Do you think Candis is better than Xilonen for the team? oot

This C6 Candace gives 37% Dmg bonus to Arle's NAs + *maybe* Instructors for 120EM, and enables Vape; with more levels, that Dmg bonus can probably go up to 40%.
Xilonen gives 40% Dmg bonus + 36% shred, which - assuming the mobs have standard res - gets diluted by VV's 40% res to just give 133% vs. 115% res multiplier, or a 15.7% damage increase; even a 0 EM Arle only needs to melt 1/3 of her DPS to beat that.
Though *maybe* it should go Candace-Bennett-Kazuha though, she does need the Bennett and the shred a bit more than the Vape, unless Candace is on Instructors. Or it might not work, I don't have the right comp to test it.

My Candace is on 2p 2p HP and it's already a little rough to get her burst back. I also do not have many instructor pieces with ER so I cannot switch at the moment.
I was only worried about candace's burst uptime hence why I switched to her last but I'll try the other way around to see if it helps in any way!

Where do u get 37% dmg bonus from candace to arle's nas?
UK20032026-01-22 09:26
Her C2 increases max Hp when skill hits an opponent. My Candace has 34k hp which increases to 36.8k or something akin to that, hence that's a ~37% NA buff.
UK20032026-01-21 19:14
I do not have xilonen so I cannot say for sure, but candice (strictly C6) allows you to vape and provides you with NA buff based on her hp so she does fit in as a team member unironically, though not being the best or the worst option.
I do not have xilonen or citlali meanwhile I need fischl for the Strom trooper cause no flins / ineffa / columbina either.... So I am working with what I have :') and it's been unbelievably tough to keep the dogs grouped.

hey can u share ur arle build , how about xinque in place of candace?
UK20032026-01-22 05:28
You can look at my [akasha page for builds : )](https://akasha.cv/profile/852756996?build=f13d2f99db2fb8a9135314fc40773c50)

Oh and I forgot about the second question... Xingqui burst cooldown doesn't line up well in arle teams hence he is not a very popular pick, unless you grab xingqui + yelan + bennet and opt for N2C spam. Also xingqui is single target and doesn't apply hydro to all enemies in Aoe so he is not very good in this stage. Candace's Burst application at C6 or kaeya C6 are much more reliable options.

my arle is far weaker , all hopes lost . I'll have to pull Innefa or something.

Arlecchino experiences a Mualani moment
When I ran this boss, with Kazuha and a somewhat strict timing you can group the birds onto a boss in a way where they stay grouped in a cluster for a while, which alleviates this issue. Basically your Hold E should end (Kazuha jumps) somewhat close to the instant birds spawn, you then plunge and run around the birds while the furthest two move in your direction. What happens is that birds start to walk backwards and derp around the boss and themselves.
You'd know your timing is right when the birds fly to you knocked over. Might even get a fall damage instance, though it's inconsistent for me

At lv 100 stage the boss absorbs the minions at 28s no matter what (or atleast for me) meanwhile in the clip they are still there until 30+ seconds. Is the absorption time higher at lv 105 or some other case?

Maybe hitlag shenanigans idrk
It might be what you're saying, too, but I can't really test rn
UK20032026-01-22 09:28
The enemies aren't too sturdy and the weapon being polearm does not make me think it's due to hit lag. Still I managed to clear it with the same Candace team with the grouping from the clip so thanks a lot! I am sure I would not have been able to do it without it.
