Learn all about Shilonen, the electrifying Polearm user in Genshin Impact. Discover her abilities, team compositions, best weapons, and artifacts for maximum impact on the battlefield!
The Echo Children tribe lives in the depths of the rocky settlements of Natlan. The main craft of the Geo adepts is the processing of ore and the manufacture of forged items. Everyone in the fiery region knows the most skilled blacksmith. And this is Shilonen.
A seemingly stately girl who sees gemstones as more than just potential trinket in a jewelry box. For Shilonen, actions play the main role, because her feigned glory does not light the fire in the furnace. She has achieved such high heights in her ability to work with metal that the glasses of Archon Mavuika’s Pyro are the work of her hammer.
In this guide, we’ll cover what role Shilonen can play in your deck, the mechanics behind it, and the best builds.
Genshin Impact Character Description.
Shilonen is a 5☆ one-handed sword user who possesses the Geo God’s Eye. She is an iron ore miner and jewelry maker for the Children of Echo tribe. You shouldn’t give her a job unless you can describe the final product in great detail. Once you have the details down, you can look at that tree over there. She might be asleep there.
Like any other resident of the Echo Children tribe, Shilonen is crazy about music. As she handles a hammer on an anvil, so she handles the runners on a DJ stand. The girl will become a star at any party not only due to her bright appearance, but also due to the most pumping DJ sets.

Strengths and weaknesses of the character
| Pros | Cons |
| · Reduces enemy elemental resistance and heals allies, making her a versatile support in the pack.
· Buffs Pyro, Hydro, Cryo and Electro elements. · Moves quickly across various surfaces on rollers using phlogiston energy. Can make powerful jumps in the form of an ocelot, which also speeds up movement. · Plays from the defense indicator, so the build will be simple. This stat can be found more often than others. · Natlan’s Night Spirit Blessing feature allows Shilonen to wear the Scroll of the Burned City Hero set and play the role of a powerful support. |
· When assembling in main DD it will require constellations and a more careful selection of artifacts and weapons.
· To play fully as a support, Shilonen needs a second constellation. · There are few weapon options that would suit the character. · Doesn’t play well with Dendro characters, as he can’t give them any buffs. |

Team for Shilonen
Shilonen’s main mechanic is to activate samples to reduce enemy resistances and move into the pocket to make room for the main DD. As companions with different elements, consider the following teams.
Geo resonance due to Itto and two heroes with different elements to create additional Samples. The second hero as a sub-DD, Shilonen as a support and a shielder.
- Itto;
- Xiang Ling;
- Shilonen;
The Crystallization reaction game requires getting Geo, Pyro and Hydro characters. Our ocelot girl buffs everyone with Samples. The heroes use their abilities (ult and E), and Navia collects crystals and hits everyone with ult.
- Navia;
- Xiang Ling;
- Shilonen;
- Ye Lan.
F2P pack, where Lisa will be the main damage dealer. Thanks to Xiangling and her ult, we cause overload, and for the shield we add Noelle.
