History of Shilonen (biography)

Shilonen in Genshin Impact is a master blacksmith who belongs to the Echo Children tribe. Her fame in the Pyro region is so high that some visitors come to her forge not only to order products, but also just to look at the girl and talk to her. However, not everyone is destined to meet her, as Shilonen often leaves the forge and goes to rest in secluded places.

Shilonen's skill allows her to do anything, but information from clients about their wishes is much more important to her than the forging process itself. The girl believes that the result depends entirely on the details received regarding the order. For this reason, before starting production, Shilonen communicates with each client and fills out an individual table so as not to miss a single detail.

The development of Shilonen's story can be found in her Legends mission "Melodic singing".

How to Get Shilonen in Genshin Impact

Shilonen will be released in his own character banner, which will be available in the first half updates 5.1 from October 9 2024 to 29 October 2024. Constellations can be obtained by knocking out copies of the heroine.

Follow banner schedule, so as not to miss the Shilonen rerun.

Shilonen Characteristics: What Increases When Elevated

Shilonen's main stat is - protection. In addition to it, when pumping, the basic indicators of health, attack power and defense also improve. In more detail, all the characteristics at a certain level of the character can be studied in the table.

Shilonen's abilities

Shilonen is a Geo support character who can act as both a full-fledged buffer and as a driver, staying on the battlefield and dealing personal damage along with distributing buffs. She creates samples (special effects, the number of which depends on the number of elements in the squad), giving her the ability to play in teams with several elements, including Geo, Pyro, Hydro, Cryo and Electro, as well as lowering enemy resistance to them. As with other characters in Natlan, the heroine's abilities are tied to the mechanics of Blessings of the Night Spirit, which can last up to 9 seconds and activate the received samples to implement the buff.

Basic skills (active skills)

Below we will tell you more about all aspects of Shilonen's skills and advise you on the order in which it is recommended to upgrade them. In addition to abilities, we will also separately focus on the heroine's passives and constellations, highlighting the most useful of them.

Ehecatl's Roar (Normal, Charged, Falling Attack)

Source of damage: Attack power stat for normal and charged attacks, defense stat for falling attacks and Roller Blades.

Normal attack: Deals up to three hits with a one-handed sword.

Charged Attack: spends stamina and attacks in front of him.

Plunging Attack: Drops to the ground and performs an area slam upon landing. The attack's damage is scaled by Shilonen's defense.

Night Spirit's Blessing: Roller Blades - When Shilonen activates the Night Spirit state, she enters Roller Blade mode. The normal attack is replaced with a Roller attack, which can be used for up to 4 hits. Charged attacks cannot be performed during this mode. During Roller Blade, normal attacks and falling attacks are dependent on Shilonen's defense and attack Geo with strong infusion damage.

Scratch Yowal (Elemental Skill)

• Rollback: 7 seconds
• Original Sample Duration: 15 seconds
• Maximum Night Spirit Points: 90 units.
• Source of damage: defense stat.

Shilonen enters the Night Spirit Blessing state. She lunges forward, dealing Geo damage proportional to her defense, and enters Roller Blade mode, gaining 45 Night Spirit.

During the Blades-roller mode:

1. Increases movement and climbing speed. While climbing, Shilonen can perform powerful jumps in Ocelot form.
2. When Shilonen is in the Night Spirit Blessing state, the points last for a maximum of 9 seconds. After this time, her Night Spirit points are consumed.
3. Normal attacks are replaced with roller attacks and receive a defense scale.
4. Shilonen receives the Source Samples, which are displayed near the Night Spirit indicator bar to the left of the heroine.

Original samples: Shilonen has 3 samplers that depend on the allies' elements. Initially, the samplers have a Geo element, but for each squad member with a Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Electro element, one Geo sample is converted into a sample of the corresponding other element.

While Shilonen is in the Night Spirit state, her Geo Original Sample is always active. With the Echo of Netotilitztli talent unlocked, she restores Night Spirit points with her basic attacks. When Shilonen reaches 90 Night Spirit points, she uses all points and activates all 3 samples for 15 seconds. While they are active, enemies' resistances to the corresponding elements are reduced. The effects of samples of the same element do not stack, and also occur even when Shilonen is not on the battlefield.

In the rhythm of the ocelot! (explosion of the elements)

• Rollback: 15 seconds
• Power consumption: 60 units.
• Duration of the Lively Rhythm: 12 seconds
• Source of damage: defense stat.

Deals Geo damage over an area proportional to its defense. Depending on the available Source Samples, receives the following effects:

1. If there are 2 samples that have undergone elemental conversion, Shilonen will cast Vigorous Rhythm and periodically heal the active character based on her defense. Accordingly, if healing is required from her, the team should have a maximum of one Geo character other than herself and two Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo heroes.
2. If Shilonen has less than 2 samples of other elements, she plays Flame Rhythm and attacks Geo with AoE damage.

