Highlights:
* According to the Genshin Impact 5.1 leaks, Xilonen can tap into ‘Nightsouls’ state and improve her speed momentarily.
* In a most interesting mechanic, Xilonen is rumored to buff teammates based on their Element.
Xilonen is a female Geo character who has been heavily rumored to appear in the Genshin Impact 5.1 banners. Leaks about her Genshin inclusion preceded the 4.7 update. She made her first brief yet notable appearance in the ‘Ignition Teaser: A Name Forged in Flames,’ featuring alongside other characters slated to appear in the Natlan update. While Xilonen is expected to headline the 5.1 banners, Kinich and Mualani are the Natlan-based characters rumored for the 5.0 banners.
Genshin Impact Xilonen Leaked Kit — A Strong Geo Support
HomeDGCat, a renowned and reliable leaker in the Genshin Impact community, posted the Xilonen Test kit on Reddit on July 24, 2024. It disclosed most of the skills of the upcoming Geo character but didn’t go much into the details. Xilonen will be a Sword user with decent Support and Attack options.
Note: The skills mentioned in the Test kits don’t always faithfully transition to the character’s kits after their global version debut. HoYoverse could buff, nerf, or remove some of the skills.
Passive Talent
After noting the Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo characters in the team, and the number of Geo and non-Geo characters, Xilonen provides buff to her teammates.
Normal Attack
Genshin Impact Xilonen performs five strikes in quick succession.
Charged Attack
Xilonen consumes Stamina and deals two rapid sword strikes on the enemy. After a successful hit, the enemy will lose gravity and hover for 6 seconds. It is an astonishing skill through and through.
Elemental Skill
After activating the Skill, Genshin Impact Xilonen enters the Nightsoul’s Blessing state and transforms into a Leopard Spirit. Her speed is boosted during this state. Nightsoul has an initial CD of 6 seconds.
Interestingly, if Xilonen hits an enemy, she will 2 seconds to the cooldown. The maximum cooldown limit is 12 seconds after which she will exit Nightsoul and enter an Enhanced State for 2 seconds.
Elemental Skill Jewelry Special Effects
While in the Nightsoul form, Xilonen’s jewels will reflect the colors of the Elements of her teammates. The sequence pointed out by HomeDGCat is Pyro, then Electro, then Hydro, then Cryo, and the vacancies will be filled by Geo. Stunningly beautiful!
Elemental Burst
Xilonen unleashes her Leopard Spirit onto the field and the spirit lasts 9.3 seconds. It is attached to the active character, providing buffs according to the number of different Elemental characters in the team.
As adventurers may have witnessed in other Genshin Impact 5.1 leaks, Xilonen can transform herself into a leopard in Nightsoul’s Blessing state and move faster than other characters on the map. Moreover, her ability isn’t limited to Natlan, like the Saurian transformations for Genshin Impact 5.0.
One of Xilonen’s Constellations provides variable buffs to teammates depending on their Element. More on that below.
Genshin Impact 5.1 Leaks: Xilonen Constellations
Succeeding the Genshin Impact 5.1 leaks on Xilonen’s test kit, reliable leaker Foul disclosed the Constellations of Xilonen. They added that when the Geo character enters Nightsoul state, she reduces the Resistance% of the Jewel’s Element and Geo Resistance. When she leaves the state, she creates a ‘Resistance halo.’
That said, here are the leaked constellations for Genshin Impact Xilonen:-
- C1: Reduces Nightsouls form consumption.
- C2: Provides different buffs to teammates. According to the latest leak, Xilonen provides a 30% ATK boost to Pyro, 40% HP to Hydro, 20% Crit Rate to Cryo, and 60% Defense to Geo.
- C4: After deactivating the Nightsouls form, the halo that exists will transform teammates’ attack and charge attack to Def% increase for Xilonen.
- C6: Provides an extra % increase for all types of attacks.
The ‘mature Geo character’ mentioned by a previous Genshin Impact leak was referring to Xilonen. Her ability to buff and debuff opponents is incredible, and hopefully, there won’t be any nerfs to her kit in the future.
