Genshin Impact was one of the best games of 2020, whether on console or mobile, and it was quite the achievement when the initial announcement led to an angry PS4 player smashing their console. While version 1.2 has just given us the fantastic Ganyu as well as Lost Riches opportunity, many people look forward to updating 1.3. One leak for update 1.3 indicates that the Xiao banner will be released, and if true, you will find Xiao’s closed beta skills and abilities for Genshin Impact.
Although update 1.3 will appear next month, fans should not forget that the current Lost Riches event is now available for less than a week. This means that you only have a very limited time left to get a Mini Seelie pet as a companion.
While you want to ensure that you get a Mini Seelie pet, below you will find the skills and abilities for the Xiao banner in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Update 1.3 leak
A suspected leak for updating Genshin Impact 1.3 is the Xiao banner.
Although it is suggested that Hu Tao will come to Genshin Impact via update 1.3, a popular leak indicates that the Xiao banner will also be released.
None of the above is confirmed by miHoYo, so it is far from certain that any character will be included and playable.
There were also some suggestions that Ayaka could arrive, but other leaks suggest that she will come in later updates like 1.4.
Although it is not confirmed that the Xiao banner will arrive in February, you will find below its closed beta skills and capabilities.
Genshin Impact Xiao skills and abilities
The skills and abilities of Xiao in Genshin Impact come from the closed beta.
Xiao was a playable character in the closed beta of Genshin Impact, though it is possible that his skills and abilities will be slightly different when he arrives in update 1.3.
His normal attacks carry out up to six consecutive javelin attacks, his loaded attack consumes endurance to perform an upward thrust, and a dive attack strikes him from the air to inflict AoE damage after the impact.
Lemniscatic Wind Cycling sees Xiao forward to inflict Anemo damage on opponents in its path, and it can be used in the air.
There’s also the Bane of All Evil which sees Xiao put on the Yasha Mask, and this increases the character’s jumping ability along with his attack AoE and DMG attack, and DMG attack is also converted into Anemo DMG.
In terms of passive talent, Gravity Defier reduces endurance by 20% for party members, and Tamer of Demons increases all DMG by 5% while under the influence of Bane of All Evil.
Finally, Heaven Fall increases the DMG for later use of Lemniscatic Wind Cycling by 15%. This effect lasts seven seconds and has a maximum of three stacks.
