Genshin Impact Previews New Geo Character Xilonen’s Kit And Skills - MMOs.com

Oct 15, 2024

Genshin Impact is gearing up to release its latest five-star Geo support character, Xilonen, in Version 5.1: The Rainbow Destined to Burn, when it drops on October 9. This fiery roller-blading warrior brings some serious flexibility to the table, making her a strong contender for any team in need of a boost.

Xilonen, a sword-wielding, nightsoul-blessing bearer from the volcanic region of Natlan, has a unique kit designed to deal damage while also lowering multi-elemental resistance (RES). According to HoYoverse, she’s all about making sure your enemies feel the heat (literally and figuratively). Her Normal Attacks are a little unconventional, featuring only three hits before she swaps her sword for some roller kicks that scale with her DEF stat.

Her Elemental Skill, Yuhual’s Scratch, is where things get interesting. With it, Xilonen rushes forward to deal Nightsoul-aligned Geo damage, reducing elemental RES based on her team’s composition. She’s not just a damage-dealer though—her rollerblade state allows her to zip up mountains with ease, giving overworld exploration a fun new twist.

Her Elemental Burst, Oceloticue Point, unleashes a massive area-of-effect Geo attack, scaling with her DEF. If she’s built up enough Elemental Source Samples, she can heal nearby teammates as well, making her a versatile option for both support and sub-DPS roles.

Fans are already buzzing about Xilonen’s potential. With the ability to reduce RES and offer healing, she’s shaping up to be the game’s most adaptable Geo character to date.
