Playable Characters

Xinyan (Chinese: 辛焱 Xīnyàn) is a playable Pyro character in Genshin Impact.

Rock 'n' roll is a relatively unpopular style of music in Liyue, having recently been brought over from Fontaine. Xinyan, however, loves the sound — and she's slowly but surely amassing a fanbase of her own as she performs throughout Liyue Harbor.

Sweeping Fervor

Elemental Skill

Xinyan brandishes her instrument, dealing Pyro DMG on nearby opponents, forming a shield made out of her audience's passion.
The shield's DMG Absorption scales based on Xinyan's DEF and on the number of opponents hit.

Hitting 0 – 1 opponents grants Shield Level 1: Ad Lib.
Hitting 2 opponents grants Shield Level 2: Lead-In.
Hitting 3 or more opponents grants Shield Level 3: Rave, which will also deal intermittent Pyro DMG to nearby opponents.

The shield has the following special properties:

When unleashed, it infuses Xinyan with Pyro.
It has 250% DMG Absorption effectiveness against Pyro DMG.

Riff Revolution

Elemental Burst

Strumming rapidly, Xinyan launches nearby opponents and deals Physical DMG to them, hyping up the crowd.
The sheer intensity of the atmosphere will cause explosions that deal Pyro DMG to nearby opponents.
