Genshin Impact Xilonen abilities

Normal attack – Ehecatl’s Roar

Normal attack: Performs up to three rapid strikes.
Charged attack: Consumes a fixed amount of stamina and performs a forward kick.
Plunging attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE damage upon impact, both based on Xilonen’s defense.

Nightsoul’s Blessing: Blade Roller
When in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Xilonen will enter Blade Roller mode. While in this mode, Xilonen’s normal attacks allow her to perform up to four kicks using her roller blades, and she’s unable to use charged attacks. When she uses normal and plunging attacks in this mode, they switch to being based on her defense, and she deals Geo damage that cannot be overridden.

Elemental Skill – Yohual’s Scratch

Xilonen switches to high-speed combat blading gear and rushes forward a certain distance before dealing Nightsoul-aligned Geo damage based on her defense. After using this ability, Xilonen gains 45 Nightsoul points and enters Nightsoul’s Blessing state. In this state, she shifts to the Blade Roller mode.

Source Samples

Xilonen has three samplers with her that can generate different Soundscapes based on her party members’ elemental types, decreasing nearby enemies corresponding elemental resistance when activated.
The initial recorded source sample within each sampler will be Geo. For each party member with a different elemental type (Pyro, Hydro, Cyro, and Electro), one Geo sampler will change to that corresponding element.
When Xilonen is in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, the Geo source sample she carries remains active throughout. After unlocking her passive talent, Netotiliztli’s Echoes, Xilonen triggers the effects to regenerate Nightsoul points. When she reaches the maximum number of Nightsoul points, she consumes all her Nightsoul points and activates the three source samples she had on hand for 15 seconds.
When the source samples are active, nearby enemies corresponding elemental resistances decrease. Source sample effects of the same elemental type cannot stack. Xilonen can trigger these effects when off-field.

Nightsoul’s Blessing: Xilonen

Continuously consume Nightsoul points. When these points deplete or are used again, this Nightsoul Blessing state ends. The state has the following traits: switches to the Blade Roller mode which increases Xilonen’s movement speed and climbing speed, and she can perform high-speed leaps in Ocelot Form while climbing. Xilonen’s Nightsoul’s Blessing has the following restrictions: when in this state, Xilonen’s Nightsoul points have a nine-second time limit. After you exceed this limit, her Nightsoul points immediately deplete.
After Xilonen’s Nightsoul points have depleted while she is in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, she can no longer generate Nightsoul points via the passive talent, Netotiliztli’s Echoes.

Elemental Burst – Ocelotlicue Point!

Activates the Phlogiston Stereo Mixer at full power, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Geo damage based on Xilonen’s defense.

Xilonen triggers the following effects based on her different source samples:

If she has at least two source samples that have undergone elemental conversion, Xilonen plays an Ebullient rhythm, healing nearby active characters at intervals based on her defense.
If she has less than two source samples that have undergone elemental conversation, Xilonen starts up an Ardent rhythm, which plays two additional beats that deal Nightsoul-aligned AoE Geo damage based on her defense.

Night Realm’s Gift: Blessing of Forge-Fire: After her Nightsoul points are depleted, Xilonen switches to consuming Phlogiston to maintain her Nightsoul’s Blessing. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, she can use Nightsoul Transmission: Xilonen. When the active character is sprinting, climbing, in a movement mode caused by certain talents, or at a certain height in the air, the following triggers when switching to Xilonen: Xilonen enters the Nightsoul Blessing state and gains 20 Nightsoul points. In this situation, Xilonen’s Nightsoul points have a four-second time limit, after which her Nightsoul points are immediately depleted. After she uses Yohual’s Scratch within this time limit, her Nightsoul point time limit is extended by nine seconds. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every ten seconds by your team.
Netotiliztli’s Echoes: While in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, Xilonen’s normal and plunging attacks gain the following buffs based on her current source sample types:
- Should she have at least two source samples that have undergone elemental conversion: gain 35 Nightsoul points upon hitting an enemy. It can be triggered once every 0.1 seconds.

This effect is canceled after triggering six times or when the duration ends. When you hit more than one enemy, trigger counts are consumed based on the number of enemies hit. The counts for each party member with Blooming Blessing are counted independently.

Imperishable Night Carnival: When Xilonen is in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state, when she sprints, leaps, or uses normal or plunging attacks, she gains Imperishable Night’s Blessing, ignoring the limitations of her Nightsoul’s Blessing state and increasing the damage dealt by her normal and plunging attacks for five seconds. During this time, her Nightsoul’s Blessing time limit countdown is paused. Xilonen’s Nightsoul points, Phlogiston, and stamina will not decrease and when her Nightsoul points reach maximum, her Nightsoul’s Blessing state will not end either. Additionally, Xilonen deals 300% of her defense as increased normal and plunging attack damage while in the Nightsoul’s Blessing state. She gains one imperishable Night’s Blessing once every 15 seconds.
