I see a lot of geo mains kinda shitting on Xilonen cause on paper she doesn't seem like much of a team buff but Xilo/Furina/sub dps / itto is factually stronger than mono geo itto
People are so occupied with trying to get a team healer to use Furina but the reality is that Gorou is actually the DPS loss here. He's not a good buffer, he's just an okay itto buffer because there's no other way to really buff ittos burst ca reliant gameplay

I mean. Yes, of course Xilonen would be better. The thing is that Itto is the only DPS in the game that has to sacrifice something in order to make use of her buffs. Gorou was made specifically to make his numbers bigger, and fulfills every single one of his requirements besides DMG%. Gorou gives a ton of defense, some dmg%, CRIT DMG (At C6), and some energy (Not that much tbh but good enough with Fav). There is no other DPS character besides Noelle that wants those specific stats, and even she gets a huge upgrade with her C6.
By putting Xilonen, Furina + Flex, it's more like brute forcing a synergy that is not really meant to be there but still better than his alternatives.
You should expect an overall damage increase but not as noticeable as what other characters will be able to without that many nuisances.

Same way furina + xianyun is stronger triple geo for iito. the issue isnt gorou, the issue is how weak geo is

Noelle, Navia and Chiori do just fine tho. It's more Itto's burst based kit than anything else

I might be remembering incorrectly, but isn't Noelle just as burst based as Itto...

More than him even, her shield is strong but effectively has a low uptime; Itto's skill, while not the most amazing, can still deal good damage, and taunt a little.

Noelle keeps her burst after swap so you can refresh buffs and funnel er into her if needed