The order of leveling talents

Elemental Skill (E) = Elemental Burst (Q) > Normal Attacks (Driver Position Only)

The main benefit of the character is concentrated in E and ult, so first of all you should pay attention to these abilities:

1. Elemental Skill — not only deals damage, but also reduces enemy resistance. Since reducing enemy resistance depends on the ability level, Shilonen's E-class must be upgraded to level 10 to get a 36% debuff.
2. Explosion of the elements - Depending on the type of team, Shilonen gives both a large amount of healing and a lot of additional damage. It should be pumped up on par with E-shka.
3. Normal attacks — I'm only interested in the attacks in the Night Spirit Blessing stance, which depend on the heroine's defense. Shilonen-buffer doesn't need to pump them up, but the character in the driver role uses normal attacks for all 9 seconds of the stance, and in this case they can be raised to 8.

Passive skills

Shilonen's Passive Abilities:

Constellations

All the constellations of Shilonen are listed in the table:

Best constellations of Shilonen: С2, С3 и С6.

• Second constellation Provides additional buffs to the party from samples, in addition to the standard resistance reduction. Note that each buff only goes to the hero whose element matches the same sample. The buff will be most useful in Geo squads and with Cryo damage dealers, as it provides a direct damage increase and a useful rare stat crit. damage. Pyro and Hydro buffs are also strong, but when using other third-party buffs (Bennett, Pyro or Hydro Resonance), the buff is not as indispensable as in the case of the previous elements. Electro characters do not receive a direct damage increase from Shilonen, although they have a significantly reduced ult cooldown and added energy. This makes it possible, for example, to constantly keep the raven Fischl active, more often ult on Beidou, Keqing and Saino.
• Third constellation Increases the level of elemental skill by 3, up to a maximum of 13. This significantly increases the reduction of elemental resistance of enemies (by 45%), which is higher than with the Viridescent Venerer Set, and also applies to all characters in the party at once.
• sixth constellation Allows Shilonen to be in the Night Spirit Blessing state more often and temporarily not spend Night Spirit points. In addition, her personal damage increases and she can heal allies not only with her ult.

How to play as Shilonen

Despite the cumbersome description of abilities, Shilonen's gameplay is quite simple. When switching to the heroine, you need to put her into the Night Spirit state, and then collect the maximum value of points (90 units) using basic attacks. To do this, it is enough to make two basic hits. This will activate the Source Samples and reduce the resistance of enemies to the elements. The ult can be used both on the cooldown for damage, and as needed, depending on whether a heal is needed.

We will provide the exact procedure on how to play Shilonen.

Rotation

Order of actions: Support abilities for applying elemental status and distributing buffs > Elemental skill (E) > 2 normal attacks (or attacks for 9 seconds if playing as a driver) > Q (if healing or damage is needed).

Let's take a closer look at the full Shilonen rotation:

1. Start the fight with supports and sub-dds. Since the heroine most often uses a set Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City, before she enters the battlefield, you need to hang the element that the main damager has on the enemies in order to receive buffs.
2. Switch to Shilonen and activate her elemental skill, which will put her into the Night Spirit's Blessing state and give her 45 points.
3. The girl will start moving on roller skates and attacking with them. Each attack gives an additional 35 Night Spirit points. Perform two attacks to gain 90 points and activate Source Samples. They will automatically accept the elements of allies if they have Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro elements, and also reduce the resistance of enemies to them.
4. Use Shilonen's ult as it cools down. If she has more than two modified samples, she will start healing the active character. If less, Shilonen will deal additional damage.

Advantages and disadvantages of Shilonen

Like other heroes, the blacksmith girl has strengths and weaknesses that can influence the decision whether to knock out Shilonen.

Shilonen upgrade

In the following points, we will examine in detail what materials are needed to level Shilonen up to level 90 and develop her abilities.

Elevation

To level up Shilonen you need to get the following resources:

• Shards, fragments, pieces, gemstones of Prithiva topaz - can be obtained from world and weekly bosses: Geo hypostasis, Golden wolf leader, Serpent of Ruins, Perpetual Mechanical Array, Ancient geovishap, Experimental field generator, Golem Legate, wolf lord, Azhdaha.

• Sparkling chrysanthemum — wonder Natlana, growing in the surrounding area Huitztli Hills and the Stadium of the Sacred Flame.
• 420 000 Mora and 421 hero experience.

Talents

To upgrade Shilonen's abilities to the maximum level, you need the following resources:

• Teachings, instructions and philosophy about "Incineration" - talent books that can be obtained in the dungeon "Fiery Ruins" in Tuesday, Friday и Sunday.
• Wooden Whistle of the Watchman, Metal Whistle of the Warrior, Golden Whistle of the Saurian-crowned Warrior - defeat saurian-like warriors of the tribeto get items.

