatever weapon comes with PPS than hoyo making it less broken lol.
10.4% less elemental dmg..not that bad of a nerf imo. It just makes it less of an universal weapon for non DEF scalers.
That is a good observation. Peak Patrol Strong is still a excellent weapon but it's in Hoyoverse's interest to keep the weapons from being *too universal. Especially now that weapon banners are cheaper (only one fate point to guarantee the preferred weapon instead of two).
@@JaxxBaxRaxor true, because you can turn albedo and chiori into buffer with this weapon.
@@JaxxBaxRaxorngl i kinda wish we have more great support weapons in the game. the last one we got was elegy. And So far the rest after have been very niche but good except for jadefall splendor(which is probably the worst support weapon in the game.).
thats like 1/3
even Kazuha freedom sworn become so niche that not many hyper carry can use it nowdays. but when i looking at nathlan main carry hope full they will use more normal and charge attack.
Im currently grinding exploration primos for xilonen, good luck to all wanters ❤
MUALANI FIX THANK YOU ONG THAT WAS SO ANNOYING IN ABYSS
Wooh!!
I raised an issue to support about Mualani’s fall damage!
Feels great to be listened to
Agreed with this!
That nerf wont make me not pull her. Hahahaha
Mualani has so many bugs that fixing this is not that relevant considering sometimes her multitarget elemental abilty passive don't work even thoug enemies are targeted the rockets dont work and only the first enemy take the damage ( damage nerfed by her other elemental ability passive) not talking about the amount of times that the burst miss the target or the amount of times you hop on and off the shark becouse you obviously press the elemental ability 2 times ( since some times you can't activate it with just one touch becouse you are stunned ) they have so many things to fix to this character.
Wait..... Mualani have a targeting problem. I though I was really terrible at the game on every time I waste burst or do my shark attack and end up missing on enemy bearly move.
They almost never buff a character after release.
hm... i'm not going to get her sword on my second account anymore and i might not get a second copy on my main account anymore either. thanks hoyo
Im planning to play her with yoimiya. since Xilonen is a healer and provides interruption resistance at C1, is it strong enough to not run Yoimiya with a shielder? Im planning to get her C1 just to support Yoi becos kinda tired of having her sealed in a shield to maximize her damage potential
Did Mualani Q get fixed also? Noticed her Q won't hit the target sometimes
doesnt say so but hopefully that gets addressed too
I personally didn't have much issues with her Q
the only issue I faced is enemies dying before I get the chance to use her burst lol
@@TheLastAirbender3468That moment when you are about to finish the last one remaining with a nuke but the shark just flies away for a vacation. I hope it gets fixed because that would be like Dehya targeting issue.
yes i very do want to play mono geo and have her support my c6 itto :)
regardless i will get her signature and constellation 4 xilonen.
my red horn is at R5...waiting for the day red horn and song peak patrol is in same banner and i will r5 them both .
GEO SUPREMACY!
How about helping unfortunate ones like me to get the xilonen 🥲 after u r done with c6 r5😅
That's a bug fix for Mualani, not a buff.
I mean like, chiori will probably rerunning with her as the leaks say, so the weapon banner is still good. So if u get chiori's weapon thats probably still a win.
Question, can Xilonen use the new codex artifact set if i want her for dps?
@@Astro-zp9xt of course, she is from nataln after all
Mualani is bugged not buffed. They are just fixing her bug.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I hope they re revert her weapon 😭😭 (i'm coping)
4:20 lmao xDDD. Plz don’t butcher our Geo mommy. Glad to hear Mulani is getting a patch
guess I might still get her sword since archon weapons are always a worthless waste of time. especially considering how bad furina's was.
I think ill save for more emeille cons, or stuff from the sumeru chronicle wish. Also have the pyro archon coming 😅
Nerfing her weapon is only a nerf if you were going to pull it. Otherwise this is just good news
Nerf , buff , nerf , buff that's what going with xilolen
Her weapons nerfs are NOT her nerfs
No its even worse the weapon is a nerf for a lot of characters.
Albedo,Jean and even Qiqi would benefit from that weapon.
I am sure some people would consider pulling only for the weapon or even 2 copies.
