Who fits Moonlight Xyphos
When choosing a character, pay attention to basic mastery and energy recovery. The greater the skill, the greater the energy recovery for both the sword owner and the entire team.
It is best to give the moonlight to Kazuha. Thanks to the increase in energy recovery, the character will use the elemental explosion more often, and the combination is also useful if there are other heroes in the squad with expensive explosions.
An alternative would be the Dendro Traveler. One of the passive abilities, Luxurious Greenery, increases the ability damage based on Elemental Mastery. The hero also has a very expensive elemental blast. The sword will not only strengthen the traveler, but also offset the energy costs.
A good option is to give the sword to Neil. The character is well represented in the Budding reaction, where damage depends on elemental mastery and has an expensive elemental burst.
The ultimate skill is the most important one for the Genie character. Use a sword to increase efficiency.
In a team that plays from reactions, it would be a good idea to upgrade Kouki Shinobu’s Elemental Mastery. Also, the heroine with the sword will speed up the use of elemental explosions on other characters.
How to play with Xyphos Moonlight
The sword performs best in a reaction team. You need to increase your Elemental Mastery and speed up Elemental Burst casting for all party members.