• Crown of Insight - an item for pumping talents up to level 10.
• 1 653 000 Mora.

Shilonen leveling materials are not required for passive talents, which only have one level and are automatically unlocked after a certain ascension stage.

Best Shilonen Builds in Genshin Impact

Shilonen's build should ideally be a support one, as she is a support character who does not necessarily have to deal a lot of personal damage to benefit the group. However, during the Blessing of the Night Spirit state, the girl is forced to perform several basic attacks, the damage of which, like the damage from the explosion of the elements, depends on the heroine's defense indicator. The ult can not only attack in the Shilonen build as a damage dealer, but also heal the team, so it is advisable to press it on cooldown.

Recommended characteristic values

All of Shilonen's abilities are scaled by of protection, so in the hours and secondary stats it is worth looking for this characteristic. The Cup can be taken both for Geo and for defense. Collect the standard 1:2 crit balance if Shilonen in the DD build is expected to inflict damage through normal attacks and an explosion of elements. However, if you need more healing, then the cap can be put on healing bonus. In addition, in additional stats it is recommended to get enough energy recovery, so that Shilonen could turn in her ult at any time.

More precise characteristics, to make it clearer what to bet on Shilonen, are indicated in the table below:

Artifact	Main characteristic	Additional stats
Flower of Life	HP (permanent)	Crit. Chance/Crit. Damage% Defense % / Defense Energy Recovery %
Feather of Death	Attack Power (Permanent)	Crit. Chance/Crit. Damage% Defense % / Defense Energy Recovery %
The sands of Time	Protection %	Crit. Chance/Crit. Damage% Defense % / Defense Energy Recovery %
space cup	Geo Damage Protection %	Crit. Chance/Crit. Damage% Defense % / Defense Energy Recovery %
Crown of Mind	Critical Chance/Critical Damage Protection% Heal Bonus %	Crit. Chance/Crit. Damage% Defense % / Defense Energy Recovery %

Optimal values ​​of Shilonen characteristics:

• DEF: from 2500 and above (to get the maximum buff from the signal you need to reach 3200).
• Energy recovery: approximately 180-210% for a comfortable set of ults, if she is the only Geo in the squad. If you have an ally of the same element, you can reduce the threshold to 150-170%.
• Crete. chance/crit. damage: 60+/120%+. If Shilonen is required to provide quality and regular healing, these attacking stats can be sacrificed even in a driver build.

The defense stat that Shilonen plays against should be a priority in any build.

Best weapon

Shilonen's weapon should help her gain useful stats that she can't get with artifacts. In most cases, this is defense or energy recovery. Swords for crit. damage or crit. chance can be put in case she acts as a driver. And although the best weapon for Shilonen, as in the case of other legendaries, is always a signal, she has enough alternatives.

