Genshin Impact 5.1 Banners Leaked: Xilonen & Chiori To Kick Off The New Update
The Geo Element roster has been bolstered after the release of Natlan. Despite being a 4-star unit, Kachina is a useful support character in Genshin Impact. Xilonen shall be the next entry to the list. Interestingly, the upcoming banners will feature characters of a variety of elements, starting with Geo and then moving on to Dendro and Pyro.
According to the Genshin Impact 5.1 banners leak, the first phase will feature Xilonen and Chiori. The latter is a Geo-Sword user with decent damage-dealing skills. The second phase of Version 5.1 will feature Nahida and Hu Tao. While Nahida is a Dendro Catalyst, Hu Tao is a Pyro Polearm user who hasn’t had a rerun since November 2023. Earlier, Wriothesley and Shenhe were speculated to return in the 5.1 banners.
The latest leak, tagged as reliable, is courtesy of Reddit user ukrisreng. Xilonen is going to be one of the most important support characters because she can supposedly provide elemental resistance buffs and also heal specific teammates.
Genshin Impact 5.1 is scheduled for release on October 9. While Phase 1 will begin on the same day with Xilonen and Chiori, Phase 2 is expected to roll out on October 30. After the version ends, 5.2 will bring new 5-star characters in the form of Chasca and Ororon. Players will get more information about the latter, who appeared in the Ignition Teaser, and has been a source of speculation ever since.
During the initial beta phase, Genshin Impact 5.1 leaks revealed Xilonen’s kit. She is allegedly going to be a Geo-Sword character with an impressive set of constellations.
