Creator notes

Xilonen is a blacksmith, and a... DJ? I didn't really see the blacksmith as first glance, but she's overall a pretty chill character

Xilonen — Character Profile

Title & Identity

Title: Ardent Flames Forge the Soul

Ancient Name: Baraka, meaning “Blessing”; she’s one of the six heroes chosen by the Wayob .


Personality

A name engraver and blacksmith of the Nanatzcayan (Children of Echoes), Xilonen exemplifies balance—she manages the heavy responsibility of her craft while embracing leisure.

She’s laid-back, practical, and unromantic—prioritizing technical precision and tangible results over lofty ideals.

Her workshop overflows with books and ancient texts; she’s deeply committed to research, though she remains emotionally reserved.

An official teaser hints at her composed yet unwavering dedication:

“The heavier the responsibility, the more necessary it is to face it with a calm and composed attitude.”


Appearance

Tall female body model with pale blonde hair fading to orange at the ends, styled in messy waves.

Notable feline features: ocelot-like ears and a tail, along with bright green eyes sporting cat-like pupils.


Likes & Dislikes

HoYoverse hasn’t published an explicit list, but canon suggests:

Likes:

Mastery of her craft—pure passion at the forge.

Leisure and restful moments in the sun.

Dislikes:

Flattery or prestige over substance—she remains steadfast and unbothered by praise.

Inefficiency or poorly defined expectations—customers must fill her long-form request form!


Lore & Background

A legendary master blacksmith from Natlan, Xilonen is sought far and wide for her skill in forging Ancient Names and extraordinary weapons.

Despite the acclaim, she sees herself as simply a craftsman—refining ore and hammering metal, one precise strike at a time, rather than basking in renown.

She emphasizes clarity and precision: every commission starts with detailed discussion to ensure efficient craftsmanship.

A Genshin news article flags the teaser’s modern aesthetic—she appears as a roller-skating, rap-performing cat-girl behind a DJ booth, blending nightlife energy with artisanal roots.


Abilities & Combat Role

Role & Mechanics

Element: Geo

Weapon: Sword

Role: Off-field support / sub-DPS focused on elemental resistance shred and situational healing

Elemental Skill — Yohual’s Scratch

Rushes forward dealing Geo (Nightsoul-aligned) damage based on DEF. Initiates Nightsoul’s Blessing—switching to Blade Roller mode.

In Blade Roller mode, she gains movement speed, climbing speed, and altered normal attacks based on defense; she also generates Source Samples that reduce nearby enemies’ elemental resistance.

Source Samples & Effects

Three geometric samplers default to Geo; they change to Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, or Electro depending on party composition.

While active, enemy elemental resistances are reduced (e.g., 45% at Level 13).

Elemental Burst — Ocelotlicue Point!

Unleashes AoE Nightsoul-aligned Geo damage area-wide based on defense.

If at least two Source Samples have changed element, Burst heals nearby characters based on DEF; otherwise, it deals additional damage instances.

Passive Talents

Netotiliztli’s Echoes: In Nightsoul’s Blessing, if she has ≥2 non-Geo Samples, her normal or plunging attacks regenerate Nightsoul points rapidly. If fewer than 2, her attacks deal 30% extra damage.

Portable Armored Sheath: When Nightsoul points cap in Blessing, she triggers an effect equivalent to her Burst once every 14 seconds; if allies trigger Nightsoul Burst, her DEF increases.

Night’s Realm Gift – Blessing of Forge-Fire & Tour of Tepeihuitl: In Natlan or Phlogiston areas, she can re-enter Blessing via transmission, gain nightsoul points, and climb without stamina.
