Congratulations summoning Xuanzang.

Both of them (Xuanzang and Illya) are powerful and useful, however both of them are different and can't be 100% compared. Yeah, both of them are damage dealer and Single Target NP, however... Illya is aimed to herself. The first skill boost her own buster performance, the second skill protect and buff her, and only the third skill help a party member. So she is 100% damage dealer. Xuanzang isn't like that, the first skill help her, but the second and the third help the team.

I've her since Journey to the West event and I must say she is so great.


 * Like someone else said, you can buff her NP damage with some CE (like Heaven's Feel or The Black Grail) because she can charge it without a problem by herself thanks to her first (flat NP charge) and third (NP gain) skills.


 * The only Caster with taunt, if I remember correctly, or one of the few if not. And not only she can receive all the damage during one turn, she also reduce the damage taken from 500 to 1500. That's A LOT. Between level 6 and 10 you can tank any enemy of any class (except Rider and Berserker). At level 10 you can tank those two too.


 * The NP gain and Star generation boost is wonderful. It helps your team to charge faster, and you can create a nice combo with her and some Riders or Assassins (in example, Xuanzang's third skill with Jack the Ripper. Noble Phantasm all night long).


 * The debuff inmunity is really versatile. You can use it against enemies with hard debuff like NP or skill seal, but you can also use it to help some party members with demerit. In example, use the third skill before Jeanne's NP or Tamamo Cat's NP.

Believe me, you will not regret have her in your team.