Name	Passive	Recommendation
Song of the Peak Patrol ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Protection: 18%-83%	Hitting an enemy with a normal attack or a falling attack gives the Ode to Flowers effect: Defense is increased by 8%-16%, and elemental damage is increased by 10%-20%. The effect can occur once every 0.1 sec, lasts for 6 sec, and stacks up to 2 times. When a second stack is received or refreshed, the allies' elemental damage bonus is increased by 8%-16% for every 1000 units of the wearer's defense for 15 sec. The maximum buff cannot exceed 25.6%-51.2%.	Shilonen's signature weapon. Provides a lot of defense and increases the heroine's damage. In addition, it buffs the entire squad depending on Shilonen's defense.
Uraku Misugiri ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-542 Critical Damage: 19.2%-88.2%	Increases normal attack damage by 16%-32%, and elemental skill - on 24%. If the active character deals Geo damage, these effects are increased by 100% for 15 sec. The wearer's defense is increased by 20%-40%.	Top 2 weapon option for the driver role after Shilonen's signature. In this position, the girl often uses normal attacks, so their buff is useful for her. In addition, additional protection from the passive is not superfluous even for Shilonen-support.
Cleaving Mist ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 48-674 Crete. damage: 9.6%-44.1%	Increases elemental damage by 12%-24%, and also gives the Fog Cutter Emblem, each level of which gives a buff 8%-16%, 16%-32% or 28%-56% to the character's elemental damage. Emblem levels can be obtained when dealing damage with a normal attack while infused (lasts 5 seconds), when activating an ult (lasts 10 seconds) and when the hero’s energy has not reached 100%.	With the elemental infusion, Shilonen will be able to utilize all the buff stacks, gaining a significant bonus to the Geo damage she deals. However, due to the defense scaling, the weapon's high base attack will not bring any benefit.
Flute Espizal ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 Protection: 15%-69%	After using the E-card, the carrier's protection increases by 16%-32% for 15 sec.	The best epic sword for Shilonen, which significantly increases her defense stat. The sword's passive will work constantly, since the heroine plays from the activation of the elemental skill. In addition, the weapon is quite easy to obtain through crafting, if you have blanks.
Freedom-Sworn ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 Elemental Mastery: 43-198	Increases damage by 10%-20%. When triggering a reaction, grants a Talisman of Inspiration every 0.5 sec. When 2 such Talismans accumulate, they disappear, and squad members gain the effect of "Thousand-Year Symphony: Hymn of Rebellion" for 12 sec., increasing the damage of normal, charged and falling attacks by 16%-32%, and attack power - by 20%-40%.	Although Shilonen does not require elemental mastery, this sword is a viable option if you have managed to accumulate enough defense from other sources. The weapon will increase the heroine's own damage and provide useful buffs to her allies.
Cinnabar spindle ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 Protection: 15%-69%	E-shki damage is increased by 40%-80% from protection once every 1.5 sec. The effect disappears 0.1 sec after dealing damage with an elemental skill.	The sword was obtainable in patch 2.3. A good weapon for defense, but the passive will only work on the very first hit before entering the Night Spirit Blessing state.
Haran Geppaku Futsu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 Crete. chance: 7.2%-33.1%	Increases elemental damage by 12%-24%. Grants up to two levels of Spike Wave after using the E-Shki by allies once every 0.3 sec. Levels of Spike Wave are spent after the wielder of the sword uses a skill, and are converted into the Chaos Wave effect, which increases the damage of the character's normal attack by 20%-40% for each level for 8 sec.	Better suited for a driver role with constant use of normal attacks. Provides a lot of crit chance, allowing to focus on crit damage and defense in the build, and an important bonus to elemental damage.
The Black Sword ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Crete. chance: 6%-27.6%	Increases the damage of normal and charged attacks by 20%-40%. Crete. hits with normal and charged attacks every 5 sec. restore HP equal to 60%-100% from attack power.	The principle of operation is similar to the legendary weapon above, but does not require pressing the E-keys of allies to activate the buff. Gives less critical chance, but the attack characteristic is not important for Shilonen, so the swords, despite the different rarity, are almost equal to each other in battle.
Harbinger of Dawn ⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 39-401 Crete. damage: 10.2%.46.9%	Increases crit. chance for 14%-28% at HP above 90%.	Suitable for teams where Shilonen enters the field to make two hits, but at the same time has a critical build. Low attack base will not affect the damage, and crit. chance and crit. damage from the additional stat and passive ability will facilitate the balance of characteristics.
Aquila Favonia ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 41-454 Energy recovery: 13.3%-61.3%	Critical hits with 60%-100% once in a lifetime chance 12-6 sec. creates elemental particles that restore 6 units of energy.	A universal sword for supports, allowing to pump up energy not only for the carrier, but also for the whole team. For more comfortable work of the weapon it is required to gain at least 50% critical chance.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts for Shilonen should support her buffering abilities or increase her defense. The best sets for her are from Natlan.

Name	Description	Recommendation
Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: When a squad member activates Night Spirit's Flash, the wearer of this set will recover 6 energy. 4 parts: When the bearer of the artifacts causes a reaction, allies receive a 12% bonus to damage from elements that were involved in causing the reaction for 15 sec. If the bearer is under the Blessing of the Night Spirit state, allies additionally receive 28% damage from elements related to the reaction for 20 sec.	The best set of artifacts for Shilonen. The heroine is a character from Natlan, so she will be able to realize all the possibilities of the set. In order for the squad members to receive an increase in elemental damage, before Shilonen leaves, it is necessary to hang a status on the enemies so that the girl causes the desired reaction.
Husk of Opulent Dreams ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases defense by 30%. 4 parts: The wearer gains stacks of Curiosity in the following situations: 1 level when hit by Geo damage; 1 level every 3 seconds while in the pocket. Curiosity stacks up to 4 times and increases defense and Geo damage by 6% per stack. If the hero does not receive stacks every 6 seconds, he loses 1 level.	If you can't get the Natlan set, you can use the old Defense set as an alternative. The set also gives a bonus to Geo damage, which is useful when using normal attacks in the rotation.
Noblesse Oblige ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases ult damage by 20%. 4 parts: Using the ult increases allies' attack power by 20% for 12 sec. The effect does not stack.	A universal set of artifacts for support characters that can be given to Shilonen, provided that there are no other wearers of this set in the team. Increases damage from elemental explosion and additionally buffs allies.
Archaic Petra ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: Increases Geo damage by 15%. 4 parts: A picked up elemental shard formed by a Crystal reaction grants a 35% bonus to the elemental damage of the corresponding element to all party members for 10 sec. You can only have one element's damage bonus at a time.	A good option for squads with Hydro, Pyro, Electro and Cryo allies, especially if there are at least two of the same element. Can be used as a driver or as a support, entering the field only for two hits. The main thing is to monitor the selection of crystals.
Husk of Opulent Dreams Maiden Beloved/Mollusk of sea colors/Song of old times Emblem of Severed Fate	2 parts: Increases defense by 30%. 2 parts: increases the healing bonus by 15%. 2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 20%.	An alternative option aimed at selecting the characteristics that Shilonen needs most. You can choose any variation from the 2+2 sets listed.
Obsidian Tome ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	2 parts: The wearer's damage while under the Blessing of the Night Spirit is increased by 15%. 4 parts: When the wearer spends 1 point of Night Spirit, their critical chance is increased by 40% for 6 sec. The effect occurs once every 1 sec.	A less versatile kit, as Shilonen can only be used as a driver. If the girl plays exclusively as a support and quickly goes into the pocket, she will not be able to realize the gains from the kit.
Will of the Defender Scientist	2 parts: Increases defense by 30%. 2 parts: Increases energy recovery speed by 20%.	A 2+2 set similar to the previous one, but more accessible for beginners.

