Shilonen in Genshin Impact: Guide and Best Builds | 5⭐️ Geo🗿

В Genshin impact Heroine Shilonen has a legendary rarity and belongs to the category of s that increase the damage of allies and ensure the survival of the squad. Due to her elemental skill, she reduces the resistance of enemies to the elements that are in the team, and with the ult restores the health of the active character.

The game for her is convenient due to the simple rotation and long action of skills, the girl stands well in the hyper-carry of the group, since she does not require frequent switching to herself. Belonging to the Geo element and the Pyro region opens access to the strongest sets of artifacts, but the key to the main buff is the creation of an elemental reaction, so the heroine has her own restrictions on the elements in the squad.

History (biography)

Shilonen is a master blacksmith who belongs to the Children of Echo 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 she often leaves the forge and goes to rest in secluded places.

Her 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, she communicates with each client and fills out an individual table so as not to miss a single detail.

The development of her story can be found in the Legends quest "Melodic singing".

The heroine'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.

Abilities

The girl is a , debuffs enemies and heals her allies. She creates samples (special effects, the number of which depends on the number of elements in the party), giving her the ability to play in teams with several elements, including Geo, Pyro, Hydro, Cryo and Electro, as well as reducing enemy resistance to them. Like other Natlan characters, Shilonen'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)

We will tell you in detail about all aspects of the heroine's skills, their features and duration, as well as the priority of pumping.

ive skills

The heroine has several secondary talents that focus on fast movement, increasing her stats or buffing her allies.

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, E-ka must be pumped up to level 10 to get 36% debuff.
2. Explosion of the elements - depending on the type of team, it 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. There's no need to pump them up in the buffer position.

Constellations

Best constellations of Shilonen: С2, С3 и С6.

• Second constellation Provides additional buffs to the group 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, 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 you to be in the Night Spirit Blessing state more often and temporarily not spend Night Spirit points. In addition, her personal numbers increase and she can heal allies not only with her ult.

How to play as Shilonen

Despite the cumbersome description of abilities, the gameplay for the heroine is quite simple. When switching, 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.

Rotation

Procedure: 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 s 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 the girl 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 the ult as it cools down. If she has more than two modified samples, she will start healing the active character. If less, the girl will deal additional damage.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like other heroes, the Blacksmith Girl has strengths and weaknesses that can influence the decision whether to pick this .

Advantages	Disadvantages
Universal , which alone can significantly reduce the resistance to the elements of enemies and heal allies. The ability to give buffs to any character of the Pyro, Hydro, Cryo or Electro elements opens the way to almost any team.	There aren't many options for suitable swords in the game. The best options are only available from banners, and for a craftable sword you need to get blanks from Natlan.
Convenient movement around the world. The Night Spirit's Blessing allows her to move around on roller skates. In this state, not only does her movement and climbing speed increase, but she can also perform powerful jumps in her ocelot form, which speeds up her ascent of various vertical surfaces.	Needs C2, to become a full-fledged in a mono-Geo squad. She cuts resistances while samples are active, but the Geo sample is active either when the heroine is in the Blessing state, or when it was activated upon reaching 90 points of Night Spirit along with samples of two other elements. The character cannot gain points of Night Spirit in a mono-Geo squad, and only C2 allows you to keep Geo samples constantly active, regardless of the presence of Blessing.
Easy assembly. All abilities, including damage and healing, depend on the defense indicator, which also increases with the heroine's level. Finding this stat in artifacts is much easier than balancing other characteristics.
Strong analogue archaic stone for squads with Pyro, Cryo, Hydro and Electro elements. The heroine can significantly strengthen the team if there is no one from the listed s, or act as a character in the second squad for the Abyss.
Can wear a useful set from Natlan Scroll of the Hero of the Burnt City in any team, as it is capable of entering the state of the Night Spirit's Blessing.

Best Shilonen Builds

Shilonen's build should ideally be ive, as she is a character who does not necessarily have to do much 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 heals the team, so it is advisable to press it on cooldown.

Recommended characteristic values

All abilities scale from of protection, so it is this characteristic that should be looked for in the hours and secondary stats. The cup can be taken both for Geo and for defense. Collect the standard 1:2 crit balance if you expect damage to be inflicted through regular attacks and elemental explosions. However, if you need more healing, then the cap can be placed on healing bonus. In addition, in additional stats it is recommended to get enough energy recovery, to hand over the ult at any time.

More precise stats are listed in the table below:

Optimal characteristic values:

• 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 you need quality and regular healing, these attacking stats can be sacrificed even in a driver build.

The defense stat should be a priority in any build.

Best weapon

Weapons will help to gain useful Shilonen stats that cannot be obtained with artifacts. In most cases, this is defense or energy recovery. Swords for critical damage or critical chance can be put in case damage is expected.

Name	ive	Recommendation
Song of the Peak Patrol ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Base stat: 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 also increases the heroine's damage.

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%.	A good weapon option for the driver role after the signature.

Low attack base will not affect the damage, and critical chance and critical damage from an additional stat and ive ability will facilitate the balance of characteristics.

Best Artifacts

Artifacts on Shilonen should her buffering abilities or increase her defense. The best suited sets are those from Natlan.

Detachments for Shilonen

Shilonen is a strong 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 team composition:

• A full-fledged , 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 she is capable of being a full-fledged 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

Teams for Shilonen can be different, the girl shows herself well both in hyper-carry groups and revolver squads. For her, only the elements of allies and their number are important, and due to her mechanics, she does not require adjustment of rotation for specific heroes, as often happens with Anemo s. Therefore, you can take both main-dd and sub-dd for the girl, the main thing is to comply with the condition of activating samples.

Main-dd

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

Sub-dd

Secondary damage dealers that give status for reactions and hit without being on the battlefield:

Sapports

heroes for distributing buffs and shields. The heroine does not need healers.

Top Teams

Teams with a blacksmith girl can be divided into two types:

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

Squads with Shilonen

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.

Squads with Shilonen Driver

A few teams where she takes the driver role 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 punches.

Сonclusion

Shilonen is a very convenient character, who can play both as a and as a driver with strong secondary damage dealers. Her abilities allow her to reduce enemy resistance to the elements that 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 .

However, the abilities are very similar in their results to 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 . Despite the fact that the girl is a fairly strong 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.

Which is better: Signal or C2?

The girl's second constellation is one of the strongest constellations in the game and definitely brings more benefit to the team than the signature weapon. However, there are a couple of important points to consider before spending prayers on the 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 Shilonen signa, it is better than C1. In the case when you can take the second constu only at a "long distance", start with her weapon.
• If you have enough spins for a guaranteed C2 and you are not sure that you have enough for equipment, first knock out the second const 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 exclusively with Electro, you can take only the sword and not spend money on consts.
• C1 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.
