Unfunded players see the damage cap as a goal, but in reality it is a limitation. When you hit cap that means any further funding you put into a class is wasted, therefore the damage cap is a hindrance to classes which have high % damage skills, like Xenons. So if you have infinite funding, you'll do better on a class like Phantoms that hit like 20+ times per second, instead of a Xenon which only hits 10 times a second. Of course this limitation is only really relevant at about 150-300 B funding or so.

It means that another class with the same amount of funding does more damage. For Xenons it's a combination of how % all stat is very expensive to cube for, and how they hit the damage cap pretty easily. Phantoms on the other hand have a ridiculously hard time getting 50 M lines on Arrow Blaster.

Con = lower ceiling than other chars like NL and phantom. But most people don't get to that point anyways, so.
Too many buffs to keep up. Other than that there really good.
My favorite part about Xenon is that it's not redundant. You don't spam one skill over and over. It's melee, ranged, single target, mobbing, bossing, it's great for everything. One of my favorite classes ever.
Cons: Not enough cons.
P.S. It makes me feel OP
[quote=Spiritual2]:mobbing sucks so much. seriously
bossing is decent and mobility is awesome[/quote]
Apparently you've never seen Beam Dance at work in DIPQ or Evo.
The real problem with Xenons is cubing % all stat, but that's not really an issue until you have serious funding.
As for pros, well
Below 30-40 B funding, they're one of the strongest classes in the game, and they're pretty competitive up until the 100 B mark.
Can be both ranged and melee
High mobility and good at bossing
Slow attack speed.