Detachments for Shilonen

Shilonen is a strong support hero in the squad, who single-handedly occupies the buffer and healer slot. The heroine is able to reduce enemy resistance to various elements, deal damage with regular attacks and ult, and heal the active character. Shilonen can be assembled in different ways, depending on the composition of the team:

• A full-fledged support, who is in a squad with characters of Pyro, Hydro, Cryo and Electro elements, constantly gains maximum points of Night Spirit and activates samples, subsequently going back into the pocket.
• A driver who can constantly move around the battlefield and hit enemies with normal attacks, dealing damage and giving buffs to his sub-DDs.

It is worth paying special attention to the fact that Shilonen is capable of being a full-fledged support for Geo damage dealers in a mono-Geo squad only with the presence of C2. Without a second constellation, the girl will not be able to keep Geo samples active after leaving the battlefield in order to reduce resistance to this element for the main damage dealer. Without C2, this is possible if, in addition to the Geo main-dd and Shilonen herself, there are two characters in the team of Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro elements.

Best characters

We'll tell you more about the heroes that Shilonen can play well with, and also present several possible squads for her.

Main-dd

The characters that deal the main damage in the team and act as the center of the group if Shilonen takes the position of a full-fledged buffer:

Character	Element	Weapon	Effects
Itto	Geo	Two-handed sword	Geo damager who plays mostly from the ult. During the explosion of the element, his attacks are colored in Geo and deal increased damage. Can receive buffs from Shilonen or in a team with several elements, or if the heroine has C2.
Navia	Geo	Two-handed sword	A heroine that pairs well with Shilonen, as she also prefers to play in multi-elemental squads. Creates crystals and then absorbs them to increase her own elemental skill damage.
Ningguang	Geo	Catalyst	An epic main DD that deals Geo damage with normal and charged attacks, as well as an ult. Places a screen that protects from projectiles and provides buffs.
Neuvillette	Hydro	Catalyst	A strong Hydro damage dealer that deals massive amounts of damage with charged attacks. Needs to trigger various reactions, and also benefits from the defense cut from Shilonen.
Ayato	Hydro	One handed sword	Another Hydro DD who relies on allies to deal high damage. With his skill, he enters a stance that converts his normal attacks into Hydro, and with his ult, he places a field that gives a little elemental status and a buff. Due to his short time on the field, he can easily give way to Shilonen.
Mualani	Hydro	Catalyst	Hydro damage dealer from Natlan who plays off normal attacks during Night Spirit stance. Has synergy with Shilonen, as she allows her to cast Flash more often. Also, the stable resistance reduction from samples is more convenient for her than from emerald shadow, in terms of rotation.
Mavuika	Pyro	Two-handed sword	Shilonen is a great support for Mavuika in gaining Fighting Spirit points, making him a top-1 support for her.
Hu Tao	Pyro	A spear	Spends his health in exchange for Pyro Infusion and deals increased damage with charged attacks depending on his HP. Heals himself with his Ultimate and attacks nearby enemies. In a group with Hu Tao Shilonen, you should be careful when using the explosion to heal or avoid using it altogether.
Arlekino	Pyro	A spear	Pyro main DD, plays from the mechanics of Life Debt. Colors his attacks in Pyro, but blocks some HP and does not receive healing during the fight.
Yoimiya	Pyro	Bow	Deals damage to Pyro with normal attacks from a distance. Since the range of Shilonen samples is quite long, it allows Eimiya to stay away from enemies and still receive buffs.
Lyney	Pyro	Bow	Attacks with Pyro-charged shots from a distance and consumes his own health, which he restores. Works best in mono-Pyro teams, where Shilonen can replace an Anemo character to reduce resistances.
Klee	Pyro	Catalyst	Deals high Pyro damage at close to mid range with her bombs. Like Lini, she thrives in mono-elemental teams that need strong buffs.
Ganyu	Cryo	Bow	Cryo damager who can play both through Melt and Freeze reactions. Attacks with charged shots from a distance, dealing damage over an area. Can distract enemies with the skill.
Wriothesley	Cryo	Catalyst	A melee fighter who attacks with his fists and deals Cryo damage. He tends to play through reactions and also needs a strong buffer and healer, as he regularly loses HP.
Clorinda	electro	One handed sword	Electro main DD, who, like Harlequin, plays from the Life Debt mechanic, but, unlike her, on the contrary, welcomes healers in his squad. Shilonen in a squad with her can cover both the need for healing and the need for buffs, but the effect will only work if this is a team from Overload or Charged.
Keqing	electro	One handed sword	Standard legendary damage dealer, attacks with charged attacks under infusion. As in the case of Clorinda, she can only receive buffs from samples in tasers and overload squads. With C2, Shilonen can activate the ult almost constantly.

