As Arknights: Endfield continues to receive updates and new characters, the meta game for DPS units keeps shifting. Still, some supporting characters remain essential in every team, and Xaihi is a prime example of such a support unit.
Xaihi is a five-star Arts unit known for inflicting Cryo on enemies, healing allies, and boosting Cryo damage. When built with the right equipment, she can significantly increase your team’s overall damage output.
Best Xaihi Weapons and Gear
Xaihi, being a support, can use many six-star and five-star weapons to enhance her abilities. Unfortunately, she lacks solid four-star options. The top-tier six-star weapon for her is Chivalric Virtues, which greatly enhances her healing while providing a team attack boost when her healing kicks in. Other good options include:
- Detonation Unit (6-star): When she applies Cryo Infliction second on an enemy, it boosts the enemy’s Arts damage taken.
- Monaihe (5-star): Helps her use her ultimate often, which applies strong Cryo and Nature damage.
- Freedom to Proselytize (5-star): Focuses on her healing, providing extra stat boosts and healing whenever she heals allies.
Best Xaihi Gear Sets
Once her five-star gear is available, the best support set for her is the Eternal Xiranite, which boosts team damage when she applies her Amp effect through her abilities. For early gameplay, the Mordvolt Resistant set can help increase her Will stat, improving her healing capabilities.
Alongside these core gear pieces, the Tide Surge Light Armor or LYNX Cuirass can be selected depending on whether you need more healing or survivability.
Top Team Compositions for Xaihi
Her most effective team involves pairing her with Yvonne, Gilberta, and Estella—useful against both single enemies and AoE fights. However, since Yvonne is a limited character, not everyone will have access to her. As an alternative, Last Rite can serve as a powerful Nuker, especially since she’s considered the best damage dealer in the game. To maximize her Cryo Infliction, it’s recommended to apply Cryo first with Estella before triggering Xaihi’s combo skill.
Abilities and Upgrade Path for Xaihi
Xaihi’s abilities are straightforward:
- After activating her skill, she creates an Auxiliary Crystal that follows the active operator. Using this operator to land the final hit heals them and activates her combo skill, which inflicts Cryo on enemies.
- If the operator’s HP is full, she provides Arts Amplification instead.
- Her ultimate grants Cryo and Nature Amplification to the entire team and increases Cryo damage taken by enemies after Cryo Infliction is applied second.
When leveling her abilities, prioritize her ultimate to maximize Amp effects, then upgrade her healing skill. Upgrading her combo and basic attack is optional and not necessary at high levels.
