Based on the trailer’s information, Xilonen is confirmed to be a Geo female unit similar to Navia. However, leakers recently revealed information surrounding her kit through the Genshin Impact 5.0 beta version.

If you are interested in Xilonen and want to learn about her beforehand, we have you covered.
