All Xilonen skills in Genshin Impact

Xilonen uses a unique set of tools known as “Samplers” in her battles. These Samplers, meticulously crafted by Xilonen herself, are initially attuned to the Geo element. However, their elemental alignment shifts as you introduce Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro characters to your party.

By activating one of her Samplers, Xilonen can significantly weaken nearby enemies’ resistance to damage, tailoring the reduction to the element currently aligned with the activated Sampler.

Even when Xilonen is not actively on the battlefield, the Samplers’ influence persists near active characters, effectively creating a “portable” zone of elemental vulnerability.

XILONEN SKILLSDESCRIPTION
Normal Attack: Ehecatl’s RoarNormal attack
Performs up to three rapid strikes.

Charged attack
Consumes a fixed amount of Stamina and performs a forward kick.
Nighsoul’s Blessing: Blade RollerWhen in the Nightsoul Blessing’s state, Xilonen’s Normal Attacks will allow her to perform up to four kicks using her roller blades, and she will be unable to use Charged Attacks.

When her Normal and Plunging Attacks are used in this mode, they will switch to being based on her def, and she will deal Nightsoul-aligned Geo damage that cannot be overridden.

Source samples: Resistance reduction
Xilonen has three Samplers which are Geo by default. For each party member who is Pyro/Hydro/Cryo/Electro, one Sampler will change to that corresponding element.

When the Samplers are activated, they will decrease the corresponding elemental resistance of nearby opponents based on the elemental types of your party members, with a maximum reduction of 36% at C0.

When Xilonen is in the Nightsoul Blessing’s state, the Geo Sampler(s) she carries will remain active throughout and continuously provide Geo resistance reduction effect.
Elemental burst: Ocelotlicue Point!Deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Geo damage based on Xilonen’s def.

Healing
If she has at least two Source Samples that have had their elemental types changed, Xilonen will heal nearby active characters at intervals.
