- Xilonen is a 5-star Geo Sword character from Natlan, specializing in DEF-scaling damage, elemental resistance shredding, and team-wide buffs
- Venti is a 5-star Anemo Bow character in Genshin Impact, specializing in crowd control (CC), energy regeneration, and Swirl reactions
- It's better to go for Xilonen as she's currently the best support in the game!
Genshin Impact Version 5.5 Phase 2 banners will go live from the 17th of April, 2025, till the 6th of May, 2025. The Version 5.5 Phase 2 banners will feature two re-run 5-star characters in a dual banner.

- Venti (5* Anemo/Bow)
- Faruzan (4* Anemo/Catalyst)
- Beidou (4* Electro/Claymore)
- Yanfei (4* Pyro/Catalyst)
Venti is a 5-star Anemo Bow character, specializing in crowd control, energy regeneration, and Swirl reactions. His kit makes him one of the best supports for AoE scenarios.
- Best Crowd Control – His Burst trivializes fights against small/medium enemies.
- Energy Battery – Helps the team spam their Bursts more often.
- Swirl Enabler – Works amazingly in Freeze, Electro-Charged, and Melt/Vaporize teams.
- Low Investment – Doesn’t need high talent levels to be effective (focus on Burst).
- Exploration King – His Skill helps reach high places, and passives reduce stamina costs.
Genshin Impact Version 5.4 Phase 2 Second character banner: Forgefire’s Blessing
- Xilonen (5* Geo/Sword)
- Faruzan (4* Anemo/Catalyst)
- Beidou (4* Electro/Claymore)
- Yanfei (4* Pyro/Catalyst)
Xilonen is a 5-star Geo Sword character, specializing in DEF-scaling damage, elemental resistance shredding, and team-wide buffs through her unique Nightsoul mechanic. She excels as a hybrid DPS/support, offering mobility, Geo infusion, and party-wide utility based on team composition.
- Flexible Role – Works as DPS, support, or hybrid due to DEF scaling.
- Elemental RES Shred – Samplers weaken enemies for team DPS.
- Team Buffs – C2 provides massive party-wide buffs based on elements.
- Healing Utility – Burst can heal if team has ≥2 elemental Samplers.
- Exploration Boost – Faster movement, no-climb stamina drain in Natlan.
- Geo Infusion – Cannot be overridden, making her reliable in reactions.

Why you should go for Venti or Xilonen in Genshin Impact Version 5.5
If you value crowd control, energy regeneration, and Anemo support, Venti remains one of the best choices in the game. His Elemental Burst groups enemies effortlessly, trivializing fights in AoE scenarios, while his Swirl reactions amplify team damage. Venti excels in Freeze, Taser, and reaction-based teams, making him a staple for Spiral Abyss and open-world content.
He provides consistent energy refunds for the team, reducing reliance on high Energy Recharge builds. However, his effectiveness drops against heavy or boss enemies that resist crowd control. Compared to other Anemo supports like Kazuha or Sucrose, Venti specializes in AoE grouping rather than direct damage buffing, making him ideal for players who prioritize mob control over raw damage amplification.
On the other hand, Xilonen is a Geo Sword user with a hybrid DPS/support playstyle, scaling off DEF while offering elemental resistance shred, team buffs, and healing. Her Nightsoul mechanic enhances mobility and adapts to team compositions, making her a versatile pick for both Geo and mixed-element teams.
She shines in mono-Geo teams (e.g., with Itto or Albedo) but also provides elemental buffs at C2, boosting CRIT Rate, ATK, HP, or Energy based on party elements. Her Burst can heal if properly set up, adding survivability without needing a dedicated healer. However, she faces competition from Zhongli (shielding) and Albedo (off-field Geo DPS), meaning her value depends on whether you need a flexible Geo unit with team utility.
