Xinyan is a 4-star Pyro Claymore character in Genshin Impact. Xinyan is Liyue’s biggest rockstar, brandishing her guitar and bringing the power of the funk to the enemies around her. Xinyan’s bubbly personality and musical talents come through with her abilities, and while she’s mostly made appearances in events throughout the years, she’s become one of Liyue’s most beloved characters. Here are all of Xinyan’s abilities and ascension materials in Genshin Impact.

How to unlock Xinyan in Genshin Impact

Xinyan is a 4-star character and is therefore available to summon in the Character Event Wish banner, Weapon Event Wish banner, and Standard Banner. However, Xinyan will occasionally get a rate-up and drop more often during certain Character Event Wish banners, which is usually the most consistent way to obtain this character. Pay close attention to the Character Event Wish banner to see if your favorite 4-star character is receiving a rate-up.
