Role

Xun is a distinctive Light S-rank character. She does not play around a normal energy cycle; instead she uses the Non-Closed Clock, which caps at 120 and naturally recovers over time. Her job is to record high-value ally shift or assist skills, stop time, replay those recorded skills and finish the window with katana-form burst damage.

Core Mechanics

• E skill: spends 60 Clock points and records up to three ally shift or assist skills used during the next five seconds.
• Q finisher: spends 120 Clock points, stops time for ten seconds, replays recorded skills and switches Xun into katana form.
• Damage logic: her ceiling depends on the quality of recorded skills, katana hits during the time stop and the team benefits created by replaying ally skills.

Skill and Awakening Priority

Upgrade Q first, then E, then basic attack and assist. Q has the highest value because katana attacks during time stop are counted into the finisher's damage share. For awakenings, prioritize 1, then 6, then 2 and 5 if you continue investing.

Arc Plate and Tapes

Marching Beyond Time is the best dedicated plate. Fearless Wool is a strong battle-pass alternative, while World-Tilting Rain and Hethereau's Peace can work as transitional choices. For tapes, use Lost Light four-piece to support Light damage and defense ignore after her finisher.

Stats

Prioritize crit rate, then Light damage or crit damage. Sub-stats should be crit rate = crit damage > general damage > attack percentage. Do not build energy recharge: the Clock naturally recovers and extra recharge has very low value.

Teams

The premium Creation team is Xun + Nanally + Jiuyuan + protagonist Zero. Xun can replay Nanally and Zero skills to improve stacking and burst ceiling, while Jiuyuan supports grouping and Spirit synergy. High-difficulty burst teams use strong E-skill characters such as Zaowu, Haniya or Fadiya. Budget teams can use Mint, protagonist Zero and a survival slot.

Standard Rotation

1. Wait until Xun has at least 60 Clock points.
2. Use Xun E and enter the five-second recording state.
3. Swap through three teammates and use their best shift or assist skills.
4. Return to Xun and wait until the Clock reaches 120.
5. Use Q, trigger the ten-second time stop and replay recorded skills.
6. During time stop, complete two full five-hit katana strings, then finish with the closing damage.
7. After the window ends, rebuild Clock and repeat.

Quick-Swap Burst

For speed clears or tight rotations, you can skip recording and simply wait for 120 Clock points before using Q. This loses ally-skill replay damage but still gives the full ten-second katana burst. The cycle is roughly 25 seconds and works when Xun is only filling a sub-DPS window.

Advanced Tips

• Cancel heavy-attack recovery by back-dodging without a direction input, then chain the next heavy attack.
• Fit jump attacks between katana strings if you can still complete the core ten hits.
• Re-record only if the first recording captured poor skills, because doing so costs another 60 Clock points and can disrupt the rotation.

Premium Key Sequence

With Xun + Nanally + Jiuyuan + protagonist Zero, use: Xun E -> Jiuyuan E -> Zero E -> Nanally E and burst -> back to Xun until 120 Clock -> Xun Q -> replay all three skills -> land ten katana hits during time stop -> swap out after the window. Mastering record, time stop and katana finish lets Xun act as a reliable high-difficulty burst core.
