Genshin Impact Leaks: Citlali's abilities and role explained

Citlali passive talent from anon on QQ byu/Live-Introduction443 inGenshin_Impact_Leaks

During the Archon Quest of version 5.1, players were able to see that Citlal in Genshin Impact was carrying a Cryo vision, which implies that she will be a Cryo unit when she gets released as a playable character.

Keeping that in mind, the above leak suggests that her Passive Talent will reduce the Pyro and Hydro resistance of enemies affected by Freeze or Melt reactions triggered by nearby party members when Citlali enters the Night Soul state. This buff can be a great boost for many Melt and Freeze reaction-based teams that have recently taken a backseat due to fewer support units dedicated to aiding these reactions.

Furthermore, her passive will supposedly restore a certain amount of Nightsoul energy every few seconds upon triggering the abovementioned reactions. This energy-restoration mechanic could provide consistent uptime for her abilities, solidifying her role as a crucial support for reaction-based teams.

A recent leak, originally shared by Questionmark Chan, and further made public by HXG Diluc provides additional information on Citlali's constellations, giving a clearer picture of her potential role in Genshin Impact.

These leaks suggest that her constellations will further reduce the enemy's resistance to certain elements (probably Hydro and Pyro), and provide additional damage bonuses while also increasing the Elemental Mastery of your characters. All these buffs combined will ensure maximum damage output for many reaction-based teams, especially the ones based on Melt and Freeze reactions.

According to the leaks on Citlali's potential release and her skills, players can expect her to be released in the 5.3 update of Genshin Impact, which is scheduled to go live on January 1, 2025. She is speculated to be a 5-star Catalyst-using character, and based on the numerous leaks around her potential kit and abilities, she will be released as a Cryo support/sub-DPS for reaction-based teams, mainly focusing on Melt and Freeze reactions.
