About
This Dragonyule, it's Fydon and Felyx's turn to don the garb of Saint Starfall—and pulling the sleigh is their guardian reindeer, Xainfried! He gave them the starring role out of pure fatherly love, and there is no greater gift.

Overview

Dragonyule Xainfried is the featured 4★ Dragonyule Defenders 2, styling himself as a Crit-based, Xiao Lei-eque support. Although still inferior to Noelle and Tobias in terms of pure team buffs, Xainfried received solid buffs from mana spirals. Most notably, his Skill 2 now fills his dragon gauge faster and allows him to play as either DPS hybrid or dedicated support. With Legend Ciella's focus on damage-based comps, Xainfried has a solid edge over other Wind batteries by offering both decent DPS and increased Dragon form utility.

Strengths

Powerful Crit Rate Buff

Dragon’s Gift shares its SP costs with Noelle’s STR buff, giving it a decent uptime.

More Frequent Shapeshifts

After shapeshifting once, Breath of the Yuletide now fills the dragon gauge by 13%. This allows Xainfried to leverage powerful dragons like Freyja or Gala Reborn Zephyr more often than most Wind adventurers.

Weaknesses

Competes With Other Wind Supports

Both Tobias and Noelle offers more reliable STR buffs that are enhanced by innate Buff Time.

Dragon Recommendations

Freyja

Gala Reborn Zephyr

Midgardsormr Zero

Freyja sacrifices personal damage to maximize Dragon's Gift's uptime while also healing the entire team.

Gala Reborn Zephyr offers the most raw damage in both human and dragon form.

Midgardsormr Zero provides a crucial Wind Res debuff, and Xainfried has enough dragon gauge to apply it during both of Legend Ciella's phases.

Weapon Recommendations

Camelot

Grand Tempest

Chimeratech Frankin

Budget Option: Phytalmios
