After the constant fighting with authorities in Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine in Genshin Impact, players finally circle back to working with the nation to solve a certain crisis. When Natlan was first announced, HoYoverse teased several characters that are set to be 5-star units. This includes Mualani, Kinich, Xilonen, Chasca, Citlali, and Iansan. After Mualani and Kinich debuted in version 5.0, it's now Xilonen's turn in 5.1.

According to the drip marketing, it looks like Genshin 5.2 won't bring the Pyro Archon, Mavuika, but will instead feature Chasca. This means Travelers must wait longer to bring a new Archon into their team. But for now, players can enjoy the assistance of Xilonen, whom they can pull for on the day of Genshin Impact 5.1 release date, right after the maintenance ends.
