Dislyte Esper Guides: Lin Xiao (White Tiger)

Originating from the White Tiger, a mythical creature from Chinese myth that also symbolizes the season of Autumn, Lin Xiao is an Epic Shimmer Fighter. Her talent lies in distributing debuffs to the enemy and hitting for guaranteed CRIT damage.

Lin Xiao Details

Is Lin Xiao a Good Esper in Dislyte?

As Shimmer Esper, Lin Xiao can prove useful across a range of content due to having no inherent weakness. On top of this, she is an extremely powerful single-target damage dealer in her own right who can also inflict the enemy with several debuffs across her whole kit. She is particularly suited to the Ritual Miracle where she is one of the Best Espers for Apep.

Lin Xiao’s whole kit revolves around the Tiger Roar buff stacks that her third ability, Light of the Year, bestows upon her. With Tiger Roar stacks, she sees her C. RATE increase by +100% guaranteeing that she deals crit damage on her next attacks. Light of the Year also deals damage to all enemies and can inflict the enemy with SPD Down and DEF Down.

Her second ability, Whiplash, hits 1 enemy and deals massive damage especially when she has active Tiger Roar stacks. It also inflicts them with 2 Bleed stacks, which are then doubled if she makes a Crit. Lastly, her basic ability, Tiger Fist, deals damage and casts Diseased on the target so they cannot heal – particularly useful for Apep.

Lin Xiao Equipment

Due to Lin Xiao’s Tiger Roar stacks, she is effectively able to make a crit hit every time she attacks. As such, a build that maximizes this damage with counters and C. DMG can be a good tactic. Alternatively, you can forgo the counters and instead focus on ensuring her debuffs hit their target. Therefore, you should look to apply the following sets:

• Thunder: C. DMG +40%
• Avatara: Grants a 25% chance of using Counterattack upon taking damage.
• Recurve: ACC +25%

Lastly, Lin Xiao’s Equipment characteristics should prioritize C. DMG, ATK BONUS, and SPD.