Xilonen is a good support, but her C0R1 is now not that special its barely on Kazuhas C0R0 level, without the grouping.
Probably just using Freedom Sword on her anyway and ill give R5 Xiphos back to Kazuha.
its a c6 xilonen buff, everyone else nerf, so its a bait change, pretty nasty i would say of hoyo. but still she's unbelievably strong so is her signature
Wow... How long will it be till hoyo release a great or good support i mean the last one elegy and the ones that came out after are niche but at least good except for jadefall splendor. And it's not the fact that it only works with baizhu that makes it bad. No.. What makes it bad is that the weapon buffs himself only. And the other part of the passive is a basically an expensive version of a craftable.
Not pulling weapon anyway, so doesn't affect me.
I was considering trying to grab her weapon since im close to pity on weapon banner and have garuntee, but Chiori's weapon would be pretty useless for me so its probably not worth the risk.
Unless it ends up with Nahida running with her but thats unlikely.
umm....weapon banner fate points dont carry over so how exactly do u have a guarantee?
I was saving hard for her but KINICH got me... Thinking to skip now! I've got a new toy until Mauvika. Xilonen is awesome but I don't have any Fontaine character she pairs with 😢
well at least we can build pity on that banner without any worries. If the 4 stars are cracked it will be a bonus
I skipped ALL Fontaine to C6 Yelan and Nahida don't need to pull for meta power ;)
Thanks for the info 🙏
I don't understand the c2, do sample buffs only apply to the coresponding characters, for example crit rate from geo to only geo characters?
Last I heard, yes. The buffs only benefit corresponding characters, not all characters
is Xilonen sig needed for her support capabilities? i was gonna run her with my extra freedom sworm
No ofc not, c0r0 is good enough.
I think her main role is support/healer sidegrade for Kazuha/Bennett or upgrade for some.
Team like Nuevilete Furina Kazuha Xilonen already have a ton bonus dmg so 25.6% from xilonen sign is nothing.
For non furina team Xilonen c0r1 is where her signature shine
But if you had to choose, would you rather go C1 or R1 for Neuv/Arle/Navia? @@arifreggit
@@th0r0shvener52I will take R1. Idk how good her c1 is because only give 0.5 resistance interupt, its not worth. Unless if u consider her c2 in the future
sig is definitely not needed, freedom sword is good, and fav sword is also good
Weapon or c2 is only for those who want to main her. For support you don't need that much right?
Is a hybrid Xilonen viable at all? (Def/Def/Crit on Hero set) I did some rough stat calculations with her sig before this update and she was still able to hit over 3000 def for maximum buffs from the weapon so I'm thinking it could be decent
From what ihv seen your better off going triple def with crit substats if you wanna go hybrid because using a crit circlet will drastically nerf your healing
"sub-dps" Xilo isn't worth the effort, much easier to build her as a pure support
I wasn't planning to pull the weapon so Idm :)
its only a nerf if you're a weapon coomer
Well her weapon is cheaper than her C2.
She is not that great at C0 unless you don't have Kazuha /Furina /Yelan.
So 10% less dmg bonus? Seems like some comments are doomposting
10% dmg for less DEF stats it was 3000 before now you need 3200 for 10% less dmg ,that is huge nerf.
@@doriansz3130 are you saying getting that much defense is particularly difficult for her? Lots of other comments say she doesn't do much damage unless you give her damage equipment and on-field her, so her supportive main stats aren't an issue, right?

Before the nerf the 3000 DEF was the perfect point ,that leaves room for more different builds.
It makes her harder to build with R1.
Now you can just run her with Favonius that 25% dmg from her R1 is not worth it,not even for her and even less for other characters.
@@doriansz3130 sounds like it just requires better substats to use, it's less convenient but I don't see it as a problem

Bro , nerf only 10% dmg on weapons this is not nerf kit
It is you need 3200 DEF for 10% less dmg ,instead of 3000 DEF .
It makes it slightly harder to build her ER ,because you could get away with a ER goblet or Healing bonus Circlet with decent substats,now thats not the case anymore ,you want all her Artitfact set to be DEF and hope to roll for some ER
