Open-world RPG Genshin Impact kicked off the latest update 5.1: The Rainbow Destined to Burn, introducing the new Archon quest, 5-star Geo Sword Xilonen, and more! The developers also provided a sneak peek at characters joining the roster in V5.2: Chasca & Ororen.
During the previous part of the Archon Quest, the Travelers have learned that Natlan is in need of urgent help, being threatened by the influence of the Abyss. The Pyro Archon, Mavuika, has a plan that includes forging an Ancient Name for the Traveler, and that is where the new limited 5-star Geo Sword character Xilonen comes in.
Xilonen herself is a versatile support who can reduce enemies Elemental RES or heal her teammates, thanks to her unique combat equipment: Samplers. Alternatively, she can serve as your main Geo DPS, depending on your party’s composition and the amount of Elements present. Additionally, she can help the team regain a certain amount of Phlogiston by triggering a Nightsoul Transmission.
