Talents
As Xavian, a lot of your durability comes from Shining Halo and self healing with Brilliant Flash. As a result, we want as high uptime on Shining Halo as possible, as well as picking talents that fill the defensive void in-between our main cooldowns.
As you unlock points throughout your journey, different nodes require different investment, which means our options can be quite free flowing, but I’ve outlined what I believe to be the best general defensive set-up you can have at every stage.

Early on one of the main struggles Xavian suffers with us uptime on his defensives, particularly Shining Halo. This build focuses on aiding his Halo uptime early on through Grand Halo, Rising Sun and Celestial Favor, before transitioning into Vanguard Of Vengeance and the meta build to fix his mana problems.
Once you obtain your BiS weapon you can drop Imposing Presence and spread the 2 points out across Light's Oath, Sun's Verdict, Zenith Technique or Shifting Spectrum depending on what you prefer!

Early game the build functions effectively the same as the General build, however once you reach end-game, the build swaps to being Invictus focused in combination with Hallowed Shield and the Boots legendary to empower your shielding as much as possible. It's an extremely tanky build that becomes incredible as you scale into the late game and gain more stats.
