Playstyle

Xenobia is a short-range caster with modest self healing and single target damage, but strong debuffs and crowd control.

• She often plays in the middle of her team, using her skills to lock down an enemy target or area while trading low amounts of damage.
• She has low burst damage, and instead looks to continuously damage and apply effects in a long fight.
• Her armor crack and disruptions are great for following up on engages, as well as being highly effective tools to peel allies.
• Her focus requires good decision making to use, as it is often better to disable high health enemies while giving your team time to finish off low health ones.

Team coordination, positioning, decision making, and skill placement allow Xenobia to unleash her full power against her foes.

Notes

• Xenobia has no escape skill, so be sure to conserve stamina in order to run away.
• Xenobia's jump dodge maintains momentum on ending, allowing her to move surprisingly far.
  • This only works after jumping, it does not work after falling off elevated terrain.
• Avoid fighting while outnumbered - Xenobia trades damage well in smaller fights, but can easily get overwhelmed in large fights.
• Save cooldowns to follow up on teammates - Xenobia has trouble securing kills alone, but working alongside teammates allows her status effects and crowd control to shine.
• Be careful when using her focus - using it on a low health enemy at the wrong time may end up saving them if the enemy team comes to defend.
  • Try to split the enemy team in two, with some heroes disabled while the others are forced to fight at a numbers disadvantage.
  • Her focus can also be used as an escape / disengage.
