TL;DR
- Xilonen requires 168 Brilliant Chrysanthemums, 46 Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores, and various whistle materials
- Talent leveling costs 1.65M Mora and uses Kindling talent books from Natlan domains
- Farm whistle materials from Natlan’s new enemy types and weekly boss drops
- Prioritize ascension to level 90 before investing heavily in talents
- Use interactive map tools and co-op to significantly reduce farming time
Xilonen emerges as Genshin Impact’s newest 5-star Geo support character in version 5.1, bringing exceptional utility to team compositions. As a renowned blacksmith and hero of Natlan, her unique ability to decrease enemy Elemental Resistance based on ally elements makes her incredibly versatile across multiple team archetypes. Her sword-wielding Geo kit provides both defensive capabilities and offensive support through resistance shredding mechanics.
Understanding her material requirements early is crucial for efficient progression. Unlike many characters, Xilonen’s value comes primarily from her support capabilities rather than raw damage output, which affects how you should prioritize her material farming. Her ascension and talent materials reflect her Natlan origins, featuring region-specific resources and new enemy drops introduced in the latest update.
For optimal team building, focus on pairing Xilonen with characters who benefit from resistance reduction, particularly elemental DPS units that can capitalize on the decreased defenses.
Leveling Xilonen from 1 to 90 requires careful planning and resource allocation. The total material investment includes both common resources and Natlan-specific items that may be new to many players.

Farming Strategy: Begin with Brilliant Chrysanthemums as they respawn every 48 hours and require multiple collection routes. Use interactive maps to mark optimal farming paths through Natlan’s volcanic regions. The Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores drop from the new world boss in the Tezcatepetl region, with a guaranteed drop rate that makes this a reliable farming target.
Common Mistake: Many players underestimate the time commitment for whistle materials. These drop from specific Natlan enemies that may require dedicated farming sessions across multiple days.
Maximizing Xilonen’s support capabilities requires significant investment in her talent levels. The total cost for leveling all three talents to level 10 reaches approximately 1.65 million Mora, making this one of the more expensive talent upgrade paths in the game.

Talent Priority: Focus on her Elemental Skill first, as this provides the core resistance reduction mechanic. Her Elemental Burst should be secondary priority, with normal attacks receiving minimal investment unless using her as an on-field driver.
Weekly Boss Strategy: The Mirror of Mushin drops from the new weekly boss confrontation in Natlan. Plan to complete this challenge weekly, using condensed resin on days when talent materials are available to maximize efficiency.
Optimizing your farming approach can save dozens of hours when preparing for Xilonen. Start by identifying which materials you can pre-farm before her release, particularly the local specialty and common enemy drops.
Daily Routine: Dedicate 15-20 minutes daily to collecting Brilliant Chrysanthemums along established routes. Use the interactive map feature to mark collected nodes and track respawn times efficiently.
Resin Management: Allocate 160 resin daily toward farming boss materials for Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores and talent book domains on their available days.
Co-op Advantages: Farming whistle materials becomes significantly faster in co-op mode, as you can access multiple worlds and effectively quadruple your collection rate. Coordinate with friends or use matchmaking to join other players’ worlds for resource collection.
Time Estimates: Complete ascension material farming typically requires 7-10 days of dedicated effort, while talent materials may take an additional 5-7 days depending on resin refresh usage and domain efficiency.
For advanced optimization, consider pre-farming materials during events that provide double drops or reduced resin costs for domains. These limited-time opportunities can dramatically accelerate your progress toward building Xilonen.
