Recent stats show that Genshin Impact has knocked it out of the park again by reclaiming the top spot for iOS revenue in Japan, thanks to the kick-ass introduction of the new character Xilonen. This new Geo character doesn’t just sit there looking pretty; she’s bringing more flexibility and a variety of support options that have gamers buzzing in the community.

Xilonen: The Geo Game-Changer
What makes Xilonen a must-have? For starters, she’s not your typical Geo character. The improved design of Geo characters in Genshin Impact has transformed them from being the underdogs of the element lineup to serious contenders in team compositions. Unlike previous Geo characters, Xilonen can easily adapt to different play styles and team setups.
She’s been making waves as a more versatile alternative to Kazuha, who has long been heralded as one of the best supports in the game. Xilonen offers buffs for all elemental damage types and, of course, adds her Geo prowess to the mix. As more players grow fond of duo-Geo parties, Xilonen will likely hold the title of the best support, solidifying Geo as a legitimate powerhouse.
The Gacha System and Revenue Growth
The gacha-based system in Genshin Impact enables players to summon various characters and weapons on character banners that refresh every 21 days. With the release of Version 5.2, the hype around Xilonen has caused a notable spike in revenue, confirming its position in the top-grossing app list. Sources like Sensor Tower have also validated this surge, demonstrating how the game’s community is actively participating in the excitement to pull for the new character.
Curiously, Genshin Impact experienced a dip in revenue during updates 4.8 and 5.0, attributed to players saving up their precious Primogems for the highly anticipated Natlan characters. However, with the latest banner featuring Xilonen, the trend has flipped, and HoYoverse’s strategy in revitalizing Geo units has paid off handsomely.
According to Reddit chatter, the last time Genshin Impact secured first place was during the release of Sigewinne in Version 4.7. Players were excited for Sigewinne and the charming Hydro Archon, Furina, which also boosted earnings back then. The continual updates and improvements to Geo elements have players more engaged than ever before.
Now that the game is back in the spotlight, explorers in Teyvat have new paths to wander and other characters to team up with. As they dive into the mysteries the game holds, strategies will evolve and the excitement only escalates for this RPG-adventure.
