Xilonen is one of the newest characters, first seen in the Natlan Teaser in Genshin Impact. Here is what we know so far about Xilonen’s kit, skills, Talents, Constellations, and more.

Who are the Xilonen voice actors in Genshin Impact?

Xilonen Kit

In Genshin Impact, Xilonen is a 5-star Geo Sword character. She is the third of this archetype, following Albedo and Chiori. Like Kachina, she scales off of DEF. Unlike Kachina, however, she serves more as an off-field support or sub-DPS. Her first appearance was theNatlan “Ignition Teaser"and has been mentioned in version 5.0, but she is yet to appear even as an NPC.

Note that the details of Xilonen’s kit, constellations, and talents below did not come from official Genshin Impact or HoYoverse sources, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Xilonen Combat Skills

Xilonen’s gameplay revolves around her Elemental Skill. As with the rest of the Natlan cast, her Skill has the Nightsoul mechanic.

Normal Attack: Ehecatl’s Roar

Xilonen attacks with her sword a few times, standard for Sword users.

Her Plunging Attack is also the standard, however the damage scales off of DEF instead of her ATK. Her Charged Attack is unique: instead of attacking with her sword, she does a kick while moving backward.

When Xilonen is in her Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Xilonen’s attacks will instead deal Geo DMG based on her DEF. This infusion cannot be overridden, and she cannot perform Charged Attacks while in this state.

Elemental Skill: Yohual’s Scratch

Using Xilonen’s Elemental Skill will make her enter Blade Roller mode and rush forward before dealing Nightsoul-aligned Geo DMG. She will then gain Nightsoul Points and enter the Nightshoul’s Blessing State.

While in this state, Xilonen will receive three Samplers, lowering nearby enemies' Elemental RES. These Samplers lower the Geo RES of nearby enemies by default. However, the Source Samples inside of the Samplers can change elements based on the party members, changing the Elemental RES they lower.

While in the Nightsoul’s Blessing State, Xilonen’s movement SPD and climbing speed will increase. Additionally, she can enter Ocelot Form and do fast leaps while climbing. Xilonen’s Nightsoul’s Blessing state will immediately end after 9 seconds.

Elemental Burst: Ocelotlicue Point!

Xilonen deals AoE Geo DMG based on her DEF to nearby enemies. Additional effects will activate based on Xilonen’s Samplers

Xilonen Passive Talents

She has three passives in total, all playing around her Elemental Skill.

This passive talent has multiple aspects:

Netotiliztli’s Echoes

While in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, her Normal and Plunging attacks will be empowered based on her Source Samples:

Portable Armored Sheath

If Xilonen’s Nightsoul Points reach the maximum amount while in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, she will activate an effect similar to her Nightsoul Burst. Additionally, her DEF will increase when her party members activate a Nightsoul Burst.
