Official Summary[]

“

Prized pupil of Devaedra herself, Xenobia emerged from the maelstrom with her mind, her pride, and her ambition intact. The physical changes...those were merely the price of power, Xenobia mused, and perhaps they could even be appreciated in time.^[1]

„

Gaze upon her visage and despair! Xenobia strips away enemies' armor, diminishes their attacks, and slows them to a crawl.^[1]

Summary[]

A master of control and disruption, play carefully around the battlefield as Xenobia, using her life leeching attacks and plentiful debuffs to afflict your enemies aplenty.

Wave of Sorrow can knock players back, which is great on the Canyon level, allowing you to knock enemies off the cliff immediately.
Gaze of Envy, Words of Spite, Mark of Despair, Wave of Sorrow, Gaze of Envy is your best combo.
Watch out for heavy damage and fast heroes, as they can absolutely wreck Xenobia in very short order.
Xenobia is a hero built on good stamina. Watch what you're doing and keep your stamina up, otherwise you're going to have a pretty bad time.
Upgraded Gaze of Envy reduces overall damage by 60% for 3 seconds. This is stackable, hugely increasing your survival time for one on one fights.
Words of Spite breaks armor, and when used in group combat, can make quick work of the enemy.

Notes[]

Gaze of Envy: None who follow Devaedra into the maelstrom emerge completely intact. The successes retain a semblance of their previous form. Not so the failures.^[1]
Words of Spite: “Words are the deadliest poison of all, for the victims repeat them and thus spread the toxin.” – Xenobia^[1]
Wave of Sorrow: When brought into the maelstrom, Xenobia remembered her family's fate: the poverty, the violence, the mourning. Never again, she swore.^[1]
Mark of Despair: “I don't want you to fail,” Xenobia said. “I want to you dwell on the fact that you're about to fail.”^[1]
Cursed Soul: “Why do our wounds matter if our rivals have so much life to give?” – Xenobia^[1]
