In case anyone is wondering about 1:35 - 2:00 onwards in this vid, when someone explains something using background footage then the point is TO EXPLAIN. There is no reason to beat the enemies I am referring to when I need to make a few points about an example combat scenario. A lot happens in a short window so when trying to contextualise what you did and showing how enemies would behave if you DO NOT have access to CC is the whole point. Additionally, voice overs are recorded after the abyss runs whereas during example showcases I have rough idea of what I am trying to show. [The emote spamming idiots that have been perma banned and three deleted bot comments - this was for you] The rest of the runs are just so you don't get bored of listening - there is nothing special about them other than filling up the screen; unless people want to go back to overworld content
I was about to say exactly what you said at the end of the video Literally if you're feel like need you need a character like Kazuha on both halfs she's a really good unit to get, however i don't think she's going to replace Kazuha.
Kazuha’s role is a buffer + sub dps. I feel like most cc I seen only focuses on his buffing part and never really delves in his damage especially in aoe (since swirl and reactions are pretty strong). Xilonen is a buffer + healer and she seems to basically lack damage in exchange for her healing with the same buffs. I think kazuha works better with a dedicated healer (who usually has their own buffing abilities) which will be booted out in Xilonen teams. Xilonen condenses healing and support in one allowing you to take another subdps. Think bennet+kazuha or kokomi + kazuha then Xilonen + furina or most likely Pyro archon, who I don’t expect healing in their kit.
I think at the end of the day, from a strict Numbers Impact playstyle, Kaz still outperforms Xilonen. Coz that's what the numbers appear to show. - VV is the same Res Shred than Xilonen Lvl 11 Skill (so you need Cons to outperform VV) - More Dmg% (if you have more than 1k EM in your build) than Scroll But what makes me excited isn't that. It's how easy and arguably possibly less Cringe it is to run Xilonen compared to Kaz. Coz say what you will about Double Swirling, one of the biggest problems I run into when trying to play Burnloy for example is not being able to swirl Cryo at all coz Oops they're still Burning. Or Solo Pyro HuTao teams that I still won't play regardless - you can't swirl Pyro. Plus Xilonen's Buff lasts 15s, not 8 (16 with Kaz's Ult for the Dmg% buff). So I won't call Xilonen "Better Kaz", I'd call her "Ez Kaz". Except Kaz is most likely better for Aloy coz he can group Bomblets GG.
As a casual, Kazuha gives me: 1. Anemo resonance. 2. Sprint stamina reduction (horizontal movement). 3. Vertical movement 4. Loot drop gather For someone who doesn't pull for Yelan & Xianyun, Kazuha is such a complete package. As for abyss though, I can't remember when was the last time I use Kazuha in Abyss 🤣, IIRC only use him like 2 Abyss cycle in total. On Xilonen, I might pull her if the 4* on her banner are interesting or maybe later on her rerun.
Honestly this is pretty standard in the content creator space. Every time a new character comes around they propose that they are a replacement for X character in Y team. Which is unimaginative and reductive at best and promoting misconceptions at worst. They never seem to try to think about what new and novel team combinations that they can facilitate that were previously not an option. I am also not surprised that no one has thought of her as a Bennet replacement in Raiden national. Shredding electro, pryo and hydro all at the same time is not really something that any anemo character can achieve at present. Plus buffing at least one of those with the new Natlan support set. Which probably turns out to be a greater DPS increase than the attack percentage that Bennet brings. Though I haven't crunched the maths on that.
Raiden replaces the anemo in national, her ER + dps + ease of use is supposed to make up for vv/grouping. If you lose bennett, xiangling battery gets even harder to do, you might have to build more ER, but it is less circle impact. You would need at least ~2750 atk such that adding bennett buff of ~1100atk buff (c5, skyward, no noblesse) is worth the same as the multiplicative value as vv which is around 1.3-1.4x This seems pretty unlikely so I think bennett stays, you would probably swap out raiden instead and put xilonen on fav probably, but idk if that even outperforms rational.
I don't own an kazuha. Both his burst and E buffs right? His burst animation takes time? Also his plunge waiting for him to come down. Thought maybe it is faster than xilonen provides buffs? Pretty sure you only need to do 2 normals and switch off. For the control part...xilonen does not group or destroy abyss mage shield. Kazuha definitely has her beat there. She requires 2 other PHEC team. She might not even work in fake flex mono teams. If u plan to use furina and use xilonen burst, i can see yeah she applies buffer slower

Well since I don't have Kazuha I wonder if she is better than my c6 Sucrose and more importantly good in my Navia team.
yes she will be better for Navia
Maybe she will be useful where the enemies cannot be swirled with other elements.

Depends on the team. Xilonen could work very well in a Neuvillette vape team, better than Kazuha.

Am I crazy?? they don't need to compete, there are 2 sides lol. Anyone calling her the Kazuha killer are dumb af USE BOTH
