However, unlocking his true carrying potential relies on choosing the correct equipment paths, arcana loadouts, and runes. Check out our comprehensive guide below to learn the optimal Xeniel build and competitive strategies utilized by top-tier players to secure victories on the ladder.”

Xeniel’s Abilities
Passive: Holy Brand
Every third regular assault. Xeniel delivers magic damage equal to 4%–8% of his own maximum HP (+1% at levels 4/7/10/13).
Skill 1: Divine Protection
Xeniel creates a protective barrier around himself that deflects damage in the range of 400/520/640/760/880/1000 (+0.4 AP) +4/5/6/7/8/9% of his own maximum HP. After 2.5 seconds, Xeniel can destroy the barrier by hitting the ability button once more. This will deal adjacent foes 400/520/640/760/880/1000 (+0.4 AP) (+4/5/6/7/8/9% of his own maximum HP) magic damage and slow down their movement for 1 second. In the event that the barrier is demolished by an enemy, no damage nor restrictions on movement will be applied.
Skill 2: Malleus
Xeniel lunges towards the target area, stunning nearby opponents for 1.25 seconds while also causing 280/340/400/460/520/580 (+0.54 AP) magic damage to them.
Skill 3: Angelic Splendor
As he soars into the air in the direction of the target allied hero at the moment of casting, Xeniel chooses one ally hero to grant a 40% damage reduction buff for two seconds. After 2.2 seconds, Xeniel descends into the target area, healing the ally hero for 15% of their maximum HP and increasing Xeniel’s movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds while dealing 300/450/600 (+0.8 AP) magic damage to adjacent enemies.