Sub-dd

Secondary damage dealers in Shilonen squads that give status for reactions and deal damage without being on the battlefield:

Character	Element	Weapon	Effect
Kachina	Geo	A spear	A secondary damage dealer who can deal damage both on the battlefield and from the pocket. He is a character from Natlan, so Shilonen will help by summoning Night Spirit Flash.
Albedo	Geo	One handed sword	Geo sub-DD, attacks with elemental damage in parallel with the main damage dealer. Also increases mastery of elements, which can be useful for other damage dealers in the squad.
Tiori	Geo	One handed sword	Plays with mechanics similar to Albedo, dealing Geo damage from the pocket. However, it requires Geo constructs, so it works best with Shilonen C2 and other Geos in the party.
Ye Lan	Hydro	Bow	A hydro sub-DD that mostly uses elemental burst. Her attacks during the ult are triggered by the active character's normal attacks, so the heroine will be able to work well both as an applicator for reactions and with a Shilonen driver.
Xingqiu	Hydro	One handed sword	Epic alternative to Ye Lan. Deals high Hydro damage from the pocket, heals the active character and increases their resistance to interruption.
Furina	Hydro	One handed sword	Hydro heroine who can both deal damage and heal the active character. Her ult buffs the entire team. Shilonen will help quickly gain stacks of fanfares due to her healing.
Xiangling	Pyro	A spear	A versatile Pyro sub-DD that plays off an elemental explosion, during which it deals Pyro damage to enemies around it. It can grant additional elemental status and increase attack power by 15% Oboe.
Dehya	Pyro	Two-handed sword	Creates a field inside which Pyro attacks with damage along with the active character. Also increases allies' interrupt resistance and absorbs some of the incoming damage.
Pyro GG	Pyro	One handed sword	Will deal some damage from the pocket, and will also allow Shilonen to reduce enemies' resistance to the Pyro element.
Rosary	Cryo	A spear	Plants a spear on the ground and attacks with it in an area, periodically inflicting reaction status. Grants a crit chance, which is useful for Shilonen given the difficulty in balancing her stats.
Raiden	electro	A spear	Significantly reduces energy recovery requirements for Shilonen, provides high explosive damage with the ult or stable Electro status with the E-circle.
Fischl	electro	Bow	Electro sub-dd that summons Oz the raven, which attacks nearby enemies. With the presence of constellations, Oz deals damage together with the active damage dealer. At C2 Shilonen Fischl can constantly keep Oz active.
Beidou	electro	Two-handed sword	Plays from the ult, which launches lightning at enemies. If Beidou has the first constellation, also creates a shield.

Sapports

Support heroes for distributing buffs and shields. Shilonen does not need healers.

Character	Element	Weapon	Effects
Goro	Geo	Bow	The best support for Geo heroes. Gives a lot of defense and increases their elemental damage.
Yun Jin	Geo	A spear	Increases damage of normal attacks and can act as a battery due to the skill's fast cooldown. Only suitable for a Shilonen Driver team, since she doesn't use many basic attacks as a buffer.
Zhongli	Geo	A spear	One of the best shielders, which additionally reduces enemy resistance to elements, including Geo.
Thoma	Pyro	A spear	Pyro shielder, which also applies status to enemies. With C6, increases the damage of normal attacks.
Citlali	Cryo	Catalyst	While Shilonen and Sitlali serve a similar role in a squad, they can be played together in a group with some Hydro or Pyro hypercarry.
Laila	Cryo	One handed sword	Like Toma, it provides a strong shield and deals consistent Cryo damage. If Layla has a fourth constellation, it also increases the active character's basic attacks.
Kazuha	Anemo	One handed sword	Although Anemo characters do not interact with the Geo element and do not affect Shilonen samples, Kazuha will be able to provide an additional boost to an elemental squad and pull enemies together.

