Genshin Impact Leaks Xiangling's Stunning Skin Animations



Summary

  • Xiangling will get a new outfit for free during Lantern Rite Festival.
  • Xiangling’s popularity is due to her strong Pyro abilities in the game.
  • The new skin for Xiangling is exciting fans due to its Christmas-inspired design.

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed gameplay footage featuring Xiangling equipped with her new outfit, set to be released in the upcoming update. Cosmetics have largely taken a backseat in Genshin Impact‘s development, as HoYoverse does not introduce many outfits, especially when compared to the number of new characters added with each update.

However, HoYoverse has established a pattern of introducing new skins approximately twice a year around significant annual events. One of these events is the Genshin Impact Lantern Rite Festival, which celebrates the Lunar New Year and is always hosted in the Liyue region.

Genshin Impact reveals all the five-star and four-star characters scheduled to appear on the upcoming limited banners during Version 5.3.

Genshin Impact‘s recent Special Program event for update 5.3 confirmed that Liyue’s fan-favorite four-star character Xiangling will receive a new skin. A new post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit shows gameplay footage of the new outfit in action. Fans seem very excited about Xiangling’s new outfit, especially since she’s one of the most popular four-star units in Genshin Impact. In fact, according to the Spiral Abyss usage rate data, Xiangling is likely the most used four-star unit in the game alongside Mondstadt’s Bennett. The main difference between the two outfits is the color theme: Xiangling’s original outfit features a brown and yellow combination, while the new skin resembles a Christmas-inspired jacket.

Genshin Impact Players Could Get Xiangling’s Skin for Free

According to multiple sources, the new Xiangling skin will be handed out for free during Genshin Impact‘s upcoming Lantern Rite Festival. This comes as no big surprise, considering that HoYoverse has offered many skins for free in the past. While the majority of fans seem to like the new free skin, the only complaint they have is that HoYoverse should have also equipped Xiangling’s friend Guoba with a matching outfit. Guoba is an integral part of Xiangling’s design, as he can be deployed using her Elemental Skill.

One of the main reasons behind Xiangling’s popularity is her ability to fit into any team composition that requires strong Pyro application. Despite being a four-star unit, Xiangling’s ability to consistently deal Pyro damage with her Elemental Burst is nearly unmatched by any other Pyro character in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact has confirmed that Xiangling will not be the only Liyue character to receive a new outfit in Genshin Impact Version 5.3. The 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, better known as Hu Tao, will also receive a new outfit. However, unlike Xiangling’s outfit, players will need to purchase Hu Tao’s new skin through the in-game shop.
