X
Who is X?
X is a 5-star Intellect-afflatus Support who specialises entirely in buff dispel and Moxie disruption. Every time he dispels a Stats Up, Pos Status, or Counter from an enemy, he also inflicts [Silence] on that enemy. His Ultimate reduces enemy Moxie by 2 and prevents them from gaining Moxie for 1 round. He has a damage advantage against Spirit-afflatus enemies through his Intellect typing. Prydwen notes he is a highly situational pick who provides unique value in specific fights but has almost no utility in encounters where enemies do not carry buffs or Moxie.
Kit Summary
Every dispel of an enemy Stats Up, Pos Status, or Counter simultaneously inflicts [Silence] — combining two disruptive effects in a single action.
Ultimate reduces enemy Moxie by 2 and blocks further Moxie gain for 1 round — one of the strongest Moxie suppression tools in the game.
Deals bonus damage against Spirit-afflatus enemies, which includes many elite enemies and bosses.
Almost all of his kit's value relies on the enemy having buffs to dispel and meaningful Moxie to suppress — in fights without these conditions he is a near-empty slot.
Build Guide
🔮 Best Relic / Echo Set
Resonance: ATK% and Incantation Might improve his personal damage. Against Spirit enemies his damage bonus already provides meaningful amplification — a small Penetration Rate investment helps his dispel incantations land consistently.
⚔ Best Light Cone / Weapon
Brave New World (option, prydwen): Ultimate Might improves his Moxie-suppression Ultimate; stacking Incantation Might rewards his frequent dispel casts. Balance, Please (alternative): DMG Bonus against all afflatus except Intellect and 18% Ultimate Might — covers his dispel incantation damage broadly.
📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Dispel + Moxie suppression: X + Horropedia + carry + sustain — double dispel coverage with X handling Moxie suppression and Horropedia stripping enemy buffs.
Counter-buff team: X + any DPS team — swapped in specifically for fights with dangerous enemy buffs or Counter mechanics; replaced by a standard support in other content.
F2P Verdict
X is a limited 5-star. Brave New World is the recommended psychube. His extreme situational design means most F2P players should not prioritise pulling him — his slot can be filled by Horropedia for dispel in most scenarios. Pull only if you specifically need Moxie suppression for hard boss content.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does [Silence] do when X dispels a buff?
[Silence] prevents the enemy from using their skill for a duration. Every time X dispels any Stats Up, Pos Status, or Counter from an enemy, that enemy is immediately Silenced — meaning one dispel provides two disruptive effects simultaneously.
How strong is X Moxie reduction?
His Ultimate reduces enemy Moxie by 2 and prevents them from gaining any Moxie for 1 round. Combined this can fully delay an enemy Ultimate cycle by 1-2 turns — powerful in fights where an enemy Ultimate is the primary threat.
When should I use X over Horropedia?
Use X when Moxie suppression is needed alongside dispel — Horropedia only dispels but deals better damage in fights without meaningful enemy Moxie cycles. X is the stronger choice in boss fights where preventing enemy Ultimates is the primary goal.
