According to leaks from Hakush.in, Genshin Impact's version 5.1 will introduce Xilonen as a new 5-star character and she will be featured alongside Chiori, Nahida, and Hu Tao.

While Xilonen is expected to be a strong support character from the Geo element, Chiori is a decent 5-star sub-DPS from the same element. The Dendro Archon, Nahida, is another sub-DPS featured in version 5.1 and she is a top-tier unit that deals consistent off-field damage.

On the other hand, Hu Tao is a capable main DPS from the Pyro element. Since her debut in version 1.3, she has remained a strong carry in the game's meta.
