News Genshin Impact's Rollerblading Waifu Will Bankrupt Whales on PS5, PS4

Genshin Impact's character designs are always on point, but they don't really get much cooler than Natlan newcomer Xilonen – a musical master forger with rollerblades. Like many of her regional counterparts, there's a big emphasis on traversal with this character, and she can use her wheeled shoes to skate up cliff-faces, reducing the emphasis on stamina draining climbing.

She's also got a pretty interesting kit. Effectively, pairing her with different partners will enable her to reduce the elemental resistance of her opponents. So, for example, if you have a Hydro member in your party, then using them in conjunction with Xilonen will enable you to reduce the Hydo resistance of your foe. This is consistent across all elements.

​

If you pair her with three other Geo characters, then she'll also buff normal and plunging attack damage, which is pretty cool. And she's capable of restoring Phlogiston and triggering Geo damage of her own. As with all Genshin Impact characters these days, you need a doctorate to truly understand the extent of her combat capabilities, but she looks pretty fun to use.

​

She'll debut as part of v5.1, which will also continue Natlan's storyline. Meanwhile, the main event will take you back to Sumeru, where you'll need to help organise a birthday celebration for regional Archon, Nahida. This will involve all sorts of activities and minigames, including one where you need to escort a carriage by switching between lanes.

Elsewhere, the update will also incorporate some pretty major gameplay improvements, including the ability to skip some of the Spiral Abyss depending on your progress in previous updates, and better crafting and Relic filtering features. HoYoverse says more smaller updates will be announced closer to the update's release, which is scheduled for 9th October.
