Genshin Impact's 5.1 character, Xilonen, has been revealed by the latest drip marketing, and she seems quite strong and feisty based on her looks.
HoYoverse has finally revealed the new character that will be coming in Genshin Impact Version 5.1. The character's name is Xilonen, and she has been officially revealed through the game’s famous "drip marketing" posts. If you're wondering who Xilonen is and what she brings to the game, here’s all you need to know in easy words.
Who is Xilonen in Genshin Impact?
Xilonen is a new character from a place called Natlan. She is a Geo character, which means her powers are linked to the earth element. Many fans were excited about her since they first got hints from the game’s “Ignition Teaser.”
In the game, Xilonen is known as the "Nanatzcayan Smith," a master blacksmith who is famous across Natlan for her incredible forging skills. She’s so focused on her work that she doesn’t pay much attention to anything else. Even the Pyro Archon, Mavuika, who is a big deal in the game, seems to rely on her skills. Mavuika even mentions Xilonen in a funny way, showing how serious Xilonen is about her craft.

Leaks on Genshin Impact Xilonen Abilities
Xilonen is expected to be a 5-star character, which is very rare and strong in Genshin Impact. Some leaks say she might use a sword, but it's not confirmed yet.
What makes Xilonen special is her ability to help her team. She is said to be a "universal support" for Geo characters, which means she can fit into different teams and make them better. One of her skills might let her turn into a jaguar, similar to another character named Kirara. This change could help her climb cliffs, which would be super handy for exploring the game’s big open world.
But, players will still have to wait for the Genshin Impact 5.1 Livestream to know the full details.
Genshin Impact Xilonen Release Date
Xilonen will be available in Genshin Impact from October 9, 2024, when Version 5.1 starts. Players can try to get her by pulling on her Event Wish banner. This is a feature where you spend in-game currency to unlock new characters. But, it’s still not clear if her banner will be in the first half or second half of the update.
If you’re thinking of adding Xilonen to your team, you should start saving up your in-game currency, called Primogems, to make sure you can get her when she comes out.
Genshin Impact Xilonen’s Voice Actors
For those who like voice acting in Genshin Impact, you’ll be happy to know that some famous voice actors will bring Xilonen to life.
In the English version, Beth Curry will voice her. She’s known for roles in other games like Zenless Zone Zero and TV shows like "Superstore" and "GLOW." In the Japanese version, Xilonen will be voiced by Ai Fairouz, who is famous for playing Jolyne Cujoh in "JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure" and Power in "Chainsaw Man."
Well, the good news is that Xilonen isn’t the only new character from Natlan. Before her, three other Natlan characters were added in Version 5.0: Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich. Each of them brought something special to the game, and Xilonen is expected to do the same.
Now, looking ahead, we have a lot more characters coming from Natlan in future updates of Genshin Impact, like Chasca in Version 5.2 and Mavuika in Version 5.3. So, players have a lot to look forward to.
