Shade vs Xenon

Was wondering what class would be best to main, train and boss with the same amount of fund going into them.

Could you also explain why in the comments? :]

Shade and Xenon have drastically different playstyles, you shouldn't have to ask this question. Both of them are viable classes with their own unique advantages. Play them and decide which one you like more.

Damage-wise they're basically on par. Xenons will ramp faster at lower funding, then start losing to Shade at around 1.5 M range.
Mobility-wise Xenon has better horizontal and vertical distance/speed, but Shade is more agile with their backstep and teleport.
Xenons have 6+ buffs and you need to cast OOPArts every 40 or so seconds to maintain optimal dps, Shade has basically no buffs.

@Qubii: It's easier to get around maps because we can just FJ and tele.

What do you mean they could get to places quickly?

Xenon have a better FJ and a skill that will take them home and any continent.

shade's are a great class for pretty much everything, i don't think they have buffs, everything is passive which saves time on buffing, really useful for bossing

I recently quit my xenon, even with capping on it and the upcoming buff. the fact you have 14 active buffs over shades 2, I find it much easier to get going and continue dealing damage on shade. All I can say is shade has the best bind in the game, and a soul split.
