Compared to her siblings, Xivu Arath is the least subtle but the most bloodthirsty, boisterous and wrathful of the three which is fitting for a war god. Nearly every time Xivu Arath has spoken its akin to ferocious growls and screams of bloodlust, even when she would otherwise be speaking more mellow words. However, while her tactical smarts are mentioned by the Books of Sorrow to be fairly impressive, Xivu Arath is consistently shown to be simpler, easier to fool, and generally less intelligent than her siblings. Savathûn herself spoke, when disguised as Osiris, that her sister lacked a sense of creativity and ambitions of her own after observing that she was merely pushing through the cracks within the Dreaming City that the Witch Queen had left behind. However, it would gravely foolish to underestimate Xivu Arath for while she might not have her siblings’ subtlety, she could arguably be much more determined than either of her siblings, which just means that absolutely nothing will not stop her from reaching her goal, regardless of what she has to destroy to acquire it. Further, despite her lack of cunning, Xivu Arath is stated to be a master of siege warfare and an expert strategist, with her brood being considered far better organized and battle-hardened than even Oryx's forces. She can also be just as cruel as her siblings as she taunted Osiris after he lost his Light and that of Sagira's sacrifice, doing so once more towards Saint-14 on Titan. Xivu Arath also went as far as to mock the Cabal's way of life of constant warfare and expansionism, claiming that by waging war, they had been "worshipping" her all along as she laid waste to the Cabal's homeworld.

In essence, if compared to her siblings, one who worked out how to commune with the Darkness and master the power to Take, and the actual Hive god of cunning and trickery, Xivu Arath does come out looking less intelligent, but this by no means should be taken to mean that she is. The Season of the Seraph reveals exactly just how believing she is this alone is a gross mistake to make, as she manages to nearly make her enemies nearly destroy themselves by being unknowing pawns of her ritual through bloodshed that would open the Ascendant Realm and literally Take the entire Earth before they realized what she was trying to accomplish.
