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. When initial swing hits at least one enemy, it generates 4 Elemental Particles. Triggering higher level shields by hitting enemies is ping-dependent, with higher ping (usually over 100) making it inconsistent. The damage-over-time (DoT) effect on the Shield ticks every 2 seconds. If the shield lasts 12 seconds, this will deal damage 6 times. If the shield is broken by enemy damage, the DoT effect will also end. Xinyan will briefly gain the Pyro status upon casting this skill. While the shield is active, it will also apply Pyro briefly to any character that takes the field. Passive Effects Passive Talent 1, "The Show Goes On, Even Without An Audience...": Decreases the number of enemies that Sweeping Fervor must hit to activate Shield Level 2: Lead-In and Shield Level 3: Rave to 1 enemy and 2 enemies, respectively. Passive Talent 2, "...Now That's Rock 'N' Roll!": "Characters shielded by Sweeping Fervor deal 15% increased Physical DMG." Constellation Effects Constellation Level 2, Impromptu Opening: "Riff Revolution's Physical DMG has its CRIT Rate increased by 100%, and will form a shield at Shield Level 3: Rave when cast." Constellation Level 3, Double-Stop: Increases this talent's level by 3, up to a maximum of 15.

	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. The DoT portion of Riff Revolution can hit up to 7 times, but may knock smaller enemies out of its AoE. Constellation Effects Constellation Level 2, Impromptu Opening: "Riff Revolution's Physical DMG has its CRIT Rate increased by 100%, and will form a shield at Shield Level 3: Rave when cast." For more information on the shield, see Sweeping Fervor. The shield formed by this constellation can be overwritten by the shield formed by Sweeping Fervor, and vice-versa. Therefore, Sweeping Fervor should not be cast right after Riff Revolution unless the player is confident that a shield at Shield Level 3: Rave will be formed again.