Top Teams

In the following points we will analyze all the suitable units for Shilonen. Among them, two main types can be distinguished:

• Groups where the heroine plays the role of a support buffer.
• Teams where the girl uses basic attacks and is a driver for strong pocket sub-dds.

Squads with Shilonen support

Squads where Shilonen becomes an active character for a few seconds to use samples to reduce resistance, and then goes back to the pocket, giving way to the main DD. The heroine is well suited for main damage dealers with both long and short stance, since she only needs to use E, ult and 2 normal attacks, but if necessary, she can linger on the field.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Itto Ningguang	Fischl Rosary Xiangling	Shilonen	Thoma Laila	A squad with Geo Resonance, plus two elemental heroes other than Geo, to implement Shilonen's samples. Itto or Ningguang are the main damage dealers, assisted by a sub-DD in the second slot. The Shielder in the last slot provides defense, additional status, and buffs if there are constellations. Shilonen must enter the battlefield to gain Night Spirit and activate the samples.
Itto Ningguang	Goro Yun Jin	Shilonen	Zhongli Albedo Tiori	Mono-Geo team that can work with Shilonen's C2 to keep samples active all the time. The support role can be taken by Goro (increasing defense and Geo damage) or Yun Jin (increasing normal attacks and pumping energy). Shilonen deals damage and reduces resistance to Geo. The last slot can be taken by Zhongli for shields and additional. reduction of resistance or one of the sub-DDs.
Navia	Xiangling Dehya	Shilonen	Ye Lan Xingqiu Furina	Squad with Navia through Crystallization. Since the squad has Geo, Pyro and Hydro elements, Shilonen will give buffs to all allies. The gameplay of the squad consists of alternately pressing the abilities of all heroes to create crystals, after which Navia collects them and deals damage.
Navia	Xiangling Dehya	Shilonen	Bennett	Another option for a group with Naviya. Shilonen doesn't need the buff and healing from Bennett, but he is useful for Naviya and Pyro sub-dd. In addition, two Pyro heroes provide resonance and additionally increase Naviya's attack power.
Neuvillette	Furina	Shilonen	Kazuha	A squad where the main DD is Nevillet. Furina deals damage from the pocket, increases the damage of the ult, and also gives Hydro Resonance to increase HP. Shilonen is needed to reduce the resistance of enemies to Hydro. Kazuha does not interact with Shilonen in any way and is needed to strengthen Nevillet and inflate Hydro.
Ayato Mualani	Xiangling Pyro GG	Shilonen	Kachina Bennett	Hydro damager interacts with Xiangling and causes a reaction of Steam. Shilonen reduces enemy resistance to Hydro and Cryo, and also heals the main DD. The last slot can be used for Kachina to implement Flash under Mualani or Bennett for Ayato and Xiangling.
Hu Tao Arlekino	Ye Lan Xingqiu	Shilonen	Albedo	A squad with Geo Resonance under a Pyro damage dealer who summons Steam with Xingqiu or Ye Lan. Albedo is worth it for extra damage and boost mastery of the elements. Shilonen cuts through resistances, but her heal in the case of Hu Tao must be used with caution so as not to reduce damage. Harlequin does not absorb healing, but will be able to protect herself with regular shields from Crystallization.
Yoimiya	Furina	Shilonen	Yun Jin	A team similar to the previous one, but Eimiya is in the main DD spot. Furina plays through damage and gives status with buffs for Eimiya. Yun Jin is needed to pump energy for the whole squad and strengthen normal attacks.
Mavuika	Furina	Shilonen	Kazuha Citlali	Team with Pyro Archon from the reaction of Steam. Anemo character will provide inflation, Shilonen will help in activating the ult, Furina will give a buff and Hydro status for charged attacks. If desired, Anemo support can also be replaced with Sitlali.
Klee Lyney	Xiangling Dehya	Shilonen	Bennett	Mono-Pyro squad with Klee or Lini, dealing damage to enemies with reduced resistance from Shilonen. Bennett is needed to increase the attack power of the damage dealer and Pyro resonance, but if necessary, you can put another sub-DD instead of him if Shilonen has C2.
Ganyu Wriothesley	Xiangling Pyro GG	Shilonen	Bennett	Group via Melt reaction. Xiangling is required to constantly activate Elemental Burst to trigger a status reaction from Ganyu or Risley. Bennett goes to the last slot to close Pyro Resonance and help Xiangling.
Clorinda Keqing	Ye Lan Xingqiu	Shilonen	Furina Mona	Taizer with Electro damage dealers. Ye Lan or Xingqiu give a lot of Hydro element, they are helped by Furina or Mona, who also give buffs. Shilonen reduces resistances, and on C2 allows the damage dealer to ult with almost no cooldown.
Lisa	Xiangling	Shilonen	Noelle	A standard team with Shilonen, where Lisa takes the main DD spot. Xiangling causes overload and deals damage from the pocket. Noelle is placed in the last slot to create a shield and additional damage if Lisa and Xiangling fail.

