Developer HoYoverse held the special livestream program for the upcoming Genshin Impact Version 5.1: The Rainbow Destined to Burn. The second patch of Natlan comes with a lot of exciting content, from a new character, weapons, and enemies, to the continuation of the Archon quest, events, and more!
Before we dive into everything the version has to offer, make sure to activate the redemption codes for extra x300 Primogem. Act fast, they are active only for a limited period of time.
“What is meant by offering kindling is the act of offering up a sacrifice before one obtains something.”
Before setting foot on the battlefield, people often say “victory at all costs.” And when the stakes are laid out, there will always be those who have to make the hardest of choices.
Version 5.1: The Rainbow Destined to Burn arrives on October 9. The main storyline will take Travelers to a newly unveiled region, where they will meet Xilonen, the master forger of Natlan. Meanwhile, Sumeru will celebrate the return of the Sabzeruz Festival, filled with joy, festivities, and a special birthday surprise for Nahida.
During the previous part of the Archon Quest, the Travelers have learned that Natlan is in need of urgent help, being threatened by the influence of the Abyss. The Pyro Archon, Mavuika, has a plan that includes forging an Ancient Name for the Traveler, and that is where the new limited 5-star Geo Sword character Xilonen comes in.
Additionally, players will encounter other new faces: Citlali and Ororon, hailing from the Masters of the Night-Wind tribe.
Have you already decided who gets your Primogems? Completing the two new acts of the Archon Quest in 5.1 will award an additional 500 Primogems. Meanwhile, completing specific World Quests and exploring Natlan can give up to 400 Primogems as well.
Genshin Impact – Version 5.1 Banners Feature:
- Phase 1: Xilonen (5-star Geo Sword) & Chiori (5-star Geo Sword);
- Phase 2: Nahida (5-star Dendro Catalyst) & Hu Tao (5-star Pyro Polearm).
Xilonen demonstrates versatile support skills by reducing enemies’ Elemental RES or healing her teammates, thanks to her unique combat equipment: Samplers. All three Samplers initially record Geo Source Samples, which Xilonen can instantly activate using her Elemental Skill to reduce enemies’ Geo Elemental RES while enhancing her Normal and Plunging Attack DMG.
When she teams up with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro characters, the Source Samples will undergo Elemental Conversion and change colors, but they can only be activated after maxing out her Nightsoul Points through Normal Attacks, allowing her to reduce the corresponding Elemental RES of enemies. If at least two Source Samples change color, Xilonen can activate them more rapidly, shifting her Elemental Burst from dealing Geo AoE DMG to healing nearby active teammates. Additionally, she can help the team regain a certain amount of Phlogiston by triggering a Nightsoul Transmission.
Stay tuned for the entire lineup of the 4-stars and weapons! The 5-star characters will be accompanied by their signature weapons running on the weapon banner at the same time.
