Some newGenshin Impact5.1 leaks about Citlali’s abilities have emerged and, unfortunately, they already sound too similar to those of another existing character in the game. Citlali is one of the confirmed Natlan characters, though she has not yet appeared in HoYoverse’s action RPG. She has been mentioned in the story missions added with Version 5.0, but that has been the extent of her cameo, much like Xilonen. Citlali’s release is still uncertain and rumored to occur in Version 5.2, asXilonen’s release inGenshin Impact5.1should establish her as the only new character for the next patch.
While her official release has yet to be confirmed or even teased by the developer, there have already been some developments in the superficial reports about Citlali’s gameplay kit. This type of information is quite common – more concrete leaks occur in the beta tests before a character is released. Xilonen’s gameplay kit, for instance, has already completely leaked ahead of her Version 5.1 release. Citlali’s kit, on the other hand, is much less detailed. However, players can already start getting a sense of what they can expect from this new Natlan character inGenshin Impactonce she is released.

Citlali’s Abilities In Genshin Impact 5.1 Have Leaked
The Character Is Expected To Create A Shield For Allies
As seen in a new piece of information provided by the leaker known as Foul, which was shared in a post tagged as “Questionable” onReddit, a portion of Citlali’s gameplay kit has allegedly leaked. According to the leaker,Citlali’s Elemental Skill will have her summon an Elemental Shield. With her Elemental Burst, Citlali will allegedly conjure some sort of Cryo effect that lasts even while she is off the field. For reference, Citlali is confirmed to have a Cryo Vision, as seen in the teaser trailer forNatlan characters inGenshin Impact.
Foul has a mixed record of successful and inaccurate leaks.

Citlali’s Leaked Kit In Genshin Impact Seems Too Similar To Layla’s Abilities
Both Characters Can Create Cryo Shields
While the exact details of how her Elemental Skill and Burst will work in practice, the initial leak about Citlali’s gameplay kit is a bit concerning. Based on the current information, as is exemplified by the comment in the leak,Citlali seems very similar to Layla. Both are Cryo characters who are capable of generating an Elemental Shield via their Elemental Skill. Furthermore, Layla also creates a Cryo effect that keeps on applying the element to enemies while she is off the field, which somewhat matches the leaked description of Citlali’s Burst inGenshin Impact.
How To Get More Sanctifying Elixir In Genshin Impact
Sanctifying Elixir is a rare item in Genshin Impact that allows you to craft Artifacts and select both their main stat and up to two sub-stats.
The leaked information about Citlali should be considered with caution, as it may be subject to change or completely wrong. However, if the details are true, it should be interesting to watch exactly how her kit works to make Citlali different than Layla instead of an exact copy of her. Furthermore, this puts Layla at the risk of being shadowcrept by a newer unit, rendering her useless in future combat instances. With Citlali’s release rumored forGenshin Impact5.2, however, there is still time for more concrete details about her to be shared.