Squads with Shilonen Driver

A few teams where Shilonen is a driver and spends a lot of time on the field, not only buffing her allies but also dealing damage herself. In these teams, her rotation takes a longer time (at least 9 seconds of normal attacks), so she pairs well with characters whose abilities are triggered by damage from the hand.

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
Shilonen	Xiangling Dehya	Ye Lan Xingqiu Furina	Fischl Raiden Beidou	A squad with Shilonen and three sub-DDs who attack in parallel with the heroine from the pocket. All characters cause various reactions, and also constantly have reduced resistances to all three elements at once. Shilonen does not receive a buff for himself, but pumps up energy for allies. Instead of one of the sub-DDs, you can put Anemo support.
Shilonen	Ye Lan Xingqiu	Fischl Raiden Beidou	Zhongli	A rather expensive option for a squad with Hydro and Electro as pocket damage dealers for the reaction of Charged. All heroes attack with combined strikes on basic attacks, so Shilonen should use them for the full 9 seconds of her driver rotation. As a partial debuffer, you can put Zhongli, as he reduces the resistance of enemies.
Shilonen	Ye Lan Xingqiu	Yun Jin Goro	Xiangling Dehya	Another variant of the squad, but through the reaction of Steam, which is passively caused by Hydro and Pyro sub-dd. Yun Jin can be put in the role of a buffer for Shilonen to strengthen normal attacks or Goro if she does not have enough defense.
Shilonen	Albedo Tiori	Goro	Yun Jin Zhongli	Mono-Geo squad that will work even without C2, since Shilonen in the Blessing of the Night Spirit state is constantly on the field. The main damage in this case comes from her and Albedo and Tiori under the buffs of Shilonen and Goro. As the last hero, you can take another buffer or shielder to increase survivability.
Shilonen	Xiangling	Keia	Lynette Noelle	F2P team, where the basis of the team's damage is Xiangling and Kaeya's ults, as well as the Melt reaction from them. Shilonen is on the battlefield almost all the time, constantly gaining Night Spirit points and activating samples. They reduce resistance not only to Cryo and Pyro, but also to Geo, so Noelle can also be put on the last slot.

Сonclusion

Shilonen in Genshin Impact is a convenient support character who can play both as a support and as a driver with strong secondary damage dealers. Her abilities allow her to reduce enemy resistance to the elements that Shilonen's allies have, and she can also heal the active hero. In addition, with the presence of constellations, the heroine gets the opportunity to distribute additional buffs depending on the elements of the squad members.

However, Shilonen's abilities are very similar in their results Kazuha's skills в Viridescent Venerer Set or the effect of Zhongli с Archaic Stone Artifacts. Her abilities on C0 do not bring practically anything new, so if you have the mentioned heroes, you can refuse to get Shilonen without a strong loss for your account. Despite the fact that the girl is a fairly strong support without constellations, she fully reveals herself on C2, which gives additional buffs and the ability to play in mono-Geo teams not in the driver position.

What is better for Shilonen: Signa or C2?

Shilonen's second constellation is one of the strongest support constellations in the game and definitely brings more value to the team than a signature weapon. However, there are a couple of important points to consider before spending prayers on a banner:

• If the layout of the number of source stones is such that there is no guarantee of at least C1 and there is a chance to stay at C0 until the next rerun with bad spins, first take the signature. The signature sword Shilonen is better than C1. In the case when you can take the second Shilonen constellation only at a "long distance", start with her weapon.
• If you have enough spins to guarantee C2 and you are not sure that you have enough for a sword, first knock out the second constu and only then go to the armory. It is better to stay with C2, but without a signal, than with C1 and a signal.
• The highest priority of C2 goes to Geo and Cryo teams, the lowest – to Electro. If you play Shilonen exclusively with Electro, you can take only the sword and not waste money on consts.
• C1 Shilonen is mostly only useful for teams where it's important to provide good interrupt resistance. If you're playing a squad where the enemy's attack reset is not critical, the first constellation won't bring much benefit and will only serve as a stepping stone to getting the second constellation.
