Okay, folks, buckle up because Genshin Impact is about to drop a bombshell in version 5.1, and it’s got everyone buzzing. Thanks to some spicy leaks, we’ve got a sneak peek at a brand-new character: Xilonen, a 5-star Geo sword user from Natlan! And let me tell you, she’s shaping up to be a complete game-changer. If you thought characters like Kazuha or Furina were top-tier, just wait until you see what Xilonen brings to the table.

Are the leaks true? Is she really that OP? Well, let’s dive into it and figure out why everyone’s so hyped about her kit. Spoiler alert: if you’re a Geo main, you’re going to LOVE her.

Meet Xilonen: A Support Powerhouse

First off, Xilonen isn’t just another Geo character who hides behind shields and watches the fight from the sidelines. Nope. She’s all about DEF-scaling abilities and team buffs, making her the ultimate support hybrid who can both dish out damage and boost your squad.

Here’s the basic rundown:

  • Rarity: 5-Star
  • Vision: Geo
  • Weapon: Sword (but trust me, that’s not the most exciting part)
  • Base Stats at Level 90:
    • HP: 12,405
    • ATK: 275
    • DEF: 930
    • Progression Bonus: +36% DEF (Yeah, she’s beefy!)

So, what’s with all the DEF, you ask? Well, Xilonen uses it to crank up her damage AND protect her teammates. She’s like the perfect blend of an offense-defense character—kind of like if Zhongli and Bennett had a baby (weird thought, but stay with me).

Elemental Skill: Yohual’s Scratch (Let’s Talk Rollerblades)

Now, here’s where things get wild. Xilonen’s Elemental Skill, called Yohual’s Scratch, doesn’t just throw some generic Geo damage around. No, she straight-up switches into Blade Roller mode—yes, she fights on rollerblades! I don’t know who thought of this, but it’s genius.

In Blade Roller mode, she swaps out her sword and zooms around, dealing AoE Geo DMG like nobody’s business. And guess what? Her attacks scale off of her DEF, which makes all that defense she’s packing suddenly feel like a whole lot of offense. Plus, she has these things called Samplers that lower enemies’ elemental resistances based on your party comp. So, if you’re running a Pyro, Hydro, or Electro squad, you’re in for a treat because she’s going to shred through your enemies’ defenses.

Elemental Burst: Ocelotlicue Point! (Yes, it’s a Mouthful)

Alright, so here’s where things get interesting. Xilonen’s burst, Ocelotlicue Point!, is all about flexibility. Depending on how many Source Samples you’ve gathered from her skill, her burst can either heal your team or unleash a ton of Geo DMG.

If you’ve gathered at least two samples, you get a nice heal-over-time effect based on her DEF. If not, she just wrecks enemies with some hard-hitting Geo damage beats. Either way, this burst makes her the ultimate jack-of-all-trades—need healing? She’s got you. Want to clear a mob? No problem.

Passive Talents: Keep the Buffs Rolling

Xilonen’s got some pretty sweet passive talents that make her even more fun to play. Here’s a quick look:

  1. Netotiliztli’s Echoes: While in Blade Roller mode, every hit on an enemy extends the duration of her speedy rollerblade attacks. So, the more you hit, the longer you stay in that mode. It’s like playing a minigame within the game!
  2. Portable Armored Sheath: This talent triggers either healing or extra damage every few seconds when you’ve maxed out her Nightsoul points (basically, think of it like a cooldown reduction talent that just keeps giving).

Constellations: Should You Pull for Them?

Alright, so we all know constellations can make or break a character. And Xilonen’s constellations? They look ridiculously OP. Here are a couple that really stand out from the leaks:

  • C1: Sabbatical Phrase: This one makes her Blade Roller mode last longer and burn less of her Nightsoul points. Basically, more time for her to zip around, causing chaos. Sounds fun, right?
  • C2: Chiucue Mix: This constellation ensures that her elemental resistance debuff stays active for your whole team, plus it gives massive buffs to characters depending on their element. Pyro? You get an ATK boost. Cryo? CRIT DMG increase. Electro? Faster cooldowns. Talk about making her the ultimate support!
  • C6: Imperishable Night Carnival: Want her to go full DPS? This final constellation is where it’s at. She gains a 300% DEF bonus for her attacks, basically turning her into a bulldozer on wheels. Trust me, if you reach C6, your Xilonen’s going to be unstoppable.

Xilonen’s Signature Weapon: Peak Patrol Song

What’s a 5-star character without a shiny new weapon? Xilonen’s signature sword, Peak Patrol Song, was also leaked, and it’s looking pretty amazing. It’s a DEF-scaling sword (shocker, I know) with a base ATK of 542 and a DEF bonus that goes up to 82.7%. On top of that, the sword gives out a massive Elemental DMG bonus to your team every time Xilonen lands a hit. When fully stacked, this bonus can hit 72%, making it one of the best support weapons we’ve seen in a while.

Final Thoughts: Should You Pull for Xilonen?

So, is Xilonen worth all this hype? Based on these leaks, it looks like a resounding YES. She’s got everything—a cool rollerblade combat style, DEF-scaling attacks, team-wide buffs, and even the ability to heal in a pinch. If you’re a fan of characters who can do it all, Xilonen might be your new favorite.

But, hey, we’re still waiting for official confirmation, so don’t go spending all your primogems just yet. Let’s keep an eye out for more leaks and info as we get closer to Genshin Impact 5.1.

So, what do you think about Xilonen’s leaked kit? Are you as excited as I am to see her in action? Let’s chat in the comments!
