Summary
AGenshin Impactleak has revealed more information about an upcoming character named Xilonen. This character has already been teased inGenshin Impact’s video featuring many notable playable units from the upcoming Natlan region.
With the release of a new major region inGenshin Impact, players are eager to see a wealth of new content, including playable characters, weapons, storylines, and, most importantly, a chance to explore the Pyro nation. So far, several popular characters have been officially announced, including a new Geo user, Xilonen.
With every new five-star character release, developer HoYoverse typically adds a new weapon of the same rarity that perfectly complements the character’s playstyle. A credibleGenshin Impactleaker known as Foul hasrevealedsome additional information about Xilonen’s signature weapon, which might hint at her overall playstyle and role within aGenshin Impactteam. According to the leak, the weapon will scale with Defense, which is not surprising since Xilonen is confirmed to be a newGeo user inGenshin Impact. The weapon will also provide a wide range of buffs to the entire team, suggesting that Xilonen could be a new five-star support character.
Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Xilonen’s Signature Weapon Stats and Release Date
The fact that Foul mentioned the weapon’s release date adds credibility to previous leaks claiming that Xilonen will be released inGenshin ImpactVersion 5.1. Based on HoYoverse’s usual update schedule, Version 5.1 should drop around mid-October. The only confirmed detail about her release date is that she will not appear in the upcoming Version 5.0, as HoYoverse’s recent Special Program event confirmed that Version 5.0 will feature Mualani, Kazuha, Kinich, and Raiden Shogun as the five-star banner characters.
As for Xilonen’s kit,previousGenshin Impactleakssuggest that her Elemental Burst will allow her to enter a special state that provides buffs to the active character based on the number of Electro, Pyro, Cryo, and Hydro units on the team. This could indicate thatGenshin Impactmay be changing its approach to designing Geo characters.
Typically, playable units with this Vision benefit more when they are in a party with otherGenshin Impactcharacters with similar Geo elemental powers. According to some fans, having a Geo user who is more flexible and able to adapt to various team compositions might not completely bring this element back to the meta, but it would be a step in the right direction.
