Kit and Abilities: A Support Focus
Thanks to leaks from HomDGCat, we have a clearer picture of Xilonen’s gameplay style. As a Geo Sword user, she appears to have a unique and versatile kit.
- Normal and Charged Attacks: Xilonen’s basic attacks consist of a rapid series of sword strikes, while her charged attack delivers two quick strikes at the cost of stamina. Interestingly, hitting an opponent with her charged attack is said to reduce the target’s gravity, hinting at a potentially interesting mechanic.
- Elemental Skill: Xilonen transforms into a Leopard spirit, granting her increased movement speed. This state is temporary and can be ended prematurely. Additionally, there’s a countdown mechanic that, when reaching a certain threshold, triggers an enhanced state.
- Elemental Skill (Jewelry FX): This variant of the Elemental Skill seems to be tied to party composition. Xilonen’s jewels light up based on the elements of her teammates, and she can reduce enemy elemental resistance accordingly.
- Elemental Burst: Summoning a Leopard spirit to the battlefield, Xilonen provides various buffs to the active character depending on the elemental composition of the party.
- Passive Skill: Xilonen’s passive skill appears to be linked to party composition, offering different buffs based on the number of elements present.
Based on these leaks, Xilonen seems to be designed as a support character with the ability to enhance various team compositions beyond just Geo-focused setups. Her kit suggests a dynamic and strategic playstyle that could make her a valuable addition to any player’s roster.
While these details are subject to change, they offer an exciting preview of what Xilonen might bring to Genshin Impact. As we approach the release of version 5.1, we can expect more information to emerge, so stay tuned for further updates
